WHEN THE MASKED ‘MONSTER’ TAKES MANHATTAN! Scream VI Review.

“TRUTH IS A SPECTRE THAT SCARES MANY.” Discussing the horror documentary.

What constitutes a horror documentary? Is it a documentary about a horror film or television series, or, is it a documentary that’s content is horror based? I believe it’s the latter, being that the subject matter of the documentary is rooted within the horror genre. It could really be about anything that is interpreted as

SLOW-MOTION SONAR FOR A FEEBLE FLIGHT! Marvel’s Morbius is a mediocre movie.

On the nefarious battlefields of the comic crusades, I would probably have to side with the DC universe, but only because I’m somewhat of a traditionalist. As a youngster though, I read both Dc and Marvel and when I learnt that Morbius (2022) would be developed into a feature film, I was a teeny-weeny bit

Let’s start with some facts about this film, beginning with the ‘Nots’. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) is NOT a great movie.

  I thought I would talk about something any avid horror fan would find appealing; Collectibles! There are some amazing movie-themed collectibles available. This year marks some large milestones for horror films.  Amazing films that transcend the test of time do so because they are worthy of their longevity. And like any film geek will

Out with the old and in with the slightly reconstructed adaptation of the original version!

I have always been curious as to what prompts a filmmaker to want to remake an already established film. Is it to pay homage? Is it because they want to refresh a staled narrative for modern audiences? Or is it simply a lack of an original concept on their part? A remake is defined as:

SPOOKY SEASON TIS THE SEASON and “Everyone’s entitled to one good scare!”

With Halloween less than a few days away, the ‘season of horror’ is in full effect and there are a plethora of viewing choices available on all of the streaming services. I have to say, although it isn’t as recognized in Australian culture, Halloween has always been my favourite “holiday”. Without getting on my high-horse
