Astronaut, The (2025)

Astronaut crash lands on earth after a failed space mission and wakes up unaware of what transpired. Her reestablishment on earth was grueling and invasive, unusual bruising exasperated, baby was cute, hallucinations were stark and safety was non-existent. Well done sci-fi that kept both sides of the equation minimal and low in impact. 23-Aug-2026
In Fear (2013)

Horror bumps were well laid, the cast was lit, the composition compelled fear and frustration but the glue that was keeping it tight loosened at the end. Casual daters on holiday en route to meet friends deviate because of a desire to stay at an overnight hotel. A private hideaway that allowed for loud fucks. The hotel was so secret that an escort to its entrance was needed. The entrance to the unknown was a relentless maze that brought them no closer to the hotel or getting out. The motivation for what scared them was slight. The actions that transpired before it ends didn't correspond with its effects or my thoughts. I didn't want to think about it too much as to not ruin the experience but I know the math was wrong. I understood what happened but not the why. 21-Aug-2026
Watchers II (1990)

I did not watch part I because searching might have induced sleep. Corporation is behind a biological experiment that enhances animal intelligence and creates a master to hunt them. The golden retriever stole scenes by being adorable, having human compassion and excellent computer skills. The hunter was an abomination with the characteristics of a melting candle. Master breaks loose and is trailing everyone doggie encountered. Humanity was present, appeal was nice, there were vibes, the dog did good work but the monster sucked. 19-Aug-2026
Hole, The (2009)

City brothers of competitive ages move to a quiet town that hides mysteries only weird folk encounter. Performers were alert and the mystery was intriguing. Not all holes need to be explored. I got that. Scares were correct but limited. The kids acted accordingly and the mythology was promising. I didn't understand why someone's personal nightmare interfered with others. The clown puppet gave me chills when it connected to childhood fears but it disconnected as soon as it got personal. Dante of any kind is a childlike adventure, Dante restrained is a child crying for help and Dante unleashed is a mad genius. 12-Aug-2026
Primate (2025)

Younglings stay home partying whilst dad goes away on business. Pet monkey Ben's adorability is fading due to illness and he's turning mean. The monkey escapes from his enclosure and goes on a rampage. The action set pieces were fresh and unexpected. The handicap was used accordingly. The actors were subtle but captivating. It hurt to watch the transformation from sweet pet to demonic shredder but the film was sheer panic. 02-Aug-2026
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
Undertone (2025)

A daughter cares for her comatose mother whilst hosting a mystery show that entices viewers with myths and facts. The premise only works if the source of the terror (the show) weren't so basic. I could not concoct the visuals necessary to instill fear from the audio presented. Video might have fixed that. Bumps in the night and sleight of hand make up the scares. The film was working towards authenticity but missed being that by not allowing the actors to work for it. When mama falls off the bed daughter is shown off camera helping her back. I wanted to see the struggle of an actor turning a thought into an action. It would have been inspiring. Nina Kiri carries the weight of the film because the support was invisible. Someone needed to physically free her of the constraints. The crust was decent but the pie not so much. 07-Jul-2026
Good Boy (2025)

The dog said, "get me outta here!" whilst the humans yelled "WTF?!!!!!," just for the hell of it. 02-May-2026
It is disconcerting to think of a dog living in darkness for a good portion of its life. There were no lingering impressions that the dog was ever comfortable. Though the idea of a dog's view of a haunting is fresh and experimental, there were too many shadows to cast a good light. Even though Indy was brilliant his light should have been shared otherwise we are to think that our pets don't see us. I wanted to hug it. The scares don't cling to a mythology of substance but having a baby experience them gave it a protective chill. Effort exists but I understood the dog better than the haunt. 02-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
Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere

The doc felt exploitative, only the despised benefitted and the source of male toxicity were the women who represented when the boys were growing up. 22-Mar-2026
Ugly Stepsister, The (2025)

Fantasies have realities that most live version films avoid. Someone figured it out. The writer must intuit the motivations behind every classic action. The cast were harmonious and rhythmic, the protagonist disrobed emotionally, dialogue made sense and the shocks were shocking. The story was realized, poeticized and scary. The pumpkin fell flat. It would have been easier to have Cinderella's admirer coach her. He would do it to woo Cinderella away from the Prince. He had to be home by midnight because he was underage. 25-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
Bring Her Back (2025)

The ritual that is supposed to bring one back from the dead is in another language that is not translated until the end. Well, then why the fuck did it take so long? Unbalanced mother inherits 2 siblings, a hormonal teenager with wet problems and a mostly blind baby sister that has a need to be acknowledged. Boy wants to run with his sister but in 3 months he can do it legally. He just needs to put up with his foster mother's psychosis. The atmosphere is constantly tight. The actors delivered more than the script gave them. Gross is not a metaphor for fright, the ritual is not logical, the actions are less so, I didn't understand Ollie's diet and I didn't appreciate all the red. 28-Oct-2025
Monkey, The (2025)

As scary as the little fucker was, the monkey's structure was undefined. I got most of the gist but a lot of it was fogged up. If it can destroy towns why didn't it do it in the first place? How does the monkey choose who to kill and when it stops? The attacks were coordinated but sense killed a lot of it. It excels in the least likeliest of places: a solid story, emotional balance, talent and imagination. I wanted to stay in their lives and deconstruct the monkey. Theo James wasted no emotion or thought in his performance and was very effective. The young twins blew me away. I didn't know it was one actor portraying both. When they were onscreen together I kept thinking, "they must be fraternal because they don't look that much alike." It was impressive. It had all the elements to elevate itself but the monkey's mythology was weak and very Final Destination. 08-Aug-2025
Cursed, The (2021)

It excruciates its wretchedness. Kelly Reilly seemed lost especially around the eyes. Gypsies curse white people for taking their land and torturing them to bits. I grew up thinking gypsies were only Spanish but later grew to understand the concept. A curse is unleashed and a wolf man allegory with modern finesse is rebranded. The burying of teeth (obvious), frightening dreams (done to death) and scarecrow fixtures (Jeepers Creepers) did not a good mythology make. If the gypsies had such awesome power why didn't they curse them the moment they paid them to get out? The werewolves were straight out of a Hollywood closet. They went clean shaven 80's instead of hairy 70's porn star. I couldn't consider it a werewolf because it was unfamiliar and implausible. I thought Seamus had sucked McBride's dick whilst losing the way back to his room but it was a dream I had after a temporary drift off. It was well done but no fun. 25-Jul-2025
