Living Dark: The Story of Ted the Caver is a long title. It’s too long to repeat really. Therefore, I will refer to it simply as Living Dark from now on. Apparently, Ted the Carver is some kind of urban legend that I never heard about. When I read about it briefly I find that it originates from the early 2000s and is a text about someone exploring a cave. The further into it he...
Ok, let me share what I read about The Mansion of Madness prior to seeing it. “A mysterious man is sent deep into the forest to investigate the bizarre behavior of the notorious Dr. Tarr. What he stumbles upon is the doctor’s torture dungeon, a hellish asylum completely cut off from civilization and presided over by the ultimate madman. Innocent people have been savagely chained, tortured, and stuck in glass cages, then forced to take...
I really had no idea what Hellmouth had in store for me. I know it was a fairly new movie. With that said I feel that I must elaborate a bit. Everything made after like 2010 is fairly new in my mind. I have a little problem with time perception and still think it’s 1983 or something. I’m exaggerating of course. But often I don’t realize that 2014 and 2022 are so far apart as...
Incident in a Ghostland messes with you! I thought I had this flick figured out multiple times during my session with it. Each time, up until the very end, I was wrong though. I had to think over and accept the fact that I’m not as smart as I thought I was. First off, I thought this would be a film about ghosts in a conventional sense. It isn’t! I don’t think that is a...
Gaslight is one of the very few movies I once was recommended to see by my mother. This was back in the eighties I guess and I utterly enjoyed it. Now, many years later I finally got hold of it on DVD. Not that I’ve searched for it very hard, but I have felt the urge to revisit it from time to time. Now I got hold of an Italian edition of it, apparently with...
I don’t know how many times I said it already, but once the cover art is as appealing as this, the movie just has to be good! That’s not true of course. No film should be judged solely by the cover art. But still, I think people develop a sixth sense for these kinds of things. When you can enough experience you can tell the probability of this och that movie being good. As far as...
My wife and I usually don’t have the same taste when it comes to movies. It’s really strange because we’re both into horror movies. Anyway, the other day my wife surprised me with four movies. She had found the trailers online and I was supposed to choose one of them to see. After watching all of the trailers, my choice fell on Pyewacket. Partly because of the trailer of course, but I also thought the cover...
