Down a Dark Hall  |
Rating of: 2.5/4

Higher Learning of the Damned
|
|
Down a Dark Hall features a pretty outstanding cast of young actresses. Both AnnaSophia Robb and Isabelle Fuhrman have excelled in several roles - from heartfelt to horror to huge blockbusters. You have Uma Thurman, no stranger to challenging roles and some exiting newcomers in Victoria Moroles and Taylor Russell. Combined, this mostly female-driven cast (still a rarity among films - let alone thrillers) is the best part about the film.
The story starts off solid - troubled young woman Kit (... |

Can someone explain why the masked man did it?

Daddy can see us…when he gets here.
But he’s already here.
Do you fancy a movie along the lines of “Hush” but with people who aren’t mute? In short, a film in which there’s a lot of screaming. And should there be co-stars who are simply mown down with a wicked-looking ax as in every “Friday the 13th” episode? Then “He’s out there” might be something for you. However, if you are someone who expects a little explanation about why someone is terrorizing a family, then I’ll have to disappoi...

Seeing the World Through Different Eyes
|
|
No matter the medium - books, video games, film, I have found that the ones that stick with me the most are those that do the best job of crafting a compelling story from the point-of-view of a character that may be completely opposite of myself, but presenting it in such a way that feels organic, natural and just plain real.
Bo Burnham has done that with Eighth Grade and Elsie Fisher (who literally graduated from eighth grader herself, weeks before shooting this film) is perfectly cast as K... |

Tries Hard but Needs a Bit More Heat
|
|
Hot Summer Nights greatest attribute is its absolutely killer young cast. Timothée Chalamet was a multiple award nominee (including the Oscar and Golden Globe) for his performance in Call Me By Your Name while Maika Monroe impressed me in the fantastic horror film It Follows. She co-starred with Alex Roe in The 5th Wave and I also recognized Emory Cohen from his role in The OA. Throw in some killer cameos from William Fichtner and Thomas Jane, and you have your deck stacked.
The film follows... |

The hardest part is…
not knowing what’s happened to them.
If there’s one horror genre that pops up ad nauseam, it’s that of zombies. Not a month goes by without a release in which undeath feast on innocent non-infected fellow humans. Since the cult film “Night of the Living Dead” by George A. Romero, a countless number of zombie flicks have already been made. Every once in a while they try to give it an original twist to make it more comical or profound. So that for once the emphasis isn’t ... |

Ant-Man and the Wasp - Review
|
|
“You can do it. You can do anything. You're the world's greatest grandma”
‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ returns in full size form. So, after all the chaos and heartbreak with ‘Infinity War’, Marvel have stepped on the breaks and went back for a safe comedic tone. Basically being it’s own side story in this already big universe.
I enjoyed the first ‘Ant-Man’. Not great by any means and just like everyone else would have loved to see Edgar Wright's version. Reeking of re-writes and a clash of peop... |

I don’t know
what you’re fucking saying,
I don’t understand.
What an impressive film. You won’t get a feeling of excitement or relaxation after watching it. It’ll rather leave a bad taste in your mouth. It was as if the smell of blood, rancid food, vomit, and sweat has nestled itself in my nostrils. I had this annoying, uncomfortable feeling afterward. I’m convinced there are other places in this world where you don’t want to end up and which aren’t good for your health, both physicall...

Skyscraper - Review
|
|
“This is stupid.”
Well at least it knows.
‘Skyscraper’ is a disposable action flick starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Just looking at the advertisements you can already tell it’s gonna be those type of movies where you have to accept it to enjoy it. If you watched the trailer where Dwayne jumps off a crane into another building to rescue his family who are trapped inside, before cutting to the release date. It’s absurd, although looks fun. Might follow the same path of ‘Fast & the F... |

Two for the Price of Fun
|
|
The MCU hits just keep on coming. While it's hard to follow-up the one-two punch of Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp provides some much-needed levity for the MCU. The first Ant-Man was a lot of fun - the charm of Paul Rudd's dry humor, Evangeline Lilly take-no-crap attitude, Michael Douglas surprising gravitas and Michael Peña's comedic side-kickery. All that is back and more - so if you liked it the first time around, the second is just as good.
Our sequel pick... |
