Honest review of films and games
Read Time: 3 minutesIf you're going into this expecting something like Anaconda (1997), you might as well skip it. Anaconda Cursed Jungle will not satisfy that creature feature cravings you're having, as with most modern horror being released, this relied too much on CGI and you will not feel that fight or flight urge that most horror films are known for. Its a good weekday night flick, but not to make time for.
Read Time: 3 minutesThe poster for Clown of the Dead was very well made, unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations of it. The clown himself was more of a creep than a killer. He's not as scary as one would think, and it was the biggest let down aside from the crappy dialogue. Another recent clown horror genre released was Clown in a Cornfield (2025), also a skippable flick but much better than this one.
Read Time: 2 minutesIt was a meh movie. Curse of the Necklace is a mediocre level 90s B-movie horror, but not like those golden B-horrors like Braindead (1992). Dark Harvest (2023) was even more watchable than this.
Read Time: 3 minutesBring Her Back (2025) and Weapons are by far my top picks for horror this 2025. Weapons had a fresh take on how to tell the story, it might've been a gamble, but it was so worth it. I loved every bit of it, specially the heart stopping musical score. Highly recommended.
Read Time: 3 minutesThis was a great watch in my opinion, Birth/Rebirth made me fall in love with the genre even more. Its sci-fi subtle horror at its finest, probably one of the best ending twists I've seen this year.
Read Time: 3 minutesUntold tells the story of the untold on the news channel Untold. The title fits perfectly as the movie should never have been told in the first place. Crappy dialogue with annoying forced comedic moments. A very forgettable flick. Skip it.
Read Time: 3 minutesIt's honestly an enjoyable ride, but I'm thankful I didn't have to pay to watch it. It doesn't even feel like it deserved a theatrical release. Regardless, it was a nice gore flick with great use of dark humor. Honestly, the only thing that got me going were the d3ath scenes.
Read Time: 3 minutesThe Exorcism of Emily Rose is definitely one of the best horror films that came out during the 2000s. You could feel the terror in Carpenter's eyes and her voice. Perfect casting for a great storyline.
Read Time: 3 minutesA great Filipino-made cult horror movie with proper use of practical effects blended perfectly with an unnerving music score that builds up the tension. Great choice for a midnight watch.
Read Time: 3 minutesA so-so Indonesian horror with good effects, there are flaws but it has its merits as well. Indonesian horror continues to strive for greatness in this blood-soaked genre.
Read Time: 3 minutesStarry Eyes is one of the best representation of cult horror. Starry Eyes stands out with its use of practical effects and doesn't shy away from showing a bit of blo0dy gore and some nudity, all of which was done tastefully. Highly recommended.
Read Time: 3 minutesCase 39 is a decent, low-key demon flick, much like Eli (2019). The characters delivered great performances, and it was a pleasure to see Bradley Cooper and Ian McShane. The death scenes were great, I wasn't expecting it to be that good. Highly recommended.
Read Time: 4 minutesFrom the screenshots of "Strange Frequencies: Taiwan Killer Hospital" alone, I know I'd be in for a Class-A remake of Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (You should watch this instead). The story was okay; Jane De Leon's acting was superb. Its a good nighttime watch with friends, poor CGI though, and predictable jump scares.
Read Time: 3 minutesHonestly, Seklusyon far exceeded my expectations. I'm not too big of a fan of modern day Filipino horror films, but Seklusyon was able to stand out, despite having a storyline that most horror fans are aware of. It was a nice watch and its up on Netflix right now.
Read Time: 3 minutesThere weren't much jump scares actually, just the thought of an impending doom and how Art will do it. Like I said before, it's a straight up gore fest of a film. Normally I wouldn't be impressed as much if there weren't any backstory to the character, or even a motive, just something to base everything on, but this one really had me going and it was one hell of a ride. Can't wait to start watching Terrifier 2.
Read Time: 3 minutesIf you're looking for something to kill time and want something in the lines of horror/action/adventure, then you've found it! I wouldn't categorize it as a film more of like a survival flick. To be honest, it was disappointing, specially coming off of watching Eli Roth's The Green Inferno, I was expecting more or of the same caliber. I'd watch The Day After Tomorrow (2004) or 2012 (2009) any day over this hot mess.
Read Time: 3 minutesThe Ugly Stepsister is a great way to kick start body horror in 2025. The reimagining of the story was interesting. Everything was in place and well thought out. Definitely not for kids and strictly rated-R. Should you watch it? Of course! I highly recommend it.
Read Time: 3 minutesIts a meh kind of a campy horror flick. I honestly expected more of a marriage between Jason Voorhees and Art the Clown, that could've been awesome. Instead, we got a mediocre teenage slasher clown horror coupled with some irrelevant elements.
Read Time: 3 minutesThe Philippou brothers made the world know that "Talk to Me" wasn't a fluke. Music and Cinematography were on point as well and added that deathly dread that fits like a glove with the tone of the film. Because of the success "Bring Her Back" had, anything coming from them would be under my radar. Definitely on my top 10 for 2025 horror films.
Read Time: 4 minutesDay One is a great addition to the "A Quiet Place" franchise. It gave us a more detailed (yet we're still in the dark) insight on where those creatures came from and how the world acted when they first came here. The pacing was a little bit messed up though, but it was still a nice watch.
