A spy thriller with zero thrills. Feels like AI wrote it and a robot directed it.

The Lodger (2009) tries to weave a dark and mysterious tale, but it struggles to leave a lasting impression. While Alfred Molina delivers a commendable performance, the story’s slow pacing and predictable twists fail to build the tension it aims for.

The film has moments of atmospheric dread and an intriguing premise, but the execution feels too flat and disted to truly engage. It’s not without merit there’s a moody aesthetic and some solid performances but it falls short of being the gripping thriller it wants to be

Somewhere beneath all the slow-motion hair flips, unnecessary wire-fu, and cringe-worthy attempts at humor, there might have been a plot… but I gave up looking for it. The 2000s energy is off the charts, but not in a good way,this feels like a relic of bad music videos stitched together with duct tape and bad puns. It’s loud, it’s over-the-top, and it’s hollow. I love camp, but this is camp with no soul. At least the soundtrack slaps, I guess?

“Jason Takes Manhattan” is a mixed bag of slasher absurdity and unfulfilled potential. The idea of Jason Voorhees tearing through New York City is genius, but the execution? Not so much. For a movie subtitled Takes Manhattan, most of the runtime is spent on a cruise ship, leaving us waiting far too long for the Big Apple carnage we were promised.

When Jason does get to Manhattan, it’s fun Times Square, the subway, and even a sewer showdown—but these moments are fleeting and feel more like a highlight reel than a full-fledged payoff. That said, Kane Hodder’s performance as Jason remains solid, and the kills are creative enough to keep things entertaining, even if the pacing drags.

This entry strays deep into camp territory, with cheesy dialogue, over-the-top characters, and moments so ridiculous they border on parody (looking at you, head-punch scene). It’s not the worst in the franchise, but it’s far from the best. A decent watch if you don’t take it too seriously, but more of a missed opportunity than a triumphant urban slasher.

A telekinetic teenager battles Jason Voorhees in what feels like a half-baked Carrie knockoff meets slasher fatigue. While the concept of Tina’s powers adds some novelty, it’s underdeveloped and ultimately clashes with the franchise’s grounded, grim tone. The kills are censored to the point of frustration, and Jason’s menacing presence is overshadowed by poor pacing and a generic ing cast.

Kane Hodder’s debut as Jason is the film’s lone bright spot, bringing a physicality that elevates the otherwise dull proceedings. Beyond that, The New Blood is more like a soggy leftover than a fresh offering for fans.

Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor is a mixed bag that leans heavily on atmosphere and tension. The new location provides a fresh setting, and the eerie, slow-building dread is a highlight. The film does a decent job tying into the broader Hell House LLC mythos without feeling like a retread.

That said, the pacing feels uneven, with the buildup far outweighing the payoff. Some scares hit hard, but others feel predictable

Definitely an interesting concept, but Cut 2000 just doesn’t hit the mark. The plot feels disted, with way too many loose ends and underdeveloped characters. It’s clear they were aiming for a meta-horror vibe, but the execution falls flat, leaving the story feeling confusing instead of clever.

The kills are creative, but the lack of suspense and poorly paced scenes make it hard to stay invested. There are a few standout moments and fun callbacks to horror classics, but overall, this movie feels like a missed opportunity. Wish they’d cut out some of the mess and focused on building real tension!

🎃Tales of Halloween (2015)🎃 is a fun and satisfying anthology that delivers exactly what its title promises: a series of spooky tales centered around the spirit of Halloween. Directed by multiple filmmakers, the movie weaves together ten short stories, each embracing the spooky, campy, and occasionally twisted side of the holiday.

One of the standout aspects of Tales of Halloween is its diversity in storytelling and tone. Each segment offers something unique, from dark humor and supernatural scares to campy gore and classic horror tropes. The anthology leans heavily on its love for the genre, embracing the traditions and clichés in a way that’s both a tribute and a playful parody. Some tales hit the mark with sharp writing and creative twists, while others feel like a quick sketch of a promising idea. Still, the fast pace keeps things moving, rarely overstaying its welcome on any single plotline.

The star power in Tales of Halloween is another notable feature, with appearances from genre legends like Adrienne Barbeau, Barry Bostwick, and a slew of familiar faces that horror fans will appreciate. The directors (including Neil Marshall, Darren Lynn Bousman, and Lucky McKee, among others) inject their own style into their segments, which can make the film feel a bit uneven at times, but it also maintains a sense of unpredictability.

