A ★★½ review of The Descent: Part 2 (2009)
A completely unneccesary sequel to one of the best horror movies of the aughties. Relies on the soap opera plot point of amnesia to a key character because otherwise there wouldn't be any movie. Fails on every level when compared to the Neil Marshall original. The cave sets look laughably cheap and the once terrifying cave creatures look like swap meet cosplay. Almost in apology, the viewer is bathed in gore. Shauna MacDonald's haunting performance in the original is replaced by a 90's one dimensional action heroine and even by horror movie standards there are implausibilities you can't gloss over.
A ★★★ review of The Bride! (2026)
The Bride has a, I'm sorry, THE BRIDE! has a lot going on in every single frame. If you can forgive the occasional stalls in the narrative and pointed momentum-stopping monologuing you'll have a really fun time. After seeing mopey Jessie Buckley in Net of the Ham, it's blast to see her play to the cheap seats. Christian Bale displays surprising depth under all that makeup. It's not a shock that Bale is great, but he's the only performer that's not amped to an 11 in every frame. If you like movie with titles of female archetypes that end with
A ★★★½ review of Scream VI (2023)
We need more movies where Samara Weaving uses her natural accent. "Fuck Dermot Mulroney."- Dylan McDermott.
A ★★½ review of Whistle (2025)
Marginally entertaining 20somethings-playing-teens horror movie with serviceable kills and a better cast than this movie deserves to keep you mildly invested even though everything is pretty derivative. The comparisons to the Final Destination franchise are warranted. Since there are about 500 of those, think of Whistle as a better than average Final Destination movie. The movie asks you to buy a white guy is the best player on the basketball court if you're wondering how much to suspend your disbelief. Since you're other options are a Kevin James movie and the idiotic The Strangers finale, you might just want to
A ★★★½ review of Send Help (2026)
And that's how Regina George died... -Still need more proof that Dylan O' Brien and Dylan Minette aren't the same person. -Featuring some of the most helpful end credits in movie history. -Dennis Haysbert has a small part as a character named Franklin. I wonder why Sam Raimi decided to cut the scenes with Linus and Peppermint Patty. -Rachel McAdams gives her best onscreen performance in an unapologetic genre piece and after Game Night and Red Eye makes you never want to get on a plane with Rachel McAdams again and now I've got that "Mr. McAdams" song by Lil'
A ★★★★ review of Raw (2016)
Based on the incredible true story. Coming of age cannibal horror is both queasy and touching and the main reason I moved out of France. If you see two French cannibal movies this year, make sure this is one of them. I remember talking with Julia Ducournau after a screening and she gave me a sandwich and it tasted really good. She told me it was one of her production assistants and she was going to hire three extra PAs to eat for Titane.
A ★★★ review of 28 Years Later (2025)
The skulls in the Bone Temple were actual skulls from Ralph Fiennes' backyard. Fiennes took the skulls from the children that visited the set of those Harry Potter movies.
