While a lot of Ringu knockoffs pulled directly from its aesthetics, not a lot of them were interested in its themes, IE the relationship between the technological future and the spiritual past. Oh sure, it was kind of there in One Missed Call, with the ghost possessing a cell phone, but it …
There’s a certain weirdness in comics that I’ve never found in any other type of media. I won’t deny there are strange books, films, video games, plays, operas, etc. out there, but there’s something about comics that allows for a particular brand of oddness to be tried and, in many …
American Horror Story is a show that, while not always the best, changed the TV landscape by its mere presence. A hyperviolent, hypersexual show that changed up the premise every season that had everyone guessing what would be the next theme. However, the show’s fifth season, Hotel, was incredibly lackluster, with …
We apologize for the lateness of this post, life has been…overwhelming me. Ah Takashi Miike. He’s such a fascinating filmmaker. He blows through film productions at a speed that would have Tyler Perry telling him to slow down, and often with a similar level of predictability. The difference is (besides …
Seasonal rom-coms have been all but killed by those massive ensemble cast movies that started with Love Actually. But in 1998, before all of that forced pandering, we got a Halloween themed rom-com that piggy-backed of the witch trend without falling into the awkward hole that was using teenagers as the …
As I said at the conclusion of last week’s article, Ringu was a massive hit in Japan, and massive hits inspire imitators. Ringu was no exception, with a legion of knockoffs, some of them were good, some of them were bad, but most of them were pretty forgettable. But the fact that …
Hocus Pocus is one of those childhood movies people associate with the fall season, no matter at what age. The Disney story of three witches coming back to life on Halloween night to suck the lives of the town’s children has the kind of aesthetic of the holiday people hold near …
Try as I might, I am genuinely hard-pressed to think of another horror franchise that feels anything akin to Phantasm. With its nonlinear, dreamlike narrative, its continuous serial storytelling – which makes it daunting to try and come into this series mid-stream, much less explain to a newcomer simply – …
Yes ladies, gentlemen and anyone in between, it’s time for yet another year of Remaketober! The rules, for anyone new to the party: Each week of October, I watch a horror movie and its remake, and compare and contrast them. No plot summaries, no scores, just a quick ramble on …
Because even though the month’s not here yet, the October feeling is already in full swing. I am going to preface this now just so some of what will follow is put into a proper context. As horror movies in general go, on the short list of titles that have …
