The first time I heard about One Missed Call was while going through list after list online of supposedly good horror movies. One Missed Call was mentioned as a Japanese horror movie parody, which intrigued me. At the time though, I was looking for horror from somewhere else than Asia….
I love Guillermo del Toro. I love Pedro Almodóvar. I didn’t care much for the Hellboy movies, but Guillermo charmed me with Pan’s Labyrinth. Pedro, well… Pedro is such a visionary that he can’t be summed up in a brief introductory paragraph. He’s ingenious and audacious. Being embarrassingly ignorant about…
I pride myself in being a fan of the more obscure horror movies. Therefore I’ve been feeling very guilty for a long time for not having seen certain classics of the horror genre. Invasion of the Body Snatchers I ticked off my list long ago, and I found that very…
I’ve been a bit boring and serious, writing about these solemn movies with psychological horror in them (Garth Mareghi being the exception). I thought that I should write a fun post for a change, so as to avoid people thinking that I’m a complete stuck-up killjoy when it comes to…

That’s because Finnish horror is not really a thing. Which in turn means that being a masterpiece of Finnish horror doesn’t really mean anything….
