By Sreejith Kamalanayanan Found-footage horror became a thing probably after that massive sleeper hit called The Blair Witch Project (1999). A slew of films followed that flaunted intentional fuzzy images and shaky camera movements: Paranormal Activity series, Cloverfield , The Visit are some of the notable entries in this league. Due to the over-abundance of the found-footage horror movies after the phenomena called  The Blair Witch Project (1999), the technique is now considered a fad. It doesn't interest us anymore but Cloverfield and The Visit were entertaining due to its strong story-telling quotient. The Devil's Doorway is the latest offering from the found footage horror school. It is set in Northern Ireland, 1960. It sticks to the found-footage format to tell the tale of an investigation conducted by two priests to unveil the mystery behind a bleeding Virgin Mary at a Catholic Church asylum. The two priests in The Devil's Doorway, Father Thomas Rile...

By Sreejith Kamalanayanan Rosemary's Baby released in 1968 was a watershed moment in the history of the horror film genre. It presented the disreputable genre of horror with a new direction and aesthetics. The Roman Polansky masterpiece is about a pregnant woman who believes she conceived the baby of Satan. The subtext of the movie is obviously the inner conflicts a woman undergoes while pregnant. A slew of other horror movies followed with a pregnant woman at the center of the narrative (There were some good films like ' Its Alive' ). We are currently witnessing a new renaissance in the horror genre and many of them deals with a similar theme, which Rosemary's Baby effectively tackled. Annabelle (2014) from the Conjuring series is a prime example. Out of the Shadows (2017), in that respect, is a mediocre movie that mixes Conjuring 2 and Rosemary's Baby to create horror. In Out of the Shadows, there is a demon that is meant to scare us. But unlike T...

Blood Hunt, the 2017 horror movie directed by Sam Curtain, is an interesting addition to the horror movie tradition. It seems no one has virtually seen this direct to video movie as Google gives zero results if you search for a review about this little movie on internet. Blood Hunt is a violent horror-revenge-thriller. The movie seems shot on a tight budget with the crew going absolutely 'frugal' while making this movie. The plot of the movie can be easily summarized in a short sentence. A couple goes for a trip to a small town, three men holds them captive and torture them. The hero then retaliates by killing the torturers. There is nothing original about the plot. The story has been told a million times before. But Blood Hunt arouses our curiosity. It is entertaining as well. The first thing you notice about Blood Hunt is that it strictly focuses on its lead characters only--the hero, heroine and the three villains. We may wonder whether the movie is ...

Mimic (1997) is a sci-fi horror movie, one of the earliest works of Guillermo del Toro. Mimic is not akin to Del Toro's masterpieces like Pan's Labyrinth and Shape of Water. Mimic also doesn't fall under his mainstream Hollywood exercise like Hellboy or Pacific Rim. But it does reflect his unique personal vision. Mimic is not a unique horror film. But it scares us considerably. The movie is similar to Ridley Scott's Alien-- an observation first put forward by the late critic Roger Ebert . Instead of a space ship we have the subway and trains. In Mimic, the deadly insects replace the aliens of  Aliens. The movie  starts by inviting us to a grim world where children die due to a contagious disease. The city depicted here has turned uninhabitable, especially for children. And no one has found a cure for the disease that kill children. The dying children Enter Dr Susan Taylor (Mira Sorvino), an entomologist. She discovers that the disease is caused by common...
