How ‘The Lighthouse’ Torments Its Audience – ScreenHub Entertainment

From the opening shot, The Lighthouse is an exercise in psychological torment. This is hardly a detriment to the film. It’s an unpleasant experience, but this is by design. In a superb example of both filmmaking and storytelling, Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson’s new film employs numerous tricks of the trade to torture its audience as much as possible, thereby creating a constant feeling of … Continue reading How ‘The Lighthouse’ Torments Its Audience – ScreenHub Entertainment

How ‘The Blob’ Popularized Teen Horror Films – ScreenHub Entertainment

It’s no secret that most American horror films of the last 50 years are teen centred. Many classics of this period from various slasher films to supernatural thrillers feature younger protagonists in an effort to appeal to a younger audience. Though commonplace now, horror wasn’t always a teen-centric genre. That all changed in the late 1950s with a little film called The Blob. For those … Continue reading How ‘The Blob’ Popularized Teen Horror Films – ScreenHub Entertainment

Halloween II vs. Halloween 2018 – ScreenHub Entertainment

Since its release, David Gordon Green’s Halloween sequel has earned critical acclaim for being perhaps the best follow up to John Carpenter’s 1978 original. For the longest time, that title was held by Rick Rosenthal’s Halloween II, the highly successful 1981 follow up that took place on the same night as the original. Halloween II continues the saga of the 1978 film. Picking up moments … Continue reading Halloween II vs. Halloween 2018 – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is quickly becoming the latest streaming blockbuster on Netflix.

A Very Spoilery Review For ‘Once Upon A Time In…Hollywood’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

Quentin Tarantino’s 9th film has proven that the director still has the imaginative energy that continues to make him one of Hollywood’s hottest talents. It also manages to be perhaps his most sentimental, low key, and perhaps even his most outrageous film to date. In case the title didn’t make it evident, we’re going to be entering spoiler territory. So without further delay, let’s discuss … Continue reading A Very Spoilery Review For ‘Once Upon A Time In…Hollywood’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Midsommar’ Is Two Hours of Dread – ScreenHub Entertainment

Ari Aster is an unusual director. Many people consider him a horror director, but I disagree. While most horror films are overt in their attacks on an audience, Aster takes a more subtle approach that borders on psychological torture. In this regard, Midsommar is one of the most overbearing and uncomfortable films I’ve seen in recent years, so much that it’s hard to tell whether … Continue reading ‘Midsommar’ Is Two Hours of Dread – ScreenHub Entertainment

Though Stranger Things 3 continues to enjoy the warm critical reception of its predecessors, I couldn’t help but notice some stark changes from the show that captured my imagination back in 2016. While the original show was a superb blend of science fiction and horror, Stranger Things 3 has put a far greater emphasis on comedy at the expense of many of the scares. But … Continue reading How ‘Stranger Things’ Has Changed – ScreenHub Entertainment
