Heretic Movie Review
November 7, 2024
(updated November 7, 2024)
Published by JMcNaughton
“Heretic” is a harrowing visit with a demented version of Mr. Rogers — someone who has that soothing soft-spoken charm and demeanor, plus the spot-on cardigan sweater. But behind the warm and cozy living room with the scented candles there exists a very different agenda. After a toxic session of “mansplaining”, the evil intentions become clear… Read more
HERE Movie Review

This movie could be considered dark for some. That’s the impression you’re left with as you walk out of the theater. It’s dark, depressing, and sad, but in a good way, if that makes sense.

But that doesn’t mean that some of the events and interactions are not going to be down and dirty… Read more
Goodrich Movie Review
Though there was some redundancy, and you get the feeling that the writing could have left out some talking down to you as if you don’t “get it,” this excellent film was perfectly cast. It’s a tale you’ve been told before, but it shouldn’t be missed.
Smile 2 Movie Review
October 17, 2024
(updated October 17, 2024)
Published by JMcNaughton
“Smile 2” is a horror movie that continues with the same features as the first movie (“Smile”). This movie is effectively disturbing, or perhaps just disturbingly effective. The idea of a nameless demon monster, the “Smile Entity”, which can transfer from one person to another person is scary. Plus — the ‘infected’ person gives a future ‘host’ a patented “Creepy Smile”, just before they kill themselves. Would that be ‘Smile-icide’? Read more
