Drop (2025) 84% 3/5 “Drop begins as a stiff, paint-by-numbers, Blumhousian affair; but Fahy’s performance, a competent script, and tight direction ultimately buoy the strong premise as the tension flows organically in the final two thirds of the film’s efficient runtime.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Suspiria (2018) 65% 2/5 “Suspiria’s unifying theme is robbed of its potency by an inscrutable plot, opaque characters, and an excess of cinematic flourishes.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Final Destination (2000) 40% 3/5 “Final Destination is a vapidly entertaining film, with sleek production and effects making up for a lackluster plot and bland characters. The film’s bread and butter are its elaborate deaths, and on this front it mostly delivers.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Opus (2025) 41% 2.5/5 “While Opus is a fairly enjoyable watch, its original pop music is the film’s only memorable take-away, as the rest of the movie feels anything but original. Opus feels like deja vu in the wake of multiple recent releases that share the same plot.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Mar 26, 2025 Full Review Arcadian (2024) 78% 2/5 “Arcadian is more frustrating than enjoyable. Neither the camerawork, script, nor the performances allow the viewer to be absorbed into the film’s world or its emotional arc. Characters barely emote, and the film feels hollow and stiff.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Tourist Trap (1979) 57% 4/5 “Tourist Trap may not be the most exciting or gruesome film from the Golden Era of Slashers, but it is more haunting and eerie than the bulk of its peers. What it lacks in slasher tropes it makes up for in its memorable production design and aesthetic.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Mar 12, 2025 Full Review The Sixth Sense (1999) 86% 5/5 “All these years later, The Sixth Sense still holds up as an all around great film. The film powerfully portrays the emotional journeys of three separate characters without short-changing any of their stories.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Mar 5, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 78% 2/5 “Unfortunately, most of The Monkey’s attempts at dark humor do not land. The film is repetitive, nonsensical, and allows us no connection to its characters. The film’s confusing tone and CG kills further undermine its effort at splatstick comedy.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Feb 26, 2025 Full Review I Saw the Devil (2010) 82% 3.5/5 “While I Saw the Devil may not have the narrative complexity to justify its runtime, the examination of vengefulness and its toxic effects is a theme perhaps better served by the length and relentlessness of this grisly thriller.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 4.5/5 “Companion’s twists, turns, and stellar pacing keep you engaged for the film’s entire runtime, but what makes the film stand out from the pack of similarly themed stories is its effortless sense of humor and an excellent performance from Sophie Thatcher.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Eraserhead (1977) 87% 4/5 “Eraserhead is unsettling on nearly every level. The film is so surreal as to be profoundly disorienting, but still maintains enough structure to give emotional weight to its themes.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 50% 2/5 “Neither the horror nor the drama lands in Wolf Man. The film adds nothing to the werewolf genre. The choice to ignore many of the genre’s tropes and tenets may even dissatisfy those coming to the film simply to immerse themselves in all things werewolf.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Oculus (2013) 75% 4/5 “Despite some questionable logic and character motivations, Oculus delivers an intense descent into madness and fear as it deftly juggles two terrifying timelines.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% 4/5 “The meticulous style of Robert Eggers is a perfect fit for a remake of the 1922 classic. The film’s visual aesthetic and dialogue make this feel like a work of art that stands on its own two clawed feet.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Jan 2, 2025 Full Review Christmas Bloody Christmas (2022) 78% 3.5/5 “The film’s first act is soured by its insufferable dialogue. But in the rest of the film, Begos’s chaotic tendencies are channeled into sleek, stylish action that feels more focused than any of his prior work without feeling any less kinetic.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Jan 2, 2025 Full Review Oddity (2024) 96% 4/5 “Oddity infuses originality into the classic gothic horror structure, but it shines the brightest in its masterfully crafted home invasion scenes, which contain some of the most suspenseful movie moments of the year.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Freddy vs. Jason (2003) 41% 3/5 “It is a shame to see so much CGI in 2 franchises known for their practical effects work, but once the script emerges from its introductory exposition phase, the film becomes clever enough to lift these flailing franchises back up from the depths of Hell.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Vampire's Kiss (1989) 63% 2/5 “One can’t help but be interested in Cage’s performance the same way one’s attention is drawn to a car accident on the freeway, but the movie would have been better served with a drastically different approach to the character.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Dec 4, 2024 Full Review The Invitation (2015) 90% 4/5 “The Invitation is a tense and uncomfortable film, but being grounded in our main character’s perspective gives us a stake in each awkward event that unfolds. It is a vivid exploration of grief with a conclusion satisfying enough to justify the discomfort.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 91% 3.5/5 “The twists and turns of both the plot and the intellectual debate within are quite gripping, accentuated by 3 excellent performances. By the film’s conclusion it’s clear that the film may be little more than shallow fun, but fun nevertheless.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Nov 20, 2024 Full Review American Psycho (2000) 68% 3.5/5 “The film’s crisp and controlled style is immediately appealing, but things become repetitive in the film’s second act. Luckily the open-ended and frenetic conclusion makes for an even more compelling examination of the film’s themes.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Prince of Darkness (1987) 63% 3.5/5 “While the film’s heady concepts don’t ultimately amount to much in the film’s otherwise exciting conclusion, they make for an interesting journey of discovery alongside Carpenter’s somewhat forgettable cast of characters.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Smile 2 (2024) 86% 4.5/5 “Not since James Wan has a director so deftly landed this many jump scares. But Parker Finn’s films go harder and darker than any Conjuring or Insidious film and bring their own unique and grimly playful style. An excellent performance from Scott...” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Ginger Snaps (2000) 90% 4/5 “The film’s legacy is rightly tied to its themes about womanhood and puberty, but what makes it a gripping watch is its raw and authentic story about two strongly written and aptly performed characters.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Terrifier 3 (2024) 78% 3/5 “After a while one starts to become numb to the extreme violence, and the gore packs less of a punch due to overexposure. However, the laudable effects work and the performances of the 3 key players keep the film afloat despite its lackluster story.” – Horror Movie Club Podcast Oct 16, 2024 Full Review
