I was obsessed with this movie when it first came out almost 20 years ago. It was interesting watching again after such a long time. The story is about a psychotherapist named Catherine (Jennifer Lopez) who works on an experimental technique involving technological merging of minds in an attempt to help bring a young boy out of a catatonic state. Meanwhile, a serial killer…

This installment in the Chucky franchise moves so far into the absurd territory that it starts to feel a bit surreal. Chucky and Tiffany have a child named Glen/Glenda (voiced by Billy Boyd) who struggles to control his homicidal urges. Jennifer Tilly plays both Tiffany and herself thanks to some meta movie-within-a-movie stuff. You got some attempted soul transference stuff. You got some Chucky…

What's in a name? This movie explores the summoning power of words when three college kids, Elliot, Sasha, and John move into a spooky off-campus house and unknowingly unleash a supernatural serial killer called the Bye Bye Man. It's kind of like Candyman for a new era. What makes it interesting is the subtle scares and the psychological downward spiral of the characters. Is…

What the 1922 Nosferatu couldn't achieve due to the time period, this version does in spades. The 1979 German production directed by Werner Herzog takes the familiar story of Jonathan Harker (Bruno Ganz) and his quest to sell property to Count Dracula (Klaus Kinski) in Transylvania. This is the art house version of Bram Stoker's Dracula and it is masterfully done. Normally, I prefer…
