Movie Review – Annabelle Comes Home
I enjoyed Annabelle enough to garner a solid B+. I was hoping for a perfect A, but wasn’t blown away. It’s a good movie. There were several times I had chill bumps over my entire body and the audience seemed to share my feelings. I heard a bunch of screams and I was lucky enough…

Movie Review – Child’s Play
Child’s Play was creepily funny. There was an even mix of horror and humor which kept the pacing at full force. I’m halfway in love with the movie. I liked how they stayed away from the original’s back story. Here it’s no psychotic killer transferred into the doll through voodoo magic. Instead, they use today’s…

Movie Review – The Dead Don’t Die
Dead Don’t Die as super low budget movie is somewhat cute, but nothing really good. Don’t see it in the theaters: its a good one to wait for streaming. Save your theater money now for the better movies. There was one cool idea — zombies are attracted to what interested them most while alive.…

Newie Review – The Reef – Low Budget, Decent, Non Campy Shark Movie
This 2010 Aussie shark film should be fairly simple to review, as nothing much happened besides a lot of open ocean swimming. If you’re frightened easily and don’t like horror, don’t worry: you won’t have much trouble watching The Reef. It’s not that kind of movie. I’m not entirely clear what kind of movie this…

Movie Review – Ma – Octavia Spencer in a Creepy Horror Thriller
—
If Ma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy! Is that how the saying goes? If not, that’s how it played out in this horror-thriller. I just watched Ma, starring the beloved Academy Award-winner Octavia Spencer. This isn’t a scary movie per se, but it is extremely creepy; Octavia, of course, nails the role perfectly. I didn’t…

Movie Review – Brightburn – An Ingenious Anti Superman Film
—
Last night I was thoroughly entertained. Brightburn has something for everyone. There is horror, science fiction, humor, drama, suspense — the list goes on and on. The special effects garnered most of my applause. There were sequences I’ve never seen done before. One scene in particular was a literal jaw dropper. I won’t spoil anything…

Now here he is, decades later, as one of the brightest new directors in Hollywood. Read the full interview at Yahoo.com. Movie…

Movie Review – The Intruder
—
The Intruder was a decent film. The story has been done before and was really predictable, but the performance that Dennis Quaid gave made it enjoyable to watch. He really brought his character to life. That was fun. Basically, this was Cold Creek Manor all over again with Quaid as the bad guy, instead of…

Movie Review – The Curse of La Llorona – A Good Scary Time in the Conjuring Universe
This premier was a happy moment and a sad moment for me. I’ve been anticipating this film for quite some time. The Conjuring Universe is my all-time favorite series of movies. Ever. As a little girl, I read The Amityville Horror, and that is where I first discovered Ed and Lorraine Warren. I’ve followed their…
