I feel like I have been waiting 100 years for this film to come out. I remember seeing a trailer for Antlers in early 2020 and being so excited about the film because I find Wendigo’s to be particularly horrifying. Then, as we all know by now, the Covid-19 Pandemic hit (and still continues to hit will we ever be out of this hell dear god) … Continue reading Antlers (2021)
Writer/Director J Blakeson had a vision with this film and, damnit, if he didn’t nail it. I Care A Lot stars Rosamund Pike as Marla Grayson, a grifting legal guardian whose con is now in jeopardy, as she’s taken advantage of the wrong person. Along with Pike, I Care A Lot also stars Peter Dinklage as Roman Lunyov, Eiza Gonzalez as Fran, Dianne Wiest as Jennifer Peterson, and … Continue reading I Care A Lot. (2021)
So, we’ve definitely all been sleeping on the film Greta (2019). I remember seeing the trailer for this film and thinking that I wanted to see it. When it was released in theaters, well, I guess I just never really got around to going. Honestly, I wish I had seen this film for the first time in a theater full of people, just for the … Continue reading Greta (2019)
Universal deciding to scrap their “Dark Universe” idea and stick to individual storytelling may be one of the smartest moves they have made in a long time. To kick this plan off with an updated version of one of their classic, but not necessarily big-named, movie monsters was clever. The film overall was good. It was suspenseful and tense right from the first scene, and … Continue reading The Invisible Man (2020): A Classic Movie Monster Preying on Modern Fears
A wheelchair-bound photographer spies on his neighbors from his apartment window and becomes convinced one of them has committed murder. Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window is the mother of all suspense films, in my opinion. It has everything you could ever need in a suspense film. It has drama, murder, and great chemistry between the two leads. Rear Window stars Jimmy Stewart as wheelchair bound photographer … Continue reading 48. Rear Window (1954)
I have never reviewed 47 Meters Down on this site, so let me briefly tell you what I think of that film. 47 Meters Down is a shark film filled with inaccuracies (as most shark movies are), but I will watch it anytime it is streaming. So, it comes as no surprise that I went to see the “sequel” 47 Meters Down: Uncaged in theaters. I gave them … Continue reading 47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019)
I keep watching Netflix original and distributed films after they get a lot of praise. And, nearly every time, after watching said film, I wonder why it got so much praise (looking at you Birdbox.) This film is no different. I have been seeing good reviews about The Perfection for about a week or so now. It has been on my suggested list on Netflix since it … Continue reading The Perfection (2019)
A hapless New York City advertising executive is mistaken for a government agent by a group of foreign spies and is pursued across the country while he looks for a way to survive. Do you enjoy dialogue heavy Hitchcock films? Because, if you do, this one’s for you. I wouldn’t necessarily say that I love this film, but I am fond of it. Honestly, this … Continue reading 55. North by Northwest (1959)
I feel like I must have been watching a different film from everybody else because the film that I watched had terrible pacing, lack of suspense, characters used as nothing more than plot devices, and a story that took itself too seriously for how poorly it was executed. The biggest complaint that I have is that Bird Box had no idea what kind of horror/thriller … Continue reading Bird Box (2018) Review: What Film Were You All Watching?
If I had to describe the film Hereditary in two words it would be slow burning. This film was a lot to take in. It was heartbreaking and absolutely disturbing. It was scary but not in the traditional jump scare way. It’s scary in that it’s one that you think about long after it’s over, and the more you think about it, the scarier and … Continue reading Slow Burning Horror: Hereditary (2018)
