Toy Story 4 (2019) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 21 June 2019; Written by Frank Wilkins

Bad news: Toy Story 4 is Pixar’s biggest money grab to date. Good news: This is Pixar, so it never feels like one. It is not a stretch to say that the company couldn’t make a bad movie if it tried. After all, none of its films ...

Midsommar (2019) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 05 July 2019; Written by Frank Wilkins

Here’s a bit of life advice. Never trust the remote village that no one has ever heard of, especially if it puts on a pagan celebration that even fewer are aware of. I promise, you’ll thank me later for this. ...

Annabelle Comes Home - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 09 October 2019; Written by Loron Hays

Lucky number seven? Well, just barely. The seventh movie in the ongoing The Conjuring franchise isn’t the best of the series but, hopefully, it will be the final one involving that damn doll. She’s twisted as hell and, as revealed here, is a sort of conduit for all sorts of evil spirits, not just ...

Spider-Man: Far From Home - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 03 July 2019; Written by Christopher Symonds

Making any film is a tricky endeavor, let alone a film in a franchise that shows no duds. Added to which, this latest incarnation has been balanced carefully between ...

Sometimes getting the perfect gift for someone requires a sacrifice. That’s where the horror anthology, Holiday Hell, comes into play. For us, it seems that waiting until the very last minute to get the perfect (and weird) gift for someone is one big payoff with a brand-new horror film ...

The Prey (1984) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 03 October 2019; Written by Loron Hays

If all the padded nature shots won't kill you, then maybe the monster in the woods will! If I told you that this slasher was made in just two weeks, you would probably believe me. Every single detail (and edit for that matter) suggests ...

Stephen King's The Stand - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 04 October 2019; Written by Christopher Symonds

Ca-Ca-Crazy lives here and, if you are anything like me and my warped sensibility, you are gonna love it ...

Joker (2019) - Movie Review

Details: Published: 04 October 2019; Written by Christopher Symonds

Joker was frightening proposition for this reviewer, who has been a lifelong Batman fanatic. Firstly because it presumed to make the focus of its narrative on one of the greatest antagonists in storytelling history, without the hero; secondly because it wasn’t going to stick with ...

Replace - Movie Review

Details: Published: 02 October 2019; Written by Loron Hays

Kira feels alone. She seems to hide herself from the world. In fact, the world she chooses to live in feels slightly unreal; it’s as if it exists locked inside a dream. Everything is diffused in a hazy sort of reality . . . and she doesn’t dare scratch at the fibers ...
