Us – 2019

Originality: It’s good to see that Jordan Peele wasn’t a one-hit wonder. There’s a strong case to be made that this film is as good as his previous one, but it is certainly the better horror film. The concept of doppelgängers is perfect for a horror movie and Peele gives weight to this world by […]

A Quiet Place – 2018

Horror movies have really gone downhill a lot.

One of his greatest films is easily The Shining. There are so many things to love about this film, but I’ll start with the direction. There are a […]