Visually, the movie plays well with Halloween aesthetics—think fog-covered streets, glowing jack-o’-lanterns, and creepy creatures lurking around the corner. It’s clear that the filmmakers had a good time bringing these stories to life, and their ion translates into an atmosphere that’s perfect for a late-October viewing. The practical effects are a highlight, and while some segments lean into low-budget charm, it all fits within the playful nature of the film.

However, as with many anthologies, not all segments are created equal. Some shorts hit with clever twists and memorable scares, while others fall into predictable territory or feel underdeveloped. This inconsistency is what holds Tales of Halloween back from being a top-tier anthology. But its variety of tones and stories also means there’s a little something for everyone.

Overall, Tales of Halloween is a love letter to the holiday, celebrating everything from ghost stories and slasher flicks to creature features and urban legends. It’s not without its flaws, but it delivers more hits than misses and captures the fun, nostalgic vibe of a classic Halloween night. If you’re looking for something to add to your spooky season lineup, this anthology is worth a watch.

Jason Lives marks a turning point in the franchise, with a sharp pivot from horror to a more self-aware blend of slasher and dark comedy. Directed by Tom McLoughlin, the film takes a meta-approach that breathes new life into Jason Voorhees (quite literally), but at the expense of the series’ earlier scares

Terrifier 3 tries to go bigger and bolder, but not necessarily better. While the film expands on Art the Clown’s backstory, the added lore becomes more confusing than engaging. With a longer runtime, it tends to drag in parts that should be picking up the tension.

There are some creative kills, but after a while, they start feeling repetitive, losing the initial impact of the first Terrifier. What was once a raw and gritty slasher now feels bogged down by an over-the-top storyline that falls flat.

The cast does what it can, and Art is still as unsettling as ever, but the writing leans on predictable dialogue and clichéd character decisions, leading to a lack of genuine suspense.

If you’re only here for the intense horror elements, Terrifier 3 still delivers, but if you’re looking for more nuanced storytelling or real character depth, this one leaves a lot on the table.

Although not as strong as its predecessors, 'Friday the 13th: A New Beginning' still offers some entertaining slasher thrills. The kills are creative, the suspense is there, and Tommy's character adds an intriguing layer to the story. However, some fans may be disappointed by the deviation from the original formula. Overall, a decent entry in the franchise.

I went into Depravity (2024) hoping for an edgy, thought-provoking thriller, but what I got was a chaotic, surface-level attempt at shock value. The plot is muddled beyond recognition, with too many subplots vying for attention and none of them getting the depth they need to feel meaningful. The film tries too hard to be controversial, throwing in violent and grotesque scenes that seem more interested in grossing out the audience than saying anything of substance.

The characters are flat, their motivations unclear, and despite some decent performances, they have nothing to work with. Even the pacing is all over the place — long stretches of dull dialogue are punctuated by erratic bursts of action that don’t lead anywhere. The cinematography had moments of promise, but it’s wasted in a film that seems to have no idea what it’s trying to achieve.

If you’re looking for a film with genuine tension, emotional depth, or a coherent storyline, Depravity will leave you feeling frustrated and cheated. This one’s a hard .

Superbad is a fun, coming-of-age comedy that captures the awkwardness of teenage life and the chaotic quest for high school glory. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera have great chemistry, delivering a lot of laughs with their relatable and over-the-top antics. The dialogue is sharp and filled with memorable quotes, while McLovin has become iconic in his own right

The First Power feels like a muddled mess of supernatural clichés and uninspired cop drama tropes that never find their footing. Lou Diamond Phillips tries his best to salvage something from the chaotic script, but the film’s ridiculous plot and wooden dialogue leave him stranded. The concept of a detective chasing an undead, body-hopping killer sounds cool on paper, but the execution is laughably bad.

Cheesy special effects, a nonsensical story, and over-the-top performances make it hard to take anything seriously. By the time the film reaches its absurd conclusion, it’s hard to believe you made it this far. Not scary enough to be a decent horror, nor thrilling enough for a crime thriller—The First Power is a lifeless attempt that’s better left forgotten.

I came into Transporter 3 hoping for some mindless action fun, but even on those , it falls short. Jason Statham, as always, brings his intense charisma to the role of Frank Martin, but even his slick driving skills and fight choreography can’t save this one.

The plot feels like it’s on autopilot, with Frank forced to transport yet another mysterious package, only this time the stakes feel lower, and the tension is missing. The dynamic between Frank and Valentina (Natalya Rudakova) is more awkward than compelling, and the romance feels forced.

