Ichi the Killer (2001) 64% 8/10 EDIT “At first glance it’s very much torture porn, but there’s a real story there that provokes humanity’s most suppressed subconscious emotions. Ichi the Killer exemplifies the unpredictability of human perseverance and the utmost underbelly of society.” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review It's What's Inside (2024) 80% 8/10 EDIT “Although this isn’t traditionally scary, the thought of it happening to you sends a shiver down your spine. It’s a very fun, lively movie and I had a blast watching it again for the pod.” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Hush (2016) 92% 6/10 EDIT “It’s a typical home invasion movie and the twist of having a deaf protagonist is inventive and works well. ” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review The Neon Demon (2016) 59% 10/10 EDIT “This film is gorgeous, and the message it conveys is something that women can all understand and relate to, regardless if you’re a model or not. It’s a deep dive on beauty standards and the predatory nature of society towards women...” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992) 66% 10/10 EDIT “It’s eccentric and unsettling enough to keep you on your toes as you watch, but it also keeps so many secrets to the truth about Twin Peaks, about Bob, about Laura that it leaves you wanting more (and then you can watch The Return to satisfy that itch).” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% 8/10 EDIT “The twists were unexpected, I never guessed what would happen next the whole way through, and the few red herrings worked themselves expertly into the plot. This is more of a psychological thriller/family drama than pure horror, and I really liked it. ” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Red Christmas (2016) 48% 7/10 EDIT “What better way to get into the Christmas spirit than to watch someone get axed hotdog style.” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015) 77% 10/10 EDIT “The vibe is foreboding, horrifying, creepy, just all around a feeling of dread through the entire 95 minute runtime. It is tight, it is full of suspense and grief, and it is a genius way to tell the story like writer director Oz Perkins does. ” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Darling (2015) 69% 6/10 EDIT “The first act is boring as all hell but the second and third ramp up the action just a little bit, and the main actress Lauren Ashely Carter is a very good Kristen Stewart type.” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% 6/10 EDIT “This movie is a doozy. It’s fun and stylistic and seemingly poses an important question about misogyny in Hollywood, women not being allowed to age, the emphasis on beauty no matter how painful, etc, but the commentary falls flat. ” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% 8/10 EDIT “Michael Keaton soars as the titular character once again, and with this star studded cast, it is almost a perfect comedy. Catherine O’Hara remains one of the funniest women who has ever set foot on screen...” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Trap (2024) 56% 3/10 EDIT “After about fifteen minutes of pure concert, I was completely checked out. This movie is boring, it is unfulfilling, the trailer gives away most of the interesting plot.” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Grave Encounters (2011) 65% 7/10 EDIT “The pacing is good and the scares are effective even on a repeat watch... All in all, it is a good scary movie, it’s a fun time, but as you watch it multiple times it gets less effective. ” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review 1408 (2007) 80% 8/10 EDIT “The viewer is never bored, stuff happens so quickly and so often in this film that it was extremely difficult to take notes on it because I almost always missed something.” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Perfect Blue (1997) 84% 10/10 EDIT “The sense of dread, doom, and anxiety get bigger and bigger until it all comes to a head at the end of the movie. It is emotional, thrilling, scary, and hard to follow, but that is what makes it perfect.” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 1 (2024) 21% 2/10 EDIT “I don’t know if I was just tired, but I almost fell asleep at multiple points due to boredom.” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Tarot (2024) 17% 4/10 EDIT “I did like the costumes and effects of the tarot card creatures, there were a few funny lines (and by a few I mean two), but the script and acting was definitely lacking, leading it to be predictable and a bit silly in a bad way.” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Tales From the Darkside: The Movie (1990) 48% 5/10 EDIT “It’s always a hit or a miss when a TV show becomes a movie, but in this case, I think it is a romp. It’s fun, the gore is good, but it’s not very scary. ” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review The Collector (2009) 30% 7/10 EDIT “It’s fun, it’s inventive, there are a lot of unexpected twists and turns that keep you captivated... If you like gore, if you like interesting kills and action packed scary movies, this one’s for you.” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review V/H/S (2012) 56% 9/10 EDIT “I really enjoy this movie, how it switches from a slowburn creep out to a ghost story to a slasher and so on. I think it is a great movie to get you into horror, it is a great movie to revisit, it is a great movie period.” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 8/10 EDIT “ It’s compelling, emotional, gorgeous, and thrilling. And God Damn You Netflix For A Limited Theatrical Release.” – Horror Movie Talk Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% 10/10 EDIT “Excellent is not a good enough word to describe this movie. It is exceptional, phenomenal, show-stopping, incredible, stupendous.” – Horror Movie Talk Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Godzilla Minus One (2023) 99% 10/10 EDIT “This movie has it all. It had me laughing, crying, shocked, upset, and enthralled. To bounce from hard hitting emotional scenes to incredibly jarring and crazy action scenes and have it effortlessly flow is extremely difficult, yet Yamazaki did it... ” – Horror Movie Talk Sep 23, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 10/10 EDIT “I teared up, I laughed, I winced, I flinched, I felt all sorts of things. This is the ultimate dudes rock movie. It reminded me of how I felt watching Stand by Me for the first time. I loved this.” – Horror Movie Talk Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 10/10 EDIT “There’s great gore, and also some great comic relief in an otherwise melancholy film. The acting is great, especially from Cary Christopher (who played the little kid Alex). I loved this movie. No notes.” – Horror Movie Talk Aug 14, 2025 Full Review
