LANA: Folk Horror at Its Finest

Gallery

This gallery contains 19 photos.

I absolutely love a good horror film based on centuries-old folklore and superstition!  When done right, the richness of myth and legends become tangible realities–gritty, more than merely imagined.  When done well, they bring to life the passion of ancestors before us… Continue reading

How to Survive a Horror Film

Gallery

This gallery contains 33 photos.

In my years watching horror films, I’ve accumulated a book’s worth of advice for surviving one.  Yes!  Life in a horror movie is a close call at death every minute.  Arteries are cut, necks are broken, bodies are eviscerated… Continue reading

The Hallow

If ever you move into a small community in the countryside, and the locals are unfriendly, telling you that the woods nearby are haunted or filled with monsters, leave immediately!  Yes!  No matter how quaint and cozy the place looks, no matter how well-manicured and green those pastures are (especially if it’s someplace in Europe, with thousands of years of history), believe the scary backwoods tales and legends you hear.

ORPHAN

As I’ve said many times before, evil children scare the #&*% out of me!  There’s just something extra creepy about kids—having such innocent appearances—being the sources of malevolence, mayhem, and, in the worst cases, even murder.  Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman), in Orphan, is… Continue reading

RED BALLOON

A voyeuristic journey into a house and through a hallway leads us closer to a female voice in the distance. The voice, we see, is from a barefoot girl talking on the phone and painting her toes.
