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…
DonnaThe 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…

So naturally when Final Destination: Bloodlines announced I was unbearable. I made everyone in my household watch the trailer, squealed with delight when the late great…
DonnaTarot: Fate, written in the cards
I see an unreasonable number of movies every year. This includes almost every horror movie, no matter how campy, cheesy, or cheap and jump-scare-filled it promises to be. I knew I had to see it when I first saw previews for this year’s Tarot while watching a different horror movie. I loved the creepy stylistic…
