…Die if I want to, die if I want to

What? It’s a catchy song. (Unmarked Spoilers)

Slumber Party Massacre, directed by Danishka Esterhazy and written by Suzanne Keilly, follows in the tracks of Evil Dead and Fast & Furious where it’s a sequel and/or remake that retains the original title, just without the ‘The.’ It follows Dana (Hannah Gonera), who’s decided to go on a special girls weekend with her girlfriends, Maeve (Frances Sholto-Douglas), Breanie (Alex McGregor), and Ashley (Reze-Tiana Wessels).

Tales from the Mortuary

The even-numbered segments are the best. (Unmarked Spoilers)

That which does not kill us

Why am I watching all these non-horror movies? (Unmarked Spoilers)

This sorta sequel to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) is an adaptation of Det som inte dödar oss or The Girl in the Spider’s Web by David Lagercrantz. It is the fourth novel in the Millennium series. Yes, we’ve now gone from the first to the fourth. Funnily enough, certain lines imply that at least some of the second and third books happened in this universe.

Woke up this morning

You should play that while you read this. (Unmarked Spoilers)

The Many Saints of Newark is a prequel to The Sopranos, one of the greatest shows of all time.

Such as with his new stepmom Guiseppina Bruno (Michela de Rossi), an employee turned rival Harold McBrayer (Leslie Odom Jr.), and of course, his nephew Tony Soprano (Michael Gandolfini, William Ludwig).

Time enough for life

I bet you didn’t see that one coming. (Massive Unmarked Spoilers)

When we last left off, James Bond (Daniel Craig) has decided to retire from his spy work to spend his days with his second love, Madeline Swann (Léa Seydoux).

Cancerous

Hello old friend. (Massive Spoilers Unmarked)

Malignant was advertised as a new vision of terror from James Wan. He first burst onto the scene as the director of Saw before moving on to several better movies like The Conjuring, Insidious, and Aquaman.

One is the loneliest number

Except two’s not as bad as one. Two’s better than one. (Unmarked Spoiler)

Venom: Let There Be Carnage sees Tom Hardy reprise his roles as Eddie Brock and his alien symbiote Venom. What’s impressive is that Hardy manages to sound even more over the top as Venom than he did in the last movie. Woody Harrelson also reprises his role of every single character he’s played since Natural Born Killers. Though not exactly distinct from his other movies, Harrelson does still turn in a good performance.

Ain’t we got fun

The movie’s precisely what the title implies. (Unmarked Spoilers)
