Annabelle Creation: Unexpectedly Frightening, Unexpectedly Great

This was the real surprise outing in this franchise. Annabelle was lackluster. There rarely was a moment of real tension and the story didn’t really grab the audience. But Annabelle Creation is a whole different story. From the cinematography to the acting, to the story, everything in this movie just works together perfectly to create […]

The Conjuring 2: Haunting the Hodgkins

Despite lackluster reviews for Annabelle, the Conjuring franchise continued with The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Haunting. Notably, this one does not start with a recap of Annabelle’s adventures in nursing, but with a different Warren case, Amityville. This doesn’t do them any favors in the credibility department since Amityville has been scrutinized and debunked more

Annabelle the Movie: Too Few Scares, Too Many Dolls

When The Conjuring came out, there was one question on everyone’s mind. What is up with that creepy Annabelle doll from the cold open? At least that’s what I assume justified this movie. It’s a low point in the Conjuring Universe and as only the 2nd movie in the group, it’s kind of amazing that

The Conjuring: The Start of A Cinematic Universe

The Conjuring released in 2013. It tells the story of the Perron Family and their experience with inhuman spirits inhabiting their new home. It would be the movie that launched a, so far, 10 movie universe. Horror movies are no stranger to excessive sequels. While Friday the 13th is a masterpiece of tension and subverted

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil: Review and Plot Summary

I took voice notes while watching Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. (Not that I haven’t seen it 400 times) The app I use takes my voice notes and turns them into words but also gives it a name based on what I’ve been saying. It must use some type of AI. In this case, it

Final Destination: Bloodlines/Final Destination 6 – It’s All Because of Grandma

Final Destination: Bloodlines is a decent outing for the franchise. The storyline is interesting and a very different plan for our favorite menace, death. The cast is a surprisingly loveable group in a franchise known for characters that no one is sad to see lit aflame and dragged down the road by a tow truck.

Clown in a Cornfield: The Corniest Novel Hits the Big Screen

Clown in a Cornfield hits the big screen today. It’s the perfect teen slasher to kick off summer. Bringing equal parts mystery, teen drama, and comedy. In fact, it’s a bit of a shame that they went for the R rating, given that this would be a great horror movie for most teenagers who, because

Final Destination 5: Breaking Bridges and Minds

We have finally come to the final, Final Destination…for now. For the next week. This one is a significant upgrade from Final Destination 4. It’s a little treat for sticking it out. The credits could use a little upgrade, though. The spacing between letters in these names is enough to send me into an OCD

The Final Destination or Final Destination 4: How to Almost End a Franchise

Prepare yourselves horror fans because Final Destination 4 is not a cinematic masterpiece. It’s one of those movies you watch because you’re watching the set. This is no one’s favorite. The opening disaster sequence is hands down the worst and the visual effects are terrible. The movie was originally 3D and every 2-3 minutes it
