With strong performances and an expertly used decaying Venetian setting, this is a must-see.

My new review dives into the compelling Italian film, The Forbidden Room (Anima persa) aka Lost Soul (1977), directed by Dino Risi. This atmospheric blend of gothic mystery and psychological drama is packed with family secrets and palpable dread, evoking the tone of Don’t Look Now and The Possessed.

Step into the unsettling world of Italian horror! This new review dives into Mario Bava's film, Shock (1977). This is an intriguing blend of psychological trauma and potential supernatural haunting, as a mentally fragile mother and her family move back into a house tormented by a vengeful ghost.

The premise is compelling: a group of high school students unleashes an entity when they blow an ancient Aztec Death Whistle. While the film is a generally entertaining entry that delivers on its horror elements, it struggles with some underdeveloped character dynamics.

While it offers creative visuals and a solid premise, it struggles with slow pacing and underdeveloped plot points.

a low budget blaxploitation film. I’m pairing it with Twisted (2026). This stars Djimon Hounsou and doubles for Women in Horror with his co-star Lauren LaVera. I also got to see these films for Mini-Reviews: Alice, Sweet Alice (1976), Witchhammer (1970), The R.I.P Man (2025) and Anacoreta (2022)

A curious cinematic experiment, The House of Exorcism (1975) stitches together the surreal imagery of Mario Bava’s Lisa and the Devil with new possession-horror footage. Featuring eerie performances by Telly Savalas and Elke Sommer.

Dive into the dark side of modern relationships with this review of Bight (2025), the erotic thriller from director Maiara Walsh! It's an effective, if intentionally uncomfortable, film that uses a night of forced vulnerability and mind-altering substances to explore jealousy and betrayal.
