Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a Worthy Addition to the Franchise

Image
  Credit to  Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: Bringing ’80s Movie Magic to a 2024 Game - Xbox Wire I never thought we would ever get a great Indiana Jones story again. After the last two films didn't do so hot with fans, I thought that would be it for the franchise entirely. Then I was shocked to learn about a new story being added to the franchise, a videogame that features Troy Baker as Indiana Jones. I had some doubts about Troy Baker playing such an iconic character, but I found myself impressed with how well he was able to pull of Harrison Ford's voice.  That was my only doubt about the game, and I knew that I had to somehow get my hands on playing this game one day. I eventually purchased the game around late 2025, and once I started to play the game, I couldn't stop. The story was so immersive, and it really felt like I was watching an actual Indiana Jones movie! The way that the game was made was pretty cool, it's a simple game that really sucks you into the ...

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is Diabolical Madness

Image
  Credit to 28 Years Later sequel releases chilling first-look trailer | Radio Times I was beyond thrilled to finally watch 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, and I think this is going to be one of the best horror movies of 2026. Hell, it already deserves the title of horror movie of the year, but we still got even more horror movies in store for the rest of the year!  The Bone Temple is everything you want in a horror movie, and it’s one of the best experiences I have had with a horror film in a theater. I had watched the film in XD, and I was not expecting the film to be so freaking loud. It definitely added to the experience, and damn, I was both disgusted and shocked with the events that take place in the sequel! We are introduced to another reign of terror, that ends with a powerful sign of hope, that perhaps suggests that humanity is indeed not too far gone. WARNING: I don’t normally give out spoiler warnings, but in this case, I’m going to issue one. This film deserves to...

28 Days Later is the Perfect Example of What Happens to Humanity During the End of the World

Image
  Credit to  28 Days Later (2002) | The Definitives | Deep Focus Review I have seen so many films that focus on the downfall of humanity during the end of the world, and I think the first film in the franchise of 28 Days Later, is one of the best. We get a small glimpse of how the ‘zombie’ virus spread, and it quickly infected the entire world. Only very few people survived, and we meet our main character of the story, a young man named Jim, who wakes up in a hospital. He wanders an empty London, finding only the infected, along with several survivors that he quickly befriends. He travels with a young woman, along with a father and daughter, who are determined to search for any sign of hope in the world. They do find this certain hope, when they run into a small group of soldiers who save Jim and his crew from the father in the group, who unfortunately becomes infected. Right when you start to think that they are probably safe, Jim learns a disturbing truth about the soldiers....

Is The Mummy Remake Focusing on a Theme of Family Horror?

Image
  Credit to  The Mummy (2026) Teaser Trailer: Lee Cronin’s Dark Twist on the Classic Horror Monster I finally got to watch the teaser trailer to The Mummy remake, directed by the same dude who did Evil Dead Rise. After watching the trailer, I think I have an idea of what this movie is going to be about. From the looks of the chaos that we see in the trailer, I think a family is going to make a huge mistake.  They are going to use dark magic to bring their daughter back from the dead, that will lead to their bloody downfall.  I love how different the remake is to the original black and white Mummy, and the action-adventure film with Brendan Fraser. It truly feels like a completely different reimaging, and I can't wait to watch it! I also find it so interesting that we are getting the same horror theme that we got in Evil Dead Rise. My theory is that this director is going to be known for having families in his horror films, and it's definitely an original story choice...

I Thought I Saw the Same Girl in 2 Different Places at Once

And I didn’t really get enough sleep, but I got enough for me to function in the morning. I should have avoided going on my phone during the night to watch horror stuff, but I couldn’t help it.  The horror fan in me loves watching this kind of content…which maybe isn’t healthy…because I have no idea how to explain what the hell I just saw… I got to work, and I had a no...

I Love Watching Horror Movies with Bad Acting

Image
  Credit to https://www.tvguide.com/movies/the-love-witch/2000227988/ One thing that I feel is always overlooked with horror movies, is the use of 'bad acting' in horror movies. I love it when horror films purposely have this weird acting method in their stories. Directors have claimed that they use bad acting as a way to keep the audience captivated. I think it has worked quite well, but of course, you need the perfect director to make this work. It isn't easy to pull this kind of writing skill off, and I think two horror movies were able to execute this method perfectly. One of these movies is The Love Witch, that was released in 2016. The director claimed that she was trying to capture the same acting magic that the old school movies used to do back in the 70s. What's crazy, is that this movie literally looks like it came straight from the 70s.

True Crime/Horror Scares Me

Image
  Credit to https://cultspark.com/2015/06/22/five-moments-true-detective-first-season/ While Lovecraft or body horror is considered to be one of the best genres in horror, I think fictional true crime horror deserves to be in the same category. What makes this kind of horror scary, is that these stories can happen in real life. Reality horror is the worst kind, and the thought of monsters living in human skin while blending into our society is horrible to imagine.  One specific show that I have yet to watch, and have heard amazing things about, is the very first season of True Detective. I have heard so many horror fans claim that this is one of the best first season wonders, that is seen as a perfect story.  The one thing that fans have pointed out so many times, is the use of a cult that appears in season one.  I don't remember what the cult is called, but they are depicted as pure evil in the show. Two detectives are determined to catch these monsters, once they l...
