A penny for your thoughts on Death in ‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’
‘A Bay of Blood’ (1971) shows where ‘Friday the 13th’ came from
Frightening Friday (Movie review): The style and practical gore effects remain outstanding, but the plot of this Bava film has never been strong.
Coogler, Jordan team up again for too-safe ‘Sinners’
Movie review: It ain’t no sin to be glad you’re alive, but it’s hard to imagine a worse place to exist than stressfully racist 1931 Mississippi.
‘Stendhal Syndrome’ (1996) is stupid but rather engaging
Frightening Friday (Movie review): Asia Argento plays the least plausible cop ever, but her father Dario’s directorial style remains a high point.
‘House on Sorority Row’ (1982) doesn’t do enough with strong female cast
Frightening Friday (Movie review): Mark Rosman’s film serves up a half-dozen well-drawn sorority sisters, but the plotting lets them down.
‘Prom Queen’ invites more disposable ‘Fear Street’ fun
Movie review: The fourth film based on R.L. Stine’s books exercises its nostalgia for the “Prom Night” movies.
Argento comes stateside for hidden gem ‘Trauma’ (1993)
Frightening Friday (Movie review): Rydell and Asia Argento are excellent in this serial-killer mystery that blends giallo with noir.
‘The Old Ways’ (2020) suggests we’re better off with the new ways
Frightening Friday (Movie review): “Little Red Riding Hood” gets a hypnotic, horrific and character-driven update.
‘Two Evil Eyes’ (1990) is ‘two’ much of a bad thing
Frightening Friday (Movie review): You’d think a collaboration between Romero and Argento would be a safe bet. But in this case, safe is boring.
