BACK TO ITS ROOTS As a massive fan of Hell House LLC and the franchise as a whole, this was the shot in the arm this franchise needed. Number 1 is a classic, watch Number 2 if you just want some solid cheap jump scares, and watch number 3 if you want need a movie... Continue Reading →
Sippin’ Cinema Series: Take 3 – ABIGAIL Delivers Expected Vampire Thrills, But Nothing More Than Blood and Bites
I am so confused by how I feel about this movie. There were plenty of scenes and ideas that I really enjoyed. But I could have skipped this movie altogether and life would be no different. I have honestly no clue how you handle the topic of a ballerina vampire girl that is trying to... Continue Reading →
Sippin’ Cinema Series: Take 2 – TRAP Boldly Revealed It’s Twist Early and It Did NOT Payoff
I’d like to start out with the fact I actually LOVED the idea of this film. I had no idea which direction they’d take. But a serial killer being trapped at a Taylor Swift’esque concert experience was extremely original and I’m so glad M. Knight brought a unique idea and story to us. I support... Continue Reading →
LONGLEGS: Lacks Horrific Scares, But Delivers a Disturbing and Creepy Package of a Film
First Thoughts Let me start out by saying the marketing that NEON did for this film was a 12/10. They built the hype off billboards, fake phone numbers to call, short clips that creeped you the fuck out, and continuous teasing without giving you the whole pie. It was a masterclass in how to hype... Continue Reading →
Sippin’ Cinema Series: Under Paris – New Netflix Shark Thriller
I am always down to watch a new attempt at a shark attack movie, and one being set in Paris and the Siene sounds gnarly no matter how unrealistic it is. At first I was trying to take it too serious, with the awful opening scene of the main character Sophia getting dragged DEEP at... Continue Reading →
Late Night With The Devil: Refreshing, Batshit Crazy, Dastmalchian Grabs the Brass Ring
Even though I knew this would be a very unique and refreshing take on found footage, it strayed so far into its own production style, I couldn’t take my eyes off it. The transition from the late night show production, to the found footage can switch between segments, mixed in with some black and white... Continue Reading →
Godzilla x Kong: There Is Room In Hollywood For Chaotic Monster Bullshit That’s Fun
From The Start: Initial Thoughts This movie is everything I expected and wanted it to be, absolute mayhem that feels like any shit goes. I wouldn’t have batted an eye if someone through a pyramid at each other. Shit, Godzilla even brought Kong to suplex city just cause this man stepped on Earth. You know... Continue Reading →
Dune Part Two: The Hype is Real, and So is the LISAN AL-GAIB!
I need to start this with the comment that I thought the first movie was fine. Found out halfway through it’s really just a set up for part two, and MY GOD DID IT DELIVER IN PART TWO. Sometimes a cast is so intertwined with their characters you forget any prior works they did because... Continue Reading →
Talk To Me: Original Horror Movie Idea done RIGHT!
Talk To Me Joins the Horror Resurgence In my opinion, overall the recent horror landscape over the past 5 years has been adding banger after banger to the genre, and Talk To Me joins that list. At its core it’s a possession film, but leave it to A24 and credit to the Rackaracka fellas for... Continue Reading →
Oppenheimer: I Give It a Modest 15/10. Unlike Any Other Cinema Experience
Cillian Murphy, Oppenheimer First Thoughts and Initial Reaction I am not sure I have had a movie theatre experience ever in my life like I did during Oppenheimer. Seeing this movie in the 70mm IMAX film showing as Nolan intended was like being there in person for every scene, conversation, and moment. The sound design,... Continue Reading →
