The movie Heist from 2015 left quite an impression on me, especially the characters Francis ‘The Pope’ Silva and Luke Vaughn, brought to life by seasoned actors Robert De Niro and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Their compelling performances kept the film intense throughout. However, the storyline, which revolves around family love—particularly for children—and the mutual understanding…
I Spit On Your Grave 2 (2013) is a follow-up to the 2010 film, but it’s not a direct sequel. Instead, it feels like a standalone reimagining with tighter logic and a fresh perspective on a surviving victim. Unlike the desolate, isolated setting of the first, this installment unfolds in a populated society with involved…
REC (2007), a found-footage horror film, can be tough to stomach if you’re not used to its shaky, first-person style. As a pioneer of this technique, it sparked a wave of copycat horror films.

Story Summary In the small town of Derry, seven kids face their deepest…
Years ago, I watched I Spit On Your Grave (2010) and was floored. The relentless intensity, from Jennifer Hills’ harrowing ordeal to her savage revenge against her rapists, was gripping, violent, and deeply satisfying. Revisiting it a decade later, I still felt that rush, though I noticed some flaws this time around. Despite these, the…

When Evil Lurks (2023) is a supernatural horror film from Argentina, co-produced with the United States. It delivers a sense of mystery, unease, revulsion, and tension. Unlike the typical modern horror film, it doesn’t prioritize high-stakes drama or action. Instead, it centers on the perspective of a man (the protagonist) who encounters a possessed individual…
