Daniel´s B Movie Autumn Madness: Simon Says ( 2025 )

Boarding games was a big part of my childhood. We used to play board games like Fia Med Knuff ( to fully understand how this game works just google it ), we also played Diamanten wich was like an adventure game where you are supposed to find the largest diamond, where you also travelled across Kairo and Tanger. I did try to learn chess for a while but that was extremely boring to me, i even dropped out during chess class that i had in school. I did enjoy playing the classic boarding game Monopoly when i was a little bit older. But then after a while video games started to take over my interest more and more, i was playing a lot of games on my Amiga 500 computer including my Nintendo set. So, boarding games became a bit of history just dusting in my mother´s basement. I have played Monopoly at Christmas celebrations with relatives, or we played poker as well, just to gather the family and do something else together, I can appreciate boarding games differently these days because it´s actually nice sitting down doing something together. But certain games should perhaps be avoided such as playing with a ouija board, because you never know if you will communicate with someone on the other side. There are a lot of horror movies that includes the using of a ouija board, and i have seen quite a lot of titles over the years. I could have easily talked about the bigger budget horror films, but i decided to mention an independent horror film instead known as Ouija: Deadly Reunion released back in 2021. One of the few low budget ouija horror films i felt at least tried to use an ouija board for a specific purpose. While some of the low budget ouija horror films barely had a story, Ouija: Deadly Reunion actually use a pretty basic story with a group of friends gathering to celebrate a birthday party. The acting is of course not that good in Ouija: Deadly Reunion, but we were not expecting Oscar performances so i can accept that. Why this film works better than some other low budget ouija films, that we actually have characters in this film. On the negative side i would probably say that the ouija scenes could have been done more effectively. Is this horror film scary? Not really, but there is something charming about Ouija: Deadly Reunion trying to be like a theatre play infront of a live audience. If you want to watch this film on YouTube you can watch it on the channel CiNENET on the following link:

Since im doing the segment Daniel´s B Movie Autumn Madness i decided to picka low budget horror film to review. So i picked the 2025 British independent horror film known as Simon Says from director  Steven M. Smith. I did see a trailer of this film and i got curious, was this film better than the actual trailer itself? Could this be the low budget horror film that will finally unite every nation for world peace, or is Simon Says the perfect example of a failure from start to finish?

4 people have been invited to a Scottish castle weekend where the owner give them an oppurtinuty to have a chance to play a game known as Simon Says. The winner will be the owner of the castle, so of course the offer is tempting for especially one of the guests. They all finally agree to play this board game, not knowing that this game might end their lives.....

I have seen some good low budget horror films coming from United Kingdom over the years but i have also seen some really terrible ones such as the 2025 independent horror film Piglet ( anyone remember this one? ). I can accept terrible acting, low budget special effects and even bad CGI effects as long as the film is fun to watch. And here we have a film that should be mentioned on lists of terrible British horror films because Simon Says in not only terrible, this has to be one of the most boring horror films i have ever seen. And i seriously mean that, i almost fell asleep three times within almost 90 minutes playtime. And when you are supposed to be scared or feel any kind of horror atmosphere, this films helps you get a good night´s sleep instead. That seriously have to be a bad sign if a film makes you so bored, you would rather sleep. One of the biggest issues with Simon Says is the character himself known as Simon, this is supposed to be a scary character that´s connected to a board game Simon Says. But he doesn´t look scary at all, he looks like a LSD fan stepping out from Woodstock 1969 with a hat and sunglasses. And if this was their best attempt to make the horror character Simon scary, i wonder if they even had any other ideas on the writing board or just said:- Let´s just find clothes from our Grandparent´s basement boxes. Because we all know to make a horror film effective, you need the horror character to have an interesting practical design, or a certain look to leave some creepy vibes. One positive detail, i do think the board game of Simon Says is a good idea and the wooden figures are supposed to be characters in this specific house. The scenes where they are playing the board game is the best part of this film, but that´s not many minutes in total. The acting in general is nothing special, where the only fun character might be Dina, played by actress Leila Kotori ( who you also can see in the terrible British low budget horror film The Mermaid´s Curse ). The CGI effects from Simon when he kills people, we have to talk about them. Imagine watching CGI effects from the year of 1999 but looked terrible already back in those days. That´s what you get here in Simon Says so they obviously had no budget to spend. The plot itself is nothing interesting or anything you will remember, that they are playing the game Simon Says out of curiousity. Simon Says proves that you do not need a budget to help you get a better sleep schedule, just film a bunch of scenes with terrible CGI effects and call it a horror film. Director Steven M. Smith have directed a lot of low budget British horror films, and i can accept his 2021 film The Ghosts Of Borley Rectory. But i have to say, Simon Says have not much at all to offer and i will not be watching the sequel ( yes one was made after this film ). Simon Says what? I honestly dont care, i need a whiskey after this experience.

Supergirl ( Blu ray review )

If you grew up during the 1980´s as a child, there was a big possibility you were reading some kind of comic book back in those days. Comic books were really loved in many different formats, and in our local comic book store in my Swedish hometown known as Uddevalla we would spend our weekends there checking out different DC Comics, Marvel comic books but also other slightly more science fiction inspired comic books as well. I used to love reading Conan The Barbarian comic books, because this was such a cool character and he was really brutal. It was during this time period that i saw a VHS copy of the 1982 film adaptation of Conan The Barbarian, in my school friend Nicklas home because they loved Arnold Schwarzenegger movies and bought Raw Deal on VHS as well. I remember seeing the sequel Conan The Destroyer as well at Nicklas home. When i got closer to 12 years old i moved on watching more superhero comic books such as Justice League, i even started reading Batman comic books which wasn´t my thing back in 1987. Perhaps it was because i knew that the 1989 film adaptation of Batman was going to be released in cinemas worldwide with actor Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne / Batman. Either way during the 1980´s i can definetely clarify that comic book stores was the cool spot for a nerd kid like myself. Of course in my youth i have heard about the Superman movies with actor Christopher Reeve at that time, and i did eventually see both the first film and the second one on VHS tapes. I really enjoyed both films and i still do to this day. The third one i can watch just for nostalgic reasons and Superman IV - A Quest For Peace is plain and simple really awful. Back in 1984 there was also a film adaptation of the comic book character Supergirl where actress Helen Slater was chosen to play this character. A big box office bomb at that time and i can see why.  This film did not have the same charm as the Superman films, or any big budget which caused problems to the special effects. I actually rewatched the 1984 film recently to prepare for my review of latest Supergirl film adaptation. I do like actress Helen Slater in the lead role, too bad that the film suffer from big problems such as awful special effects, even some of the action scenes don´t look that good. I do think legendary actress Faye Dunaway is fun as the evil character Selena, while it is charming seeing legendary actor Peter O´Toole included in the cast as well . This is probably a film only for those who are Die Hard fans of the comic book character Supergirl, or like the similar comic books. So after we had a new Superman film released last year, this summer we had a new Supergirl film adaptation out in cinemas worldwide. I did not see this film on the big sceen, i actually ordered a blu ray copy from the UK instead. So the question is does this new film adaptation of Supergirl work better than the 1984 film version, or is this latest film adapation just a lazy attempt to cash in on the character?

Kara Zor-El ( Milly Alcock ) is cynical and delusioned, tired of her Yellow-sun-granting powers and near-immortality, preferring to hang out under a Red Sun and get into drunken bar fights, her life one long hangover, punctuated by vomiting and breakfast cereal. Celebrating her 23rd birthday by getting just as drunk as ever, her party is about to end when a young woman named Ruthye ( Eva Ridley ), suddenly show up and tell people she is out for revenge by killing a ruthless gang leader in retaliation for the slaughter of her family. She begs Kara-Zor El for help, since she can´t do this on her own. Kara would rather be drunk, but realise that this might give her a chance to deal with her addiction and do something good for once.

How many of you remember the 2008 film Hancock with Will Smith as the super human Hancock, a drunk, ego tripped wreck who didn´t care about humanity anymore, especially now when everyone hates him? That film was actually an interesting take on people with super powers, who have fallen completely and seemed stuck with personal issues. In the latest film adaptation of Supergirl we actually find her living in a similar position, except she is not hated by everyone like Hancock was. So, this brings me to talk about a completely different take on Supergirl than we have seen before. Where she likes to get drunk and party, not take any responsibility for hew own actions. I know there are some people who have complained about the decision to make Supergirl into a drunk, i think it was a good choice and i will tell you why. Far too often we are suppsed to see superheroes to be a good role model in society, so we need to see a different take on comic book characters sometimes to show they may have flaws like everyone else. Just because you have super powers doesn´t make you a better person compared to an ordinary human. I have also heard so many right wing people across American complain about actress Milly Alcock´s physical look, basically that she looks ugly. I think that is very rude attacking her physical looks, i see nothing wrong with her natural beauty and you would think adults would be smarter than that, attacking someone for how they look. Speaking of Milly as Supergirl, i think she gives an interesting performance considering we have never seen this version of Supergirl before. Milly handle both the acting well plus her physical performance. I like her chemistry on the screen with young actress Eve Ridley. Jason Momoa is of course here as the evil character Lobo, who looks like he just came home from a goth metal concert with his outfit. Jason is alright, i wish he could have done something fun and unexpected with his character though. In some ways this almost feels like a Star Wars version of Supergirl with so many different aliens characters. I know a lot of people have complained about this film being influenced by the comic book miniseries Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, while not looking anything like it. I can understand if you are expecting this film to look like the comic book, so im just reviewing this film as it is. While there are some fun action scenes we also have some CGI effects scenes that could have looked much better. I would say though as a superhero film and if you like Star Wars influences, then this could work. Nowhere near as good as the classic Superman films, just easy popcorn entertainment if you are in the right mood. Director Craig Gillespie ( who directed the brilliant biographical drama film I, Tonya, a film you simply have to see ) have actually done a better Supergirl film than the 1984 version, at least more enjoyable i would say. Worth picking up on physical media if you especially collect superhero movies in general.

