Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
Welcome to Raccoon City, once the booming home of pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corp. The company’s exodus left the city a wasteland, a dying town with great evil brewing below the surface. When that evil is unleashed, a group of survivors must work together to uncover the truth behind Umbrella and make it through the night. Johannes Roberts claimed that this film would do the games justice however I have to disagree with that statement of his. For a man that claimed to play the games from his high school days starting with the fourth installment, Welcome to Raccoon City was a bit of a letdown, though there were some memorable…

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin
Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin is the seventh installment in the Paranormal Activity series. Margot, a young woman who was abandoned by her mother as a baby, travels to a secluded Amish community with a documentary film crew seeking answers about her mother and extended family. I’ve never seen the earlier installments before this one yet still found myself intrigued and glad that it doesn’t require me to watch the previous version before this one. I love the elements on which the film was founded, a mother abandoning her daughter at a hospital, caught on the hospital’s CCTV cameras and years later the once little girl wanting to know…

V/H/S/ 94 (2021)
VHS94 is the fourth installment in the hit horror anthology franchise from A Shudder Original film, however, it’s only been my first and for a person who’s not into horror all that much, I came to enjoy it. VHS94 has a different feel to it for a horror movie, maybe it’s the style of recording, different scenarios segments, whatever it is, I found myself wanting to see more. The reason why I rarely watch horror movies is that you get the same movie build-up in almost all of them, for example, the cast is always in a dark room walking past an open door that magically closes itself with…

Inspired and remade from the classic video games. Summary for season one is greatly focused on the events that lead to Dracula unleashing his countless beasts upon the world and the heroes of the series meeting together to save humanity. Dracula had been living alone in his castle for so many years, wary of humans and their greedy and continuous violence amongst themselves. One day, a woman walks up to his door asking for him to teach her how to heal the sick.…

CandyMan (2021)
First of all, I would love to take this moment to congratulate Director (Nia DaCosta) for being the first black female to debut atop the U.S Box Office, and boy oh boy is it well earned. Candyman has had me on the edge of my seat with anticipation and story building. At first, I may have thought this would be another remake of all the movies we know and thankfully I was proven wrong. From the beginning and I mean, from its shadow puppetry and cultivating reclamation of the Candyman legend to its racial and political aspects. Nia DaCosta is certainly not only brave but smart and intellectually…
