'Mandy' Is a Roller Coaster Ride Through the Gates of Hell
Mandy starring Nicolas Cage is a hell-raising retro-trippy horror film tracing back to the 80s with LSD drug-induced hauntingly-beautiful fantasy images that will give you nightmares with a twist of Satanism! It's a violent, bone-chilling disturbing, sinister satanic “rock opera.” If you've ever witnessed rock films like Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” and Rocky Horror—you can well relate to a classic heavy metal album such as Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell and combine it “Ghost Rider” and “Raising Arizona” where one of the characters wears a warrior vest. Nicolas Cage's character, Red Miller, wears one also. They should create Mandy: The Ride at Disneyland. I think that would be a big hit with the tourists.

'The Nun' Movie Review: A New 'Conjuring' Spin-off Has Arrived!
The Nun is the biggest horror movie opener since The Conjuring, and it gave us endless suspense from beginning to end. So The Nun movie is the prequel to The Conjuring and the movie was a solid horror film. Right from the beginning, Jason Blum, who is the CEO of Blumhouse Productions, gave us a genuine suspense and I was spooked completely.

'Within': Review and Aftermath
This article will contain spoilers; turn back now before continuing. I have seen my fair share of horror movies. It's the only genre I'm ever in the mood to watch. My personal favorite is paranormal; slashers are unpredictable and terrifying, but nothing freaks me out more than something that we are not capable of seeing.

A Short Review of 'Slenderman' (2018, Sylvain White)
7 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, 3/10 on IMDB, 29 percent on Metacritic, what the hell did I get myself into!? As well as bad reviews, this film has received controversy and even a petition to stop its production, because of the characters association with a number of crimes that were committed in the U.S. following its popularity, with accusations that the project was trying to cash in off real life.

It's a Ghost Thing, You Wouldn't Understand – Review of 'The Screen at Kamchanod'
Without giving away huge spoilers, the plot of The Screen at Kamchanod is like this: In 1987, four movie screeners were hired to show in a movie in the Kamchanod forest in Thailand. No one showed up to watch the strange film until near the end, when people came out of the forest and oddly walked up the screen. It's said that they disappeared.

A Short Review of 'Secret of the Marrowbone' (2018, Sergio G. Sanchez)
Secret of the Marrowbone really fell short for me. Actually no, not short, not short at all. More like fell into a massive hole that lay before me in the middle of the Grand Canyon. Yes dear readers, that much of a disappointment. The film admittedly still has some merit and is a capable psychological thriller/drama but unfortunately something did seriously just slightly spoil it for me. There are two twists. I'll try not to mention specifics in case any of you wish to see it, although why you'd wish to see it after reading this review would be slightly baffling. One of these twists, the main one that occurs at the end, was well executed and brings everything together nicely and fully complimented the plot, even though it did get slightly predictable towards the end. The other for me was too far fetched and knocked the story off balance. Completely off balance.
