I’m not a big fan of birthdays. For me, receiving greetings (and gifts) from family and spending some time at a restaurant or on vacation are certainly enough. It’s not that age scares me or anything, but I find the situation, sometimes, a little embarrassing. However, I have found a way to accept birthdays with…

I like shark movies, even if they’re pretty predictable. In fact, in most cases I can predict what’s going to happen in a movie just by the name. That’s why when I saw “Into the Deep,” without much prior knowledge other than the name of the movie and its poster, I knew precisely what to…
Directed by Alexandre O. Philippe Chain Reactions is an incredibly intellectualized love letter to one of the most horrific films ever put to celluloid. Unlike the varied nature of many Alexandre O.

It nevertheless offers excellent acting from most of the actors (notably Sosie Bacon, Kevin’s daughter, in the main role), combined with a tense atmosphere and grim, well-executed scenes. Even…
Do you like alligators? If your answer is “yes” or at least “not in reality, but yes in cinema”, the following news will please you. “Crawl 2” is being developed by Paramount, and there is already some exciting news related to this. With horror giant Alexandre Aja behind the camera and a different cast and…
There are films where everything seems to go wrong. God forbid we don’t talk about those damn horror films, apparently or not, in which freak accidents or just bad luck attack the actors. The story of “Scream 7” is slightly different. In fact, behind the scenes in which the film is It’s more of a…
