Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
THE MUSHROOM MAN
A most unique period piece from Mexico involving betrayal, racism and hallucinogenics.
DIAMOND PYRAMID
One of the better made-for-TV movies directed by the visionary and prolific András Rajnai, a pioneer in the Hungarian TV field
PROPHECY
This 1979 ecologically-minded monster fest is not to be confused with the 1995 Christopher Walken film of the same name
I’M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS
A most unlikely offering from writer-director Charlie Kaufman
PINOCCHIO
This 2019 film sought to adapt Carlo Collodi’s immortal ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO in its original un-Disneyfied form
LOCKE AND KEY: WELCOME TO LOVECRAFT
The opening scenes of LOCKE AND KEY are somewhat chaotic and confusing, but the narrative gradually sharpens itself into a streamlined tale of terror with the forward drive of a good novel.
THE LITTLE PEOPLE
This sixties-era novel shows its age in its extremely subdued approach; despite the audacity of its premise, THE LITTLE PEOPLE is very much an example of so-called quiet horror.
LITTLE ORPHAN VAMPIRES
What this perilously slim 82-page trifle lacks is the poetic charge and dark eroticism of Rollin’s best films.
LITTLE STAR
This is horror fiction as it should be: unashamedly dark, challenging and compelling. I feel it’s the finest novel to date by Sweden’s John Ajvide Lindqvist.
LITTLE BOY LOST
Wright of course specializes in odd novels like THE ISLAND and BLUE CANOE, and LITTLE BOY LOST is a worthy, and very characteristic, addition to his repertoire.

2009: Bedlam in Print
To those who claim the horror story/novel is dead—or the horror novel is worn out, or fiction in general is dead, or whatever—I’ve got this to say: you haven’t been paying attention

2007: Bedlam in Print
