Scream
As a rather young movie reviewer, only 19, I'm trying to catch up on tons of franchises right now. Months before this film came out, I put the whole franchise on hold at the library to try and catch up, yet, alas, I could only get my hands
Cold Storage
Cold Storage was one of my most anticipated films of February and, by extension, the year at large. A new horror project starring one of my favorite actors, Joe Keery, along with Liam Neeson and Georgina Campbell? Sign me the Jecht up. I was there opening night, thoroughly excited for
28 Days Later
After a rather divisive trilogy starter and the rather disliked 28 Weeks Later, The Bone Temple took the world by storm with rave reviews. As somebody who enjoyed the first 28 Years Later film, seeing that this film had even better reviews was quite exciting! While I often have some
28 Days Later
I'm known for having a multitude of ridiculously controversial movie opinions, especially when it pertains to franchises. And, wouldn't you know it, many fans say 28 Years Later is the worst film in its respective franchise, and here I am thinking it was my favorite from
Dracula
I've never been all that interested in vampires, but my goal for 2026 is to watch every new release, so I went to check out this new adaptation of Dracula! And after watching the film, it was not at all what I expected. This wasn't some
Whistle
While it was certainly an odd choice for Whistle to be the final screening at many film festivals, I was more excited for this film than many and enjoyed its placement. While "teens get a doodad that's about to kill them" is almost its own subgenre
Iron Lung
Iron Lung may just be the most faithful and lovingly crafted video game adaptation that has ever been brought to the silver screen. Every little detail of the film shows Markiplier's deep desire to create something that fully honors the game and its creative vision. However, is the
The Housemaid
I wasn't able to check out The Housemaid around when it came out, but it was a film I was excited for because of the glowing reviews from some of my favorite film critics, particularly Sean Chandler and Cody Leach. Yet, I simply couldn't find a
Send Help
Spoilers ahead for Send Help! I will admit I didn't enjoy the trailer for this film at all. It didn't really sell me on this film being all that great, and I was mostly just going off my borrowed trust for Sam Raimi. And thank heavens
The Shining
I finally built up the courage to watch this film—not because it's scary, but because film snobbery is a very valid fear of mine, and I didn't quite think it would be up my alley based on my prior studies of the film. Of course,
Wait Until Dark
I've watched a lot of horror films. Yet, even with almost no gore or jump scares, Wait Until Dark is still one of the most terrifying films I've ever watched—it's simply that great at building suspense. Very few films can capture fear in
The Village
When The Village came out in 2004, a lot of people started to doubt M. Night's ability to direct a film because, well, they didn't like The Village for whatever reason. After the widespread success of The Sixth Sense and Signs, expectations for the film were
