The Manor (2021)

After a mild stroke, a nonconformist grandmother is admitted to a nursing home, where she slowly discovers that sinister events are taking place.

'The Manor' is a horror film in the tradition of the supernatural conspiracy investigations ones. The list of quality movies of this genre is very long (and includes titles like Get Out or Rosemary's Baby), and this film unfortunately does not rise to their level, perhaps precisely because of the derivative nature of some of the ideas. The ending is somewhat unexpected though.

Director:  Axelle Carolyn   

With: Barbara Hershey, Bruce Davison, Nicholas Alexander, Jill Larson

Rating: 6/10

Creepshow (2019– )

An anthology series that tells horror stories as if they were articles in a magazine called Creepshow, all introduced by the Creepshow ghoul.

The Creepshow TV show is a revival of the 80's movie series, with new scripts, way more modern special effects, and the irreplaceable dark humor. Each episode has 2 separate halfs, each a horror short film on effect. The subjects are varied, original and imbibed with new and modern blood, the guest stars are surprising, the quality varies, but the entertainment is guaranteed.

Director:  Greg Nicotero and others   

Production:  Shudder      

Duration:  3 seasons of 5-6 episodes (44 minutes each)   

With: Justin Long, Ryan Kwanten, Ali Larter, Ethan Embry, Bruce Davison, Anna Camp, Adrienne Barbeau, Hannah Fierman

Rating: 8/10
