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
Something Bad Is Going To Happen (2026)

The only way to enjoy it is to panic from expectation and by giving mumbo jumbo a pass. Morrone pummeled a silly context and Debra Wingered it. She was authentically self-involved and complicated. The kiss would have scandalized, if it had happened with Jules. Characterization was brilliant. The script questioned and deciphered a soulmate. Shit like that. The atmosphere was chilling and creepy and I understood enough to enjoy it. I knew the end before it happened but became addicted when I needed to confirm it. It takes a while. Less is better. 28-Mar-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
Boyfriend, The (2024-) 


The boys dedicated two months to an experiment that could fix emotional fractures. The hosts were watchers who philosophized what the men might be going through and offer distinctive points of view. Topics were mostly nondescript, serious and or obsessive. The atmosphere was calm and the boys were intellectually appealing. Their approach to love and attraction was mature and endearing. It still feels like the boys are stuck in a dreamworld of unattainable things but their progression makes us believe and wish it were true. Their emotional experience was also ours. Respect to the men for being open and charismatic. 18-Feb-2026
S1E6. The boys are sweet and childlike in a comic book sort of way. No one lets their guard down enough, even in private. They bear the pain instead of exfoliating it. American gay dating differs. You get dumped with dick pics. These boys are corny, manic depressive and oppressed. Dude, I would have been raped 11 times by the time anyone plotted anything. 04-Aug-2024
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
Monster: The Ed Gein Story (2025)

Hunnan's depiction is the main reason we anticipate. He was pitch perfect and sublime. A Joker in the making. Lighting made him appear like a a tight Peacemaker sometimes, at others, detached and always anybody but himself. Casting was challenging. The actor portraying Hitch sounded better than he represented. It was Hitch on Ozempic. Anthony Perkins was tall, skinny as a toothpick and had nervous characteristics that glued him to a psychopath. That was not apparent to the actor portraying him or the one who hired him. Tobe Hooper was unwound? Adeline had moments. Christine Jorgensen was spot on. A man can create life but only a woman can guide it. The frills were sometimes burps between segment changes. It's eeriness was special, the thoughts were well constructed and the monster breaks our heart. Is that right? 07-Oct-2025
Alien: Earth (2025-)

An A+ assignment that did extra credit. Machines against humanity even as they become. The villains are DC worthy, the human/machine analogy is intriguing and the actors are treating the story with care. It's a joy to be scared without Pazuzu's involvement. 10-Sep-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
Sinners (2025)

Full of culture, history, vibrance and originality. I did twitch a little in the beginning but everyone was working so hard to tell a story that I couldn't resist. The blues were everywhere. It is unfortunate that the performance at the bar lacked the oomph the folk music got. A surprise diva would have brought down the house. Even the limited characters left a mark. The cast stripped their personas without losing watts. The cliches were rewritten to better express a different culture and they fit. Bravo to the talent for creating their own thing. 05-Jul-2025
Squid Game (2021) 

S3 brought back what was missing in the second season, clever games and family heartbreak. I gave up on the technical side because I know it won't add up and it would skew my opinion but they shot through our hearts in subtle and beautiful ways. The trans was heroic and sympathetic, the grandma broke our hearts and the lead was magnificent. That face. I finally understood his character, his pride and redemption. The extra game member seemed gimmicky but it worked because it got to the heart of the matter. Knives and keys was a gripping episode because of the surprises, heartbeats and bravery. The games were creative and scary as fuck. The asides halted the momentum and achieved little purpose but the detective was pretty as fuck. The actors were a crew and they showed it. It isn't better than the first but it's a fitting end. 04-Jul-2025
S2 is missing something. Impact. A feeling of exhaustion permeated and interrupted some of the proceedings. The games didn't rivet, the cast was stereotypically goofy, compassion was limited and sense started to drag. The ship shenanigans didn't have closure or purpose. I presume the save will be last minute in S3. Thinking you can overtake a heavily guarded facility is ludicrous. In life I doubt that a majority of people would choose to die. I wanted to see people go home. Why doesn't anyone hook up? A grab and a rub here and there wouldn't hurt. How do the men deal with morning wood? I'm losing empathy. 04-Jan-2025
If you can't afford happy things, you become bitter, if your are unable to provide, you become addicted and if you can't eat, you die. It's called poverty. A group of instinctual individuals are given the opportunity to have their financial struggles resolved. They have to play children's games that are only safe in rhythm but not rhyme. If you lose, you die. If you win, it's a lot. The characters are specific, writing is a brainstorm and the whole is an abundance of I've never seen anything like this before. 07-Oct-2021
S1E7. The VIPs were from Palm Springs. 05-Oct-2021
S1E4. I am petrified and addicted. 01-Oct-2021
Company of Wolves, The (1984)

An almost with a distinct visual style and coordination. The Little Red Riding Hood backstory was solid but the asides were distracting. Every once upon a time dredged up a mini scenario that killed the present momentum. I would have combined all the once upon a times into an intro. Somehow panic seeps into the mysterious imagery and causes confusion. Angela Lansbury was the perfect grandmother, the child was beguiling and the atmosphere was spooky. The wolves were a grab bag of good and bad. Some of the metamorphosis were clever. "Red" was a watered down version of the threat a violent man poses in society esp. regarding girls. The film is not afraid to explore sexuality. The reason most evil men do girls harm is sex. She blossoms while they shiver and fidget. Driving a car in the forest felt too modern for its surroundings. I watched riveted until the end but I didn't quite get it. 26-Jun-2025
Mufasa: The Lion King (2024)

No voice actor accomplished the spirit of the characters they were portraying and no artist brought forth the actors' sensibilities. Timon and Pumba didn't coagulate and were kind of icky. Being younger does not excuse Mufasa's studious voice. What college did he go to? There was no boom in his voice at all. Rafiki's accent was diluted which killed his character's strength and suppressed his charisma. Where was Scar's gay accent? The songs retracted more than they bounced, the animation creeped more than it amazed, and the story was blasphemous and weak. All this fuss over a lioness when Scar's real crush should have been Mufasa. The brother song was so inept that it made me furious every time they said brother. The bottom of the barrel. 11-Apr-2025
