Netflix produces a handful of poor-quality films. Day Shift is a welcome exception to the trend. Starring Jamie Foxx as Bud Jablonski, a loving father who works for a group of covert vampire hunters. This is an action comedy, so don’t expect logical decisions or realistic dialogue. The movie is jampacked with ultraviolent fight scenes. It is balanced by the humor between Bud and his partner Seth … Continue reading Day Shift (2022) Review
The story picked up exactly where the last one left off. The director, Bartosz M. Kowalski, retconned the final scene to make this (the sequel) possible. Immediately turned me off. How the hell he thought it was a good idea to ruin the protagonists from the previous film astonished me. In this installment, the mutant cannibalistic twins literally did nothing but sit on their asses. … Continue reading Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight 2 (2021) Review
The trailer for this film reminded me of slashers like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. What separates it from the two is time. The story is set in modern day, which is extremely relevant. There’s Someone Inside Your House is not only a long ass title that should get someone fired in marketing. It is also a commentary of how dangerous … Continue reading There’s Someone Inside Your House (2021) Review
Alex (Winslow Fegley) is a boy that loves to write scary stories. He is obsessed with all things supernatural. However, things get a little too real when he is kidnapped by an evil witch. Unlike traditional fairy tales tropes, Natacha (Krysten Ritter) is a young woman with horrifying powers that border on demonic. She has a thing for snatching up children and turning them into … Continue reading Nightbooks (2021) Review
Netflix really stepped their game up this year. From foreign films to indie horror. His House is a about a married couple that escaped South Sudan to seek refuge in London. It is full of jump scares and suspense. Don’t expect your typical monster movie. This narrative is told from the perspective of not one but two unreliable narrators. The protagonists, Bol (Sope Dirisu) and … Continue reading His House (2020) Review
If you’re a fan of movies like Friday the 13th and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, then this is the perfect film for you. A group of teens are sent to a camp where they aren’t allowed to use any technology. Its is a timely subject with interesting commentary about being addicted to mobile devices. Couple that with some deformed cannibals and you got yourself a party. … Continue reading Nobody Sleeps In The Woods Tonight (2020) Review
We’ve arrived at the conclusion of the Fear Street trilogy on Netflix. I have to say I’m a little disappointed with the conclusion. Fear Street Part 3 is composed of two different stories, as if the director forgot about Part One. Deena reunited the dismembered hand with its body and was sent into a trance. When she came to, she saw life through the eyes … Continue reading Fear Street: Part 3 – 1666 (2021) Review
These FEAR Street movies keep getting better. Comparing the first one, FEAR Street: Part One – 1994, I think 1978 is the superior film. When it comes to originality, there’s much to be desired. It clearly paid homage to the Friday the 13th franchise. However, there’s enough character development and subplots that prevent it from being a complete rip off. The teenagers in this movie … Continue reading Fear Street: Part 2 – 1978 (2021) Review
Amy Adams has been involved with some of my favorite films. From Man of Steel to Arrival. One day I was on YouTube and came across the trailer for this Netflix original. When I saw Gary Oldman was involved, my mind was made up. The title tells you everything you need to know, except for why Anna Fox (Adams) doesn’t go outside. One of the … Continue reading The Woman In The Window (2021) Review
It’s been so long since I read a Fear Street book. When I saw that Netflix was releasing one movie each week, I thought it was a unique marketing approach. R.L. Stine is one of the key contributors to my love for the horror genre. From the awesome cover art to the collectable box sets, I spent most of my childhood reading his works. What … Continue reading Fear Street Part 1: 1992 (2021) Review
