This Korean shocker fulfills all your expectations regarding Korean Horror films. There’s plenty of onscreen violence and lots of gore FX. But it goes a couple of steps beyond expectations with its story and with its performances. This one is as good as they get. “Whoever fights monsters must be careful, lest in the process…

THE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER: WEREWOLF Part 36
Oh, how soon they passed, those happy days! How much the memory of them lingers still, a sweet agony in my heart! Thirteen years. I had expected thirty. But then the witch could not, could she, have predicted the plague that came to our shore? No one else did. The captain of a merchant ship…
THE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER: WEREWOLF Part 35
Dalmontenes had welcomed me home with exuberance upon my return from the witch’s domain, and he wasted no time in keeping his promise to me, to make of me a sailor. I set sail within a month of my return from downriver, and while not born near the water or reared upon it, I took…
The Closing Window
You may recall that I predicted this a few weeks ago during the kerfuffle between movie theater chain AMC and Universal Pictures. When Universal threatened to start sending more of their movies directly to livestreaming, AMC announced that their theaters would no longer be exhibiting any Universal movies. It was a pissing contest, and I…
The White House Witch Doctor
We tend to avoid talking politics here and on our sister sites VAMPIRES.COM and DARKNESS.COM. These are entertainment sites, and no one should be subjected to politics when seeking entertainment. As this current topic deals with demons and evils, though, we’ll touch on it briefly. Friends, please don’t believe the conspiracy theory nonsense being promulgated…
WEREWOLF: THE APOCALYPSE – HEART OF THE FOREST
From the linked article: “Find your way through the primeval wilderness in the center of modern Europe. It’s where the protectors of nature wage their ancient, neverending war against the forces of destruction. You play as Maia, who comes to Poland hoping to trace her family roots. She will discover her family’s dark secrets and…
Sympathy for the Wolfman
Here is a nice little editorial waxing philosophically on the put-upon nature of the Wolfman character in fiction. “In every reimagining or riff on the character, the Wolfman is a tragic figure.” So says the linked article. I can’t think of any example where this statement is wrong. There are stories where the werewolf is…
The Zombie Polar Bear
I wrote on over at our sister site VAMPIRES.COM about how I decided to watch all the GAME OF THRONES episodes—and only those episodes—featuring the Night King, the White Walkers, and the Wights. I knew I’d be getting lots of dragon action, too, including a zombie dragon. The zombie polar bear, however, came as a…
THE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER: WEREWOLF Part 34
Strange, is it not, how quick we are to believe those things we wish to be true and to disregard those we would prefer to disbelieve? I gave little credence to the witch’s prophecy that I would meet my doom in an encounter with Lycanon. This I dismissed as a product of deviltry and as…
Waiting on the Wendigo
ANTLERS, from Director Scott Cooper and producer Guillermo del Toro, had its theatrical opening delayed for an entire year because of the pandemic. It is scheduled to open in February of 2021, and please God let them have that vaccine by then so it doesn’t have to be delayed again! While we are forced to…