Alien Storm

For a long time in Hollywood we especially had two legendary film producers that seemed to change the industry completely. The Cannon Group with film producers Menahem Golan and his cousin Yorum Globus was a truly magical combination, together they produced so many classics such as Missing In Action, American Ninja, Invasion U.S.A., Death Wish 3, King Solomon´s Mines ( from director J. Lee Thompson, the director of the 1962 original Cape Fear film ), Runaway Train,, Cobra ( the classic with Sylvester Stallone ), Masters Of The Universe, Bloodsport, Cyborg and many more. Let´s be perfectly honest, without The Cannon Group the 1980´s never would have been the same. They took some big risks making low budget films and they actually had some big cinema hits. Of course one of their biggest mistakes was making Superman IV - A Quest For Peace from 1987, simply because they didn´t have enough money to finish the film on the budget they wanted, so they had to cut the budget just to be able to finish the film that caused a lof of issues. They couldn´t do special effects the way they wanted while making the film, so they reused flying scenes of legendary actor Christopher Reeve, to be able to stay within a certain budget. I can still enjoy parts of Superman IV since i am a fan of Christopher Reeve´s classic Superman films, but i think it´s fair to say that this film did have some issues and is perhaps not as good as it could have been. I still love a lot of films produced by Menahem Golan and Yorum Globus and i still rewatch their movies. And for a while it seemed that we had two brothers in America who could be the next to take over the independent movie industry. I am of course talking about the brothers Sonny Mahal and Michael Mahal, and i was honored to review almost every single film that they produced, where they shared my reviews on each film´s IMDB page. Sonny Mahal and Michael Mahal proved that the independent movie industry was alive and doing well, they released several really popular films within different film genres with big Hollywood stars. They made some really great films such as Attack Of The Uknown, Night Of The Tommyknockers, Bloodthirst, Devil´s Knight and many more. Then i got the tragic news that Michael Mahal have passed away on May 19th, 2025. I was very shocked and i was immediately thinking about his brother Sonny. I did reach out to him personally to show my respect, both to him, his brother and their family as well. Even though Michael is no longer with us his legacy lives on in the films he produced with his brother Sonny, and i was given an oppurtunity to watch the film Alien Storm that they produced together. So this review will be a tribute to film producer Michael Mahal. Is the film Alien Storm a true classic throwback to alien films of classic B movies of the past, or is this not as good as i was hoping it would be?

All over the world a mysterious fog is spreading across several major cities. It seems that inside this fog there are creatures from outer space that landed on Earth. President Nolan ( Kevin Sorbo ) is informed very late about this invasion but refuse to just sit back, he will do everything he can to make sure everone will be safe and secure. While a well known business man is having a great party at his Las Vergas mansion, the aliens are entering their area. Luckily there is a bunker underneath the house. They must fight their way through to make sure as many as possible will survive this invasion.

How many of you remember the 2011 science fiction actior film World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles? In this film Earth was invaded by aliens that looked like robots. A very explosive, violent film that was both fun, well made and had a lot of good looking action scenes. Alien Storm may not look like Battle Los Angeles in the same sense, but this is an alien invasion film and if you are a fan of similar films such as World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles, then this could be exactly what you are looking for. Let´s get into some of the things a appreciate about this film, and let me start by saying i appreciate the set up for this film. It is pretty simple plot that feels like an old school science fiction alien film, a group of people stuck inside a mansion in the Las Vegas area where aliens are invading the city. And those who know my kind of movie taste, you know i love creature feature science fiction horror films. So we have several positive details to talk about in Alien Storm, so let´s start with the creature design of the aliens themselves. When i saw the design of these alien creatures i was reminded of another independent horror film called It Came From Below from director Dan Allen. There are some differences of course of the creatures in both of these films from a design perspective, but i appreciate the creature design in Alien Storu for trying to feel like a throwback to 1980´s creature feautre films. We have a huge cast here so i will just mention some of the performances that stood out to me. Hercules actor Kevin Sorbo actually surprised me how well he played the character President Nolan.. Legendary actor Tom Arnold does a fun performance as Mayor Walker, while actor Denny Nolan and actress Laura Mason as a married couple match well on the big screen, especially when they arm themselves against the aliens. Actor Johnny Huang as the party DJ Beetz, he knows how a party should look like. Actress Elley Ringo have some great scenes together with Tom Arnold, i wish we could have seen more. I do feel that Elley give one of the strongest acting performances. Alien Storm is a quite short film but i appreciate that, that helps the story run smooth without too much dialogue, I would say the acting in general are actually not bad from most of the actors, and when you have fun characters in an alien invasion story, it definetely helps this film become more fun to watch. If you miss creature feautre alien movies that we used to get in the 1980´s, then this will definetely please you. Alien Storm knows exactly what audience it was made for, and embrace this with a fun violent sci fi horror story. Director Adam Werth have directed several films in the past that i have enjoyed, and i feel the same way about Alien Storm. This is without a doubt a film i would recommend if you just want a fun throwback to the 1980´s, i will definetely be picking up a physical copy and so should you.

Seven Snipers

I have a tradition that i usually follow every year, no matter what season of the year we are talking about. I like to rewatch some classic films that i really appreciate for personal reasons, it could be because of nostalgic cinema memories during the 1990´s or because of VHS release that made a impact on me. One perfect example of this is the 1993 action military film Sniper, directed by Luis Llosa ( who also directed the Sylvester Stallone action film The Specialist, definetely worth a watch ). Why i enjoyed the 1993 film Sniper so much was mostly because of the chemistry between main characters Thomas Beckett ( played by actor Tom Berenger ), and his younger sniper partner Richard Miller ( played by actor Billy Zane ). To see these two men on a mission in the jungles of Panama is both exciting, charming and the film manage to capture the importance of working together as a team. If you make one mistake you could end up dead. I also think that this film looks good in the jungle scenes, it feels like we are actually there on location in Panama. Ever since i bought the Scandinavain DVD release of this film ( must have been over 20 years ago at least ), i try to rewatch this film every year. Because it takes me back to my cinema experience i had with Sniper and that was actually a wonderful experience. I have seen some of the sequels over the years and i can accept Sniper 2 and Sniper 3 basically, both of them with Tom Berenger in the lead role. These sequels are not as good as the original film, but enjoyable as pure action films. The other sequels are....not that good if im being perfectly honest. It felt like they were making too many sequels and they didn´t even bother to care about the characters or the stories. I haver no idea how many more movies they will make in the Sniper franchise, but im sure they will try and milk out money as long as the films do well on streaming or digital. Speaking of snipers, since this summer i was curious to check out an action film with actress Radha Mitchell ( who i especially remember from the 2006 film adaptation of Silent Hill, based on the extremely popular video game of the same name ) simply called Seven Snipers. This film looked like a throwback to 90´s action movies and how can i say no to that? I decided to rent this film on VOD and review it as well. Is this one of the better Radha Mitchell movies in recent years, or is Seven Snipers so bad, you would rather suffer through Mariah Carey´s awful 2001 film Glitter than no one seems to remember but me?

Retired military sniper Voodoo Child ( Radha Mitchell ) lives on a ranch in Australia with her daughter Anja ( Annabel Wolfe ), where she tries to raise her daugher in the best possible way, after being away alot during military service. One day a mysterious man shows up claiming a real estate company is interested in bying her land. Voodo Child don´t buy the man´s offer, and it turns out she was right. It seems that someone from her past wants revenge on her, so she calls in her old sniper team for backup on her ranch. It becomes more clear that another sniper named The Dragon ( Tim Roth ) is the one behind of all of this, who have a certain reason for making this so personal against Voodoo Child.

