Warning: You should watch Sleepaway Camp before reading this review because I will be spoiling the infamous twist ending.
Kris Williams (Hannah Einbinder) is a “wunderkind” filmmaker who’s hired to reboot Camp Miasma, a once-popular slasher franchise. To that end, Kris seeks out Billy Presley (Gillian Anderson), who played the final girl in the first Camp Miasma before becoming a recluse. And get this, Billy lives at the isolated camp where they shot the film. If that’s not the perfect set-up for a horror movie, I don’t know what is.

Odysseus (Matt Damon), king of Ithaca, is a man strong of both mind and body. The latter is demonstrated when he’s the only person who can string his bow. The former is shown when he comes up with the idea of getting through the gates of Troy by using a wooden horse, though you probably already know that and several other parts of this review, since this is a very old and famous story that’s required reading for a lot of schools.

David Wasson (David Rysdahl) is a programmer whose wife has recently died. His company, Canta Robotics, has been acquired by Ultima Robotix as part of a clear monopoly. Ultima offers an AI chatbot for lonely people and plans to take it to the next level by rolling out companion robots called SOULM8TEs.

Supergirl is loosely based on Tom King and Bliquis Evely’s beloved miniseries, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. It starts with Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl (Milly Alcock) having a birthday bender under a depowering red sun. While partying, Kara meets Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley), who is on a revenge quest against Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts). Kara is initially uninterested, until Krem hurts her dog, Krypto. Big mistake.

Evil Dead Burn is about a woman named Alice Price (Souheila Yacoub), whose husband Will (George Pullar) has just died. After his funeral, Alice spends some time at the Price family lake house, which is then invaded by Deadites. Much like Evil Dead Rise, and Evil Dead (2013) to a lesser extent, the sixth installment in the franchise grounds its horror in a family drama.

We’ve reached season two of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It starts several traditions, like having the season premiere begin in a cemetery or having a Halloween episode during even-numbered seasons. Before we get started, I would like to acknowledge the fact that this has been a very bad two years for Buffy fans, in the wake of the death of multiple main cast members and the reboot’s cancellation. The former has certainly made the show harder to rewatch.

This latest installment of the Toy Story franchise is about how technology impacts today’s children. As the new sheriff in town, Jessie (Joan Cusack) has become the leader of Bonnie Anderson (Scarlett Spears)’s toys. Her latest challenge comes when Bonnie’s parents buy their daughter a tablet named LilyPad (Greta Lee), or Lily for short.

When building my birthday list back in March, I was trying to think of activities to do when I remembered Living Dead Weekend, a convention celebrating the works of George A. Romero that’s set within Monroeville Mall. That’s the same mall where they shot Dawn of the Dead (1978), a horror film and strong critique of consumerism. The mall was purchased by Walmart back in 2025, who plan on demolishing it. That might be the very definition of irony.

Dawn of the Dead (1978) begins a few weeks into the zombie uprising and charts the gradual collapse of society through the eyes of four people who choose to hold up in a shopping mall. Francine aka Fran (Gaylen Ross), a TV technician at a news station. Stephen, aka Flyboy (David Emgee), a traffic reporter. And two SWAT members, Roger (Scott H. Reiniger) and Peter (Ken Foree), who don’t have nicknames.
