Wicked Horror is the author of Can We Acknowledge That ‘Event Horizon’ is the Purest Space Horror Since ‘Alien’?. Wicked Horror is the internet's only horror fan site for free original horror movies, news, review & more. So, let’s be honest right out of the gate: Paul W.S. Anderson is not known for making great movies. He is, absolutely, known for making fun movies.

Because of that, I think people tend to forget that Anderson can make a good feature when he really wants to. Shopping ..read more

Wicked Horror is the author of ‘The First Omen’ Goes There [Review]. Wicked Horror is the internet's only horror fan site for free original horror movies, news, review & more. The Omen and the franchise that follows is the horror series with the strangest history by a country mile, and also the nearest and dearest to my heart.

The term ‘elevated horror’ has been frequently used in the last ten years. It refers to horror films that are thought-provoking, have deep commentary, and push artistic/cinematic boundaries.
