“The Apology” – A Traumatic and Tense Christmas Thriller [Review]

Christmas is a time for family, but it can also be a time for intense stress.  No movie combines family drama and intense trauma quite like Shudder’s latest exclusive film The Apology.  Starring Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad), Linus Roache (Batman Begins, Mandy), and Janeane Garofalo (Mystery Men), The Apology is definitely more of a drama/thriller than straight up horror film.  But it’s masterfully written, acted, … Continue reading “The Apology” – A Traumatic and Tense Christmas Thriller [Review]

When it comes to giallo, there is no director more synonymous with the subgenre Dario Argento.  With such classics as Suspiria, Deep Red, Tenebrae, Phenomena, and Inferno to his name, it’s hard to believe that the latter part of his career was filled with critical and audience flops like Dracula 3D, Giallo, and Mother of Tears. After a decade-long hiatus, Argento returned to the director’s … Continue reading Dario Argento Returns From a 10 Year Hiatus with “Dark Glasses” (Review)
