Directed by: Michael Tiddes Starring: Marlon Wayans, Anna Faris, Regina Hall Go Horror Rating: C I'm being very generous with the 'C' rating because I'm a huge fan of the series and I was happy to have it come back. Truth is, it was pretty bad. The Wayans', Faris, Hall, and Keegan were all cool but the OG cameos were done so poorly. The parodies were terrible and the jokes were cringey as shit (and not in some sort of modern-woke-inthiseconomy type way). I was hoping for off-side and witty, but it was just rehashed lolz from the 2000s that were somehow delivered in a worse manner. I'll be honest, though, I thought Keegan was legitimately Faris' daughter. She nailed it and they had some wicked chemistry. The Wayans cashed in but I hope it's over for good now. I can't possibly trust this series to bounce back from this.

Directed by: Mimi Cave Starring: Daisy Edgar-Jones, Sebastian Stan, Jojo T. Gibbs Go Horror Rating: B This movie was certainly a good time, but lacked any real charm or chemistry. Noa (Daisy Edgar-Jones) looks 19 and Steve (Sebastian Stan) looks 47. He looked like an upscaled Ted Bundy and what sucks is, I don't think it was on purpose. Noa played her role great, although stumbled through parts where she had to act with-no-ass. There was a good sense of believability as Noa navigated through the modern dating scene and an accurate depiction of the single life. The swipe culture or meat-market, for most people (especially women), is a perpetual grind. Balancing fears and impatience is at the forefront and Cave does a good job at slapping you in the face for letting your guard down. I appreciated how the movie effectively sprinkled in the gore, comedy, and suspense but I also think the movie was about 20 minutes too long. Everyone loves some twists, but here they felt a little aspirant and ultimately hollow. Fresh is still a good movie with lots to enjoy and Mimi Cave is a director to keep your eye on.

Directed by: Stacey Gregg Starring: Andrea Riseborough, Jonjo O'Neill, Niamh Dornan Go Horror Rating: C An ambitious and admirable debut from Gregg, but the twist and ending were too much of a reach to leave any real impact. Laura (Riseborough) delivered and was far-and-away the main reason this movie succeeded. I almost think that a store-bought ending would have benefited the movie more. The unraveling and dread of a mother and family who've lost a child isn't a groundbreaking concept, but takes near-perfect execution to stand out from the pack. A gaslighting and secretive husband with a touch of spiritual and psychological darkness all work well together but that's about as far as this movie goes. It was enjoyable to watch... once.

Directed by: Steven Soderbergh Starring: Zoe Kravitz, Byron Bowers, Devin Ratray Go Horror Rating: B Soderbergh delivers just the right amount of intensity but unfortunately, the movie closes out in just 'acceptable' fashion. The movie plays on some fears and does a good job at showcasing the good and bad of a digital society. It didn't overplay it but definitely captured enough to make this story flow. Crisp frames, tense chase scenes, and tight dialogue/character interaction all added to making this movie well-worth watching, it's just not quite excellent. But damn... if Angela puts one more bottle on the edge of a counter like that, or if Yuri types on that keyboard like a dork one more time... I'm going to absolutely lose it.

Ah yes, David North's ludicrous creation of a show is back with a new episode called 'Post Man'. In a world of desolation, Salad Fingers is up to his usual creepiness. Hold onto your asses, this one's got death, decay, emotional fuckery, and a little cameo from an old Salad Fingers character.

Directed by: Jeremiah Kipp Starring: August Maturo, Mike Manning, Libe Barer Go Horror Rating: C I liked it, but that's as far as I can go. The bullying aspect and the presentation of a fractured relationship between brothers is great, but there are too many dull moments that keep this film from standing out. Anna (Libe Barer) did a great job at invoking a feeling of bleakness, and Lucas (August Maturo) as a lonely, conflicted kid, also had a pretty awesome performance. You feel the pain and trauma in this movie, it just doesn't provide a lasting impression.

Directed by: David Blue Garcia Starring: Sarah Yarkin, Elsie Fisher, Mark Burnham Go Horror Rating: D Aside from some solid kills, this movie is a bumbling mess. Poorly timed and delivered lines, subplots that are entirely pointless, brutal use of sound and tension, and a total waste of scenery. A franchise with so many elements to create or build off of, it almost takes more effort to make a new film this bad.

Directed by: Kane Parsons Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass Go Horror Rating: B This young buck, Kane Parsons, has a bright future to say the least. I loved the creepiness of the colours and empty space. I loved the themes of struggling with reality and identity, and the unease that each room brought. This movie (and futures) only succeed if things stay up for interpretation. The back and forth with feeling Reinsve's trauma and Ejiofor's desperation and guilt built up a certain tension that's hard to put into words. It took a few days for me to figure out how I felt about the movie. In the end I think it was really good but feel there were some glaring issues. Large gaps in time, not the greatest insertion as far as Async goes and an ending the ever-so-slightly fumbles.

Directed by: Andre Ovredal Starring: Jacob Scipio, Lou Llobell, Melissa Leo Go Horror Rating: B A lot of familiarities with this movie but the execution was reasonably tight. It has strong leads and a modestly unique story, even though it's not re-inventing the wheel. The good parts heavily outweighed the cliche parts and I very much felt entertained. I might be in the minority here but I think the movie was pretty damn good.

Directed by: Mark O'Brien Starring: Sheila McCarthy, Georgina Reilly, Mark O'Brien Go Horror Rating: D A film about family trauma, possession and the supernatural. Predictable and familiar, it unravelled at times and left me feeling bored for most of it.
