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 —…

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,…

Movie Review – The Possession of Hannah Grace
—
Hollywood pulled off another movie that actually had me a little bit afraid. I’ll say I was very tense during some scenes. That sure doesn’t happen very often anymore. They did an incredible job of setting the tone of this horror flick. The ambiance was perfect; it kept you on the edge of your seat,…

Movie Review – Overlord
—
Overlord wasn’t bad; it wasn’t great but it definitely wasn’t bad. At moments it bordered on campy, and then would flow back into a shoot ’em up thriller. It reminded me of the video games my husband plays. It has that type of feel, not quite real, but with a storyline you hope ends up…

Movie Review – Suspiria
—
As Suspiria ended, for the first time in my career, I didn’t have a clue as to what I had just seen. Fortunately, there was a very pleasant young man seated near me who helped shed some light on this confusing piece of work. He referred back to the original, telling me that this movie…

Quiz – Stephen King and His Movies
As we get nearer to Halloween, it’s only fitting that I make a Quiz on the “King” of horror. This one addresses Stephen’s movies. [quiz-cat id=”10916″] Stephen King has done more to promote Halloween than even pumpkins and Charlie Brown.

Movie Review – Halloween
What a movie! My long awaited excitement was finally satisfied! This was an event of epic proportions. Picture it: I walk into the theater, and it is sold out. The crowd was rowdy and ready for Michael. People were chanting, “Michael, Michael!” It was awesome. The lights went down and the theater became deathly quiet.…

Movie Review – The Nun
Sit back, relax, and pull off your habit. It’s time for The Nun to have some fun. Seriously, I’ve been waiting for this movie since the day I was born. I felt it in my bones. The Conjuring Universe has consistently been one of the greatest franchises ever put to film. The amount of expectation…

Movie Review – Slender Man
—
Over a year. Seriously, I have been waiting for this movie for over a year now. With the amount of material available on the internet about Slender Man it should have provided the writers and makers of this movie infinite ideas. The final cut was lacking in almost every aspect. It starts off okay. Not…