When i started watching Seven Snipers i was immediately reminded of the 1993 action drama film Nowhere To Run. In that film Jean-Claude Van Damme plays a prisoner who managed to escape from a convict transport, and is now drifting around the countryside. He gets to know a mother and her two children, where a real estate company want to buy the woman´s land. Of course she refuse any offer and the real estate company use force to scare her. There are some similarities between Nowhere To Run and Seven Snipers, at least when it comes to the real estate company who wants to buy main character Voodoo Child´s land. Then it turns out there is a completely different plot here after all, that there is a revenge story behind everything. So even if Seven Snipers started off quite simple, we suddenly move forward in a complete different direction. On the positive side for this film i would say that the sniper scenes are alright, not as effective as the 1993 classic Sniper but still good enough to enjoy. Lead actress Radha Mitchell as the former sniper soldier Voodoo Child does have a cool personality. She is confident, doesn´t take shit from anyone and is not afraid to go into battle. I am actually surprised to see Radha Mitchell do this kind of character considering she have not been in many action films, other than Man On Fire, Olympus Has Fallen and London Has Fallen of course.  Legendary actor Tim Roth ( from Quentin Tarantino classics such as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction ) plays the sniper character The Dragon. I would say he is alright, but have definetely seen him act better in older classics. I would have liked to see The Dragon character be even more cold, and brutal than we see him in this film. I like the brotherhood among the snipers who help their friend of Voodoo Child, where they really need to support each other during this shootout. On the negative i would probably say that there are a couple of dialogue scenes that felt drawn out, just to have the playtime getting closer to almost 90 minutes. Also, some of the decisions that certain snipers does seem kind of unprofessional in certain scenarios. As a pure and simple action film i still feel that Seven Snipers have enough entertainment value, especially for those who love military sniper films of the 90´s. Director Sandra Sciberras ( who directed the low budget Australian horror film The Dustwalker ) deliver a film that definetely feels like a tribute to old school military action movies at the VHS store, and i do appreciate the effort. Seven Snipers should definetely be a hit at the Elderly Home who are fed up with watching Jeopardy.

Blood Witch

Witches!

What would life be without them? You get a nice bowl of soup with eyeballs, mixed with some nice herbs and hopefully some other flesh included. I mean, you are not going to have much food just by eating eyeballs, so hopefully the witches have added some other flesh to make the soup more tasteful. What else are witches good for you might ask yourself? They do use a lot of things from nature durent different seasons of the year, making sure they keep themselves updated with Mother Nature. So if you need advices of what plants you can eat, or use in cooking then witches are the ones to ask. They are also aware of what plants they can use in health and wellness purposes. I would also argue that some witches know how to use different spells by doing a ritual, where candles and specific herbs are included. So if you are tired of your annoying neighbor, why not ask your local witch to put a spell on that old nagging hag? So you see, there are some good things about knowing a local witch. Speaking of witches in general we had a lot of horror films that includes witches, in many different stories connected to witchcraft. I could probably mention at least 10 films you should see if you love horror films with witches, so let´s just bring up one specific title. The 2018 independent horror film The Witch In The Window, how many of you have seen this film? I could imagine mostly big horror fans have come across this film at some point, but it wasn´t a big release back in 2018. I bought a physical copy of this film from the distribution company Njutafilms. The Witch In The Window tell the story of a father and a son who stays in a house for 6 weeks, to fix up an old farmhouse. It´s been abandoned for a long time and need some work, while this might help him reconnect with his son. As they begin the renovation, strange things begin to occur. The Witch In The Window is a very simple horror film, but the witch elements actually works in this film. This is a slow burn horror film that´s focused more on atmopshere than any physical violence, plus the relationship between a father and a son. I would also like to mention that the film looks good, even though this is clearly a low budget horror film. Worth picking up on physical media or if you rent it on VOD. How many of you have heard of the British independent distribution company Black Coppice Films? I have only seen a couple trailer of their releases and decided to check one of their films out, simply called Blood Witch. Since i enjoy films regarding witches, is this a must watch to prepare for this Halloween or will Blood Witch be quickly fogotten once you have seen this film?

Centuries after being killed for witchcraft, a mother and a daughter are resurrected. They seek revenge on descendantsof those responsible. As locals disappear, two journalists investigate the mysterious events.

I could be wrong but i get a sense that a film such as Blood Witch, tries to bring back the old school horror films that we used to see in the legendary British film distribution company Hammer Films. They were of course known all over the world for their British low budget horror films such as the Dracula franchise with legendary actor Christopher Lee, and Hammer Films honestly released some other true classics such as the 1976 horror film To The Devil A Daughter. However, to say that Blood Witch would be anywhere good as the classics from Hammer Films, that is simply not the case here. I do appreciate the effort trying to really do a traditional witch horror film, using practical make up effects and real locations instead of a film studio only.  Especially the scenes where there are some brutal practical make up effects, thisis exactly what a film such as this needed. One of the biggest issues i have with Blood Witch, as i have experienced with specifically British independent horror films in the past, is that they use too many dialogue scenes and scale down on the horror scenes. This is just a simple way to make the film last around 85 minutes, because you don´t have to use that many bloody scenes and save money basically. There are  characters i enjoyed in yhis film. Let´s start with Father Thomas Jackson ( played by actor Jon-Paul Gates, who i have seen in the independent horror film Doll Cemetary ). Hearing Father Thomas telling a man that helps him- Fucking idiot, in the middle of an exorcism scene, that was actually quite funny and one of the highlights of Blood Witch. I personally feel the character Father Thomas should have had much more sceen time in Blood Witch. The second actor Denny Nolan ( who i remember from the horror action film Bridge Of The Doomed ), plays the character Spencer Jones which have some charming dialogue. Oh, i should say the ending scene is really brutal and surprisngly fun. This is probably the only positive things i can say about Blood Witch, because i feel that this could have been a much more fun horror film if it was more violent, and more gory than doing so many doalogue scenes. Director Chris Shane Sanders have not made a horrible film, just a very boring one.

Normal

Remember when a movie become a bigger success than you would have imagined? Usually some big ciname releases may either flop, or they might make enough money to make a little bit of profit. Then you have those films that made a hell of a lot of money, that no one probably saw coming. You never really know these days because the audience will always decide what they enjoy. Even if a film critic hate a film, the audience may not even bother what critics are sauing and still pay for tickets. For example, back in the year of 2017 i never would have imagined, that the psychological horror film Get Out would be a massive box office success. I remember that the movie critics praised the film, however, i never expected a horror film made on a limited budget of 4.5 million U.S. dollars, would end up getting over 259 million U.S. dollars in ticket sales. That is really impressive numbers of ticket sales, no matter if you like the film Get Out or if you dislike this film. I personally enjoyed this film for a number of reasons, both because of the acting, the storyline but especially how effective this film is as a psychological horror film. Worth a watch if you are looking for a solid horror film, no matter if you prefer to watch it on streaming or physical media. Another film that really surprised me is actually an action film, and that is the 2021 film known as Nobody from director Llya Naishuller. On a budget of 16 million U.S. dollars this film ended up making over 57 million U.S. dollats in ticket sales. Not bad at all, not a massive success perhaps but still making a descent profit considering that cinemas have been struggling since the pandemic, Plus this film did well on streaming and physical media as well. Nobody turned out to be a really violent action trip, where actor Bob Odenkirk ( perhaps mostly known from the Netflix TV series Better Call Saul ) really showed a very strong physical acting performance. I do appreciate the violence in this film, combined with a good sense of humour. I have not seen the sequel yet Nobody 2 but i definetely plan to watch it at some point. I did however see Bob Odenkirk´s film Normal which i decided to review. A film i have read positive reviews about, so considering im a big fan of the original Nobody film of course i was excited to watch Normal. Is this another great film with the highly respected Better Call Saul actor, or is this way worse than we ever would have expected?

Ulysses ( Bob Odenkirk ) begins serving as intern sheriff of the small town of Normal, Minnestota. At first it seems that most locals welcome the new sheriiff in town, as well as Mayor Kibner ( Henry Winkler ). But after he discover certain details about the bank of Normal, something doesn´t seem quite right about this town. The locals don´t like it when people dig into the past, and this may cause some big issues for the new Sheriff Ulysses.

What if you did a similar environment as in the 1996 classic film Fargo and combined some influences from films such as the 2023 film Americana? Then you pretty much have have the concept for what Normal looks like. Small town stories from Normal, where you get to see how the people of this town function in different scenarios. If you thought actor Bob Odenkirk would do a similar acting performance in Normal as he did in the 2021 action film Nobody, i can tell you that this is a completely different character. I would describe his character Ulysses as a typical small town sheriff, who tries to deal with local folks as good as he can. Bob Odenkirk deliver a solid performance and i like the fact that he tries to do a classic small town sheriff character, in the same sense that we experienced in the 1996 cult classic film Fargo. Different films of course, still you can feel some inspiration could have been used from Fargo while they were making the film Normal. I could of course be wrong, but if you compare these two films i feel some similarities. Legendary actor Henry Winkler does another great performance as the fun character Mayor Kibner. This film unfortunately turned out to be a box office bomb this year, and in one way i can understand why. It´s not because this film is bad, it´s actually a really good film. But i feel that this is a difficult film to make a wider audience want to see it, because not many films telling a story about a small town have been box office hits. Just look at the 2011 film Take Shelter, that was praised by critics and had a great cast. It didn´t help and barely crossed over the film´s budget around 5 million U.S. dollars. Not a big box office bomb, yet managed to find an audience on streaming and physical media instead. I just think Normal is a difficult film unless you enjoy small town stories, which i am a fan of. With that said i do think this film works both as an action film, thriller combined with drama. The violence is fun, the dialogue is actually effective as well and i do think director Ben Wheatley ( director of a personal favourite of mine called A Field In England, worth picking up on physical media ) proves himself again to be a talented director. That he can basically take on any genre in film, and still leave a positive impact as he have in his previous films. The biggest surprise of Normal is how this turns into a very violent showdown where even the Japanese Yakuza are involved. If you loved the 2021 film Nobody then this could be something for you. It´s the kind of old school action film we used to get in the 1980´s, where violence was the key to solve problems, instead of just talking. Normal have all the ingredients you need for a fun old school action popcorn night, and Bob Odenkirk proves that there is still hope for the action genre.