The action sequences, which are usually the highlight of the franchise, lack the creativity and edge of the earlier films. They come off as repetitive, with way too much reliance on car chases and not enough of the inventive fight choreography that made the first two films entertaining.

Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla is a quietly powerful and beautifully crafted film that tells Priscilla Presley’s story from her perspective, focusing on her emotional journey rather than Elvis’s fame. Cailee Spaeny’s performance is stunning—she brings vulnerability and depth to a character often overshadowed by the icon of Elvis.

Coppola’s signature dreamy visuals and restrained storytelling create an intimate atmosphere, highlighting the isolation and inner conflict Priscilla experiences. It’s a slow, meditative film, but its emotional resonance is profound. A beautifully human portrayal of love, power, and self-discovery.

Despite being labeled The Final Chapter, this fourth entry in the Friday the 13th franchise feels like more of the same. While it offers up the usual gory kills and a relentless Jason Voorhees, the formula is starting to feel stale. The plot is paper-thin, with characters that exist solely to be slaughtered in increasingly creative ways.

Though the special effects, especially by Tom Savini, are impressive, and Corey Feldman’s Tommy Jarvis brings a slight twist to the narrative, it’s not enough to elevate the film beyond its repetitive nature. The pacing drags, and the scares are predictable, leaving much of the movie feeling more tedious than tense.

A solid entry in the Friday the 13th franchise, but not without its flaws. The 3D gimmick is fun in a campy, nostalgic way, even if some of the effects feel a little dated. Jason finally dons his iconic hockey mask, which makes this installment memorable, but the plot follows the same slasher formula as the first two films, without adding much new. The kills are creative, but the characters are mostly one-dimensional, serving as little more than fodder for Jason.

Still, it’s entertaining if you’re in the mood for some cheesy, early ‘80s horror. It doesn’t elevate the series, but it hits the sweet spot for fans of the genre who enjoy over-the-top gore and campy thrills. Not the best in the franchise, but not the worst either. A decent watch for a Friday night horror binge.

لە سەرەتاوە بە ئاشکرا دیارە کە کێ جادووی کردووە
ئەمەش بۆ ئەوە دەگەڕێتەوە کە ئەکتەری کەم بەژداری کردووە

As a sequel, Friday the 13th Part 2 does what you’d expect: it delivers more of the same campy slasher thrills, but with diminishing returns. While the film introduces Jason Voorhees as the primary antagonist, it still lacks the novelty and raw impact of the original. The atmosphere is effectively eerie, with the secluded camp setting playing its part well, but the plot feels recycled and the scares predictable.

The characters are a forgettable bunch, largely serving as fodder for Jason’s rampage. However, the final girl, Ginny, adds some intelligence and resourcefulness to the mix, making the climax more engaging than the build-up. The iconic sack-mask Jason has its own rough charm, but it’s clear the franchise was still figuring out the menacing figure he’d eventually become.

In the end, Friday the 13th Part 2 is a solid but uninspired continuation of the series. It’s worth a watch for die-hard fans, but it doesn’t quite stand out in the crowded slasher genre.

The original Friday the 13th may have spawned an entire franchise, but looking back, it’s hard to see why. The film is a clunky mix of cheap scares and even cheaper production values. The acting ranges from wooden to downright laughable, with a script that does little to help the cast. The kills, though creative in some ways, feel more like a means to an end rather than moments of genuine horror.

While I can appreciate its place in horror history, the movie feels like a tedious chore rather than a thrilling experience. The twist ending is memorable, but getting there is a slog through repetitive scenes and predictable setups. If anything, this film serves as a reminder that not all “classics” stand the test of time.

Overall, Friday the 13th is a slasher film that struggles to rise above its low-budget origins, and its reputation feels more like a product of nostalgia than quality.

The narrative itself is where the film struggles. While the mystery is intriguing, the plot meanders, and some of the twists feel more confusing than shocking. The secondary characters aren’t as well-developed, making it hard to care about their fates, and the ending leaves a bit too much unresolved for my taste.

Overall, Longlegs is a mixed bag. It has some strong elements, particularly in its visual style and Cage’s performance, but it doesn’t quite stick the landing. Fans of slow-burn horror might appreciate its mood and tension, but for others, it may be a bit too slow and disted to fully satisfy.

This review gives a balanced perspective while explaining why it lands at 3 stars. Adjust as needed to reflect your personal take!

Rosemary’s Baby is not just a horror film; it’s a disturbing exploration of how easily one’s life can spiral out of control when others manipulate your reality. It’s a must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers and horror, with its slow-burn tension and unforgettable ending. A true classic that continues to influence the genre.
