THE STRANGERS: PREY AT NIGHT REVIEW

(Spoiler alert) A family staying in a secluded mobile home park for the night are visited by three masked psychopaths, to test their every limit. Starring: Christina Hendricks, Bailee Madison, and Martin Henderson Directed by: Johannes Roberts Written by: Bryan Bertino and Ben Ketai   After watching “ The Strangers ,” I was inspired to write horror because I thought they did such an excellent job with a simple idea. Well that was many years ago, and I’m obviously not a horror writer just horror reviewer. Regardless, I’ve always held “ The Strangers ” in high regard because of how it inspired me, and couldn’t be happier to finally get a sequel. Unfortunately, I can’t say “The Strangers: Prey at Night” inspired me in the same way, and here’s why.    The sequel starts off much like the original did introducing the audience to characters who are having a conflict amongst themselves. This time around Cindy (Christina Hendricks) and her husband Mike ...

INSIDIOUS: THE LAST KEY REVIEW

Parapsychologist Dr. Elise Rainier faces her most fearsome and personal haunting yet - in her own family home. Starring: Lin Shaye, Leigh Whannell, and Angus Sampson Directed by: Adam Robitel Written by: Leigh Whannell   When “ Insidious ” premiered in 2010, it seemed like this was going to lead to big things, and it sort of did. Some arguably good movies followed like “ The Conjuring ,” “ Annabelle ,” and their sequels. It has also led to several of it’s own sequels, and now “Inisidious: The Last Key.” So lets begin the argument over the latest chapter in this franchise!   For “ Insidious: Chapter 3 ,” they decided to go the prequel route, and it turned out alright. It would make audiences think that this sequel would open a new chapter for this franchise. Unfortunately it doesn’t because The Last Key is yet another prequel. Seriously, how many prequels does a franchise need, especially one with only three movies under its belt?    This ti...

ANOTHER WOLFCOP REVIEW

Alcoholic werewolf cop Lou Garou springs into action when an eccentric businessman with evil intentions seduces Woodhaven’s residents with a new brewery and hockey team in this outrageous horror-comedy sequel. Starring: Leo Fafard, Amy Matysio, and Jonathan Cherry Directed and written by: Lowell Dean   There are movies made for certain audiences and that can definitely be said for horror comedies. Horror fans will be down for the horror, but it’s the comedy that will make or break it. “ Wolfcop ” was a hit in my eyes, so there was no hesitation in deciding to watch “Another Wolfcop.” However, if you hated “ Wolfcop ” (maybe you needed some liquor donuts before watching) then “Another Wolfcop” and this review might not be for you.   Obviously it’s great to see several of the characters back again especially Wolfcop (Leo Fafard). The movie opens with a crazy car chase scene leaving a path of destruction only Wolfcop could produce in this small town. Tina (Am...

HAPPY DEATH DAY REVIEW

A college student relives the day of her murder with both its unexceptional details and terrifying end until she discovers her killer’s identity. Starring: Jessica Rothe, Israel Broussard, and Ruby Modine Directed by: Christopher Landon Written by: Scott Lobdell    Many years ago Bill Murray starred in a comedy called “Groundhog Day,” where he was forced to live the same day over and over again. Now comes “Happy Death Day,” where a college student named Tree (Jessica Rothe) is forced to live her birthday over and over. While both end up stuck in their own day from hell, at least Bill wasn’t being chased by a murderer. This is what Tree is forced to overcome in order to live to the day after her birthday day.   Knowing that this is a horror movie where someone is going to die time after time is exciting. There are so many possibilities there, and opportunities for plenty of blood. However the PG-13 bug bites again, and many of the deaths are cut sho...

JEEPERS CREEPERS 3 REVIEW

Sheriff Dan Tashtego and a team of creeper hunters enlist the help of officer Davis Tubbs to help stop the monsters eating spree. Starring: Gina Philips, Meg Foster, and Jonathan Breck      It takes 23 years before the Creeper (Jonathan Breck) comes back to feed. Too bad it has felt like 23 years since the last Jeepers Creepers movie. Reason after reason has delayed this movie, but it’s finally here. So was the extremely long wait worth it?   In “Jeepers Creepers” the audience got to see the Creeper drive an odd looking vehicle that intimidated Trish and Darry. This time around the vehicle does a lot more than just intimidate people. Instead of the Batmobile, think of this as the Deathmobile. It does an effective job of keeping his victims (food) inside, and keeping others out. And the best part for the Creeper, he doesn’t even have to be around for it to work!   So while his vehicle is cool, audiences came to see the Creeper kill, and not his...

MOTHER! REVIEW

A couple’s relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence. Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, and Ed Harris Directed and written by: Darren Aronofsky   Oh “Mother!” this has to be one of the strangest movies I’ve seen. You might be wondering why I even bothered seeing it. Besides the need to see another horror movie (shocking), I was just curious about story, and how it would end. Sometimes it’s fun to see a movie, and guess where it’s going.    So where did this movie ultimately end? Well if you want to play the guessing game like me I suggest you stop reading here. For those who are ready for tons of spoilers, here we go! This is one of those movies that shows you a scene at the beginning that the ending comes back to. Why movies keep doing this I don’t know. This one presents a slight and almost unnoticeable change to it at the end. I’ll just say notice her face.   But there’s a...
