Speak No Evil, 2024 – ★★

The film strayed too far from the original source material, which took away much of the chilling impact the story once had. Its deviations left it feeling less effective and less engaging than it could have been.

Strange Darling, 2023 – ★★★★

This film is a breath of fresh air, offering a thrilling and unique experience. The story is anchored by two outstanding performances that keep you fully engaged from start to finish.

China O'Brien, 1990 – ★★★

While it may not be groundbreaking, this movie is perfect for a fun group watch, with plenty of action and cheesy moments to enjoy together.

Doomsday, 2008 – ★★★★

Even after all these years, this film holds up remarkably well, offering a thrilling experience. With a little something for every genre fan, it’s a wild ride that remains as entertaining as ever.

Blood Creek, 2009 – ★★

It’s a treat to watch Cavill and Fassbender in some of their early roles, but the movie’s plot doesn’t quite live up to their talent. Despite the strong cast, the story falls short of delivering a memorable experience.

Children of the Corn, 1984 – ★★

It’s hard to believe that this largely uneventful film managed to spawn over 10 sequels. The premise is thin, and there’s not much here to warrant such a long-lasting franchise.

Subservience, 2024 – ★★★

This film ended up being a lot more fun than I expected, surpassing its initial premise. It strikes the right balance between entertainment and absurdity, making for an unexpectedly enjoyable watch.

The Second Act, 2024 – ★★★

Dupieux delivers another mind-bending film, but the story doesn’t quite match the brilliance of the technically impressive tracking shots. While visually captivating, the narrative feels lacking in comparison.

Blink Twice, 2024 – ★★★

The performances were solid, but the film took its time getting to the main point, making it feel a bit drawn out. A quicker pace could have made the story more engaging overall.

An Unquiet Grave, 2020 – ★

This film is yet another pandemic production that would have been more effective as a short, rather than stretching its thin plot to fill 90 minutes. The limited storyline struggles to maintain interest over the extended runtime.

Shortwave, 2016 – ★★

The movie left me feeling confused, as it never fully explained what was happening. Its ambiguity made it difficult to stay engaged with the story.

Uninhabited, 2010 – ★★

There’s not much substance beneath the surface. Its slow pace and lack of activity make it hard to stay invested despite the beautiful scenery.

Faceless After Dark, 2023 – ★★

The film had an interesting concept but never quite reached its full potential, leaving me wanting more. While it had moments of promise, it ultimately fell short of delivering a satisfying experience.
