The Mummy (2026)

Child is kidnapped in foreign country and resuscitates as a mummy 8 years later. How does a family that is established deal with that kind of return? Half and half. The showdowns were based on cliches but the child astounded and the staff was on it. The visuals were full of creativity and hauntings. I keep remembering them. I was curious, spooked and entertained. 08-Jul-2026
Pillion (2025)

Subservience in a relationship obtains power by letting another decide one's fate in it. A master's strength is holding a position that intimidates without absorbing the frailties that can make a heart break. Love is the rarity that dissolves that type of union. The film pensively explores two men defying normality and denying the truth. Mama sheds light, the mannequin delivers and the son wakes up to a fitting end. 26-Jun-2026
The Nightmare Upstairs: Ty & Bryn (2026)

Parental battle ensues when dad sticks his finger where he wasn't supposed to during a co-parenting visit. Mother battles with betrayal but the daughter was very explicit. Brother cries "me too" and daddy visits become a chore. Overreactions are stirred and trust in a family generation is lost. The professionals made it worse by not creating a solid program. Rulings had the children partaking in daddy visits that the kids vehemently refused. The kids become scared and decide to barricade themselves in the elder's bedroom. When the mother described flattening the food so it could fit under the door I rolled my eyes and they didn't come back. I would have left them there for a day then I would have run to the internet to figure out how to protect my family legally and bust their door down. Instead, she turned the computer on to entertain us. Didn't she miss her kids? Mother-in-law makes good points but is too matriarchal and ignorant of what men can do. There is a countdown to daddy finally talking but it's just a narrative love letter to his children. It baffles, confuses and can't answer any of the questions. Sympathy can't find a place when everyone is suspicious. 24-May-2026
Send Help (2026)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the shot of Dylan's butt. It was just as expected. Knightwing be damned. 15-May-2026
It was a mixed bag. The story depended on actor magnetism and camaraderie. Dylan and Rachel outmaxxed their credit. When does a character become an actor's most iconic? When it suits them. Splashes of originality can't negate that it's not really a horror movie but a parody of ethics. Sloppy employee becomes stranded on an island with a wounded boss that refuses to promote her. A battle of the sexes ensues. The battle for survival is glossed over. A survivor in the making does not inherit skills so easily without some background and yelp. She learned all this from Youtube? The only way a woman can control a man is if he is unstable and there is no one else around. The coincidences were great choices that were parodied instead of being treated as dramatic arcs. The refrigerated salvation gave me poppy shudders. WTF? The biggies may have stepped out during it because that felt out of place. 15-May-2026
Wuthering Heights (2026)

Fennell is a diva whose use of instruments compliment her. Margot's Catherine is an untamed delicacy that can't sit still. Elordi's naughty edge was electric. Together they roar through an often told tale, commanding emotions as it rolls along. The movie is rustic, challenging and sexually explosive. Everything seems out of place except for the truth that romance is devastating. 03-May-2026
Here Comes The Devil (2012)

It has elements of a horror masterpiece but the production couldn't pull it off. Brother and sister vanish during a walk and return strange. The girl's first period was further embarrassing because the brother had to witness it. Having mama and papa explain the awakening to each child made sense. More time spent on how the kids communicated before would have helped explain how they communicated after. No difference. Too close and too weird. Sex is a strategic element that titillated to no effect. Sex is responsible for all of it but is sideswiped by fear and hunger. Fear to offend and hungry to be accepted. There was no budget for answers so they hinted a lot. I couldn't marry the intro with the main part of the story but good use of lesbians. Why would daddy drag a business bag into a cave? The ending was a pinchable surprise. 17-Apr-2026
The Testament Of Ann Lee (2025)

Ann Lee gives up the joy of life to preach the word of god. She has godly visions that hint at something greater than what is going on. She finds a church she can marry and eventually becomes their mother. The 2nd coming of Christ as a woman. Her mental health was questioned, she was imprisoned, beat, humiliated and spat on but she kept preaching. She even preached when god let her 4 babies die. She blamed it on sex and banned it from her husband and congregants. Christopher Abbott was the heated husband whose belief in God tortured his soul. His wife was now his sister and he was horny as fuck. Heck, I wanted to do that mouth thing on him just to keep him regular. The musical segments were easy on the ears and an extra element of characterization. There are times that you want them to shut up as much the neighborhood but that was the point. Amanda Seyfried was mature, focused, captivating and entertaining. Her visions don't lead to much but her obsession is unstoppable. I thought brother deserved more insight, I enjoyed the flow, the look and I was enthralled. 01-Apr-2026
Sentimental Value (2025)

