At the risk of being thought of as a shill for J-Horror films, I really didn’t want to like Reincarnation as the best entry into the After Dark Horrorfest, it just sort of worked out that way. Actually, I’d say it was pretty close between...
... superior Horrorfest offerings Penny Dreadful and while she’s not nearly as good in this film, it is one of the better performances and she’s a very intriguing actress. Nicole DuPort also turns in a solid performance as the heroic Dakota.

Crazy Eights is the moodier piece in this year’s After Dark Horrorfest collection. It plays on setting a pace and keeping it up until its final moments. It delivers a great ghost story that asks the question: is it easier to choose guilt o...
