Werewolf Triple Bill – Part II

fenrisfil — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 12:36:29 +0000

The full moon is up again here at Screen-Wolf, so it’s time for another werewolf triple bill. I think I’ve finally washed the bad taste of “Wolf Man” (2025) out of my mouth, so this will be the last one for now. Here are three more reviews of this difficult to pull off sub-genre of …

Head to Head: Wolf Man (2025) & The Beast Within (2024)

fenrisfil — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 16:02:53 +0000

Today I have a Werewolf double bill for you, checking out the just released “Wolf Man” from Universal/Blumhouse and “The Beast Within”, an independent release, directed by Alexander J. Farrell, from last year. I’m going to put these two wolves head to head. These movies are pretty similar so it makes sense to make a …

Review Roundup – December 2024

fenrisfil — Thu, 05 Dec 2024 17:29:54 +0000

It’s been a while since I did a review roundup. But I’m back with three movies from this year to check out. These are basically family/kids movies. Seems appropriate for the holiday. All three of these movies will entertain kids and may entertain adults too. First up we have that other Ryan Reynolds movie that …

Review Roundup – Film Noir

fenrisfil — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 12:13:19 +0000

November is over, but I have three more Film Noirs I watched this month to review. That means you get another triple bill review round up! These reviews don’t get as many views as the horrors or recent releases, but that’s not why I do them. I do them because Film Noir is great and …

Saturday Night (2024)

fenrisfil — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 21:05:55 +0000

This is a Docudrama retelling of the hours leading up to the debut of the comedy series Saturday Night Live. This is a show due to hit it’s 50th anniversary next year and has become an established path for comedians to break into the movie industry. Less so in recent years, where frankly it’s reputation …

Gladiator II (2024)

fenrisfil — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 14:04:11 +0000

Somewhere near the top of the list of sequels I never expected to see is Gladiator II. But Ridley Scott making a return to the Roman Colosseum was also something I wasn’t going to miss, so here we are. The unexpected sequel see’s Scott return as director but this time around the story is by …

Human Desire (1954)

fenrisfil — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 16:35:51 +0000

I review a lot less film noir in November than I do horror in October so I have far fewer traditions to revisit. One I do seem to have managed is to squeeze in a movie by one of my favourite directors, Fritz Lang. So this year I’m checking out Lang’s subversive 1954 noir “Human …

Alien: Romulus (2024)

fenrisfil — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 19:09:58 +0000

October may be over, but I have one more horror review for you before I move on to other things. This one comes a little late, but unlike others I wasn’t overly enthusiastic about this movie. I’m talking of course about the latest addition to the Alien franchise “Alien Romulus”. The trailers had some cool …

1980’s Horror Triple Bill

fenrisfil — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 18:23:01 +0000

That’s right, It’s the final night of my October Review Challenge. That means it’s Halloween and *that* means it’s triple bill time. As you can probably guess, I watch the movies I review in October the day before I post (Sometimes earlier). So what I do on Halloween is sit back and enjoy three old …

1950’s Horror Double Bill

fenrisfil — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 16:40:49 +0000

Time for another horror double bill. This time we’re hitting the 1950’s for some classic horror science fiction. This was a popular sub genre in the fifties and in truth swayed more to science fiction but usually meant some kind of monster was involved along the way. No exception with this duo. So for your …
