Scream Movie Review
January 13, 2022
(updated January 13, 2022)
Published by JMcNaughton
“Scream” is the latest edition of the CSU (Cinematic Scream Universe) that began in 1994. That one was called “Scream”, followed by “Scream 2”. Next came “Scream 3” and after that “Scream 4”. So, now there is movie number five (“5”). And it is called “Scream”. That is the same name used as the first one! Is this is sequel, a remake, a reboot, a reimagining? Is it a ‘re-quel’ (reboot AND a sequel)? It just makes you want to scream!
Antlers Movie Review
October 28, 2021
(updated October 27, 2021)
Published by JMcNaughton
“Antlers” is a horror movie that turns the darkness up to eleven. The dark atmosphere and the dark mood are finely tuned, to give it a really off-kilter feeling. The characters are beset by a supernatural presence that they cannot contain. The bigger picture of Lower Class troubles and Native People issues are mentioned, but not explored. The main dilemma is the monster in the midst of this small Oregon town. And it is ready to kill to get its way…

Halloween Kills Movie Review
October 14, 2021
(updated October 13, 2021)
Published by JMcNaughton
Opens in theaters and on Peacock streaming starting October 15, 2021
“Halloween Kills” is a direct sequel to “Halloween” (2018). This is not to be confused with “Halloween” (1978), because “Halloween” (2018) is a direct follow-up to the 1978 movie. In this new timeline, all the other ‘Halloween’ sequels and follow-up movies did not happen. Now it’s only the 1978 slasher/killer and the babysitter forty years later. In 2018, the slashing and killing started again. So now the stage is set and the knives are sharpened for “Halloween Kills”.

“Madres” is a Blumhouse Television movie that deals with mothers (madres), but with a twist of fear and uncertainty. Mothers, and mothers-to-be, are placed into a deadly place – a place where a curse might be leading to death. When the little farming community in rural California has mostly Mexican immigrants, the women are afraid to become pregnant. There is something in the water, or something in the evil intentions of certain people in the town.

“The Manor” is a Blumhouse Television production that mixes a story of an old-folks home with the supernatural spookiness of “The Wicker Man”, but without the bees. When an elderly lady suffers a stroke, she finds a place of rest and peace living at the Golden Sun Manor. But then she uncovers a world enveloped in ancient rituals that threaten her very existence. She might not be able to tell reality from her own vivid dreams, and those dreams turn into nightmares.
