Broaden your horror horizon
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 08/11/2025
» As a fan of Stephen King and his classic horror stories like It, and having watched only the first three episodes of the new series IT: Welcome To Derry, I can already say this latest HBO Max series feels more impressive and more authentically "King-like" than either of the two film versions. And I'll tell you why.

» Fans of whodunnit murder mystery will be delighted to hear that Netflix has finally given us an adaptation of Richard Osman's best-selling novel The Thursday Murder Club, reimagined in the form of a movie. This adaptation is a fun, cosy and poignant little puzzle -- an engaging mix of heart, sorrow, humour and late-life epiphanies.
A blunt slasher

» It has been four years since Netflix released the Fear Street trilogy -- three interconnected slasher films that mixed 80s nostalgia, supernatural lore and time-hopping ambition. The movies came out during a period when anything evoking retro aesthetics, especially the 1980s, like Stranger Things, practically guaranteed success. Though far from perfect, the original Fear Street trilogy had its own pulpy charm, especially in the way it linked three different time periods together into one cohesive and mysterious narrative.
A shaky German thriller

» If you've already watched all the decent action movies on Netflix but still hunger for more, the latest German flick Exterritorial could serve as a temporary solution -- though probably not much more than that.
A fast-paced vampire thriller

» As a devoted fan of Stephen King since youth, I am familiar with Salem's Lot and its chilling narrative of bloodthirsty vampires infiltrating a small town. Many will recall the 1979 TV series adaptation, a tale potent enough to dissuade late-night trips to the kitchen or even a glance out the window.
A shark in the Seine?

» Who doesn't love shark movies? Watching a predatory creature attack can provide a rush of adrenaline as well as entertainment. Yet, it's been a while since we've seen a captivating shark film. Ever since the release of Jaws (1975) and more modern offerings like Deep Blue Sea (1999) and The Shallows (2016), subsequent shark films have grown increasingly absurd.

Death wears a hat

» Those who've been following David Fincher's career for the last 30 years, would know that he's been consistently delivering really slick, stylish genre entertainment. Some may remember him from directing Madonna's music videos back in the early 90s, like Express Yourself and Vogue, or the hit biopic drama The Social Network (2010). But what really set Fincher as one of the most respected filmmakers today was his work oftentimes, in the thriller genre. It's where you really get to see his signature style at play. And along those lines, I'm talking about movies like Seven (1995) Zodiac (2007) Gone Girl (2014) or even some of the best episodes of crime series Mindhunter (2017). Now the director has returned again in the latest Netflix crime thriller The Killer where he reunited with writer Andrew Kevin Walker who penned the screenplay on Seven.

Netflix's latest action/thriller, The Mother starring Jennifer Lopez, is about an assassin who has to come out of hiding to protect a child in danger. It seems as if it can garner attention, but will the storytelling and execution do it justice?
