Pearl is beautiful, interesting at times, and well acted. But it’s not scary, and fails to make the characters compelling enough to feel high-stakes in the most important moments. Pearl is the prequel to “X”, and they share slasher vibes and a central location. But where X feels exuberant and almost playful, Pearl feels forced […]

I can appreciate movies that don’t pretend to be anything other than what they are. Freaky is one of those movies. What is unusual is it feels like both a good and a bad thing. It’s a parody of Freaky Friday, and when it hits the parody angle hard, it’s hilarious. The problem is that

Minor overall spoilers. Have you ever booked an Airbnb? Have you ever thought “Hey wouldn’t it be scary if I got murdered?” If the answer is yes then oh boy have I got a movie for you. This movie kind of feels like three movies duct-taped together. There’s an initial, somewhat typical build up for

Speak No Evil is a frustrating movie. Our main couple are Americans in Italy on vacation, and they meet a British couple, whom they quickly befriend, they both have one child and the children that also get along well, and eventually the Americans are invited back to the British couple’s house for a weekend. Following

It looks like Hasbro wasn’t done with their Ghostbusters line. The Plasma Series was not as well received as Hasbro would have wanted with them not going back to the well with figures for the latest Frozen Empire movie. But you know how it is, nostalgia sells and X user @Preternia has shown off what

So Kas had seen this one and I hadn’t. Midsommar is a weird cult story that makes me wish my people (white vaguely Scottish/Irish people) had more culture and legend (or at least that I knew our mythology better). At least I have mental illnesses and queerness to enrich my perspective (hooray?). There are a

A masterpiece. A Quiet Place has always been about the intersection between horror stories and stories about humanity and how we connect and communicate. This one does not disappoint. A Quiet Place tells the story of a terminally ill woman trying to make it through New York on, literally, day one of the invasion. She

If you like the original Scream, odds are you’ll like this. An absolute blast from start to finish. A classic who-dun-it with every flair typical to a Scream Movie, including a few directly matching shots. Everything from the plot, to the killers, to the cameos, exactly mirrors Scream as direct commentaries on current horror. The

Immaculate was one of the creepiest so far. The movie successfully balanced a lot of unsettling elements while intentionally refusing to prove something was definitely wrong. Her not knowing the language, the dreary settling, the one girl that didn’t like her for no reason: you know something is wrong with this place, but not what
