Apr 3 Pure Review (Film, 2019)

Shay has recently reconnected with her birth father Steve and agreed to join him and her half-sister Jo on a religious retreat. It is a Father/Daughter celebration of purity led by Pastor Seth. He preaches the responsibility of girls to follow the rules set out by their earthly and heavenly fathers to be a perfect untouched gift for their husbands on their inevitable wedding day.

As someone who considers Jesus Camp a horror film, I found just this opening concept of Pure to be prime grounds for horror.

Mar 31 Little Monsters Review (Film, 2019)

Film, Reviews

At the end of the second act of Little Monsters, David is having a quiet conversation with Audrey about her work. She is a kindergarten teacher, and she is good at her job. He’s taken aback when she actually speaks like a normal adult for the first time in front of him. The audience has already seen this, but the families of young children would never because it would change the teacher/student dynamic in a bad way.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe is medical/body horror, haunted house, home invasion, and thriller combined in one effective horror story. Austin works for his father Tommy in the family morgue. He’s about to leave for a night out with his girlfriend Emma when Sheriff Burke wheels a body into the facility. She is Jane Doe, an unidentified female found in the basement of a violent crime scene with no external markings of trauma.

Mar 19 Bird Box Review (Film, 2018)

Robert J Gannon

Film, Reviews

Bird Box is the kind of horror film that happens when horror is not used as an excuse to ignore good filmmaking techniques. Critically acclaimed filmmaker Susanne Bier steps into the director seat for an apocalyptic horror film with a concept requiring a subtle, sensitive approach to the subject matter. It’s a success in most ways.
