Deathstalker is a Perfect Homage to Cheesy 80s Horror

Image
  Credit to Deathstalker (2025) | Where to watch streaming and online in Australia | Flicks Deathstalker was released in 2025, and had gained somewhat of a cult following, due to the film being a remake of the original Deathstalker, that was released in 1983. I haven’t seen the original yet, but I think this film is one of the best remakes ever made. The practical effects were top tier; it was like a combination of the Terrifier and the Evil Dead franchise in one movie.  I love how cheesy and dumb the dialogue felt in the movie, the actors did a great job pulling off the feel of an 80s horror movie. The world building was incredible, the monsters that were built for the film were so impressive to look at, I can’t imagine how long it took to pull this movie off! I wish Hollywood would consider going back to the good old times of filmmaking, independent filmmakers have been dominating this year with the horror genre! We follow the story of a man named Deathstalker, who is accide...

Death of the Family Features the Most Deranged Joker in DC

Image
  Credit to How come Joker didn’t bleed out, when he got his face cut off? (Death of the Family) — Gen. Discussion — Comic Vine Death of the Family is one of the few Joker comics that I own. I’m not a huge fan of every Joker comic out there, but this story caught me off guard so much…in the best way. This version of the Joker is a whole other level of evil, willing to do whatever it takes to take down Batman.  This time, he wants to psychologically destroy Batman, and the lengths that he had gone through to pull this insane scheme off…is downright EVIL.  And we know how evil Joker is, but this was a whole other level.  His goal this time around was to ‘murder’ the family of Batman.  He wanted to break apart the family for good, in order to ensure that Batman would always be alone, and only have the Joker left.  He kidnaps the entire main family of Batman, such as: Robin Batgirl Nightwing Red Hood Each family member is psychologically tortured in horrendous ...

La Femme Nikita is a Surprisingly Dark Television Show

Image
  Credit to  Prime Video: La Femme Nikita: The Complete Second Season I'm barely on the first season of La Femme Nikita, and I was expecting this to be your typical spy television show about a woman who becomes an expert spy among her own crew of people. However, this show is much darker than I anticipated. We follow the story of a young woman named Nikita, who is randomly kidnapped by a government program known as the Section, who train people who won't be missed into killer machines. From the very first episode, Nikita expresses a lot of doubt with the Section, feeling like this program is ruthless and unforgiving when it comes to every single mission. Even though the Section is determined to save lives, they are willing to kill several innocents to get the job done, as long as the missions will always go their way. Nikita is like a breathe of fresh air among the crew, she is the only one who is determined to keep her humanity intact, and she is constantly fighting against w...

Trad Wife is One of the Most Brutal Horror Stories of 2026

Image
  Credit to Trad Wife a book by Saratoga Schaefer — Bookshop.org US Trad Wife is the second horror story written by Saratoga Schaefer, and it’s another masterpiece. Saratoga had written Serial Killer Support Group, and it was one of the best horror books I had read in 2025. I think Trad Wife is easily in the top 5 for 2026 so far, and I was blown away by how violent and tragic this story was.  We follow the story of a young woman named Camille, who is living her life as a housewife. She is married to a man named Graham, who is the dream guy. She dreams of starting a family, and is excited to become popular on social media, sharing her life as a mother. Unfortunately, Camille is having trouble with getting pregnant. She wants to try having a baby with Graham, but something is wrong with her husband.  He doesn’t want to even spend time with her anymore, and she is left unhappy for the first time. She gains a friend named Renee, a random neighbor that appears a bit too nosy ...

Gone Girl's Amy Dunne is a Terrifying Twist Villain

Image
  Credit to  'Gone Girl' Movie Feminist or Misogynist? On Cool Girls and Psychopaths Amy Dunne from Gone Girl has always been one of the most mysterious and terrifying villains I have seen in a thriller. The movie goes from a drama/crime to horror when we begin to see Amy's true evil colors throughout the film. From the very beginning of the film, we know something happened to Amy, but we are conflicted with whether or not her husband, Nick Dunne, had anything to do with her sudden disappearance.  Nick Dunne is suspected of her disappearance, and the authorities, including the public, believe he is guilty of what happened to Amy. So much evidence is piling up against him, but it turns out to be a lie, created by Amy. She had learned of Nick's cheating on her with a younger woman, and decided he needed to be punished. She slowly built-up evidence of against him, to craft a plan of faking her death, to make the whole world believe that Nick is a monster that killed his wi...

Peaky Blinders Should Not Continue with a Spinoff

Image
  Credit to Netflix Peaky Blinders is one of the best TV shows ever made, and while I thought the TV show had a perfect ending, I’m still excited to check out the film that was recently released this year. (It was definitely mixed when it came to the ending, I have no idea why, but I think I have an idea how the film ended).  One of the few things I recently heard about Peaky Blinders was a confirmed continuation of the show, turning the show itself into a literal franchise. I have to be honest, I think this show should have permanently ended after the movie.  While the thought of introducing a brand new cast of characters to lead the Peaky Blinders is interesting, it won’t be the same people that the fans have come to love. Thomas Shelby was the heart of the show, and I feel that we got enough of a glimpse into the lives of the Shelby family, when it came to the mafia life that they all lived.  The villains they fought against were also awesome characters, and I’m n...

Inspector Chester Campbell is One of the Most Despicable Villains in Television

Image
  Credit to Download Sam Neill Major Campbell Peaky Blinders Wallpaper | Wallpapers.com Inspector Chester Campell is one of the first villains in Peaky Blinders that is introduced early in the show. His character is at first seen as a ‘hero’ type, when he is determined to take down the Peaky Blinders. He hires a young woman named Grace, to infiltrate the gang, and gain information to take down the mafia family for good.  However, we begin to see a much darker side of the Inspector, showing the viewers that perhaps the Peaky Blinders really aren’t a big deal compared to this monster.  He is revealed to be a crooked cop, that delights in having power for others. He falls in love with Grace, and becomes extremely angry and jealous when he learns that she is falling love with Thomas Shelby, the leader of the Peaky Blinders. He attempts to murder her when he realizes that she will never love him, and she retaliates, shooting him before he can kill her.  Campbell recovers ...
