The Saw series has been extremely popular over the years, but, as the movies went on, the formula that made the original Saw in 2004 work so well had become rather tired. The bloody traps were almost always fun, but the stories and characters became more convoluted and shallow as new entries in the series were pumped out year after year. 2017's Jig…

In 1984, Wes Craven introduced a new kind of horror movie to audiences.

Great ghost stories often have a strong sense of psychological horror to go along with the spooks and scares.

Find out all about it in my review of The Turnin…