God Of Frogs

It may not be often you hear about the genre known as creature feature films these days, but if we go back in cinema history you had plenty of cinema releases within this specific genre. One of the most iconic creature feature horror film classics, has to be the 1951 horror film The Thing From Another World. This film is of course a combination of science fiction and horror, which works really well combined. Considering the film was made back in the year of 1951, it did have some cool practical make up effects and was professionally made. I prefer the 1982 remake of course by legendary director John Carpenter, who really took the story of The Thing to a complete different level. Amazing practical effects in the 1982 film adaptation, but let´s talk about a completely different film within the creature feature category of movies. For example how many of you remember the 1978 horror film that´s now considered to be a cult classic known as Pirahna? Directed by legendary director Joe Dante ( the director of so many classic films such as The Howling, Gremlins, Explorers The Burbs, Gremlins 2, and many more wonderful films ), this 1978 low budget horror film Piranha was actually the film that opened up the door for director Joe Dante´s future. On a budget around 770.000 U.S. dollars it made around 16 million U.S. dollars in ticket sales worldwide, not bad for such a low budget film. The story is basically set in Lost River Lake, where skiptracer Maggie McKeown ( Heather Menzies ) is looking for missing teenagers, who seemed to have disappeared after a visit at this lake. She hires local drunk Paul Grogan ( Bradford Dillman ), to help her investigate what happened to the missing teenagers. They discover that the water is infested by an unusual species of piranha fishes. It is a silly, yet a fun creature feature horror film that actually have pretty good acting, is quite well made considering the low budget and i do like the storyline that´s simple but effective. The special effects of the piranha fishes may look cheesy, but that´s part of the charm with creature feature horror films. A film worth a watch, especially on physical media. Speaking of creature feature films, we still get some of them released especially within independent horror studios. I came across an anthology horror film called God Of Frogs which is a creature feature film as well, thanks to the review from British film critic Geek Legion Of Doom. Since i am a fan of both genres, anhology horror and creature feature films, this did sound like my cup of tea. Is this a film you should see this autumn or should you skip this one and go straight to the 1978 classic Piranha instead?

Deep in the heart of the jumgle exists an elemental creature with an eternal hunger. Once every quarter century it emerges to feed, and everytime its fate is entwined with the same human family.

I think it is fait to say that God Of Frogs start off pretty bizarre, when we found ourselves among hippies in the year of 1969 and a woman have sex with a frog creature. Now, when you read this you might be thinking:- Why would you want to do that? Well, i can´t really answer that. I suppose back in the late 1960´s anything was possible, so why not? Maybe this frog creature is a great lover, perhaps human men have a lot to learn from them. But that´s not the only time the frog monster have sex in this film, oh no. We got to have frog sex in the year of 1994 as well. I mean, you gotta have fun in the 90´s as well, right? I should clarify that these frog monster is kind of tricky, because at first they seem to look human during sex, but apparently then can transform just like that and the women think they are having sex with male humans, and yet continue when the monster transform into it´s real body. The real reason though why these frog creatures have sex is of course to have babies from female humans. This film is divided into four different chapters and they are all connected to the frog creature. I have to say that the practical make up effects of this creature is not bad at all, and the frog suit itself looks good for being a low budget film. Obviously they worked with the budget they had, and i think they pulled this off nicely. Actually, this film had help from special effects make up artist Jess Smith, who also did a great job on the 2024 horror film The Killgrin, worth checking out. The acting is a bit of a mixed bag, some acting performances don´t really make any bigger impact, but in the third chapter of this film i do think actors Corteon Moore and Christian Lloyd give us the most interesting characters. I do like the idea of each chapter taking place so far from each other, giving a different perspective of why this creature have a bigger purpose through history. Is every chapter good? I don´t think there are any bad ones, it´s just that the third chapter manage to capture my interest more than others. Overall i would say God Of Frogs is an interesting concept for a anthology horror film. It may not be a film for everyone, but if you specifically enjoy anthology horror stories this should be a fun watch. If you love old school practical make up effects with monsters included, then this is the film you have been waiting for.

Passenger

I have drived all across Sweden on many different highways over the years, all across different cities and even along the Swedish coast lines. This is a very beautiful country to drive through with lots of beautiful forest areas, there are many beautiful smaller cities and i have to say there are some great resting places along the highways for drivers to stop at, especially near different lakes. Usually nothing strange have ever happened while i was driving through Sweden, except for one moment that happened back in January of 2016. I was driving down towards Gothenburg and stopped at a gas station in the city known as Karslstad. It was a cold winter day so i needed a hot cup of coffee and a hot dog as well. While i was getting gas for my car, a drifter walked up to me asking if i could drive him to Stockholm because he needed to travel to his brother. I told him:- Im going to Gothenburgh so it´s the wrong direction but good luck finding help by someone else. He got really upset saying:- Can´t you just fucking help me? I could tell he might have some mental problems because him mood changed very quickly. I was respectful and said:- Im sorry i can´t help you. I paid for the gas and got in the car, while i could see him standing looking at me from a distance. The way he stared at me was creepy. I understand if you don´t have money you will ask for help, i have no problem with that part. I just feel that this man could not control his emotions, because he got in a really bad mood quickly. Either way, i will never forget this drifter outside of the city of Karlstad. Speaking of drifters one of the best psychological thrillers ever made, is the 1986 classic film The Hitcher from director Robert Harmon. The plot is really simple but very effective. A young man named Jim Halsey ( played by actor C. Thomas Howell ), he is delivering a car from Chicago to San Diego. On his way there he pick up a hitchhiker named John Ryder ( played by legendary actor Rutger Hauer ), who seems quite odd at first. But that´s not even close to the real truth, he is actually even worse than that. He is a mentally disturbed serial killer and he want´s to play some disturbing games with Jim along the highway. The Hitcher is one of those psychological thrillers you can rewatch, and never get bored of. Really well made thriller with excellent acting performances, and this is one of those films you should own on physical media or own a digital copy of. Speaking of hitchhiker´s i finally sat down to watch Norwegian director André Ovredal´s latest horror film Passenger, that looked interesting for a number of reasons. Since i am a fan of André´s previous films, is Passenger a film you should see or is this hiw worst feature film so far?

Couple Maddie Brecker ( Lou Llobell ) and Tyler Gennochio ( Jacob Scipio ), are travelling in a van across the country to live a simple life, enjoying sightseeing and exploring different locations for six weeks completely. One late night while Maddie is driving along a highway, a car speed very dramatic as if the passenger is warning them. Maddie slows down to let the driver pass them by. As they continue their journey they see the same car have been in an accident and alarm the accident. The passenger named Lucas ( Miles Fowler ) is suddenly killed by the crash protection car pillow. But something doesn´t seem quite right at the accident location, as if someone else is there out there in the darkness.

If you have seen some of the previous films from director André Ovredal, you know that he is clearly a very talented director of especially horror films. Passenger is of course also a horror film, but leaning more towards the supernatural horror genre. I know that director André Ovredal have worked with a limited budget in the past such as Trollhunter. Even if that film did cost a lot more than the general Norwegian cinema releases, it was still made on a limited budget if you compare to big Norwegian movie titles. Passenger only cost around 15 million U.S. dollars to make and i love to see films such as this being made on a limited budget. We don´t need to make horror films on a 100 million U.S. dollar budget, when you can make really good horror films on a much more limited budget. And since this film is spending a lot of time along a highway it feels like a throwback to similar films of the 1986 classic The Hitcher. That film was obviously a psychological thriller, still you can feel a similar tone in Passenger as i begin to wonder if director André Ovredal might have been inspired by similar films such as The Hitcher. Let´s get into what i feel works well with Passenger and i love how simple this film feels, the plot is very basic and yet it matches well with the horror elements. When you think about how the film is constructed it is either original or different than similar films, but what makes Passenger effective as a horror film is the atmosphere surrounding this journey on the highways. What if you meet someone out there that could destroy your life completely, when you are just trying to travel? One very important detail is the religious undertone of this film. There is a connection to why faith is very important to have, since this Passenger is like a demon from hell and you need faith to fight against it. The Passenger itself is very creepy looking, with long hair and dark demonic eyes, and it matches the storyline pretty good while keeping a dark atmopshere wherever it shows up. The acting especially from the main actors Jacob Scipio and Llobell both give solid performances, where especiallya ctor Joseph Lopez as the Passenger makes the strongest impact. In general i would say that Passenger is a good choice for a horror film, it´s well made, have some effective horror scenes and the plot is actually quite interesting. Definetely a good choice if you enjoyed the previous films from director André Ovredal and if you are interested in reliigion as well.

