Horror Movie Review: Within the Pines (2024)
Written and directed by Paul Evans Thomas, Within the Pines is all about sound. Not just what you hear, but what you don’t as well. Sometimes silence is more oppressive than anything else.

What we have here is the Silent Hill 2 shell and nothing more. All story depth is missing, all character depth is missing (shockingly in some cases), and any attempt to deal with heavy themes is lost in a miasma of safe ideas and unconvincing plot choices.
What an absolute mess Dark Tower is. A supernatural horror with very little action, horrible pacing, bad effects, iffy acting, and an ending that is eyebrow raising at best.
Directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Alex Garland, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple continues the story set out in 28 Years Later, with focus shifting to Ralph Fiennes’ Dr. Ian Kelson and Jack O’Connell’s Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal.
While Zombie Cop has some very minor entertainment value, it’s still a really bad film. Least of all because it lacks in the horror department.
In the abandoned town of Shelby Oaks, several paranormal YouTubers went missing and one has never been found. Who took Riley Brennan?
The latest entry in the TCU (Twisted Childhood Universe), Bambi: The Reckoning comes from director Dan Allen and writer Rhys Warrington. A horror-based retelling of the 1923 novel Bambi, a Life in the Woods.
For all of Xtro’s faults, and there were many, it was at least somewhat unique. Not only that, but it also had some moments of genuine memorability. Whereas Xtro II: The Second Encounter has none. Proving to be nothing more than a cheap and ugly Alien/Aliens ripoff.
