RogerEbert.com — The Possession of Hannah Grace
This horror movie is so dark — visually, I mean, and not just thematically — that it’s often difficult to tell what’s happening. Maybe that’s not such a bad thing, given that there’s very little to this 85-minute, scare-free thriller, but it does make it tough to write about. This...
Read moreWhat the Flick?! Podcast 10/25/18
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? They’re questions that apply to both of the big movies we review on the latest What the Flick?! Podcast: Luca Guadagnino’s thrillingly gonzo “Suspiria” remake and the frustratingly safe Freddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which Ben, Alonso and I discuss a week...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Suspiria
Luca Guadagnino’s “Suspiria” is a gloriously gonzo take on Dario Argento’s 1977 horror classic — not a remake, exactly, but more of a serious (and seriously insane) expansion. The mood is deeply creepy from the get-go and Dakota Johnson and Tilda Swinton are exquisite. It doesn’t always work in its...

It’s a Halloween miracle: Ben Mankiewicz actually joined me and Alonso for the latest What the Flick?! Podcast. (One of these days, all four of us will be in the same place at the same time, I promise.) This week, we talk about the latest incarnation of the horror classic...

Alonso and I are here to invite you to join our girl gang on the latest episode of the What the Flick?! Podcast. We review the ultra-stylish, ultra-violent “Assassination Nation,” the latest ambitious, angry Michael Moore documentary “Fahrenheit 11/9,” Eli Roth’s family horror flick “The House With a Clock in Its Walls” and...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — The Nun
“The Nun” is a prequel to “The Conjuring” universe (the “Conjurverse?”), taking us all the way back to rural Romania in 1952 and the war-ravaged abbey where the series’ creepy nun first roamed the halls. Director Corin Hardy’s film is good for a few jump scares here and there, and...
Read moreChristy by Request — Razorback
“Razorback” had so much potential. It’s a grungy ’80s exploitation film about a ravenous boar rampaging across the Australian outback, devouring anyone who has the misfortune of being in its path. I’d never seen (or even heard of) this unabashed B-movie before it came up this past weekend as the...
Read moreChristy by Request — Suspiria
You guys told me “Suspiria” was a deliriously strange movie, but you didn’t warn me about the blind pianist who gets his throat ripped out by his own seeing-eye dog. Long before that shocking, gruesome moment, though, we’re on edge from the very start in Italian horror master Dario Argento’s...
Read moreWine the Flick?! — A Quiet Place
I’ve been a fan of Silversun Pickups for a long time, so I was thrilled to learn that Brian Aubert, the band’s lead singer and guitarist, is a fan of What the Flick?! too. And since he loves movies so much, I knew I had to bring him with me...
