Conjuring 4: Movie Review

Well, it has been a year for horror movies. First, Sinners? Follow that up with Weapons? What an incredible run, and it's not even October yet! (Yes, I reviewed both of those. Yes, you should click the links and check out my thoughts.) But for the average horror-movie fan, no brand hits as hard as … Continue reading Conjuring 4: Movie Review

Movie Review: Weapons

By this point, everyone has heard the incredible backstory of this movie: the bidding war for the rights to produce/direct it; Jordan Peele losing out and immediately firing his representatives; the possible symbolism behind the title Weapons, about a class of elementary kids that go missing. Without a doubt, this movie has been heavily hyped … Continue reading Movie Review: Weapons

Movie Review: Sinners

I finally got a chance to watch the hottest horror movie of the year (and I mean that in multiple ways.)

I didn't know exactly what to … Continue reading Movie Review: Sinners

A Chaotic, Let-Down Launch Week

When The Band came out last week on April 4, I was so excited! I was and still am very proud of this book.

Movie Review: Night Swim

I don't remember which of you told me to watch this movie, but you will not be forgiven. No, but seriously, this is... a movie. I can say that much for sure. So let's get into this. Just how bad is this movie? Is it worth watching? Do I still enjoy pools? All that and … Continue reading Movie Review: Night Swim

Movie Review: Pearl

Last week, I reviewed the first movie in this trilogy, called X. This week, I'm looking at the prequel Pearl, which gives us the origin story for one of the villains in X. Both the original villain and the main character in this movie--same character, just younger--are played by Mia Goth who really carries this … Continue reading Movie Review: Pearl

Movie review: X

We're working our way toward Halloween--yes, it's only mid-July, but I can basically see October from here--and I'm currently writing the sequel to The Silent Forest and finishing that trilogy, so what better way to get back into the Halloween mood than a terrifying trilogy from Ti West? (That being said, I can't review the … Continue reading Movie review: X

Longlegs: Movie Review

I am BACK with some new horror movie reviews, and it's good timing, too. Looking at the rest of this year, it's a loaded slate of new, creepy movies, ranging from mystery and thrillers to straight horror.
