I Only Have Eyes For You
It’s nothing new, but well done (Massive Spoilers) Iris (Sophia Thatcher) visits a remote lake house alongside her boyfriend, Josh (Jack Quaid). The home belongs to Sergey (Rupert Friend), who is one tracksuit away from being a total Russian stereotype. Other people at the lake house are Sergey’s mistress, Kat (Megan Suri), and another couple, …
The Not-a-Wolf Man
Not a big W, but not a L either (Spoilers) Blake Lovell (Christopher Abbott) is a man whose writing career has stalled, leading to his current occupation as a stay-at-home dad. After his own father, Grady (Sam Jaeger), is finally declared dead after disappearing, Blake decides to take his family up to his old house. …
Symphony of Horror
A remake with bite (Spoilers) Nosferatu – Eine Symphonie des Grauens was a 1922 film and unofficial adaptation of Dracula by Bram Stoker. Writer/director Robert Eggers has been trying to remake it for almost a decade. That is not a hyperbole. Development on Nosferatu (2024) began in 2015. It was initially the follow-up to Eggers’ …
Defying Gravity
A wonderful adaptation (Spoilers) I’m late to the party, but I’ve finally seen the film adaptation of a musical I love, kind of. It’s just Act One. Anyway, much like the novel and stage show it’s based on, Wicked: Part 1 tells the tale of the Wicked Witch of the West (Cynthia Erivo, Karis Musongole). …

Working the baggage-scanning area during a Christmas Eve shift, Ethan starts getting orders from a mysterious traveler, …
A Family Movie
A funny thriller that’s well done (Spoilers) We’ve got another really spoilery review on our hands, so, as usual, let me start with my conclusion. I would highly recommend watching Lowlifes. The cast’s performances were great, as was the way the movie keeps you guessing. And the best part is that since it’s a Tubi …
Halloween IIs
Both are good follow-ups (Spoilers) Halloween II (1981) occurs on the same night as the previous film. Halloween II (2009) initially seems like it’s going to follow the same path, but after a lengthy bait-and-switch nightmare sequence, it picks up two years later. For clarity, I’ve reviewed the theatrical cut of ’81, but the director’s …
A Quiet Rapture
A Nice, Near Silent Horror (Spoilers) Azrael takes place in one of those apocalyptic worlds where gasoline has a much longer shelf life than in reality because the characters can still drive “Many years after the Rapture.” The title character (Samara Weaving) is a young woman on the run from her former congregation – a …
Sanguis et Mel
A noticeable improvement (Spoilers) A slasher movie that earned a lot of buzz last year was Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey. It kicked off a new phase of turning beloved children’s characters and turning them into slasher villains, typically after they’ve entered the public domain. Despite abysmal reviews, it grossed a lot of money and created …
