- DirectorMike FlanaganStarsEwan McGregorRebecca FergusonKyliegh CurranYears following the events of The Shining (1980), a now-adult Dan Torrance must protect a young girl with similar powers from a cult known as The True Knot, who prey on children with powers to remain immortal.3 ottobre 2020: i didn't see the writer/director's name until the end credits — is this really the same guy who made that piece of crap Ouija: Origin of Evil!? i might have to check out The Haunting of Hill House after all
Doctor Sleep is more dark fantasy than horror, which is not a complaint. The storyline is not the most original and doesn't particularly inspire me to read the 497-page novel this was adapted from, but i like the characters, and the acting is really good, particularly from fourteen-year-old Kyliegh Curran in her first leading role. The cinematography is not nearly as impressive as its predecessor, but the movie does keep me engaged for the full three hours, and not a lot of films can claim credit for that - DirectorMax GroahStarsTiffany KielyEric BosoDaniel Alan KielyA group of friends and zombie movie buffs have their life long dream come true. As their provisions run low, reality begins to set in and they realize that the zombie apocalypse isn't all it's cracked up to be.5 ottobre 2020

- DirectorJeremy GardnerStarsJeremy GardnerAdam CronheimNiels BolleThe personalities of two former baseball players clash as they traverse the rural back roads of a post-plague New England teeming with the undead.6 ottobre 2020: i decided to check out this movie after watching After Midnight by the same writer/director, and i'm not disappointed. i think it might be my favorite zombie movie since Zombieland. i like the folky, acoustic guitar soundtrack and score; even if it's music i wouldn't normally seek out to listen to, it fits the rural locations and meandering, simplistic story and folky style of microbudget movie-making. The two leading characters and the relationship between them is interesting, and there are plenty of memorable moments and scenes that mesh well with my sense of humor. i've added Tex Montana to my watchlist, and i'm excited to see what Jeremy Gardner will do next
- DirectorMike AhernEnda LoughmanStarsMaeve HigginsBarry WardWill ForteRose, a mostly sweet and lonely Irish driving instructor, must use her supernatural talents to save the daughter of Martin (also mostly sweet and lonely) from a washed-up rock star who is using her in a Satanic pact to reignite his fame.

- DirectorBenjamin ChristensenStarsBenjamin ChristensenElisabeth ChristensenMaren PedersenFictionalized documentary showing the evolution of witchcraft, from its pagan roots to its confusion with hysteria in Eastern Europe.i just finished reading Jack Stevenson's short biography on Benjamin Christensen, Witchcraft Through The Ages, and decided to check out Antony Balch's 1968 'version' of the film. William S. Burroughs narration is nothing special to me, but i really enjoyed Daniel Humair's weird and upbeat jazz accompaniment to Christensen's imagery. The original is incomparable though, and its footage is still the best part of this edit, so i'd suggest watching it first if you haven't
i'd give Balch's version a 7/10 rating - DirectorJohn LafiaStarsAlex VincentJenny AgutterGerrit GrahamWhile Andy's mother is admitted to a psychiatric hospital, the young boy is placed in foster care, and Chucky, determined to claim Andy's soul, is not far behind.
