Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets—what can be said that hasn’t already been spilled across decades of reviews, essays, and retrospectives? It’s not your typical gangster flick, and that’s putting it lightly. No glamorous mafioso sitting on a leather chair pontificating over loyalty and honor. No guns blazing in some operatic, slow-motion ballet. This is something messier,…
Joker: Folie à Deux isn’t your run-of-the-mill superhero flick. No capes, no cosmic battles, no easy morality. In fact, it’s hard to even call it a superhero movie at all. The same can be said of the first Joker—which this film builds upon, but not in a way fans might expect. Instead of delivering another…
Sometimes, a movie pops up that messes around with your expectations, catching you off guard in ways you didn’t even know you wanted. It’s What’s Inside, directed by Greg Jardin, is one of those films. It’s more than just a typical horror flick — it’s a ride that blends tension and laughter, thrills and confusion,…
When you press play on Apartment 7A, it feels like stepping into familiar territory. Horror fans might recognize the echoes of a bygone classic, while the average viewer will sense a blend of the eerie and the unsettling. It’s not a film that reinvents the genre. Instead, it lingers in the shadows of its predecessor,…
The Universal Theory is one of those films that’s hard to pin down. It’s a strange mix of ideas, influences, and aesthetics that somehow manages to entertain without ever quite finding its footing. Set in the Swiss Alps in 1962, the story is centered around the possibility of a rift in reality, a tear in…
Jason Yu’s Sleep is a movie that doesn’t just get under your skin—it settles in your mind, nestling deep in the cracks of your thoughts and staying there long after the screen goes dark. It’s not your typical horror fare, and it doesn’t want to be. For a film that uses a cramped apartment as…
Okay, Salem’s Lot. A name that echoes through the corridors of vampire lore, a Stephen King staple that’s been haunting shelves since 1975. So when a new adaptation comes along, you get excited—maybe even a little nervous. Especially when it’s a vampire movie trying to tap into a very specific vein of horror, one that’s…
Hold Your Breath is one of those horror movies that you expect might surprise you, but when you sit down and start watching, it keeps you guessing for the wrong reasons. The question of “What is this movie really trying to be?” pops up again and again, and by the end, you’re still left hanging….
When I first settled into watching The Night Manager, I didn’t quite know what to expect. Sure, it came highly recommended—Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston, the charm of spy thrillers, and the ever-reliable allure of John le Carré’s storytelling. But what caught me off guard wasn’t just the sleek suspense or the high-octane plot. There’s…
When I first stumbled across Blue Lights, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Another police drama? We’ve all seen more than our fair share, right? But within the first few minutes of the opening episode, I found myself caught in that rare moment where the world around you fades away, and suddenly you’re fully immersed…
