The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - June 3rd, 2021 - Movie Reviews

This third trip into the horrifying unknown with Ed and Lorraine Warren is a tedious bit of supernatural déjà vu, all of which has me starting to wonder if maybe it’s time for this series to give up the ghost and call it a day.

Writer and director John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place Part II hits the ground running, quickly reminding viewers how Evelyn and her children survived as well as the stakes involved if any of them takes a single misplaced step.

The Djinn (2021)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - May 13th, 2021 - Movie Reviews

I cannot say The Djinn did much for me. Its malevolent spell sadly doesn’t last, and if I had one wish for Charbonier and Powell, it’s that for the next magic trick they conjure up to be something a bit more imaginatively unique.

Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - May 13th, 2021 - Movie Reviews

For all the talk that Spiral was going to take things in a new direction, even with A-list stars like Rock and Jackson on hand for the ride this film still follows a template so similar to the original series it ends up being less of a spin-off or a reboot and more a random ninth entry in the franchise.

Mortal Kombat (2021)

If Mortal Kombat lived up to the beauteous butchery of its bookends, this would be the greatest video game-to-film adaptation ever made.

Boys from County Hell (2020)

hris Baugh’s raucous Boys from County Hell is a delightfully goofy horror-comedy filled with its fair share of blood and guts.

The Banishing (2020)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - April 21st, 2021 - Movie Reviews

Can a 30-second scene right at the tail-end of a motion picture derail what had been up to that point 90 minutes of solidly creepy, emotionally authentic old-school haunted house fun? The Banishing sure made me ponder that exact question.
