Misery
(1990)
|
Patrick King
|
James Caan is great, of course, but the center of gravity is Kathy Bates. The entire movie hinges on the believability of her performance. This is no easy task when you consider the range of emotions that have to be conveyed effectively.

Re-Animator

Gabriel Ricard

Combs plays the mad scientist/medical student with such intense comical focus, it stands as one of the best horror movie performances of all time.

Lisa Frankenstein
(2024)
|
Kyle Logan
|
Whatever the issue holding Lisa Frankenstein back from its highest potential, its joys outweigh its flaws and, despite the lack of indelible quotables, it’s great to see Cody back in high school.

We all know something bad is going to happen from the start of Blink Twice... That doesn’t make the majority of the film...any less fun or inviting. Nor does it make the film’s reveal any less impactful.

Longlegs is beautifully framed and shot. A thoughtful, well-made horror that does not quite connect the dots at the end, but leaves us with enough to chew on.

A Sacrifice

The movie sacrifices characterisation in favour of a twisty plot, but that ultimately backfires since we feel nothing when they are plunged into treacherous situations.

While Firebrand struggles a little when it comes to direction, the performances from Vikander and Law are superb. They evoke a burning tension when they are on screen together, a tension steeped in the wrestle for power, not love.
