Honestly, by any reasonable definition, this is a perfect horror movie. It spends exactly enough time setting up characters to get you invested in their deaths and shines in everything it does and is. The cast is perfect, the music, the tone, the visuals ...

A more than capable sequel that trades in the lo-fi quality of the original, brings in a star-laden cast and leans a bit more towards gung-ho action movie. Britain has been emptied out of the infected (mostly). There's a lot to be said for them not being z...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/ash-2025 · 27 Apr 2025
More visually appealing than narratively coherent Ash is a fairly compelling and ambitious debut for Flying Lotus (whose work I’m entirely unfamiliar with so everything here is absent that context). Eiza González and Aaron Paul are an interesting pairin...

A classic of early aughts horror. Oddly optimistic, violent, bloody and visceral — plus it looks like it was shot on my second iPhone, or an iPhone 4? I immediately knew this was British not because of the accents or the scenery but because the people ac...

Half-baked, over-acted and mediocre at best. The twist is...terrible? Not gross, but yeah. No, no — don't watch it to find out. It's not worth it. I'd be upset if someone pulled up a chair and stared at me from my lawn though, I get that. Hasn't happened...

Another Cronenberg making horror movies? Sign me the hell up. Not as outright grotesque as the work of her brother or her father but the concept is dark, doesn't entirely avoid some gore and entertaining throughout. It toes up to being darkly comedic and J...

🌲🦌👐🏻🏚️🩸 And this is why I don't like hiking. I appreciate nature, I like the abstract concept of nature but I don't want to go commune with it. You've got a map, a compass and more dead friends. You wander into a cabin only to realize N...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/presence-2025 · 23 Mar 2025
A haunted house movie shot from the perspective of the presence haunting it. Or, well, maybe not — the scariest presence in the house is the family. Sure — some stuff flies around. That's part and parcel of the genre, but the way the film is shot is th...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/the-witch-2016 · 18 Feb 2025
Picking apples, making pies. The atmosphere throughout this movie is so weighty it could sink a ship. Maybe it should have. Every step of it is brilliantly acted, shot in gray-ish, desaturated hues and hellishly dark. Move to the new world, bring the kids,...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/the-gorge-2025 · 16 Feb 2025
A perfectly entertaining movie that works better by virtue of its romantic elements than its horror and action sequences. It's corny, the special effects are decent enough and the plot is pretty predictable. But it's fun throughout (of course a military co...
