THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN 1935

I just saw one of the saddest movies that can exist. "The Bride of Frankenstein" is the continuation of "Frankenstein" from 1931, here we will see that in that fire did not end the life of the creature. We will learn how his tragic life continues in a world where no one gives him the possibility to make himself understood, and where misunderstandings lead only to suffering and death. I love how the film begins, as we see Mary Shelley herself talking to Lord Byron and Percy Shelley about the poor creature and its tragic end. To which Mary replies that the story did not end there and that she would tell what happened next. The creature survived that crowd and that fire. And the first thing he does is to kill an old couple who wanted to make sure that he had died. In this movie Doctor Victor Frankenstein no longer wants to continue with his experiments, he has learned his lesson, however a new scientist appears, Doctor Pretorius, who wants to create a woman to be th...

NEAR DARK 1987

I think I already told you that I have a book that has a list of 50 horror movies that we have to see at some point in our lives. It had this film in it. To be perfectly honest I had never heard of it. I'm not even familiar with the poster (I'm a person with a visual memory). When I set out to see it I didn't even want to read the synopsis or watch the trailer. I wanted to be surprised. It's about a guy who meets a very pretty girl. In an attempt to win her over she pulls out her fangs, bites him and turns him into a vampire! Then the story is about how this boy must adjust to his new life and his new friends. I found a lot of similarities to the movie "The Lost Boys" yes, I know it's also about vampires, but I couldn't help but think of it throughout. The love story between the vampire girl and the newly turned human is a recurring thing here. But always showing us a protagonist who is uncomfortable, sick and in an environment that is clearly not h...

THE EXORCIST 1973

Today I wanted to talk to you about the last movie I saw, The Exorcist, based on the book of the same name written by William Peter Blatty. From the beginning I am going to say that it was a movie that I really liked. It deals with the horrible experience of a mother and her daughter, Regan, who begin to notice strange things in the baby. Suddenly she starts to pee on herself and starts swearing, things she didn't do before and the mother starts to despair because she takes her to all the specialists who can see her, but no one can find a solution and her daughter keeps acting the same way. So what she ends up doing is going to a priest to get an exorcism. I read the book more or less in the middle of the year and I found the movie very faithful to it, I loved the scenes of Regan possessed, with that hair all messed up, the hyper green eyes, vomiting every now and then also green, the acting of the characters.... The truth is that I think it's a very very very good mov...

PET SEMATARY 1989

Just a few days ago I finished the novel "Animal Graveyard" by Stephen King. And as usual I had to see what the movie was like. Which, by the way, is the one that makes Stephen become known to much greater levels. This is the story of the Creed family. Louis has just gotten a new job in the infirmary at Ludlow University. Because of this the whole family ends up moving into a nice house that is right down the road. And through which many trucks pass at all times of the day. And on the other side is old Jud Crandall's house. At one point the family cat (Church) is hit by one of these trucks. Old Jud seeing this feels the need to help Louis and take him to a cemetery behind the animal cemetery. In this old place the land is different, harder, more stony. But the worst thing is that it is cursed. Here they decide to bury the cat. Without knowing Louis that hours later the cat would be back home. And although it was not the same, it was alive. This fact will haunt Louis' ...

A horrible movie MAXIMUN OVERDRIVE 1986

I'm going to be direct with my opinion, this is one of the worst movies I saw not only this year, but in life. It's unbelievable the way it bores you. Before I started watching it I already knew about its negative reviews, but a part of me was confident that maybe the movie was in the "get him" range and that because Stephen King was the director people were expecting great things from him. But that's not the case. The first few minutes of the movie start off well. From what I understood a comet is going to be near the earth and it's going to take 8 days to finish passing. During that time electrical things are going to start behaving in a weird and dangerous way. We start to see bloody scenes, like the soda can machine that shoots in an exaggerated way and hits the professor in the head. Or the steamroller that runs over a child. These first few minutes made me believe that the whole movie would be entertaining. I even liked it a lot when the trucks started ...

“Heretic” (2024) – A24’s New Dark Gem That Dives Into Religion… and Messes With Your Head

“Heretic” (2024) – A24’s New Dark Gem That Dives Into Religion… and Messes With Your Head What if Hugh Grant himself told you he had discovered the one true religion… in a horror movie? That’s how Heretic kicks off—A24’s latest film that blends faith, manipulation, and paranoia inside a house where nothing is what it seems. If you’re into psychological horror with a philosophical twist, this one’s worth checking out. One night, I was in the mood for a horror movie and stumbled across this one. I’d heard a bit about it before, and apparently, it was supposed to be pretty good. Heretic , from A24, released in 2024, stars Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher, and Chloe East. It follows two Mormon missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Just knowing it was from A24 made me want to watch it even more—this studio gave us gems like the X trilogy with Mia Goth, Hereditary , The Witch , and Midsommar . And honestly, it starts off really...
