'Kuroneko' Review: A Japanese horror film with folklore connections
After recently watching Kwaidan I had a bit of an interest to continue watching some Japanese horror films. I hadn't seen many from the 50s or 60s, though it seems that era was ripe in stories that...
'November' by Rainer Sarnet Review: A highly unsettling story on searching for the soul
I've been watching a lot of films lately and absolutely loving it, checking out all kinds of films and styles that have given me a lot more inspiration to work with for my own photography and desir...
'8½' by Federico Fellini Review: The search for creative inspiration
I don't think I've really watched anything from Fellini beyond La Dolce Vita, but that's by far one of my favourite films of all time. It's absolutely beautiful in its wide cinematic aspect ratio, ...
'Kwaidan' Review: Beautifully made Japanese horror from the 60s
I've been in quite a horror mood as of late and for the most part I have been sticking with more modern releases over the more older ones. Though I came across a teaser for an upcoming 4k restorati...
'The Goonies' Review: Does it hold up?
I never really see anyone mentioning The Goonies anymore. I suppose it's a film that finally fell into the 'old' category of cinema as the times have changed. This had me wanting to check it out as...
'Jurassic World Rebirth' Review: This one was better!
Finally, after watching the previous borefests that were Fallen Kingdom and Dominon, I have reached Rebirth, directed by Gareth Edwards. This is what I was really interested in checking out this wh...
'Jurassic World: Dominion' Review: As bad as the last
Having watched Jurassic World: Fallen Kindgom the day before, I figured I'd continue leading up to the most recent film in the franchise that I was more interested in checking out. Fallen Kingdom w...
'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' was disappointing
I remember the original Jurassic World being a bit of a dud, but it still tried to reboot the Jurassic Park franchise in a new way that seemed fitting to the previous ones: the mistakes of man to p...
'Evil Dead Burn' Review: I really liked this one
I've been rather enjoying the return of the Evil Dead franchise lately. While they aren't always a hit each film, there's definitely a charm to them that isn't quite found in today's horror genre. ...
'Warfare' by Alex Garland Review: Garland does a war propaganda
I think Garland as a director can be a bit hit or miss, but I like the way he directs a film regardless. They tend to have a very specific look to them that is gritty. A look that has film grain te...
'Rose of Nevada' Review: An incredibly strange English arthouse film
I've never been much of a fan of UK cinema, and it's something I've mentioned quite a bit throughout the years here on Hive. But sometimes something appears before me that captures my curiosity eno...
'The Last Man on Earth' Review: Vampires of the 1960s
No, not the recent television show that was a bit of a niche hit despite getting an unfortunate cancellation and featuring the much eccentric Will Forte! This is the 1964 thriller/horror film shot ...
Stray Puppies with Aerochrome
Kodak Aerochrome was initially a film developed during World War 2 that was used in capturing a more infrared look, in hopes that it would help with revealing enemy locations during wartime. Though...
'Masters of the Universe' Review: It was actually quite good
I'm not sure what made me check this out beyond hearing that it wasn't that bad despite flopping upon release. I've never really been a fan for the He-Man universe, never watched it as a kid, never...
'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent' Review: Likely swept by Covid era restrictions
I recently stumbled across this film and was surprised I had never heard of it, though when I saw the release date I noticed it was probably heavily impacted by the insane levels of Covid restricti...
