Although the date Friday the 13th had superstitious connotations long before this franchise was created, it has since become synonymous with arguably one of the most recognizable and iconic horror movie slashers to date. Nearly four decades after Friday the 13th first crossed the silver screen and there are talks of a new reboot of […]

Happy Death Day (2017)
This is my 100th movie review! Thank you to those who have stuck with me, and welcome to those who are just now joining me. It’s been a weird, rough, exciting, disturbing journey to get here and I hope the ride it just as unpredictable over the next 100 movie reviews. Some of you might […]
The Babysitter (2017)
A 12-year-old boy, Cole, is amorously infatuated with his teenage babysitter, Bee, because he’s a 12-year-old boy and because she’s wildly inappropriate around him. The plot set-up is very contrived and requires no mental dexterity, so if you’re looking for a movie to do anything but require you to sit and drool, this film isn’t […]
Amityville: The Awakening (2017)
We all know the story behind “The Amityville Horror” and we’ve all seen the many, many movies that followed the classic film from 1979. While most films have taken place in that same cinematic universe as the original, or have chosen to “reboot” the original, this film has decided to make itself a more unique […]
Leatherface (2017)

Things turn dark when an intruder breaks into his home, leaving Luke with no option but to stand and defend the woman he loves. […]
Mother! (2017)
Jennifer Lawrence plays the quiet, soft-spoken half of a couple who’s only interested in spending time with the other half of the relationship – Javier Bardem, but that time is abruptly intruded upon by strangers who constantly show up unannounced at their home. Tension builds as Jennifer just wants the strangers to leave – as […]
Cult of Chucky (2017)
Picking up almost immediately after the events of Curse of Chucky, “Cult” opens with the falsely accused Nica being transferred to a medium-security asylum for the criminally insane. Considering this is the seventh film in the franchise, I believe it goes without saying that I’m writing this review under the assumption that you’ve seen the […]
IT (2017)
27 years after the release of Stephen King’s “IT” television mini-series, the maniacal dancing clown is finally brought to life on the big screen. Filling the shoes of Tim Curry’s Pennywise from the 90’s TV series is Bill Skarsgard – and boy, does he do one hell of a job. Considering the love the original […]
