Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
4 outta 5 Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is very similar to the first film where it ups the carnage and adds more well-known actors to the mix. It isn’t exactly a lazy copy and paste of the original film as there are a lot of new twists here. This builds out the…

Ready Or Not (2019 review)
4 outta 5 Ready or Not is an extremely messy horror comedy that is insanely madcap, gory, tense yet also very funny from start to finish with an especially great performance by the lead actress. This takes the locked house thriller genre and throws in a bunch of people who really don’t know what they’re…

Blog: Mini-review – The Bride!
3 outta 5 The Bride! earns bonus points for being incredibly weird. Like so weird at times it gets a bit off putting and incomprehensible as the leads spend a lot of it yelling in undead rage every few minutes. But they’re both interesting actors and more compelling than the various competing subplots and characters…

Scream 7
4 outta 5 Scream 7 manages to get a lot of mileage out of returning veterans, giving the 30 year series a nostalgia bump. Also, the kills are messy, even by this series standard, featuring a bar setting kill that may stand out as one of the most brutal and craziest in the series. It’s…

Scream 4 (2011 review)
4 out of 5 The weird, and interesting, part about Scream 4 is that it’s a sequel that is also a remake. It’s also remake where characters know that they’re in a remake. Hell, even one character empathically says to not screw with the original. It has meta-fictional wheels within wheels within meta-fictional wheels that…

Send Help
4 outta 5 Send Help is a thriller that is darkly funny as it follows two characters going increasingly bonkers. It has a cascading series of unfortunate events as the audience’s sympathies shift over the course of the film. There is a lot of yelling that gets funnier and intense, as the story which seems…

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
5 outta 5 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is the weirdest entry in the 28 Days/Weeks/Years series, and considering how weird this series gets, that is saying something. This film picks off immediately after 28 Years Later and, even though it is quite connected to the previous film, this has a darker, stranger identity.…

Anaconda
3 outta 5 Anaconda is a decently funny meta take on the corny 1997 Anaconda film. In this movie the characters have a reverence for the original film and debate if they are making a remake, reboot, spiritual sequel, which signals what this is going to be. The chemistry of the leads are very fun,…

Predator: Badlands
4 outta 5 Predator films have been going through many installments, with the latest Predator: Badlands taking the series into the future and featuring some light crossover with the Alien franchise. It actually takes one of the meanest villains in sci-fi and makes him a likeable protagonist, which is probably helped by giving him a…
