A family is forced to live in silence while hiding from creatures that hunt by sound. Starring: Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, and Millicent Simmonds Directed by: John Krasinski Written by: Bryan Woods, Scott Beck, and John Krasinski     It’s nice when a movie like “ IT ” approaches with lots of buzz, and it meets most of the high expectations. But do you know what’s even better? When a much lesser known movie premieres, creates lots of positive reviews, and horror fans flock to see what all the fuss is about. I was one of those horror fans, and here’s what I thought about “A Quiet Place.”   The Abbott family is forced like many to live a quiet life. Any loud sounds and creatures, who hunt extremely well by sound, come quickly running in for the kill. This becomes clear in the opening scene, where the family loses one of their own. The opening scene gives the audience just a taste of what the family is up against, and sets a terrific tone what’s to c...

A harmless game of Truth or Dare among friends turns deadly when someone - - or something - - begins to punish those who tell a lie or refuse the dare. Starring: Lucy Hale, Tyler Posey, and Violett Beane Directed by: Jeff Wadlow Written by: Jillian Jacobs, Michael Reisz, Jeff Wadlow, and Christopher Roach   I can’t say I’ve ever played Truth or Dare so how about a little test run. Dare: To watch “Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare.” Done! Truth: Was the movie any good? The truth… well I’m going to have to dare you to read on for the truth!   Olivia (Lucy Hale) and Markie (Violett Beane) are best friends, and that friendship gets tested after what is supposed to be a harmless game of Truth or Dare. However, this game comes with a curse, and they have now taken it home with them. Unknown to the two of them and their friends, they now have to answer truthfully, do the dare, or die. This tests the group because they know some damning secrets about each other.  ...

(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 ...

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...

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...

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...
