Love Hurts

Love Scars In This Great Thriller (Spoilers)

Strange Darling is a new thriller about the Demon (Kyle Gallner) chasing the Lady (Willa Fitzgerald). I really shouldn’t go into further details about the plot beyond that, so instead, I’ll say that it’s a well-written film that looks gorgeous with the great performances by the two leads. It’s a film that I would recommend watching if you can find it, given its limited release.

Hate the Game

Not as good as I hoped, but still fun (Spoilers)

Feeling that his family is drifting apart, Roy Keenan (Charles Edwin Powell) decides to go on a vacation with his wife Elaine (Danielle Harris) and their two kids, Taylor (Sydney Malak) and Kevin (Wesley Holloway). Unfortunately for the Keenan family, they picked a hell of a time and place to do so, as their hotel gets turned into the hunting ground of four sadistic killers playing a game where “blood on the ground means points on the board.”

Alien 1½

Not perfect, but a worthy sequel (Spoilers)

Rain Carradine (Cailee Spaeny) is a Weyland-Yutani employee who lives and works on Jackson Star, a space rock with no sunlight. One day, Rain discovers that even though her contract should be up, it’s been extended. Oh, man. While the Company has always treated its workers horribly, slavery with extra steps is a new one. This bit of d*****y is what sets Rain on a path to coming face-to-face with everybody’s favorite xenomorph.

March of the Slasher

A nice twist on an old formula (Spoilers)

Johnny (Ry Barrett) is an undead slasher awakened from his slumber after a camper foolishly steals his mother’s locket. After digging himself out of his grave, Johnny goes on a quest to get it back. It’s a journey that involves walking, murder, walking, eavesdropping, and more walking. There’s so much walking since the hook of In A Violent Nature is that it’s a slasher movie told from the killer’s perspective. So, we get to see how tedious it would be to get around without teleporting offscreen.

Like a Prayer

A lot of fun, but a little shallow (Spoilers)

After many years of uncertainty, Ryan Reynolds is back as Wade Wilson/Deadpool, and the character has found a new thing to obsess over. In the last movie, it was whether or not his heart was in the right place. In this threequel, it’s about becoming something important. Thinking he’s not, Wad becomes depressed, which causes him to hang up the costume, get a dead-end job, and break up with Vanessa (Morena Baccarin).

The team consists of leader “Frank” (Dan Stevens), medic “Joey” (Melissa Barrera), hacker “Sammy” (Kathryn Newton), wheelman “Dean” (Angus Cloud), enforcer “Peter” (Kevin Durand), and sniper “Rickles” (Will Catlett). They’re all supposed to spend the night in this awesome but rundown-looking house, but quickly realize they’re in over their heads.

Funhouse Mirror Life

But not all the clowns are her (Spoilers)

Bowie Davidson (Jenna Kanell) is an actor who made a name for herself in the horror community starring in a killer clown movie. However, she’s failed to find wider success, is still living paycheck to paycheck, finds the convention circuit demeaning, and is constantly harassed by fans online. Besides that, the people around her are finding more success and she’s a queer woman living in a world slowly imploding due to social ills.

K.P.A.

A good, but not great reboot (Spoilers)

Many generations after the last movie, Noa (Owen Teague) is a young ape and member of the Eagle Clan. One day, invaders destroys his village while and enslave his people. Noa sets out to rescue them and becomes acquainted with Mae (Freya Allan), a young human woman pursuing her own agenda. The two of them have a mutual enemy in common.

The First Ave Satani

A good, but not great prequel (Spoilers)

Margaret Daino (Nell Tiger Free) is a novice who’s arrived in Rome to take the veil and work at Vizzardeli Orphanage. While there, she meets many different men and women of the cloth. There’s Cardinal Lawrence (Bill Nighy), who’s been like a father figure to Margaret. Luz (Maria Caballero), Margaret’s roommate, who takes her out clubbing while they still can. Sister Angelica (Ishtar Currie-Wilson), who’s f*****g creepy. And Father Brennan (Ralph Ineson), who warns her of a dark conspiracy.

Remember Her

A movie you should “witness” (Spoilers)

In 2015, writer/director George Miller returned to the world of Mad Max thirty years after the last film. Entitled Mad Max: Fury Road, Tom Hardy replaced Mel Gibson in the role of Max Rockatansky. However, the character who really caught people’s attention was Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron). Now, nine years after Fury Road, we’ve got her origin story in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
