Did Jordan Peele Play Fair? Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed On Your First Viewing of Us
Jordan Peele made a splash with the satiric horror film Get Out and even won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. His new movie Us proves he’s not just a one-hit wonder, but a visionary filmmaker who will keep surprising, delighting, and frightening us for years to come. (He’s already in talks to do a…

Movie Review – Pet Sematary – A Worthy Adaptation
The newest adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, Pet Sematary, was a solid remake. Thirty years after the original release, the makers attempted to revive their cult classic film. That’s a huge undertaking, and an enormous gamble, considering the die-hard fans of the original. To please or not to please — that is the question. They…

19 Entry-Level Horror Movies for the Squeamish
Horror movies aren’t for everyone. But sometimes a film will come around that everyone can enjoy, even if you’re a little (or a lot) nervous about seeing it. To sum: if you found you could handle the scarier episodes of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and The X-Files, you’ll be okay with my suggestions below. It’s…

Clever Moments You Might Have Missed Watching The Horror-Thriller Movie Us
—
We all know watching a horror movie comes with the expectation you’ll be screaming, and anticipating moments that you’ll be startled. This oftentimes leads to you missing an important yet subtle symbol or scene. I loved Director Jordan Peele’s debut horror film Us, and found a lot of interesting and super-clever tidbits that make everything…

Movie Review – Us – Tons of Symbolism, Creepy, and a Great Time at the Movies
—
I’m by no means a lover of horror movies anymore, but when Jordan Peele writes one, you can’t help but wonder what it will be like. His freshman movie, Get Out, was creepy enough to motivate me to see more from him. Us didn’t let me down. It’s a little hard to write specifics about…

Movie Review – Greta – Less Teeth, Still A Good Bite
—
Greta didn’t have the teeth of some more memorable thrillers, such as A Quiet Place or Get Out, but it did have a good bite. The first half of the movie was loaded with dramatic exposition, and the last half was the payoff, giving us one heck of a quirky ending. I loved it! I…

Movie Review – Happy Death Day 2U – Still Fun, but more Sci-Fi than Horror
It’s interesting to watch a sequel film that genre-hoppingly morphs from one thing to another. I’m not a horror fan, but genuinely loved Happy Death Day 1, probably because it had an emphasis on comedy, and the actual scares were light. It was creepy still, with the “uncanny valley” baby mask — shudders —…

In Da Club by 50 Cent – Video & Lyrics from the Happy Death Day 2U Trailer
Happy Death Day is the most funny and outright cute horror film I’ve ever seen. It’s not scary at all (although the school mascot baby mask is genuinely hideous to behold.) I can’t believe I waited this long to watch it the first time. I wanted to get caught up on my Groundhog Day themed…

Movie Review – The Prodigy – No Chemistry, No Creativity
The Prodigy was really disappointing. I’ve seen better movies at Billy Bob’s Drive-In Theater. This is another movie that did a wonderful job of making the trailer look too good to pass up. They got me hook, line and sinker. I was really excited waiting for the movie, then it started. Ten minutes into it,…

Happy Death Day – Every “Day” We Watch, and Rewatch (Spoilers)
In the movie Happy Death Day, Tree is murdered on her birthday. Instead of dying, she wakes up and has to relive the day all over again. Tree relives the same day (and gets murdered) seventeen times. (We only see eleven of the murders because a montage is used to compress time. We only get…