Capture

Some people don´t want to watch older horror movies, they would rather just watch new releases and don´t even bother to see what titles there are out there from the past. I feel that is a bit sad, because there are some really good horror films out there to choose between. They don´t have to be really old from the 1980´s or the 1990´s, they could be just about 15 years old and still be really good. Well, not all titles might be brilliant, but still worth a watch for a number of different reasons. I could easily pick at least 8 movies during this time period worth a watch, but let´s just focus on one specific title. For example if i mentioned a horror film title released in 2011 called Lovely Molly, how many of you would have said:- Oh i remember that film? This is one of those horror films you don´t hear much about in horror communities worldwide, and honestly i feel it deserves to be talk about. The plot is pretty simple, a newlywed woman named Molly ( played by actress Gretchen Lodge ) moves into her deceased father´s house in the countryside, together with her husband. At first it might seem like a wonderful idea, but the longer she stays there, the more painful it becomes as old memories start to haunt her. Lovely Molly is a mixture of found footage styled horror film, combined with a slow burn atmopshere. When you know this film is directed by Eduardo Sanchez, you know that name have a very special heart among horror fans. The director of the 1999 cult found footage horror film The Blair Witch Project, and he actually use some found footage scenes in Lovely Molly as well. Im not going to say that Lovely Molly is as good as The Blair Witch Project, it´s not. But i do think the film feels effective from a story telling perspective, considering how thin the plot is and yet works so well. Lead actress Gretchen Lodge is really good as Molly, and she is actually the biggest reason why this film feels more creepy as she begin to change mentally, physically, emotionally, the longer she stay inside this house. If you want a good horror film to watch to prepare for Halloween weekend, Lovely Molly on streaming or physical media is a great choice. One of the horror movies i did become curious about that came out earlier this year, is a horror film called Capture from director Bruce Wemble. I found out about this film from a review of British film critic Screen Stars, and the story sounded like something i might enjoy since i enjoyed Lovely Molly. also set inside a cabin. Is this a great choice for horror film this autumn, or is Capture not the film you should choose and pick Lovely Molly instead?

Abby ( Kaitlyn Lunardi ) is a young woman and causing a lot of trouble in her life. Her own sister is even fed up with her. When she is chosen by her parents to inherint their old house, she is shocked but this gives her a chance to start over with her life. What she doesn´t know is the dark past of her parents, and what happened in this house while her mother had sessions with patients she was supposed to help....

Something i remembered while watching Capture is that this film is directed by the same man who made the 2020 horror film The Retreat. This turned out to be a great horror film from director Bruce Wemble and is a well made creature feature horror film, considering the limited budget. His film Capture is quite different from The Retreat and feels more like a supernatural horror film. There is almost a sense that this film could have been inspired by the 2012 horror film Sinister, since the main character Abby find old VHS tapes that´s been recorded for patiemts of a psychiatrist. This is the part of the film that´s actually interesting, what secrets are hidden within the walls of this house? What will these VHS tapes reveal? This part also reminded me a bit of the great 2009 psychological horror film The Fourth Kind with actress Milla Jovovich. Another interesting detail is the main character Abby, played by actress Kaitlyn Lunardi ( who i recognized from the horror film The North Witch, worth checking out ), and why i think her character especially work in this plot is that she is struggling with her adult life. She doesn´t really have any goals in life, she have no idea what to do with herslef other than party, sleep around with guys. Having a young woman like her inside an old house is of course not the best combination, especially when strange things are happening around the house. Since she is already struggling with herself, how much can she take mentally if she have to face something evil within this house? The acting performance from actress Kaitlyn Lunardi is good, she capture the broken soul of the character Kaitlyn and make her look realistic. When it comes to the horror elements there are some creepy horror scenes in this film, where the sound effects help certain horror scenes become even more effective. I would definetely say that this is the best looking film from director Bruce Wemble, and his best horror film so far as well. It´s not a horror film without flaws, but i do think the story works better than i expected. If you are already planning what to watch during Halloween weekend, you should definetely rent or stream Capture on your list of Halloween films this year. A horror film that actually works, for such a simple yet effective premise. Let´s hope i never inherit a house, i might have doubts after my experience with Capture.

Obsession

Falling in love with someone is a wonderful thing, and especially if both people feel that they love each other. I truly believe in real love, that we definetely need this all over the world where we want people to be happy. Loving someone no matter what flaws they have, when you truly love someone it´s ok if you are clumpsy, if you can´t sing, if you have a terrible hand writing, because the person who truly loves you accept the way you are. So im always happy to see people in love, and im hoping that we can keep this wonderful feeling alive among humans of all ages. That includes even older people falling in love, it is never too late to find your partner in life as long as you hold on and believe in yourself. However, if you become obsessed with someone who doesn´t feel the same as you, that could become a huge problem. No matter if we are talking about if you are a fan of an author, an artist, or simply fall in love with a person but in a very obsessed way, this could become a truly horrible situation. There have been a number of films talking about someone becoming obsessed in a person, perhaps perfectly shown in the 1987 classic psychological thriller Fatal Attraction. Seeing legendary actress turn into a complete psycopath in the big screen was really scary, she really goes all in on her performance as the mentally disturbed character Alex Forrest. By the way, also a really strong performance by legendary actor Michael Douglas as well. This is a must see on streaming or physical media if you love psychological thrillers. Speaking of really good psychological thrillers, you have to see the 1990 film Misery, based on the classic book by iconic horror author Stephen King. Legendary actress Kathy Bates gives one of her best acting performances of her career in this film, as the very mentally disturbed woman Annie Wilkies who takes care of her favourite author Paul Sheldon ( brilliant performance by legendary actor James Caan ), after he is in a serious car accident. Misery is a personal favourite film from director Rob Reiner, and you should definetely see this one as well. One good advise though if you get a physical copy of Misery, listen to the commentary track and find out some really interesting details during the making of this film. Speaking about being obsessed with someone, there have especially been one film that have been talked a lot about all summer, and that is the horror film known as Obsessed. I did read some really positive reviews about this film and heard films critics being really positive on radion as well. Now, i was supposed to see Obsession this summer on the big screen, at least that was my plan. I ended watching Masters Of The Universe in cinema instead, wich im still grateful for. So i rented Obsession on digital instead and decided to review this film. Is this as good as many films critics are saying, or is this not even close as good as it should have been?

Baron "Bear" Bailey is deeply in love with one of his female friends, Nikki Freeman ( Inde Navarrette ), they work together in a music store with friends, Ian ( Cooper Tomlisson ) and Sarah ( Megan Lawless ). After Barron´s cat Sandy is found dead, he mourn the death of his close friend. As he visits a crystal shop to buy Nikki a replacement crystal  necklace but instead buy her "One Wish Willow", a novelty toy that claims to grant someone one wish when broken. After a group hangout that night, Nikki asks Bear if he likes her, but he is unable to admit his feelings. Frustrated, he breaks the One Wish Willow and wishes that Nikki loves him more than anyone in the world. His wish do become reality, but Nikki is to become a completely different person than anyone have ever seen....

Do some of you remember the classic 1988 comedy Big with Tom Hanks? Where a young boy use an antique fortune-teller machine called Zoltar, and makes a wish that he could be "big"? Obsession does something similar as the 1988 film Big, but this is of course a horror film with a completely different twist. I do think the idea behind a One Wish Willow is interesting in the context of the plot, if you would imagine that it actually worked if you made one wish. I mean just imagine if you could wish for anything and your wish would litteraly come true, what would you wish for? In this case it is the character Bear ( played really well by actor Michael Johnston, who i recognized from TV series Teen Wolf ), he wants the woman he loves to fall in love with him. I can understand the character of Bear being a man myself, we all had that special crush in our youth and we are afraid they won´t feel the same. The most interesting part of Obssession is of course how the young woman Nikki ( brilliant played by actress Inde Navarrette ) goes completely nuts, becoming completely obsessed in Bear in a very disturbing way. As the film goes on you see how Nikki completely loose control of herself, almost as if she have been possessed by a demon. And you begin to question what is really going on with her mind, did the One Wish Willow give Nikki some kind of evil entity, or is there another explanation to her psychotic behavior? Obsession open up a lot of questions, and give some of the answers that we are looking for. As a psychological horror film i would say this film works really well, especially because of the incredibly strong acting performances. Even if i enjoyed actress Inde Navarrette´s performance in the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, i feel she takes her acting performance to a complete different level in Obsession. This film really show why you can´t force someone to love you, that his has to be a natural process. It´s a very well made film, the horror scenes are very effective from a psychological perspective and the strength of Obsession is without a doubt the acting performances. I still prefer Misery over Obsession for a couple of reasons, but this is still a really solid horror film. One notice as well, considering how low budget this film was made on, this proves that you can make really good quality films while throwing away over 350 U.S. million dollars on Fast X with Vin Diesel. Director Curry Baker clearly wanted to show us with Obsession the danger of being obsessed with someone, and he really manage to find the right tone to make this story really effective. If you love disturbing psychological horror films, this is without a doubt the film you have been looking for.

