by | Feb 14, 2021 | , ,

A remake by Patrick Lussier of 1981's My Bloody Valentine, My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009) tries to experiment with what was then a new cinematographic technology and its use in the slasher genre. We take a look at the film for our Steps in The Dark collection and try to see what it brought to the story it was inspired by. My Bloody Valentine 3D - Premise Ten years before the events of the movie, a young and inexperienced miner called Tom Hanniger causes an accident that kills five men and...

My Bloody Valentine (1981) – Steps in The Dark

by , | Feb 12, 2021 | ,

My Bloody Valentine, directed by George Mihalka, is a slasher genre movie set on the day of the popular celebration of love that is Valentine's Day. That is why we chose today to talk about it for our Steps in The Dark collection, even though, as we already said, it is much more of a splatter movie than it is a horror, but it can definitely serve to stay on the topic of the current Valentine celebrations. My Bloody Valentine - Premise Twenty years before the events of the main story, on...

Krampus – Steps in the Dark

by , | Dec 11, 2020 | ,

A fairly recent movie, released just in 2015, Krampus is a horror-fantasy film that takes inspiration from the popular creature known as Krampus. This is, in fact, a very interesting character that can make for an ideal starting point for a good story. Krampus - Plot After an extreme confrontation divides his problematic family during the holidays, Max decides that it is time to finally put Christmas behind him. What he doesn't know is that his lack of holiday spirit will unleash the wrath of...

The film we'll be looking into is Black Sunday, released in 1960. The setting, however, is Moldova, which isn't all that surprising when considering vampire stories. Black Sunday - Premise In the Moldova of the 1600s, the witch Asa (Barbara Steele) is sentenced to death with her lover and buried in the family tomb....

by | Oct 9, 2020 | ,

Released only a couple of months ago, Peninsula promises to expand the world created in Train to Busan and, following it, has to face very high expectations for a movie that's been almost four years in the making. Plot Right after the zombie epidemic, an ex-soldier (played by Gang Dong-won) and his team look for a valuable cargo that was left behind in the desolation that South Korea has become. Review I saw Train to Busan not that much later than its release and from the moment a sequel was...

An epidemic in three parts: Train to Busan

Train to Busan is the second movie of the saga in chronological order, but the first to be released in movies on a large scale and the one that most contributed, with its success, to the distribution of its prequel and the creation of its sequel. Plot During a trip to accompany his daughter to his ex-wives house, Seok-Woo (played by Gong Yoo), a Korean businessman, finds himself trapped with the rest of the passengers on the train to Busan in the middle of a zombie outbreak that is quickly...

An epidemic in three parts: Seoul Station

by | Oct 2, 2020 | ,

Right from its release, Train to Busan has gained fame and recognition that were fully deserved. It's cemented itself almost immediately as one of the best movies of the horror renaissance of the last few years and brought with it the possibility of expanding its narrative universe with two more works, one that precedes and one that follows it: Seoul Station and Peninsula. However, Train to Busan's immediate success might not have been enough to guarantee that its prequel and sequel maintained...

A new column is coming on our portal and its name is Steps in the Dark and will be dedicated to horror movies of all time. As we have already done with Memories Forgotten, dedicated to animation we will face a path that will lead us to rediscover old cinematic masterpieces that will make your hair stand up. As a great fan of the horror genre, it was probably to be expected that sooner or later, I would bring the theme here too. Literature and cinema, on the other hand, often travel hand in...
