This series was released on the 28th of January 2022, and while the television series is created and written by Chun Sung-il, the original idea is based on a manhwa, aka webcomic called — Now at Our School by Joo Dong-Geun. Together with production companies such as Film Monster, Kim Jong Hak Production, and Netflix as the distributor, All of Us Are Dead was destined to get recognition whether you like it or…

Prey
Film Director Dan Trachtenberg best known for his debut film 10 Cloverfield Lane returns in what may be, the most exciting Predator film in Prey. Prey was released on the 5th of August 2022 and fans of the predator franchise can stream the latest installment on streaming media sites such as Hulu. Now although I haven’t seen all the Predator films since some of them came out before I was even born, I can comfortably say I’ve seen every Predator film that has been released in the 21st century and this one deserves to be praised. Before I dive deep into my review, I’d like to first…

Watcher
Director Chloe Okuno may have released her best work to date with her latest film, Watcher. The film’s focus is on a couple that’s moved into their new apartment in Romania, however, things aren’t all roses and flowers as Julia notices a stranger from across their apartment constantly staring into their room through the window. I don’t believe I have seen any film so simply made yet captivating and thrilling from start to finish. Chloe Okuno’s amazing attention to detail and script writing is what defines Watcher apart from her other crafts. Her way of building suspense and tension in this movie should be an example to all…

Dark: Season 3
Program Creators Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese’s third season of Dark is the perfect portrayal of a tragic story with no actual happy ending for the people of Winden. Season three of Dark has been a journey and a half with all the years we traveled back and forth from and all the revelations that connect the series to its first and second seasons. The first episode of season three is no doubt slow, so slow I passed out and had the best sleep in years lol… We pick up from right where we left off, with Jonas and the alternative Martha from a different world…

Stranger Things: Season 4 – Part 1
The Duffer brothers, Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer have come back with the latest epic season of Stranger Things and it has hit the community by storm. Stranger Things season four is undoubtedly the best yet: and I don’t mean to downplay the previous season however, comparing seasons three to four is as if comparing Hydrox to Oreo. Sure they look alike but Oreo just hits different and if you’re guessing which one is which, Oreo is the fourth season. The production quality of this season is incredible, the cinematography beautiful, pacing and structure of each episode are more than an hour-long, which is insane but gold considering that…

Dark: Season 2
Ladies and Gentlemen, I just finished watching the second season of “Dark” and I have a lot to talk about this season’s finale. First of all, let me say, all of my reviews are based on own my perspective about the show, I’m neither trying to be right nor wrong with my reviews, I am simply sharing my opinion and view from my point of view. With that out of the way, let us begin. Season two of Dark was a thriller from beginning to end, with twists and turns in every episode, authentic, and then some shady questionable moments in others but none had me like the…

Morbius
Director Daniel Espinosa with partners Sony and Marvel have released their latest blockbuster film by the name of “Morbius”. Now I have not seen any trailer for this film nor have any information as to what this film is about however the first thing I noticed is that it has something to do with vampires. “Doctor” Michael Morbius was born with a weak body due to his DNA missing one element in its genes which prevented him from living a normal life like every other child out there but what he lacked in physical strength, he made up with intellect. While in the care of “Doctor Emil Nicholas”…