Speed Demon

Autumn is getting closer and you know what that means. This is the beginning of the season when The Hallmark Channel prepare to release all of their 200 Christmas movies....oh sorry, i meant 204 titles. They are so many it is easy to loose track. Of course they will release their autumn season inspired films at first, and it always seems like The Hallmark Channel posters are so polished that you can´t even make them look filthy. If i am going to watch any Hallmark films it will be Christmas inspired stories, because they are extremely cheesy, with terrible acting and everyone looks like they just had an orgasm underneath the mistletoe. So yes, i would say i am quite easy to entertain. While i do watch some of these terrible films, i prefer to watch Christmas horror movies instead if im being completely honest. Because they can actually be good for a number of reasons, especially if we are talking about classic ones such as the 1974 horror film Black Christmas, I remember the very first time i watched this film, it was a UK DVD release from the distrubution company Tartan Video ( they had a huge catalogue of DVD releases back in the early 2000´s ). A pretty well made Christmas horror movie, with a great cast such as Margot Kidder, Olivia Hussey ( from the TV mini series Stephen King´s IT ) and of course John Saxon ( from the 1984 classic A Nightmare On Elm Street ). The 1974 film Black Christmas is like a traditional slasher horror film, with a simple but effective plot. Worth picking up on physical media especially from distribution company 101 Films. In 2006 we got ourselves a remake of the same name, with a cast full of names i have never heard of before, except for actress Andrea Martin who was in the original Black Christmas film as well. The 2006 remake didn´t have anything unique to offer or felt like a worthy remake to the 1974 film. They did try making a more modern take on Black Christmas, too bad it falled pretty flat. However, it was in this horror remake i encountered actress Katie Cassidy for the very first time. She would later be found in the TV series known as Arrow, which is actually pretty good. I knew that Katie have a role in a horror film called Speed Demon, where she fights the forces of evil on board a train. This film have no physical release yet from what i could see, so i had to rent the film on VOD to actually see it. Being a fan of exorcism horror films in general, is Speed Demon exatly what we need to see as we enter autumn or is this a film you might as well skip and choose a better title in this specific genre?

Sister Lu ( Katie Cassidy ) is travelling on a train with Father Novak ( William H. Macy )), who knows about her struggling addiction past. Sister Lu is still to this day trying to deal with her personal problems, while doing God´s work helping Father Novak. As the journey go on, something strange begins to happen on board this train. It is almost as if an evil force have entered this train to attack Sister Lu and challenge her faith in God.

I have probably seen at least 60 exorcism movies over the years in many different kinds of styles. I have seen traditional exorcism films, i have seen exorcism happning on an airplace, exorcism on a luxury South Seas ocean liner in the 1974 film Voodoo Black Exorcist, i have even see exorcism happening during an online filmed exorcism in the 2019 horror film The Clensing Hour. I will say that the idea behind the plot of Speed Demon is actually not bad at all. I mean, who doesn´t want to see a priest and a nun fighting against a demon while they are travelling on a high speed train? Since we need some plot changes to keep the exorcism genre alive, i think director Jon Keeyes at least tried to bring us something different with Speed Demon. I am a fan of his 2017 film The Harrowing that i actually rented on VOD back when this film was released, a film i feel is still worth watching. I have not seen  all the films from director Jon Keeys since at least 6 years ago, but i can tell he is passionate about telling different horror stories. That becomes clear as well with Speed Demon, however this film does have some issues that i need to talk about. The heavy amount of CGI used in this film, and m not against CGI effects, i definetely prefer CGI than AI effects. My problem with the CGI effects is that they don´t look that good in Speed Demon, especially in certain horror scenes where we are supposed to feel scared. I can accept terrible CGI effects if they work in certain scenes, when you can tell that they actually made an effort to make it work. I just don´t feel that effort here and that is too bad, because i do like the idea behind the main plot. On the positive note i do enjoy the performance of lead actress Katie Cassidy as Sister Lu. I do feel that we get an interesting perspective of her character knowing she is a struggling drug addict, which of course makes this journey quite difficult. Legendary actor Willam H, Macy us here as well as Father Novak, perhaps the strongest acting performance in this film. I am surprised he accepted a role such as this, considering this is more of a low budget horror film. There are a few moments where some horror scenes look ok, but they use way too much bad CGI effects than they should have and that makes this film loose some charm with me. Speed Demon is not the most awful exorcism horror film i have seen, it just could have been so much better than what we are left with. I do appreciate director Jon Keeys movies in general, but somehow Speed Demon don´t have that much to offer. I recommend his 2017 horror film The Harrowing over this one instead.

R.I.P. Tim Curry, A Tribute Review For Tim Coming This Upcoming Halloween!

Greetings everyone!

As a lot of you movie fans worldwide you may have heard the tragic news of legendary actor Tim Curry who passed away. A man who not only brought us so many wonderful performances on theatre stages, but especially on the big screen for audiences worldwide. I could talk about some of his most magical performances over his amazing career, but let me tell you how i discovered him the very first time and it wasn´t in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I remember the very first time i saw Tim Curry on VHS back in 1991 when i was 13 years old ( i was going to turn 14 that summer, but this was during spring of 1991 ). I was at the videostore Videomix and they were putting up a huge wall poster of Stephen King´s IT, the TV mini series based on the very popular book by legendary horror author Stephen King. The picture of actor Tim Curry as the clown Pennywise became iconic that year because people were crazy about this VHS release. I remember that Videomix owner Mikael told me:- I can barely keep a copy in store they are being rented out daily. It got to a point that Mikael had to order more copies to the store, because people were crazy about this rental release. Now, you have to remember, back then most VHS video rental stores never ordered more copies of a TV mini series like this before, so you know this was a big deal back in 1991. So to make sure i got my own copy i went down to the city of Gothenburgh to buy my own copy at the movie store Movieline. After i finally experienced the TV mini series of Stephen King´s IT i finally did understand why this was such an amazing TV horror mini series. Pennnywise was to become a horror icon for horror fans worldwide, and no one could have done this performance as Tim Curry did. I did keep the VHS release for a very long time, until i eventually got the TV mini series on DVD instead ( which i still own from my visit to London many years ago ). It´s been a while now since i watched Stephen King´s IT ( i own a copy of the book as well ), but after the tragic passing of Tim i decided to do something nice in memory of him.

Since Tim Curry tragically passed away i want to honor him by making a special review this upcoming Halloween weekend, by doing a review of the 1990 TV horror mini series of Stephen King´s IT. I know i could have chosen another classic as well from his amazig career, but this TV mini series have always been close to my heart for many years. So, if you want to read this special review in memory of Tim Curry, it will be finished and published by Halloween weekend. Thank you Tim for all the wonderful memories and your work in the movie industry, you will always be remembered.

Life is short, be grateful for each day and take care of yourself everyone.

Hugs from Daniel

Even though i have been mostly to Scotland over the years, i did visit Ireland as well to explore the city of Dublin. The biggest reason i went there in the first place, was to see one of my personal favourite bands of my life, which is the Welsh rock band Stereophonics. Amazing concert and a wonderful night where Stereophonics proved they still deliver after so many years, where i especially experienced the song We Share The Sun live. But since i was staying for about a week in Dublin i decided to see some historical places around the city. For example i went to see Guiness Storehouse, the world famous Guiness museum with 7 floors filled with history, pictures, you get to see brewing history, how Guiness became such an iconic brand all over the world and much more. If you love alcohol and history as well, this is the perfect museum to visit. If you want to relax after checking out all 7 floors of this museum, you can get a drink at the 7th floor at The Gravity Bar. I did walk around the famous Dublin Castle, very beautiful and i can totally understand why the Irish people are proud of this historical castle. Let´s stay within Ireland but let´s talk about a film that was filmed in this country. Did you know that the 2014 horror film Dracula Untold was actually filmed in Northern Ireland? This is a horror film that divided a lot of horror fans, some people enjoyed it while others have several issues with this film. I personally enjoyed this film, it´s not one of the better Dracula related movies but as a horror film it does deliver some solid horror entertainment. Actor Luke Evans as Vlad The Impaler is a fun acting performance, i also have to mention legendary actor Charles Dance does a great performance as Master Vampire. There are some fun battle scenes in this film if you love historical references. Worth a watch on streaming. How many of you saw the 2024 excellent horror film Oddity from Irish director Damian McCarthy? A very fascinating story and really well made, Oddity really surprised me. I really enjoyed this film and i remember hearing about his upcoming film Hokum that was being filmed in Ireland. It was recently released on physical media here in Sweden so of course i had to pick up a copy and review this film as well. Is this just as good as Oddity or is Hokum not as powerful as i was hoping it would be?

American author Ohm Bauman ( Adam Scott ) is a struggling writer who is trying to finish his conclusion to his succesfull "Conquistador" trilogy. After glimpsing the ghost of his mother, Ohm decides to visit The Bilberry Woods Hotel in rural Ireland, where his parents had honeymooned, to lay their ashes to rest. What starts off as an ordinary hotel visit is about to become more strange, in a number of different ways....

If you have seen the 2024 horror film Oddity you might remember how good that film was capturing a very creepy atmosphere, surrounding a very odd wooden full body figure. Even if Hokum tell a completey different story than Oddity, that same creepy atmopshere can be found in Hokum as well. It is almost as if director Damian McCarthy wanted to keep that feeling that Oddity managed to do, make you feel engaged into the story and the characters. Honestly, i would say that this might be the best looking film from director Damian McCarthy. It is a very dark portrait of a depressed writer in the dark Irish landscape, and this combinaion works really well combined . I love the acting by the entire cast including the Irish actors, and the biggest surprise to me personally is how good lead actor Adam Scott ( who i really enjoyed in the American comedy TV series Parks and Recreation ) is as the author Ohm Bauman. One of the reasons why he is so good in this performance, is because his character is a really big asshole, who have no respect for anyone. And this matches well with the story since we are in a very dark place, a hotel that seems to be stuck in time and no big changes have been made within these walls. Bauman is exactly like the hotel, he doesn´t want any changes just minding his own business. The mystery of what is happening within this hotel is told in a fascinating, yet simple way that reminded me a little bit of the Australian horror film The Babadook ( a film everyone should see ). Not that these films have a similar plot, but they are both horror films with a very creepy atmopshere. Hokum is a really good horror film that proves you don´t need lots of blood or gory scenes, as long as you can tell a very effective horror story. Director Damian McCarthy could be one of the most promising horror director´s we have seen in a long time, and with Hokum he really proves that he knows exactly what he is doing with this genre. Lesson learned, never trust a suspicious Irish hotel, just book the most blend Bed & Breakfast hotel you can find instead.

