The decision to make the most recent installment of Hell House LLC, titled Lineage, a regular movie rather than a found footage movie raised doubts and questions from initial announcement. Unfortunately I spent the night of August 20th confused what I was even watching. Very few times in my life have myself or my husband decided that a movie wasn't worth sitting in the theater to complete it and instead left but this is one of those time, I walked out about 40 minutes into th

In this post I argue the thesis: the audience driven success of Get Out (2017) encouraged more money invested in making black horror. This investment resulted in more black voices successfully telling black stories through the genre which helped push the genre forward while validating unspoken pains experienced by many in the community and generating large return on investments.

With a particular focus on the human aspects of the scenario the franchise and particularly Danny Boyle, the first and newest film's director, wanted to portray infected humans rather than undead zombies, arguably a less often utilized approach to the subgenre. According to various interviews Boyle has had leading up to the June 20, 2025 release of 28 Years Later he has made it clear that the purpose is humanity.

This list of movies coming out in 2025 was initially posted June 7th, 2025 and I plan to update it occasionally as more movies come out, are announced, and/or if I have a post-watch review. Not all movies will be reviewed because there are over 96 including the ones discluded. Reviews will also be brief and to the point that don't reveal too much and are spoiler-free. Titles link to Wikipedia, Rotten Tomatoes, or IMDb pages which contain background information and information

The story woven through the first 3 Fear Street movies made up for some questionable character death choices but the newest installment, Fear Street: Prom Queen doesn’t make up for the same sorts of decisions with a in depth narrative. The story is told in a clunky way that can lead to confusion about character motivations and involvement. This Fear Street is like trying to make gooey sugar cookies but pulling them out just a tad too soon, still edible but a bit more raw than

Directed by James Wong and written by Glen Morgan and James Wong the 3rd installment of Final Destination follows a similar formula to the first 2 films. In the review of the first film I went over the first film which was inspired by Jeffrey Reddick’s spooky experience while traveling. Jump to the third film however and we are following a completely disconnected group of high schoolers, seemingly random as far as the franchise is concerned.

I found the beginning and end of Until Dawn really engaging and fun to watch. I liked learning about the characters, their thoughts and feelings, and wanted them to succeed at the end. That being said I did like the outcome and found the call backs to other scenes good nods and finishing moments to top the film off. I don't want to spoil too much about this movie because I think it feeling clever came from me not knowing too much going into it.

There are parallels throughout between expectations for a robot and expectations for a girlfriend, often times the concepts being interchangeable when discussed amongst the characters. Even the lead up to the plot introducing Iris as a robot seems wildly normal as far as what we expect to see in romantic comedies. Despite us following Iris' POV we don’t question off-rip why we only see Iris in any context outside of Josh and her relationship with Josh, she doesn’t have a worl

Regardless if you partake in 420 or April 20th festivities or not, it happens to be on Sunday this year and upcoming weekends provide an opportunity to rest and recharge. Personally my rest and recharge includes horror movies, in particular new movies I haven't watched yet. This year I watched 2 international movies from 2024 on Shudder: Grafted and MadS.
