    Hell Fest

    ★★

    Hell Fest delivers a visually appealing haunted house atmosphere but struggles to stand out in the crowded slasher genre. The setting—a horror-themed amusement park—provides some creative kills and eerie set pieces, but the film relies too heavily on predictable jump scares and underdeveloped characters. The masked killer is unsettling, yet lacks a strong presence or backstory to make him truly memorable. While it’s a decent watch for die-hard horror fans looking for mindless fun, Hell Fest ultimately feels like a missed opportunity to be something more terrifying and unique.

  • Psycho

    Psycho

    ★★★★

    Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho remains a masterclass in suspense and psychological horror. The film's shocking twists, particularly the infamous shower scene, broke cinematic norms and left a lasting impact on the genre. Anthony Perkins delivers a haunting performance as Norman Bates, blending charm and menace effortlessly. While some pacing may feel slow to modern audiences and certain plot points are predictable by today's standards, Psycho's atmosphere, direction, and score (by Bernard Herrmann) still hold strong. A must-watch for film lovers and horror enthusiasts, though perhaps not as terrifying now as when it first hit screens.

    Leprechaun 3

    ★★★½

    Leprechaun 3 is a campy, low-budget horror-comedy that continues the saga of the mischievous, murderous leprechaun. Set in Las Vegas, the film follows a hapless college student who stumbles upon a leprechaun’s gold, setting off a series of deadly events. The film delivers some fun moments, with Warwick Davis bringing his signature quirky charm to the role of the leprechaun. However, the script is pretty formulaic, and the acting is mostly forgettable, aside from Davis. The budget constraints are evident,…

    Leprechaun 2

    ★★★

    Leprechaun 2 is a quirky and campy sequel to the original 1993 horror-comedy. While it brings back Warwick Davis's fun portrayal of the malevolent leprechaun, the film struggles with a predictable plot and often lacks the charm of its predecessor. The effects and kills are on par with the low-budget expectations, but the film is bogged down by a lack of suspense or genuine scares. It does provide a few chuckles, but ultimately, it feels more like a rehash of the first film, without much to add to the mythology. It's an okay watch for fans of goofy horror, but not essential viewing.
