In the realm of psychological horror and apocalyptic dread, M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin, finds itself at a crossroads, unfortunately veering towards the forgettable rather than the frightful.
It’s What’s Inside, the 2024 cinematic cornerstone (or pitfall) brought to you by the innovative Greg Jardin. With a cast that reads like a “who’s who” of talented up-and-comers—Brittany O’Grady, Gavin Leatherwood, and a few others I may forget as soon as the credits roll—you might think I was in for a treat.
In a landscape rich with horror and psychological thrillers, I felt a pang of disappointment after watching "Longlegs," directed by Osgood Perkins and featuring a talented cast including Maika Monroe, Nicolas Cage, and Alicia Witt. While I had hoped the film would stand out, it instead floated somewhere in the realm of mediocrity.
Despite the mixed reviews circulating online, I couldn't ignore the allure of “Criminal.” Critics have noted a disjointed plot and uneven character development, with some expressing disappointment in how the film utilizes its talented cast.
Watching "You're Killing Me," directed by Beth Hanna and Jerren Lauder, I found myself drawn into a modern horror thriller that attempts to grapple with themes of privilege, morality, and the consequences of one’s actions.
