Franchise Marathon No. 6: 28 Days Later (Est. 2002)
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.

Companion (2025)
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

Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (2021)
I think the first movie is a really, really creative concept and I think the rooms in the 2nd movie make that come to full fruition with intricate concepts and puzzles not tailored to the active participants. This made it feel more like an escape room rather than a targeted attack like the first movie can feel when separated from the Minos aspects due to the reason they’re selected being related to their disaster survivals.

Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Although many a horror title has tempted the concept of a society unaware of zombies experiencing the zombie apocalypse, like The Walking Dead universe, Night of the Living Dead is the official first. Duane Jones delivers a strong leading portrayal of Ben, a man who is treated like any other man in the film and rather is judged by his actions or ideas rather than the color of his skin.

The Children (2008)
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...

From the start we jump right into the action, the monster, Larry, seeks to take children and lure them through communicating via en eBook called, “Misunderstood Monsters,” that updates throughout the movie. The story updates are part of the tool that Larry uses to communicate with the children it is grooming to take.

Malignant (2021)
Let me start by saying I left this movie with more questions than answers, confused about what I'd just watched. I laughed more than I cowered and I yelled obscenities at the TV more than once because nothing about it made sense to me. The whole time I felt like the direction of the story was being chosen by a Magic 8 Ball rather than a coordinated effort to craft a horror story about a malignancy.

My one sided beef with modern media
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.
