Deliberately, unabashedly ugly, The Lighthouse is not an easy watch, but a striking exercise in claustrophobia that is sure to leave a mark.
Movie reviews for the passionate of film
Category: Horror
Underwater (2020) – Movie Review
Underwater is a lean, relentless horror-thriller that barges into the screen, does its job and then barges right out again.
Ready Or Not (2019) – Movie Review
Who can resist a chance to gawk at beautiful Gothic mansions and expensive dresses while coming out in favor of overthrowing the rich?
Midsommar (2019) – Movie Review
Midsommar lived up to my great expectations in the best way possible, which is to say, it displays a lot of the genius that made Hereditary great while breaking brand new ground, never once feeling like a continuation or a retread.
The Perfection (2019)
For the first of the three distinct acts that make up The Perfection, it feels like we’re watching a brisk, tightly wound horror film, clever and stylish; then it goes downhill, wasting talented performers and beautiful cinematography.
Us (2019) – Movie Review
The less you know about Us, the better; trust that it is terrifying and brilliant, go, and suffer well.
Velvet Buzzsaw (2019) – Movie Review
What I liked most about Velvet Buzzsaw is that, for a film so acerbic, so sarcastic, so misanthropic, so nihilistic, its brutal takedown of the art world is… actually quite well done.