Masters Of The Universe

Let us travel back in time to the year of 1984, when hair spray metal was blooming out, 80´s pop was selling big on the single charts from British rock band Queen´s latest single Radio Ga Ga, Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson released their hit single Say Say Say. It was also in 1984 we had cinema hits such as The Terminator, Gremlins, Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop, Police Academy, Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter, Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom and many more films. 1984 was a magical year for a number of reasons. It was during Christmas of 1984 i got my very first Nintendo 8 bit station with the games Super Mario Bros and Iceman. One other thing i specifically remembered about this year was that our neighbor family The Ostwalds, their youngest son Claes had a big collection of toys from the cartoon series Masters Of The Universe. Since i was 7 years old at this time, i didn´t play with these toys as Claes did ( i think he was 5 years old at this time ). But i did enjoy Masters Of The Universe as a cartoon show, In fact, thanks to The Ostwalds family who rented the show on VHS and i got to see a lot of episodes. It was a fun action packed cartoon show, where the main character Adam who could transform himself to He-Man with his magical sword, became an icon for heroes in many ways wanting to help people in need. 3 years later we got our very first live adaptation of Masters Of The Universe, where action legend Dolph Lundgren was chosen to take on the lead role as He-Man. The film was a box office flop from iconic film distribution company The Cannon Group, but the film have become a cult movie that´s still appreciated by fans of 1980´s films. Especially on physical media where the film found a new audience. I appreciate this film for being somewhat of a 80´s classic and i can easily watch this film again, probably because i love so many of Dolph Lundgren´s best classic films. After many years in development and many ideas brought to the table, it was decided that director Travis Knight would bring back Masters Of The Universe to a new film adaptation. And the actor replacing Dolph Lundgren from the 1987 film would be actor Nicholas Gailtzine. I saw this film in cinema of course and was hoping this would be exactly what i wanted, a fun 80´s throwback. Is this even better than expected, or is the latest version of Masters Of The Univverse even worse than anyone could have imagined?

In Eternos, the capital city of the planet Eternia, a young Prince Adam ( Artie Wilkinson-Hunt ) and his friend young Teela ( Eire Farell ) are trained in the art of battle by Duncan ( Idris Elba ), the king´s Man-At-Arms and Teela´s father. The city is attacked by forces led by Skeletor, who captures Adam´s parents, King Randor ( James Purefoy ) and Queen Marlena ( Charlotte Riley ). Skeletor want to take the Sword Of Power, but The Sorceress ( Morena Baccariu ) will never allow this to happen. She open a portal to Adam to travel to Earth to live there protected and making sure he keeps the sword with him. In the portal he loose the sword, while he crash lands into water. 15 years later Adam ( Nicholas Galitzine ) is working an ordinary day job at a office, while living in his friend Hussein´s ( Christian Vunipola ) apartment. Adam have been searching for this sword online, asking around if anyone have seen this specific sword. He get´s contacted by a man who claims to know where it is, inside a comic book store. Adam must get this sword and figure out a way to get back to Eternia, making sure that Skeletor will pay for the crimes he commited.

I have heard some reviews where they complained that they didn´t like that Adam is not much more manly before he turns into He-Man, i personally don´t have a problem with that. I think it´s good we get to see two different sides of his personality when we see Adam transform into He-Man, that even when he gets his powers he still is the same individual inside his heart. There are a lot of details to appreciate with Masters Of The Universe and let´s talk about this for a while. This film capture some 80´s nostalgia moments with the right colors, the costume design from the cartoon series, and when they add music from legendary British rock band Queen you can´t ask for more. It´s almost like we are back on the fields of Scotland in Highlander with Christopher Lambert, but here we experience these battles in Eternia instead. Lead actor Nichloas Galitzine ( who i recognized from the Netflix film Purple Hearts ) as Adam ( and He-Man ), deliver a fun, energetic acting performance and i have to say he is quite funny in some scenes as well. I especially love his battle scenes towards Skeletor´s army towards the end that are far more brutal than i expected, and i love that they did not hold back on the violence. There are several great casting choices here such as actor Idris Elba as He-Man´s mentor and partner Duncan. I also appreciate actress Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn ( i love her costume design by the way ), because shes both funny and evil combined in her performance that works better than i expected. Actress Morena Baccarin as The Sorceress is a perfect match, she manage to capture the personality of The Sorceness in such a magical way. Of course we have Skeletor with the voice of Jared Leto ( who i am not a fan of, for personal reasons ), i do think the character of Skeletor is fun with some cheeky dialogue in certain scenarios. The action scenes are pretty intense with epic battle scenes, and i think the character development in this film show that you can succeed making a good movie live adaptation of a cartoon show. Masters Of The Universe may not be everyone´s cup of tea, but for me growing up watching the cartoon series this is a fun action adventure, with some quite unexpected funny dialogue as well. If you love the 80´s in general this could be exactly what you are looking for. Maybe a little bit too long, otherwise i have nothing negative to say. Director Travis Knight have definetely made the best film adaptation so far of Masters Of The Universe and i think this film could be appreciated for many generations ahead.

The Gates

Friends is very important to have in life, and i don´t mean you have to have many. If you just have a best friend that´s fantastic as well. To be able to do different things with a friend, or several, as long as you enjoy the company and like the personality. I usually look at it this way, i rather have some friends only than many, because these friends accept me for who i really am. You can of course have other types of friendship, such as between brothers or sisters. Let´s speak about the friendship between brothers for a while and focus on one specific film from 2001. In the psychological thriller Joy Ride from director John Dahl ( director of the 1998 classic film Rounders with Matt Damon ), we meet a man named Lewis ( Paul Walker ), who is going on a road trip with his brother Fuller ( Steve Zahn ), and Lewis female friend Venna ( Leelee Sobieski ). Fuller has a CB radio installed in Lews car and the two begin listening in on trucker´s chatter.  Fuller coaxes Lewis into playing a prank on a truck driver nicknamed Rusty Nail ( Matthew Kimbrough ), asking him to pretend to be a woman named Candy Cane. They set up a meeting with Rusty Nail in a motel, what started as a prank will soon turn into a pure nightmare. Joy Ride is a really effective road thriller with great acting performances, and the film looks good as well. The thriller influences match very well with the story, and even if the story is nothing unique i feel that it is told powerful enough. This is actually my personal favourite Paul Walker film and i think his screen prescence with Steve Zahn works well. By the way, this film have a great soundtrack from the early 2000´s that match the look of this film. If you love road thrillers then you should definetely check out Joy Ride on streaming or physical media. Since i mentioned friendship early in this review, i checked out the thriller The Gates from director John Burr on VOD. A thriller about 3 young male friends, who end up having a truly awful night. The trailer looked interesting and the movie poster is simple but effective. Is this a thriler you should check out this late summer, or is The Gates not worth spending your precious time on?

3 young men, Derek ( Mason Gooding ), Kevin ( Algee Smith ) and Tyon ( Keith Powers ) have all be invited to a house party with several hot women, all waiting for the men to show up. They take a detour and end up in a community they have never heard of. At first this seems to be an ordinary neighborhood, until they witness a possible murder and put themselves in a lot of trouble....

While i was watching The Gates i was reminded of the 2017 psychological horror film Get Out, directed Jordan Peele. If you have seen that movie you might remember it tells the story about a society where black people are seen as trash basically, where you can tell there are several rascist minds within this society. The Gates does something similar where we see a neighborhood built basically to keep black people away, especially to make sure they don´t have any crimes commited by a black person. Hearing that you would think that´s insane, but there are actually communities out there like this in America still today. You would think that we have developed more as human beings and see humans as equals, unfortunately we are not that far. The Gates is basically a traditional thriller where 3 men witness a possible murder, and pretty much get the blame for it because they are black. The plot is not original in any way, or take any unexpected turns. But what this film manage to do is work as a thriller regarding racism, as well as showing how a society can fall when the wrong people should not be the leader of this community. The acting in general is actually pretty good, but the 3 main actors Mason Gooding, Algee Smith and Keith Powers all pull off realistic performances, being victims of racism. I also enjoy the performance of actor Brad Leland ( who i remember from the TV series Friday Night Lives ), as the character Christopher, and of course i have to mention actor James Van De Beek as the psychotic Pastor Jacob, a really fun performance. I appreciate that The Gates try to show us a realistic view in how a racist society could look like, so we see how horrible people can be just because someone´s color of their skin. The thriller aspects are good and i like the portait of these civilians living in society, who don´t want to live in reality. One scene i felt was silly was a recording of a rap song, comes out of nowhere and doesn´t really feel like this scene belong in this film. I understand the message of the scene, it just didn´t do anything for me personally. Overall i like The Gates, and i feel that director John Burr manage to tell a simple, yet effective thriller story. One thing is for sure, i will be careful visiting the wrong church after watching The Gates.

