“The Last House” Streaming Review
It has an intriguing premise, but does it pay off? If you’ve been on the fence regarding this latest Netflix movie, and you’re wondering if it’s worth your time, then read on dear reader, because I’ve seen it, and it’s worth discussing. The movie stars Wagner Moura as Jason, a…

“Ice Cream Man” Review
⭐️⭐️ 2 My recent streak of strong cinema viewings came to an end tonight with a film I knew going in had divided audiences. While it is certainly not the worst film I have ever sat through, it lands firmly in the “watchable for the wrong reasons” category, reminiscent of…

“The Devil’s Mouth” Streaming Review
Is this Amazon Prime offering razor sharp, or does it lack serious bite? If there was ever a blueprint on how to make an exciting, engaging and terrifying shark horror flick, then Spielberg did it with Jaws. 50 years later, and it’s still the best shark horror ever made. Many…

“Obsession” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 Released while I was away on holiday some weeks ago, I finally managed to grab some popcorn, get comfy, and catch up on this one. It has already proved a hit with audiences, easily making its budget back and it deserves the praise received. This is a horror film…

“Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ 4 Unlike the family-friendly The Mummy remakes starring Brendan Fraser in the late 90s and early 2000s, this version leans fully into horror. With an 18 certificate, it’s clearly aimed at fans of the genre rather than a broad, all-ages audience. Quite a dark and serious take, aimed at providing scares. From…

“Ready Or Not 2” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4 When I first saw the trailer, I wasn’t particularly interested, although seeing Sarah Michelle Gellar did grab my attention as a big-name addition. After a fair bit of promotion, I decided to stream the first film, which I thought was… okay. Nothing special, but watchable. So, with a quiet…

“Scream 7” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨4.5 While I was a little late watching this one (after release), I was initially put off by the critical reviews. However, cinema audiences appeared to be enjoying it, and I had some spare time to give it a go. This is a good example of a film being savaged…

“The Bride” Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨3.5 Weird, fun and probably worth a try depending on your tastes. The film has a surreal tone and striking artistic direction, depicting Mary Shelley’s conflict as she brings The Bride to life to join Frankenstein. The performances are strong across the board. Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale are excellent,…
