A ★★★½ review of Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026)

Not quite the beat-by-beat redux of the first Ready or Not, but comes pretty close. Samara Weaving and Kathryn Newton play well off each other despite their backstory feeling forced. Elijah Wood looks like he's having a lot of fun force feeding the audience necessary exposition. Radio Silence handles these scenes as well as you can as the info dumps rarely feel droning or tedious. If you're a fan of the first movie (I am) you don't mind seeing things retread as everything is bigger and bloodier. Set pieces are more elaborate, though you intuit the diminishing returns and miss

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.

#Watching UNDERTONE

The biggest shock in this movie is that you kind of feel sorry for podcasters...

A(mbiguity)24 drops microbudget horror that forces you to listen.

A ★★★½ review of undertone (2025)

The biggest shock in this movie is that you kind of feel sorry for podcasters... A(mbiguity)24 drops microbudget horror that forces you to listen. You spend most of this bottle horror movie silent like you were in A Quiet Place because you don't want to miss hearing anything. The much-maligned ending works on its own terms even if it's a case of the setup being more exciting than the eventual payoff. You'll never hear children's songs in the same way again. And never look at children the same way again because they are frightening. If you're into cheap jump scares

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.

Carlowrie Castle, built in the Scottish Baronial style,1852. Kirkliston, Scotland.. is this not the perfect horror movie castle? #HorrorFamily 🖤💋

#Watching CREEPSHOW 2

There is no more terrifying moment in film history than Ed Harris doing those super white dance moves from Creepshow 1. You can expect nothing on that level of dread from Creepshow 2.

#Watching WHISTLE

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.

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

#Watching SEND HELP

And that's how Regina George died...

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.

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'
