Horror media reviews covering unsuccessful films and Poe-inspired radio drama
Various horror media works are highlighted, ranging from unsuccessful cinematic attempts to literary-inspired radio dramas.
In film, several titles have faced criticism for failing to deliver tension. "Slender Man" (2018) was noted by viewers for being "boring and dull," while "Ouija" (2014) was described as a predictable film lacking good dialogue. "The Bye Bye Man" (2017) also struggled to transform its premise into effective psychological horror.
In contrast, the radio horror play "Pohřbeni zaživa" (Buried Alive), written by Vít Vencl, utilizes motifs from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Drawing inspiration from stories such as "The Premature Burial," the production features performances by Martin Finger, Elizaveta Maximová, and Zdeněk Piškula.
