Welcome to my weird world!
I was completely prepared to give this movie any grade possible, because not only did I feel the same way when pondering my grade for the first Don't Breathe, but the fact this was going to present one of the most hated villains of modern times as a turnaround protagonist made this movie so easy...

M. Night Shyamalan has a reputation for oddball spiritual sci-fi horror, and this movie is plastered with what he's known for. A Philly family takes a vacation down to Anamina Resorts (which doesn't exist, unsurprisingly. No resort company would ever agree to have this sort of film include their name). There's the father, Guy (Gael... Continue Reading →
Well, isn't this a surprise for me. Truth is, out of all the Purge films, the only other one I've seen is The Purge: Election Year, and I gave that one a C-. I did enjoy its story conflicts of the best way to win an election, I appreciated the plot involving the possibility of... Continue Reading →
Since the trailer for the sequel was recently uploaded (and I was wondering when it would arrive for a long time; I don't think trailers for big movies normally show up only one month before premiering) I thought I would bring my thoughts on the original, a horror film that's really stuck with me, for...

I beg that you see the first Quiet Place before this movie if you haven't already, which is the logical thing to do, after all. The only thing stupider would be a mariachi band in the middle of the emergency shutdown these characters are enduring, that's about 50 times worse than ours. The first Quiet... Continue Reading →
Second-chance movies are suspenseful. Although I’m aware he has an arsenal of movies he has directed, including a different zombie one, this is only the second movie I’ve seen from director Zack Snyder. I watched his Batman v. Superman blockbuster back in 2016, with high expectations from its ad campaign, and even if I wasn’t... Continue Reading →
This book convinced me I should one day return to this duology, and see the first one anew, which I gave a rather unfavourable review of. I said it was a jump-scare book that wasn't set up to truly scare, and by the time it actually got to the good stuff, I was more relieved... Continue Reading →
Maybe books weren’t made to replicate the screenplays for horror movies. I now know Laurie Faria Stolarz has written a ton of other horror stories, but I guess this one is proof that it’s harder than you think to make a jump-scare book. The book grabbed my interest though when I read it a while... Continue Reading →
I hope this gets a sequel. I've seen some of Paul W. S. Anderson's work, and some of it is rocky. I was a fan of the Resident Evil movies. The last one, even though it retconned quite a bit, was a wonderfully satisfying burst of entertainment and surprising melancholiness. I can see Paul's style... Continue Reading →
The more horror movies you see, the more you get numbed to them and demand better. Actually, as I was typing that, I realized that's the same for all types of movies, but with horror it's especially true. You watch some classic terror productions to get creeped out, you watch some new ones to get... Continue Reading →