The actors had to fill the spaces the script left out. A combination of the two would have made the film unforgettable. A writer/director tries to make peace with the two daughters he left behind. Recompense for their mother dying. Daddy has a script and a history he wants to make up for and he wants his eldest to act in it. The daughter is a stage actress whose father never ventured to watch her. Him hating live theatre felt unfit. Films and audiences are found in theaters as well. Artists gobble all types of art so they can better understand their own. Though the sentiments and emotions are clear the happenings are not. Performances were raw, experimental and beautiful. The film is quiet, ponderous and proficient but I couldn't find its pulse. 24-Mar-2026
War Machine (2026)

The military are all dicks so there is no one-upping each other. The banter is less typical and bad assery was disco (non-existent.) The thing had me desperate to see it and not disappointed that I did. The survival half contributed a lot to the action that followed. The cast was essential in directing audience emotions so it can feel it. The thing was scary and unstoppable. Someone is going to invent better AI to kill us. 10-Mar-2026
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025)

Rose Byrne acted under a magnifying glass and never flinched or deviated from her purpose. She aced it. A woman becomes whole when they give birth. If the child is born broken, completion falls apart. The gift becomes a burden and mama can't come to grips. The child is in the shadows because of the uniqueness of her circumstances. I got the picture. Conan Obrien was restrained, pained and good. The director's flair was unique and the writing sparkled with intelligence. 05-Feb-2026
It Feeds (2025)

Well thought out horror film that is supported by its players. Therapist is gifted with psychic abilities that lets her inhabit a person's mind to see what is triggering their ailment. Daughter plays intermediary because she hasn't tapped in to her abilities. Trouble knocks but when the therapist witnesses the ill she is frightened beyond belief and won't aid. Family dynamic is strong, Agatha doesn't hurt, the creature creeps, I was scared, the circumstances were believable and the finale got me thrilling 19-Jan-2026
Presence (2024)

The camera substituting for the presence was a great idea. It unsettles whilst causing anticipation. The household consists of interracial parents having preference for their teenage son and or daughter. The gender divide was lightly explained and suffered from awkward dialogue that did not strengthen character purpose. The scares were organic but weren't enough to create a classic horror. The presence has no I.D. It meanders slowly on repetitive angst but it doesn't get to the heart of it. It was drama. The no character close-ups put me on edge. If they would have only added them for the climax it would have jumpstarted some fear. It was curious, well acted, unique and experimental. The ending fit. It was the middle that sabotaged it. 06-Jan-2026
Mickey 17 (2025)

I watched ready to be disappointed but I was not. It was made for a future generation to fuss over and dissect. Pattinson is a beaten man who has to keep dying in order to survive. His accent and softness humanized Mickey 17 and convinced me to follow him. Pattinson's flashlight stayed on throughout even while twinning. Ruffalo's villain was way over the top. Naomi Aaki pumps the heart and kicks the ass. It's original, bonkers, nerdy and funny but the film lacked space. The supporting cast could have used it. I never stopped caring. 30-Dec-2025
Great Flood, The (2025)

It wasn't something I expected but am very pleased that it turned out that way. Patience begets understanding, information and the importance of acting as a whole instead of as an individual. I presumed that our leads gave a great performance in their native language but I chose dub and the acting was horrible, esp. the adorable child. It didn't matter because talking wasn't necessary. There are only so many words one can blurt out in an end of life scenario. It haunted, it accelerated and broke a few hearts. 23-Dec-2025
Wake Up Dead Man: Knives Out (2025)

Josh O'Connor was an Exorcist "Dimmy" dream. Josh Brolin was a Monsignor undie dropper. Jeremy Renner reached. Mila did well. Daddy Scott was still pinchable but backdoored. No one can light a room like Lady Close. Kerry explored and was successful. I laughed through most of it because it was funny, interesting and dynamic. Daddy superior still has issues with a hypocritical accent. I found a way. Have Super Daddy proclaim that he was faking it for legal reasons. The story was fun, the pace delightful and the performances were sublime. 13-Dec-2025
