Absolutely enjoyed how the desperation to hoard youth is conceptualized in this movie. Having experienced this trope before, in films that are more purely science fiction, it was good to experience it in the horror genre.

Smile 2: It Gets Better!
Great sequel! Honestly, while the original was solid, it didn't leave me with high hopes for a follow up. What really incentivized me to see this one was the plot, which centered around a touring pop star. What can I say? I’m an easy sell…
Speak No Evil: Blumhouse’s Best of 2024
We all hate remakes, for the most part, but…what a remake?! I absolutely love it when movies live up to their hype and this movie was one of them ones that instantly hooked me with its intentionally off putting and uncomfortable trailer.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice: Death Gets a Second Life
Enjoyable sequel that had slightly more pros than cons. The newer storyline was interesting enough to follow, while the older storyline introduced a part of Beetlejuice’s past life that we never knew…and, honestly, didn’t need.
Sing Sing: Art Imitates Life
This movie was not on my radar, at all, but I came across some posts about it on X, yesterday, and decided to check it out... *sarcasm* shocker: it didn’t disappoint - what a performance!
Cuckoo: Explanations Are for the Birds
Similar to my feelings with Zendaya in The Challengers, Hunter Schaeffer’s performance in Euphoria made me eagerly anticipate the release of this movie. While I feel her performance was perfect in this movie, I feel the movie itself was flawed.
