New Winnie the Pooh movie is a “bloody” good time

“Well. I guess growing up sucks.” That’s what one of the fellow movie goers announced at the very end of the screening of “Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey” (2023) this evening to the audience. And I think they’re right. I have no idea what my expectations were going into this film but it wasContinue reading “New Winnie the Pooh movie is a “bloody” good time”

“M3GAN” (2023) is a Modern Take on a Scary Reality

Here we are in the new year 2023 – it’s a new year of growth and a new year of horror films. And so far, it’s off to a great start. “M3GAN” was a pleasant shock for me this year. When I went into the theatre I had only saw glimpses of small bits throughContinue reading ““M3GAN” (2023) is a Modern Take on a Scary Reality”

GUEST VOICE: M3GAN is Chucky for the AI age and a scathing take on modern technological hubris

by: Jake Nuttall The new campy sci-fi thriller M3GAN follows the creation and subsequent havoc wreaked by its eponymous android doll. And it may be early, but so far it has my vote so far for best horror of 2023. The story is the construct of James Wan (Saw) and screenwriter Akela Cooper (Malignant), aContinue reading “GUEST VOICE: M3GAN is Chucky for the AI age and a scathing take on modern technological hubris”

“Hellraiser: Inferno” (2000) is Straight Up Garbage

Here we are – still making my way through the “Hellraiser” franchise with Pinhead. If this film is a sign – the franchise only goes downhill from here on out. Why? Because this film is a literal pile of flaming garbage. Let me tell you why. From the very start the protagonist, detective Joseph, isn’tContinue reading ““Hellraiser: Inferno” (2000) is Straight Up Garbage”

Oh Baby, Baby: “Barbarian” (2022) is a Twisted Exciting Movie

“Barbarian.” What is this film about you ask? I wasn’t actually completely sure when I watched this film – but I think that’s what gives it its charm. Ever since this film was released I have been wanting to see it. I’ve heard so many mixed reviews – but I wanted to find out forContinue reading “Oh Baby, Baby: “Barbarian” (2022) is a Twisted Exciting Movie”

“Hellraiser: Bloodline” (1996) is a Surprisingly Entertaining Film

I’m back, and still haven’t gotten entirely through the Hellraiser franchise. I think I needed a mental break from it all to be honest – but here I am reviewing the fourth film of this strange franchise. And I must say this one was actually quite enjoyable. When the film first opened, I was skepticalContinue reading ““Hellraiser: Bloodline” (1996) is a Surprisingly Entertaining Film”

“Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth” (1992) is a Dumpster Fire

So the reviews of the Hellraiser films continue, and I’m not even halfway through the franchise… After the second film, I had high hopes for the third film in the Pinhead installment but it was a huge disappointment. From the plot, the characters, the acting, I mean the list goes on…I was bored. And itContinue reading ““Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth” (1992) is a Dumpster Fire”

“Hellbound: Hellraiser II” (1988) is an Upgrade From its Predecessor

I thought I swore the “Hellraiser” series off after watching the first film, and really not enjoying it. But after talking to my friend who is a die-hard Pinhead fan, she said I need to give this series more of a chance. She told me the series actually gets better. And I’m here to writeContinue reading ““Hellbound: Hellraiser II” (1988) is an Upgrade From its Predecessor”

“The Boy” (2016) is an Unknown Horror Gem

Creepy haunted doll movies are a must, right? Normally I seem to enjoy them but I’ve only ever stuck to the classic Chucky doll to get my dose of a doll running around and murdering people. But recently, I’ve discovered something maybe even better than “Child’s Play,” and it’s “The Boy.” When this film cameContinue reading ““The Boy” (2016) is an Unknown Horror Gem”

The Iconic “Hellraiser” (1987) Isn’t What It’s Cracked Up to Be

A few weeks ago I was reminded of the iconic Pinhead from “Hellraiser” when I put on a horror shirt I haven’t worn in months. I kind of forgot it existed, but I found it buried in my drawer — stuffed full of my T-Shirt collection. That day, the iconic horror shirt became a topicContinue reading “The Iconic “Hellraiser” (1987) Isn’t What It’s Cracked Up to Be”
