Rating: R Stars: Jonathan Rosenthal, Tamara Perry, Regis Terencio Writer: Dwain Worrell Director: Jason Satterlund Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: July 19, 2024 (theatrical); July 30, 2024 (VOD) THE ABANDON is a fairly engaging science-fiction film that is mostly set in a single room. Not to worry – the scenery doesn’t get boring. Under Jason Satterlund’s direction, there is a sense of propulsion and suspense as the room keeps changing its configurations, gravity, and magnetism. THE ABANDON isn’t all minimalism, either. We begin in a war zone, with tanks and artillery continually firing and planes dropping bombs. On the ground, things […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Andrew Hovelson, Hannah Cabell, Lucas Near-Verbrugghe, Lea Zawada, Duke Huston Writers: Ben Bigelow & William Bigelow Director: Ben Bigelow Distributor: Miracle Media/Trinity Creative Partnership Release Date: July 9, 2024 (digital U.S.); July 15, 2024 (digital U.K.) THINE EARS SHALL BLEED is period folk horror that feels like a less ambitious version of 2016’s THE WITCH. We’re in the 1860s rather than the 1600s, the central family is not quite so strict, and the supernatural gets more verbal explanation. Nevertheless, it’s a clash between conventional evangelical religion and the forces of darkness. Reverend Ezekiel Thatcher (Andrew Hovelson), […]Read On »

KOLCHAK: HAUNTED & HUNTED | ©2024 Moonstone Books

Writer: Paul Terry, based on characters created by Jeff Rice and Richard Matheson Price: $7.49 Publisher: Moonstone Books Publication Date: May 24, 2024 There are certain books, films and TV series that are inflection points for their genres, subtly or even overtly changing the way things are seen and done ever after. One of these was THE NIGHT STALKER, which premiered on ABC January 11, 1972. Based on a previously unpublished novel by Jeff Rice and directed by John Llewellyn Moxey from a script by Richard Matheson, the telefilm introduced us to struggling but determined newspaper writer Carl Kolchak, played […]Read On »

Movie Review: LONGLEGS

LONGLEGS movie poster | ©2024 Neon

Rating: R Stars: Maika Monroe, Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, Nicolas Cage, Michelle Choi-Lee, Lauren Acala, Kiernan Shipka, Ava Kelders, Carmel Amit Writer: Osgood Perkins| Director: Osgood Perkins Distributor: Neon Release Date: July 12, 2024 LONGLEGS succeeds at being admirably scary, leavened by some very funny moments. Mixing FBI procedural thriller with supernatural chiller, writer/director Osgood Perkins has made a film that feels something like a hybrid of 1991’s THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and 1982’s HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH. (The latter isn’t a spot-on comparison, but it’s close as far as the magical mechanisms.) We get quite a […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Bob Gunton, Peyton List, Briana Middleton, Rachel Nichols, Austin Stowell, David Walton, Reese Alexander Writers: Chris LaMont & Joseph Russo Director: Alejandro Brugués Distributor: Vertical Release Date: July 12, 2024 (theatrical and VOD) NBC’s horror anthology series THE NIGHT GALLERY ran from 1969 through 1973. Created and hosted by Rod Serling, the show mixed gore with gentility in often upscale surroundings that looked expensive without being too extensive for television, and almost always with a twist ending. While THE INHERITANCE is a 2024 single-story feature (not to be confused with multiple other films with the same […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Rupert Lazarus, Sidney Nicole Rogers, Andrea Tivadar, Ken Lawson, Eleanor Williams, Emily Hall, Eric Roberts Writer: Gino McKoy Director: Gino McKoy Distributor: Goldove Release Date: July 12, 2024 LUMINA has a cool premise. What if your life partner turned out to be a frequent alien abductee? And where on Earth would you go to search for that person if they were taken again during your relationship? The opening seems promising. A vehicle drives past a helmeted skull in the desert. Spaceships are hovering in the air. A reptile that looks like a tiny dinosaur investigates a dropped […]Read On »
