    ★★★★

    "Pin" is a hidden gem of psychological horror, delivering a chilling experience that lingers long after the credits roll. The film's unique premise, centered around a medically-obsessed family and their ventriloquist dummy, Pin, is executed with skillful precision. The tension builds steadily, creating an atmosphere of unease that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Terry O'Quinn's performance is exceptional, adding depth to the complex character dynamics. While the pacing could be tighter in certain moments, the overall impact is undeniably effective. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers, "Pin" is a must-watch.

  • An Angel for Satan

    An Angel for Satan

    ★★★½

    "An Angel for Satan" is a visually striking film with a haunting atmosphere and beautifully shot scenes. The gothic setting and cinematography truly captivate the audience.

    The performances are generally solid, with Barbara Steele delivering a standout performance. While the film has its moments of brilliance, it falls short in maintaining a consistently engaging narrative. Worth a watch for its aesthetics, but don't expect a seamless storytelling experience.

    Dawn Breaks Behind the Eyes

    ★★★★★

    Dawn Breaks Behind the Eyes is a feast for the eyes and the mind.

    Best to go in blind and let the film wash over you. There is so much I could write about the film but I'll just say: This is as good as it gets!

    Highly recommended!

  • The Hole

    The Hole

    ★★★½

    Rewatched this one againand still holds up.

    Kind of a film that slipped under the radar, even though it's just as claustropohic and unsettling as I remembered it.

    Also, completely forgot that the dude from Dexter and Keira Knightley are in this!
