Castle Rock: “Restore Hope” Review (Spoilers)

In a season that was heavily advertised as featuring Annie Wilkes, we got another episode in which she surprisingly gets barely any screen time.  However, what we get instead is an incredibly compelling revelation between Nadia and Pop that’s both compelling and shocking! (Spoilers Ahead: You’ve Been Warned!!!) Sins of the Past The episode opens with a flashback to war-torn Somalia in 1993.  Abdi and … Continue reading Castle Rock: “Restore Hope” Review (Spoilers)

“Countdown” – Movie Review

They say that death and taxes are the only things from which we cannot escape.  However, one could commit tax evasion by not paying them, so ultimately, death is the only inevitable force in the universe. But would knowing the exact date and time change our perspective?  It’s a truly fascinating and thought-provoking concept, one that Countdown attempts to explore, but unfortunately fails miserably at.  … Continue reading “Countdown” – Movie Review

Could The Grudge (2020) Be the Start of a New Horror Movie Universe?

Earlier today, Sony dropped its first trailer for the upcoming Grudge reboot, due out in January 2020.  And while the trailer does reek of generic “PG-13” horror (despite the film’s actual “R” rating), it has some very larger implications that make it more than any typical horror remake.  Between its unique setting, and connection to the other films, it could very well be the beginning … Continue reading Could The Grudge (2020) Be the Start of a New Horror Movie Universe?

“The Lighthouse” – Movie Review

What happens when you leave two sailors stranded on lighthouse duty for months, all while bad weather and isolation sets in?  The answer is madness! Following up the horror masterpiece that was The VVitch, Robert Eggers returned with another tale of insurmountable tension.  Not only does it live up to the critical  hype in terms of story and theme, but as a technical piece of … Continue reading “The Lighthouse” – Movie Review

Creepshow Review – “Night of the Paw”/”Times is Tough in Musky Holler” (Spoilers)

As Shudder continues to delight horror fans with its series of short horror stories, we got our first pair of tales that don’t quite hold up to the rest.  They’re not by any means bad, just not quite as compelling as we’re used to from the previous four episodes.  Read our analysis and you be the judge! “Night of the Paw” – Directed by John … Continue reading Creepshow Review – “Night of the Paw”/”Times is Tough in Musky Holler” (Spoilers)

AHS 1984: “Episode 100” Review (Spoilers)

In many ways, last week’s “Red Dawn” episode felt like it could have been the ending to this short miniseries.  It brought about the end of a 5 episode sequence almost told in real time as we saw our cast of counselors fighting off two serial killers, along with a few betraying psychopaths in their own midst. Not only does this episode mark AHS’s 100th, … Continue reading AHS 1984: “Episode 100” Review (Spoilers)

Castle Rock: “Let The River Run”, “New Jerusalem”, “Ties That Bind” Review (Spoilers)

After a mysterious, compelling, and even trippy first season, Hulu brought us back into the Stephen King shared universe this week with another season premiere of Castle Rock.  While the first season had a few characters and references from King’s novels, the bulk of the main characters were original to the series. However this time, it seems that our main character is one of King’s … Continue reading Castle Rock: “Let The River Run”, “New Jerusalem”, “Ties That Bind” Review (Spoilers)

The Simpsons: “Treehouse of Horror XXX” Review

For the past 30 years, we’ve been able to count on The Simpsons to deliver spooky satire at Halloween.  Their “Treehouse of Horror” series is one of the longest continuously running annual traditions that still remains. Given that this episode also happened to be their 666th, it was cause for extra celebration.  Does it fall victim to what many consider to be the overall decline … Continue reading The Simpsons: “Treehouse of Horror XXX” Review