Daniel´s B Movie Summer Madness: Ouija Witch ( 2023 )

If there is one thing i really appreciate to do every summer it is to watch low budget independent horror films. Doesn´t really matter what the category is, as long as it´s independent films i am all in for many different categories. This has become like a tradition for me personally, to find different independent horror films and watch them during summer for my segment Daniel´s B Movie Madness. What is so fun about this is that i get to discover independent films i have never heard of, or i might have seen a poster at least of one of the films but know nothing about the plot. I try to go into each film knowing as little as possible, that makes it more fun in case i would be surprised over the quality of the film, or if i find something else that i appreciate. The most difficult part is always knowing what film to choose, since there are so many independent horror films released every single year. So sometimes i have to just pick a title and hope i will enjoy it, you just have take a chance in case i find something good. For example back in 2022 on this segment, i did a review for the 2018 independent horror film known as Extremity. The film had an interesting concept for a horror film, the problem was that it didn´t really work all the way. This film was supposed to show different ways how to torture certain individuals, and i do think the idea itself is interesting, but the horror scenes are far too lame which affected my view on this film. If you are going to do something that´s meant to be brutal, why not go all in for it and actually make an effort? Extremity is not a terrible film, there are some good scenes to be enjoyed, but it feels like director Anthony DiBlasi could have done so muh more with the concept of this film. So, since i decided to choose an independent film for this summer on my segment Daniel´s B Movie Summer Madness, i decided to pick the 2023 independent horror film known as Ouija Witch. One of the biggest reasons why i picked this specific film was that the movie poster looked intersting. Definetely a low budget horror movie poster, but seemed to match the title. Over the years i have seen several films which includes the title Ouija included, but i didn´t know anything about the film Ouija Witch other than seeing the poster. Is this a surprisingly good independent horror film, or should you choose something else to watch instead of Ouija Witch?

Young struggling woman Sarah Byrne get seriously assaulted one night by a bar visitor named Isaac Cross ( Ryan M. Shaw ). After getting up and trying to deal with what happened to her, she is invited to a strange woman named Lilith ( Sean Young ), who runs her own shop of mysterious objects and does seances. She finds out what happened to Sarah and make her joina seance, to let the spirit of  the dead with Mary Blackwood, resurrect to revenge those who hurted Sarah. At first this is what Sarah wanted, until she see that this witch have other plans as well.

I have to admit that this film started off quite boring if im being honest. We get a ouija seance scene that we have seen so many times before, the trick is to make the scene interesting and actually combine interesting characters with an interesting plot. I don´t mind if you use a similar theme in a horror scene, as long as you make it work. This is why i feel this film could have started off much more effective than what we are served. Where i finally find myself enjoying certain details about Ouija Witch is when we are introduced to the character known as Sarah Byrne ( played by actress Miley Rose ). I do think this is a great chartacter for a horror film such as this, since we have influences of withces in here, and that is where we need a solid character to make the witch story more interesting. Sarah is a cool, confident young woman and actress Miley Rose pull off this perfomance withou any problems. I also like her screen chemistry between her and actor Jeremy Dean playing the character Derek Hart. The most interesting part of the film is where we see how Sarah digs into the witch mystery of Mary Blackwood, where Sarah summon her spirit through a ouija board, Actor Ryan M. Shaw as the asshole character Isaac Cross is exactly what this film needed, a pure asshole of a character that blends well ino the story. We even have legendary 1980´ss actress Sean Young here, who deliver some good dialogue. Even if it takes a while for Ouija Witch to find the right tone for a witch horror film, i would say it finally manage to make the main story of the witch Mary Blackwood interesting. Even if this horror film is made on a limited budget, it´s a good looking, the acting is actually not too bad, and some of the elements work pretty good. My issues with this film would probably be some dialogue scenes feel a little bit stretched out, as if they just focused more on delivering dialogue scene than actually creepy horror scenes with the witch. That was a mistake if you ask me, they do have an interesting story here so why not use it properly? Either way, for a independent horror film i do thing this film have enough charming details that you might enjoy, if you are a fan of low budget horror films such as myself. Director Robert Michael Ryan ( director of the slasher horror film Popeye The Slayer Man ) deliver a film that may especially for you who love witches in horror films. It´s not unique or intelligent, it´s more like an old school throwback to 1980´s horror film that succeed to please fans of this specific genre.

Box Office Bombs In Cinema History: Windtalkers ( 2002 )

It is not easy knowing what the audience wants to see on the big screen. Obviously there are certain movie franchises that will get an audience such as Avatar. But if you look at the majority of cinema releases each year, there is no guarantee certain films will make any profit at all. Even if you have a great cast included and have a great director on board the project, still doesn´t mean the audience will be there. A perfect example of this is the 2001 buddy cop action thriller 15 Minutes, directed by John Herzfeld ( the director of the great 1996 film 2 Days in the Valley ). I saw this film in cinema and actually enjoyed it, i think actors Robert De Niro and Edward Burns had a great chemistry on the big screen, i also enjoyed the performance by Fraser actor Kelsey Grammer. The action scenes were fun and i did like the migrant villains in this film. It didn´t matter if 15 Minutes had several great action scenes and some pretty good acting performances, the audience didn´t seem to be interested. On a budget of 43 million U.S. dollars the film only made around 56 million U.S. dollars worldwide totally. If you think about the budget, this film would have needed at least to cross around 100 million U.S. dollars in ticket sales. The good news though is that the DVD release of 15 Minutes actually helped the film, from what i understand in America alone the DVD rental numbers were pretty good at that time, while in the UK the DVD release didn´t make the same impact. Even though this is a box office bomb from the year of 2001, i still think 15 Minutes is a solid film. Especially if you love Robert De Niro movies in general, you should pick up a DVD copy. Speaking of box office bombs i decided to do a segment review called Box Office Bombs In Cinema History. Since there are a lot of box office bombs to choose between, so i decided to pick the 2002 war movie Windtalkers from legendary Hong Kong director John Woo ( the director of the Hong Kong action cult films The Killer, and Hard Boiled, both films you should see). I have seen the theatrical version of this film plus the director´s cut as well, I actually saw Windtalkers in cinema back in the summer of 2002. I was wondering if i should review the director´s cut but for this review i decided to review the theatrical version, since we are talking about cinema releases. With a quite big celebrity cast included, is this a war movie you should see or are there far more better releases such as Apocalypse Now Redux worth watching instead?

During World War II , U.S Marine corporal Joe Enders ( Nicolas Cage ) returns to active duty after surviving on the Solomon Ilands against the Imperial Japanese Army that killed his entire squad and wounded his left ear. Enders and Sgt Pete "Ox" Hendersson ( Christian Slater ) recieve new assignments to protect Navajo code talkers Pvt. Ben Yahzee ( Adam Beach ) and Pvt. Charlie Whitehorse ( Roger Willie ) in a JASCO. Yahtzee and Whitehorse, childhood friends from the Navao tribe, are trained to send and receive coded messages that direct artillery fire. With their knowledge they might have a chance to strike out their enemy.

I might be completely wrong but i have a theory why Windtalkers flopped at the box office. The film came out in June of 2002 in America ( while the film came out in August here in Sweden that year ), and as we all know it´s usually the box office blockbusters that makes most of the cash during summer. I mean, if you look at the box office summer releases of June, 2002, how was Windtalkers supposed to have a chance against Steven Spielberg´s latest film Minority Report, the live film adaptation of Scooby Doo and of course The Bourne Identity released in the same month? Plus you had Star Wars Episode II - Attack Of The Clones released a month earlier, which did really well at the box office. It doesn´t really matter now i suppose, let´s just talk about Windtalkers in general and let me give you my personal opinion. One of the most interesting details regarding Windtalkers is that the film is inspired by real stories of code talkers from the Navajo nation during World War II. The fact that these people managed to find out secret codes being sent out, who probably never would have been solved without the Navajo soldiers. This is definetely a different story than we usually see from films taking place during World War II, and i like the fact that director John Woo wanted to tell this story and how important it was having Navajo soldiers during the war. Just imagine if they never would have found out the secret codes, could that have affected the war somehow? The acting performances from actors Adam Beach and Roger Willie as Navajo tribe soldiers Private Ben Yahzee, and Private Charlie Whitehouse are solid and they definetely leave an important impact on this film. One of my issues with this film is the character development, for example Christian Slater´s character Seargent Peter feels more like Christian Slater in a soldier´s clothes, but don´t feel like a Seargent character. I like his scenes when he looks more like an ordinary soldier, with some descent dialogue scenes. Nicolas Cage as the character Seargent Joe works better, as if he actually tried to portait his character with some actual acting effort. That doesn´t mean the full performance is great, it´s not. As well all know Nicolas Cage loves to do over the top acting, and he does this as well in Windtalkers. The real strength of this film is the war scenes and the brutality of war. It´s far from some of the best war scenes we have seen on camera, but since director John Woo knows how to make violent films effective, he knows how to capture that feeling even in a war film. The brutality of Worls War II is definetely captured on camera in some of the most brutal scenes. I mentioned earlier that i review the theatrical version of Windtalkers and that is still correct, i should just mention that the director´s cut version show some different details that actually makes that version more interesting. Windtalkers is a war movie that may not be as good as some war movie classics, but if you are a fan of World War II movies then this could be something for you. I still feel that Windtalkers have an interesting story to tell, worth a watch on streaming or on physical media.
