REVIEW — Humbug Witch (Lorna Balian, 1965)

Celia PayneMay 25, 2023May 11, 202303 mins

And we’re back with the second of three Halloween-themed children’s books from my mom’s past (that she has given to me, and that I share with my own kid). This time it’s Humbug Witch, a book about a little girl that dresses up as a witch and has a lot of fun doing so.

Bad Movies Gone Good: The Happening (2008)

Celia PayneMay 18, 2023May 2, 202304 mins

Sure, it’s easy to make fun of this M. Night Shyamalan flop about killer plants, starred by none other than Marky Mark. But I’m here to say that The Happening is better than you remember it, and deserves at least some praise.

REVIEW — Primal Rage (1988)

Celia PayneMay 11, 2023May 2, 202303 mins

Primal Rage, an Italian-American production, is part of the animals-gone-wrong branch of 80s sci-fi horror. But don’t let the premise fool you; Primal Rage is more than just schlock.

Celia PayneMarch 30, 2023March 21, 202303 mins

When an alien ship crash lands near a forest marsh, the local mosquito population mutates and becomes giant, dog-sized bloodsuckers that attack camp-goers with an extreme intent to kill.

At times a little strange and silly, Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre is a deep dive into the subconscious and salacious.

FORTY FIVE blends cult paranoia, grief, and biblical horror into a chilling slow-burn where faith and evil collide. Creepy cloaked figures, end-times dread, and a father desperate for answers make this indie short one haunting watch.

Blending documentary and horror, Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages explores witchcraft through eerie imagery — from possessed nuns to witches’ sabbaths. Balancing fact and fiction, this early 20th century masterpiece presents a chilling (and sometimes darkly humorous) theory that medieval “witches” may have suffered from what we now understand as mental illness. Häxan is truly unique and ahead-of-its-time piece of cinema. 🕯️

Häxan is streaming now on @indiecinema.co 📽️
