Honest review of films and games
Honest review of films and games
Read Time: 2 minutesIts a mediocre thriller movie, very basic and nothing that would make me do a second watch. Everything was left on the screen, there isn't anything that would make you think otherwise—which I think is something that's lacking in modern movies. I'd honestly watch Cocaine Bear (2023) five times continuously than rewatch this again.
Read Time: 2 minutesIt was a good watch and definitely recommending it if you're into old (erotic) films. It makes you realize how far acting, effects, and storytelling have come. Les Démoniaques is about sexual violence, pleasure, greed, loss, death and revenge, yet it tells the story of how everything comes around.
Read Time: 3 minutesThe American is not your usual crime action flick with guns blazing, front-door-kicking in your face firefight, rather it is a proper storytelling of a man's struggle. It's sort of a counterpart of The House That Jack Built under the horror genre. The music paired with each scene was perfect and it was definitely an experience. Highly recommended.
Read Time: 3 minutesLike I said from the beginning, THE BEST Dracula iteration by far. Gary Oldman carried this classic with his accurate depiction of the said character. All other film elements came together and formed this perfect dark being named Bram Stoker's Dracula. For a more recent/modern release, Nosferatu featuring Bill Skarsgard is also a great choice.
Read Time: 3 minutesTogether (2025) is an awesome body horror film following The Ugly Stepsister (2025). It turns the most precious thing, Love, into the most horrifying thing you could ever think of. Definitely on my top 5 body horror for 2025. Highly recommended.
Read Time: 2 minutesDon't have anything to watch tonight? Delirium is a good pick, honestly a good psychological horror thriller. It felt like a lovechild test version of The Shining and Shutter Island, but it never came close to any of those two.
Read Time: 3 minutesDisney+ Fresh delivers in all aspects. From the chemistry between Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar-Jones, the laughter they shared and the music they danced to—to the horror that ensued. Fresh is a good starting point for beginner horror fans, its not too much, but its enough to get your heartrate up. Highly recommended.
Read Time: 3 minutesMarvel has been going downhill as of late, specially since End Game finished and we got other hero movies that just plain sucked. I honestly thought Thunderbolts would be different, I mean it was, but still the same old sucky and predictable storytelling.
Read Time: 3 minutes28 Years Later was a long awaited sequel most fans of the franchise have waited for, but as most sequels that are being released recently, this one felt unnecessary. Its supposed to be a "reset" of the franchise and a start of a new trilogy, so let's see. So far, Bring Her Back and Weapons are my top 2 pick for horror in 2025.
Read Time: 3 minutesThe premise is original and it always intrigues me when the movie has no definite antagonist, much like 2012 (2009) and Contagion (2011). Where humanity's greatest threat is amongst themselves. If you can overlook the gaps in logic, its a pretty good sci-fi flick. Definitely recommending this.
Read Time: 4 minutesWicked For Good was a good closing to the Broadway film adaptation, but it felt incomplete at times. Some scenes felt like unnecessary fillers where if you cut them out, you could easily fit it all in a 3-hour plus movie. My suggestion, just wait for it to become available on streaming services, its not worth falling in line for and definitely not worth the IMAX experience.
Read Time: 3 minutesIf you're going into this expecting something like Anaconda (1997), you might as well skip it. Anaconda Cursed Jungle will not satisfy that creature feature cravings you're having, as with most modern horror being released, this relied too much on CGI and you will not feel that fight or flight urge that most horror films are known for. Its a good weekday night flick, but not to make time for.
Read Time: 3 minutesThe poster for Clown of the Dead was very well made, unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations of it. The clown himself was more of a creep than a killer. He's not as scary as one would think, and it was the biggest let down aside from the crappy dialogue. Another recent clown horror genre released was Clown in a Cornfield (2025), also a skippable flick but much better than this one.
Read Time: 2 minutesIt was a meh movie. Curse of the Necklace is a mediocre level 90s B-movie horror, but not like those golden B-horrors like Braindead (1992). Dark Harvest (2023) was even more watchable than this.
Read Time: 3 minutesBring Her Back (2025) and Weapons are by far my top picks for horror this 2025. Weapons had a fresh take on how to tell the story, it might've been a gamble, but it was so worth it. I loved every bit of it, specially the heart stopping musical score. Highly recommended.
Read Time: 3 minutesThis was a great watch in my opinion, Birth/Rebirth made me fall in love with the genre even more. Its sci-fi subtle horror at its finest, probably one of the best ending twists I've seen this year.
Read Time: 3 minutesUntold tells the story of the untold on the news channel Untold. The title fits perfectly as the movie should never have been told in the first place. Crappy dialogue with annoying forced comedic moments. A very forgettable flick. Skip it.
Read Time: 3 minutesIt's honestly an enjoyable ride, but I'm thankful I didn't have to pay to watch it. It doesn't even feel like it deserved a theatrical release. Regardless, it was a nice gore flick with great use of dark humor. Honestly, the only thing that got me going were the d3ath scenes.
Read Time: 3 minutesThe Exorcism of Emily Rose is definitely one of the best horror films that came out during the 2000s. You could feel the terror in Carpenter's eyes and her voice. Perfect casting for a great storyline.
Read Time: 3 minutesA great Filipino-made cult horror movie with proper use of practical effects blended perfectly with an unnerving music score that builds up the tension. Great choice for a midnight watch.
