67 h. ago The Decadence by Leon Craig review – queer haunted house tale fails to chill

Privileged university friends retreat to the countryside, in a gothic novel mostly made up of vibesIn many ways I am the ideal reader for this queer haunted house novel from the author of the 2022 short-story collection Parallel Hells. As a teenager I was a passionate fan of gothic literature; I love a haunted house novel, and believe The Little Stranger, Sarah Waters’s masterpiece of the genre, is yet to be bettered. It’s an admiration that Leon Craig shares. She also cites Donna Tartt’s The Secret History as an influence, which gives some clue to the setup that greets the reader in The Decadence.

8 d. ago Good Boy review – crafty supernatural horror leads with a heroic dog

A lovable pet is unlikely protagonist of 73-minute haunted house riff that has ingenious moments but gets repetitiveIn the horror genre, you’d be a fool to ignore the concerns of a dog. While cats are mainly lurking in dark spaces waiting to collaborate with the orchestra on a cheap jumpscare, dogs are quick to alert their owners of nefarious goings on, acutely sensitive to threats whether they be human or not.In the often ingenious new horror film Good Boy, a pet dog isn’t just an easily dismissed harbinger of evil, he’s the main character. Like last year’s Presence, which saw Steven Soderbergh tell a ghost story through the lens of the ghost, and In a Violent Nature, which gave us a gory slasher as seen by the killer, we’re given a fresh perspective on a story that’s anything but, this time a haunted house horror as seen by Indy, a loyal retriever. He’s worried about his owner Todd (Shane Jensen, whose face we barely see), who’s retreating to his grandfather’s remote cabin after a...
