Today I'm reviewing "Anora," a 2024 romantic comedy-drama film written, directed, and edited by Sean Baker. It stars Mikey Madison, Mark Eydelshteyn, Yura Borisov, Karren Karagulian, Vache Tovmasyan, and Aleksei Serebryakov.

Who knew that a sequel to Tim Burton's 1988 horror comedy classic "Beetlejuice" would end up being the director's best movie in years. Of course, that's a pretty low bar to cross with films like 2010's "Alice in Wonderland" and 2019's "Dumbo" burdening the filmmaker's legacy, but the hilariously titled "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" marks a surprisingly engaging return to Burton's darker and quirkier fantasy films that built his reputation.

In this age of Blumhouse assembly line productions, very little surprises me when it comes to films that deal with hauntings and possessions. And yet, along comes a little movie like "Talk to Me", the feature film directorial debut of Australian twin YouTubers Danny and Michael Philippou aka RackaRacka, that sets out to recalibrate the horror genre for the age of social media and taps into primal fears that resonate with a 21st century audience.

It seems 2024 was the year of the M. Night Shyamalan family. His daughter Saleka made her musical and acting debut in the filmmaker's new film "Trap", and earlier this year, her sister Ishana Night Shyamalan, made her writing and directing debut with "The Watchers", a horror film that her father produced. Unfortunately, despite a modest $30 million budget, "The Watchers" ended up being a box-office misfire, raking in just $33 million worldwide.

The Australian film "Sting" is a loving tribute to classic creature features and 1980s horror flicks. Written and directed by Kiah Roache-Turner ("Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead"), the film is a one-location thrill ride set in a New York Apartment Building where Charlotte (Alyla Brown), a precocious 12-year-old girl finds an itsy bitsy spider of alien origins and keeps it as her pet. Unfortunately, the tiny arachnid grows into a gigantic murderous beast that begins to feast on the building's residents.

Today I'm reviewing Netflix "Don't Move" a horror-thriller film starring Kelsey Asbille, Finn Wittrock and Daniel Francis. It was directed by Adam Schindler and Brian Netto, and written by T.J. Cimfel and David White.

I don’t like The Godfather II. I felt that it jumped between the Vito and Michael storylines to much. I mean Michael story really didn’t need anymore telling. I think the 2nd one should have been about Vito and the 3rd one should have been about Michael story from the 2nd one. I know I know it’s a cult classic but still. I felt that it didn’t need to be a sequel since there were no strings left untied pun intended. But what is your opinion on the movie

I never thought much of "The Omen" as a horror franchise. The sequels were pretty bad compared to the original, but I suppose they've grown a cult following through the years. However, not enough, it seems, because the 2024 prequel "The First Omen" fizzled at the box office. Despite being the first decent movie in a series that got progressively worse with each installment, it nevertheless failed to find an audience.

Nell Tiger Free, best known for her role in the M. Night Shyamalan-produced series "Servant", leads the film as a young American novitiate, who is sent to an orphanage in Rome where she is to begin her life as a nun. Here she uncovers a dark conspiracy that aims to birth the Antichrist into our world, a revelation that will make her doubt her commitment to the Catholic Church.

Riding on the popularity of satanic-themed horror films like "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Exorcist", Richard Donner's "The Omen" took advantage of a perfect storm of factors that turned it into a sleeper hit, and despite mixed reviews on release, has since become one of the horror greats.

The film follows American diplomat (Gregory Peck) who begins to suspect that his adopted son may be Antichrist and the cause for a series of mysterious deaths. While "The Omen" did not start the evil child trend (look up the 1956 psychological thriller "The Bad Seed"), it certainly did define modern cinema's approach to this kind of premise. The plot is somewhat silly and laden with heavy-handed dialogue. It gets sillier the more it goes down the rabbit hole of Satanic conspiracies, however, it's also wildly effective because of Donner's grounded approach to the story.
