The movie opens on a quiet winter night, the ice beginning to melt indicating it is the tail end of winter when the snow goes between slush and frozen throughout the day. The quiet is interrupted by a car coming down an isolated road through the forest setting, loud inside with what is a family. Casey, played by Hannah Tointon, is a teenager and one of the main protagonists throughout the film who is the first character revealed in the film...

When it comes to Better Watch Out, the 2016 Christmas film directed by Chris Peckover, I didn’t plan on being fully engaged when we put this movie on. It was more of a random choice from a list of holiday movies but I was pleasantly surprised how engaging the seemingly obvious plot becomes. I went in assuming Better Watch Out would be a typical babysitter horror film but sooner than I anticipated this anticipation was met with an outcome I didn't quite predict.

Though the horror genre isn’t typically associated with Christmas I feel there are inherently sinister elements of the season that fit perfectly with horror. I'm a huge fan of both horror and Christmas and right after Halloween passes I look forward the holiday season with a mixture of Christmas-themed horror mixed in. Though the 3 Black Christmas movies aren't considered a series or franchise at least one of the 3 renditions typically makes any Christmas horror list.

For this Thanksgiving holiday I decided to rewatch a movie that takes place over Thanksgiving break at a college, Kristy (2014), rather than a Thanksgiving themed movie.

Kristy focuses on a college girl who stays on campus over Thanksgiving break and then is hunted down by a cult targeting what they consider “Kristy”

The beef is more of a general issue with modern media but nonetheless still a problem and that problem, to put it simply is: the endings don’t make sense anymore. We all remember the final season of Game of Thrones. Eight seasons of beautiful character and world building culminated in a final battle viewers couldn't see and bizarre endings for the most beloved characters. The predictions, hopes, and insights went unanswered and a desire to rewrite history.
