Last Night in Soho Review: Edgar Wright Horror Movie Haunted with ’60s Style

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The incredible trailer for Last Night in Soho dropped in the middle of the pandemic like an oasis in a desert for cinema-starved folks longing for bold, original films. Looking back, it seemed impossible that Edgar Wright’s latest creation would be able to live up to the impossibly high standards set for it. But Last Night in Soho manages to be part charming and part chilling in its exploration of a very specific 1960s, giallo-inspired aesthetic. It’s a kaleidoscopic flurry of colors and images, and even as it perhaps loses the thread when it’s asked to make sense of itself,…

Crazy, Not Insane Review: HBO Serial Doc Examines Haunted Minds

New DVD release, , , , , ,
“Bigotry and insanity are different,” Psychiatrist Dr. Dorothy Otnow Lewis says at the beginning of HBO’s documentary Crazy, Not Insane. The idea that someone can kill for perfectly sane, yet irrational reasons goes to the heart of the controversial doctor’s work. Her mother seemed to be able to name every famous anti-Semite. Henry Ford, Richard Wagner, Joe Kennedy and “even Walt Disney,” Lewis lists. The man who made Bambi, which made Lewis cry as a little girl, hated Jews, she bemoans as the film unfolds. You never know what lies underneath even the most innocent appearing exteriors, director Alex Gibney’s…

“The police don’t believe in monsters,” we learned in Ed Woods’ 1955 B-movie horror favorite Bride of the Monster. But Full Moon Features does, and they know where to find them. On Friday, July 31, the channel and app dropped seven cult classics to their new 20-film series Haunted Hollywood. Every Friday for 13 weeks, they will add a new scary flick. Some of these films are frightening in their content, others for the stories behind the film. For some of these movies, the most horrifying thing is they ever got made in the first place.  Real life and Hollywood…

Jason Blum and Reinventing the Haunted House in You Should Have Left

New DVD release, , , ,
Jason Blum needs no introduction to horror fans. His company, Blumhouse Productions, has produced or been associated with some of the biggest and most effective horror titles of the last 15 years: Paranormal Activity, Insidious, Sinister, The Purge, Unfriended, Happy Death Day, and the recent Halloween reboot are all standouts on the Blumhouse slate. Like every other studio in Hollywood, Blumhouse had to shutdown nearly all production in March as the coronavirus pandemic sank its teeth into the world. The company’s last two projects, The Invisible Man and The Hunt, were just beginning their theatrical runs when movie theaters closed…

Relic: Horror Movie Offers Fresh Twist on Haunted House in New Trailer

New DVD release, , , , , ,
In times such as these, it can already be unnerving to know we shouldn’t leave the house. Perhaps that’s why it’s the perfect (or scariest?) time for a movie where the horror is within the home. Indeed, the original subject du jour of campfire yarns everywhere—a haunted house ghost story—is getting an intriguing new entry via Natalie Erika James’ Relic. The film, which made waves in January at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, appears to be steeped in the Gothic tradition of journeying into the unknown and an undead past. That at least is what it might seem like to…
