It was an education for us, and we're passing it along to you!

Trailer Alert! Forever Purge

Nanny (2022) Review

★★★★ out of ★★★★★

Intensity 🩸 out of 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸

Joseph’s Review: Torn Hearts

★★★★ out of ★★★★★ Horror icon Brea Grant delivers a great-looking film with one cowboy-boot–wearing foot in modern gothic horror territory and the other in slasher-style fare, loading Nashville music scene chiller Torn Hearts with commentary on the price of fame.

Eric’s Review: Halloween Kills (2021)

★★ out of ★★★★★ Halloween Kills harkens back to the old traditions of the Halloween sequels. And that's not a good thing. The movie delivers expert gore effects and the cruel hyperviolence is superbly done. Old-school slasher fans will likely be quite pleased. But, for those who have grown accustomed to smart protagonists and the nuanced scripts of modern horror, you will be disappointed. This movie is simply an exhausting bloody trudge, setting up the next and nominally final chapter to this trilogy.

Eric’s Review: Freaky (2020)

★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ Freaky takes the body swap idea from Freaky Friday, and gives it a slasher film twist. It's a fun concept, and is off and on entertaining, but the film's sloppy and predictable plot keep it from reaching the standard for similar Blumhouse fare like Happy Death Day.
