The subject of isolation, horror and insanity is a hard thing to balance, but The Lighthouse manages to balance all of this in a brilliant way. There have been a few contenders of my movie of the year but this one might be the strongest of them! The Lighthouse takes place on an island in […]
Come to daddy is one heck of a father-son bonding experience! In one of Elijah Wood’s more odd roles he manages to make us laugh, cry and be a little bit scared at times. Norval gets a letter from his estranged father saking him to visit him. His father lives out in the middle of […]
I had high hopes for my favorite clown. But his silly antics did not really live up to my expectations. The kid group from the previous chapter had great dynamics and fun banter. The attempt to bring that back in adult form just fell flat and here’s why! Pennywise, the horrifyingly scary clown from outer […]
With stars such as Bill Murray, Adam Driver and Steve Buscemi to name a few, this zombie comedy seemed to was a match made in a golden comedy heaven. Sadly The Dead Don’t Die misses the mark on a lot of aspects. The Dead Don’t Die is a standard zombie movie. It’s based in a […]
When I saw this I was all alone. In a theatre all by myself. Seems like this movie flied under people’s radar even though it is a flick related to Guillermo del Toro. Directed by André Øvredal that made one of my favorite films of 2016 The Autopsy Of Jane Doe I felt confident this […]

Invasion of the body snatchers being their fantastic starting point for this event! This version of Invasion of the body snatchers is actually a remake of the original film from 1956. This particular version is directed […]
Not too long ago Spegeln had a double feature zombie night which featured One Cut Of The Dead and Anna And The Apocalypse. As a heavy horror movie geek this was right up my alley. Especially since One Cut Of The Dead had its one and only Swedish Screening. The zombie genre has sadly become […]
It has become quite the thing to do reruns of old movies in the Swedish cinema scene. While the big cinemas go for reruns of old blockbusters Spegeln is going a different route. They are showing some of the smaller films such as one of the first David Lynch movies called The Elephant Man. The […]
Let’s play hide and seek with a hideous acidic monster Did you know that Alien turned 40 this year? As a celebration Alien got a 4k makeover and Spegeln decided to show it. It was not just the visuals that got an upgrade but also the sound and the difference is like night and day! […]
