Did Dead Silence Deserve so Much Hate?

Image
  Credit to https://www.themoviebuff.net/2014/10/dead-silence-r/ I have watched Dead Silence years ago, and I thought it was one of the coolest concepts I have seen in the horror genre. The plot was pretty entertaining, and even though there were several cheesy moments, the film was genuinely creepy when it came to the dolls. The kills were gnarly, and the main character had a great motivation with wanting to solve the mystery behind his girlfriend's murder. It was a great film from beginning to end, and I don't understand why this film was criticized so harshly from fans and critics. The main villain is one of the biggest reasons why this film worked so well. An old woman was obsessed with her dolls, including one random doll that looked like Slappy from Goosebumps. I don't really remember why the old lady's spirit started killing people, but her motivation to kill her victims is awesome and terrifying. If you see her and scream, she will bit off your tongue, leaving b...

Moriarty Should Have Been Alive for the Final Season of Sherlock

Image
  Credit to YouTube The Sherlock BBC show has been over for almost a decade now, and the final season received a lot of mixed reactions. While I was thrilled with the final installment, there was one major thing that I felt should have been included in the final season. I kept expecting Moriarty to return. And yes, I know that his character did die in season 2, but there was one theory that I thought was genius.  What if Moriarty had a secret twin brother? And what if he was the one who shot himself on the rooftop with Sherlock during the season finale of season 2? This theory does sound dumb, but this theory actually makes a lot of sense.  And it’s all thanks to a running gag in the show between Sherlock and John. Credit to BBC One — Sherlock, Series 2 During some cases that Sherlock and John are trying to solve, John sometimes assumes that twins are involved in a crime. Sherlock always reassures John that ‘it’s never twins,’ and I honestly thought this gag was some...

Twin Peaks is a Unique Crime Masterpiece of Mystery and Twists

Image
  Credit to Everything you need to know before tonight’s ‘Twin Peaks’ premiere — Los Angeles Times I have finally finished the first season to Twin Peaks, and I have to admit, I haven’t been this addicted to a TV show like this in a long time. The characters, the plot, the multiple betrayals along with twists and turns that I never see coming, including a possible supernatural twist…this season is a masterpiece.  This is also one of the few shows that leaves behind so many unanswered questions with just one season, and the execution is amazing. I finally understand why Twin Peaks is considered to be one of the most popular crime shows ever created. David Lynch and Mark Frost were the perfect duo for this show, along with the cast that each played their parts perfectly well.  I love how the season focused on one murder case, leaving more questions than answers for the viewers. Laura Palmer was discovered dead in the first episode, and this brutal murder leads to the introd...

5 Horror Books that Deserve a Cult Following

Image
  Credit to 5 Real World Benefits of Reading Books I read some pretty random horror novels this time around. I did enjoy the stories immensely; these were some of the best I have read so far in 2026. And one of these books isn’t horror per say, but it was a great read nonetheless! This is one of those rare times where I decided to read random horror genres, and I was so happy with the selection of books I purchased from Barnes & Noble during my last visit.  I wanted to do something different this time with the books. I normally go for disturbing horror or slasher horror. I wanted to pick the most random selection of horror novels, to give myself a different kind of reading experience.  And one of these books happened to be The Godfather, that was a last-minute decision, because I heard this was one of the best books written of all time. (I had heard this bold statement from fans, and I said screw it, since I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, perhaps the book is just as g...

I Have Watched the Strangest Moment in Television History

Image
  Credit to Twin Peaks Episode 2: David Lynch’s Dance of the Dream Man | TV Obsessive I recently watched the ending to episode 3, that showed the strangest sequence in a television show I have ever seen in my life. FBI Agent Dale Cooper claimed that he was having odd dreams, that were helping him solve the case of Laura Palmer, who was found murdered in Twin Peaks. We finally get a glimpse of one of his dreams, and I…am still trying to figure out what the hell I just watched.  I thought David Lynch’s Eraserhead was a weird experience, but this dream sequence is one of the oddest scenes I have seen in my entire life.  I know that I keep repeating myself, but I genuinely do mean this statement.  I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. EVER.  Dale Cooper meets two strangers, and one of them resembles Laura Palmer. But something is wrong.  Credit to Dale Enters the Red Room (S1, E3) | Twin Peaks | SHOWTIME on Paramount+ Dale Cooper finds himself in a red roo...

Gonjiam Haunted Asylum is a Haunting Found Footage Film

Image
  Credit to Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018) — IMDb I had seen this movie years ago, about 4 years ago, I believe. This film traumatized me so much, that I struggled to even watch all of the scenes taking place. This is one of those films I consider to be ‘ugly scary’ which means it scared the shit out of me. This movie messed with my head, and I was afraid of dark spaces for perhaps one day.  Even though it was such a short amount of time, this movie made me question if anything was following me around, and I couldn’t stand this awful feeling. It’s a very simple film, but the scares are so EFFECTIVE.  The way that these people suffered was so uncalled for, and I think only one dude actually deserved it. These young people wanted to do a live broadcast, to get views through YouTube, and become famous. Their asshole boss/leader was a total piece of shit in the movie. I felt that out of all of them, he was the most determined to make his dreams come true, while the rest of th...

Why Josh's Disappearance from the Blair Witch Project Bothers Me So Much

Image
  Credit to ‘Blair Witch’ star blasts ’25 years of disrespect’ amid reboot news While The Blair Witch Project has multiple theories or creepy mysteries that have plagued many horror fans, there is one mystery that scares me the most. Josh is one of the main characters in the film, who travels with the main three who get lost in the woods while filming a project for college.  Wanting to do a project on the Blair Witch goes horribly wrong, and Josh is the first one to either go missing, or be killed offscreen.  And while we don’t see what happens to Heather, or question why Mike was standing in the corner toward the end of the movie, we never get any sort of closure as to what really happened to Josh.  His character goes missing out of nowhere, during the second half of the film.  Credit to The Blair Witch Project Ending: Who Actually Did The Killing? | Cinemablend While the crew was hiding in the tent from another yet awful encounter with the Blair Witch, or...
