The Sinister Cinema Story (2025) Review: The Portland Horror Film Festival ★★★★ out of ★★★★★ Intensity: 🩸 out of 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸 Are you a fan of obscure and cheesy cult films? Odds are, you would appreciate the efforts of Sinister Cinema, the Medford, Oregon-based distribution compan...

You may not be familiar with Sinister Cinema. However, if you're a fan of classic low-budget sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and action films, then you will be familiar with several of the movies in the Sinister collection. #PHFF2025 #PortlandHorrorFilmFestival #HorrorSky

Dooba Dooba (2025) Review: Portland Horror Film Festival ★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ Intensity: 🩸🩸 out of 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸 How is it that babysitting, traditionally the lowest common denominator flexible starter job, is so dangerous? Dooba Dooba is a lo-fi found footage film ...

If you think you know babysitter horror, think again; this movie has some wild twists. The film creates a moat of anxiety which will have you twitching from the dramatic irony of knowing too much, while the characters head blindly into awful decisions. #PHFF2025 #PortlandHorrorFilmFestival

House of Ashes (2025) Review: Portland Horror Film Festival House of Ashes follows a woman who has lost everything, serving home imprisonment for having a miscarriage and haunted by her husband's ghost.

Mia Sheldon finds herself imprisoned at home for the crime of having a miscarriage. Unfortunately, what opens as a promising premise slides into the overly familiar. The film dodges what could have been a fascinating sociological critique. #PHFF2025 #PortlandHorrorFilmFestival #HorrorSky

It Needs Eyes (2025) Review: Portland Horror Film Festival It Needs Eyes is a coming of age tale of a girl struggling with loss who copes with loss by diving into the dark corners of the internet. Lovely and heartbreaking horror.

This is a beautiful, slow-burning movie featuring terrific performances from young actors Raquel Lebish and Isadora Leiva. The film never terrifies, but the story will get under your skin and unnerve you. #HorrorSky #PHFF2025 #PortlandHorrorFilmFestival #ItNeedsEyes

Alma and the Wolf (2025) Review : PHFF Alma and the Wolf is a Lynchian quirky bit of psychological/werewolf/folk horror, powered by a great emotional performance by Ethan Embry.

Part psychological thriller, part folk horror. Alma and the Wolf spins a strange and surprising story that weaves themes of unfulfilled dreams and dark secrets. #PHFF2025 #PortlandHorrorFilmFest #HorrorSky
