Pearl is a Wicked and Horrific Start to a Memorable Horror Trilogy

Image
  Credit to  Halloween Horror: Pearl (2022) — 3 Brothers Film Have you ever been so impressed by and scared of a character at the same time? Mia Goth pulls off such a likable character with terrifying tendencies of murder and mayhem. Pearl  is actually a prequel to one of my favorite horror films,  X , and is the middle chapter in a trilogy. This trilogy was directed by Ti West, and it featured Mia Goth playing two different characters, as both the antagonist and the protagonist in this trilogy. The prequel starts off Mia as the villain, Pearl. Unlike the protagonist, Maxine, that has her dreams come true, Pearl isn’t exactly given the same happy ending. If it hadn’t been for her killer self, maybe she would have had a chance in the ‘star world.’ Instead, we are given a total downfall of Pearl embracing her monstrous side, killing anyone that stands in her way. Pearl is determined to leave the farm and start a new life elsewhere, but her present life consumes her. I’...

'X' Brings Back the Old-School 70s Slasher that Doesn’t Hold Back on the Gore and Kills

  Credit to  jenna ortega's scream in x (2022) I remember the first time I had seen the original  The Texas Chainsaw Massacre . The feeling that I felt was pure dread, and I was in shock the first time I had seen the film. I didn’t think I would ever be able to experience that kind of tension again. Then, Ti West brought a modern masterpiece to horror fans, taking place in the ’70s. The story follows a girl named Maxine, who is traveling with a group of people who are determined to film a movie. I won’t say what kind of movie…because it’s uh… crazy. Let’s just say… they are determined to make an art project. Yeah, let’s go with that. The crew decides that they want to be film their movie on a property that is owned by an old couple. Right off the bat, the audience is aware that something is weird. The old lady, Pearl, is kind of creepy. She fancies Maxine in a uh…really disturbing way. And her husband, Howard, is kind of a major jerk. While Maxine is already aware of the ...

I'm Going to the Movie Theater Again

  Credit to Woman Watching a Movie Holding a Box of Popcorn · Free Stock Photo I’m so excited to begin going to the movie theaters again this month. It feels like it’s been forever since I have seen a movie on the big screen, I feel like I have missed out on so much.  But in reality, it has only been a month without cinema.  Ever since the flood happened in April, I felt like it’s been months of hell…it was a frustrating time for my family and I, but now it’s over. It’s crazy that much time hasn’t passed at all. I’m not exaggerating when I say this, but it feels like I haven’t been to the theater in a year.  I’ve only been away from the big screen since March.  Now I’m going back to watch each of these films in theaters right now: Final Destination: Bloodlines (I’m freaking excited to watch this movie. I can’t believe the reviews the film got, it’s amazing to see that this horror franchise has come back so strong!) 2. Sinners (It sucks that I know the main plot ...

“Possession” Features One of the Worst Demonic Possessions I Have Ever Seen

Image
  Credit to  POSSESSION | The Beacon It’s rare for horror movies to bother the hell out of me, but  Possession  was one of the few that took me out. In other words, this movie made me extremely uncomfortable during my first watch. I think it had to do with the fact that I watched this movie at a bad time. I had started watching  Possession  back in 2022, and I was sick with COVID while watching this film. I actually wasn’t that sick, but I still felt out of it. I think I was, like, a 4/10 at most. I was also kind of stressed out while watching this film because I had been attending online summer college courses around that time, too. So, it was definitely a bad idea to watch this movie while going through both of those things at the same time lol. Possession  is about two people named Anna and Mark, who go from being a normal married couple with a son, to a full-on nightmare. Once Anna reveals to Mark that she is having an affair, she leaves Mark and h...
