I didn’t see IT: Chapter 2 in theaters this weekend because I saw IT: Chapter 1 and was thoroughly underwhelmed. Doctor Sleep, like IT, is a Stephen King adaptation so I’m hoping that it’s worthwhile to see in theaters. What it has in it’s favor is that it’s directed by Mike Flanagan (The Haunting Of […]
Osgood Perkins’ Gretel & Hansel looks to continue the esthetic began with movies like The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2015) and I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House (2016) which is to say horror that is subtle and cares less about gore and jump scares than creating a mood and an atmosphere.

Michael Bay, as much as I don’t want to admit it typically, is a pretty talented director. He has an eye for camera angles and can assemble talented people like no one’s business.

And there’s also way too much CGI, which was not the case with the first two movies, coincidentally the only two movies in the series that were accepted by both critics […]
The more I see of DC Films’ upcoming Joker, the more irritated I get. The film apparently exists outside current continuity, which wouldn’t be a problem if they would do their damn jobs and just take the time to build a universe for these characters. But that would imply that they have some idea of […]
While I enjoyed the teaser trailer for To Your Last Death I don’t quite understand the point of it in that–in the teaser at least–it looks like a lot of live action movies we’ve seen before, like Saw or The Collector. The strongest thing about it is the animation, which is a more traditional 2D […]
