Black Phone 2 Movie Review — the chilling return of The Grabber.

From visionary horror filmmaker Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange, Sinister) and writer C. Robert Cargill, Black Phone 2 is the haunting continuation of the 2022 horror phenomenon. Four years after Finn (Mason Thames) escaped the clutches of The Grabber (Ethan Hawke), evil calls again — this time targeting his sister, Gwen (Madeleine McGraw), through terrifying dreams and visions that lead them to a snow-covered camp called Alpine Lake.

I found Black Phone 2 to be a near-perfect sequel — one that’s just as good as the original, matching its tension, supernatural dread, and emotional core. While it doesn’t completely reinvent the formula, it expands the world, deepens the trauma, and delivers a story that’s both chilling and heartfelt.

From Ethan Hawke’s return as the nightmarish Grabber to Derrickson’s grimy, dreamlike direction that echoes Sinister and Nightmare on Elm Street, Black Phone 2 is proof that Blumhouse still knows how to craft great horror sequels.

In this review, I break down what makes Black Phone 2 work so well, what could’ve pushed it even further, and why it’s one of the best horror sequels in recent years.

Tron: Ares Movie Review — pure visual noise powered by a killer soundtrack.From director Joachim Rønning (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) comes Tron: Ares, the long-awaited follow-up to Tron: Legacy. Starring Jared Leto, Greta Lee, and Evan Peters, this neon-soaked sci-fi epic explores the collision between humanity and artificial intelligence in dazzling, digital style.Visually, Tron: Ares is stunning — filled with striking effects, slick action, and a pulsating Nine Inch Nails score that absolutely shreds. Greta Lee stands out with a magnetic performance that adds much-needed energy to the grid.But beneath the glow and spectacle, the film struggles to find its emotional core. Borrowing tropes from countless AI-driven sci-fi classics, Tron: Ares often feels hollow — a surface-level experience that never reaches the depth its ideas promise.In this review, I dive into why Tron: Ares is a feast for the eyes but a miss for the heart, what makes the NIN score the film’s saving grace, and how it stacks up against Tron: Legacy.Don’t forget to LIKE the video, SUBSCRIBE for more reviews, and let me know in the comments: Did Tron: Ares live up to the hype or crash and burn in the grid?

The Smashing Machine Movie Review

From writer-director Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems) comes The Smashing Machine, the story of MMA legend Mark Kerr (played by Dwayne Johnson). Alongside Emily Blunt as Dawn Staples, the film showcases Johnson in the most transformative, career-defining role of his career. His powerhouse performance, paired with Safdie’s raw, intimate direction, makes the movie feel deeply personal and at times unforgettable.

But while Johnson and Safdie deliver, the script doesn’t. Generic and melodramatic in parts, it often reduces Kerr’s struggles to surface-level drama and sidelines Emily Blunt’s character. Without Johnson’s commanding performance and Safdie’s unique vision, The Smashing Machine wouldn’t land nearly as hard.

In this review, I dive into what works brilliantly, where the story falters, and why this movie is both powerful and frustrating at the same time.

Marvel Zombies Review — Marvel Studios goes full horror in this animated event.

Marvel Studios’ Marvel Zombies is here, and it’s everything fans of post-apocalyptic horror could have hoped for. Paying homage to iconic classics while injecting fun MCU twists, this is a bloody, brutal, and wildly entertaining story that horror and Marvel fans alike will eat up.

Packed with jaw-dropping zombie action, shocking moments, and one of the coolest team-ups in Marvel Animation yet (Blade/Moon Knight for the win!), Marvel Zombies feels like a love letter to the horror genre. My only complaint? I wish it had been longer!

In this review, I break down why Marvel Zombies works so well, the standout characters, and why this series is a must-watch for fans of both Marvel and horror.

HIM Movie Review — Jordan Peele & Monkeypaw’s latest horror tale misses the mark.

From Oscar® winner Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions (Get Out, Us, Candyman, Nope) comes HIM, a psychological horror centered on fame, idolatry, and the pursuit of greatness at any cost. Starring Marlon Wayans in a career-best dramatic performance alongside rising star Tyriq Withers, the film sets up a chilling premise with trippy visuals, unsettling vibes, and powerhouse performances.

But despite the talent both in front of and behind the camera, HIM never lives up to its potential. While it teases being the horror GOAT of 2025, uneven themes, on-the-nose storytelling, and a rushed finale keep it from greatness. Instead, it lands as a disappointing, Twilight Zone-style story that’s more frustrating than frightening.

In this review, I break down what works, what doesn’t, and why HIM ultimately fails to deliver on its bold promise.

If you’re curious about HIM, a fan of Jordan Peele’s productions, or wondering whether Marlon Wayans can carry a horror film, this review is for you!

One Battle After Another Movie Review is a Paul Thomas Anderson crafts another masterpiece.

From Warner Bros. Pictures and Academy Award-nominated, BAFTA-winning filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson comes One Battle After Another, a sweeping new drama starring *Leonardo DiCaprio, Benicio del Toro, Sean Penn, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti, Wood Harris, and Alana Haim. With an ensemble this powerful and Anderson’s visionary touch, the result is nothing short of breathtaking.

For me, One Battle After Another is simply one of the best films of this decade—a true masterpiece of storytelling, performance, and cinematic craft. In this review, I break down why Anderson’s direction is some of his finest yet, how DiCaprio and the cast deliver awards-worthy performances, and why this film will be remembered for years to come.

Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and the Hashira descend into the terrifying Infinity Castle to face Muzan Kibutsuji in a battle that defines the fate of the Demon Slayer Corps. With breathtaking animation, jaw-dropping choreography, and some of the best fight scenes ever put on screen in anime, Infinity Castle delivers on spectacle in a way that few anime films ever have.

But while the fights are unforgettable and the stakes couldn’t be higher, the film’s length and pacing hold it back from being the truly perfect experience it could have been. In this review, I dive into what worked brilliantly, where it dragged, and why Infinity Castle is both a near masterpiece and a test of patience.

If you’re a Demon Slayer fan, an anime lover, or just wondering if Infinity Castle sticks the landing as the franchise’s grand finale, this review is for you!

The Long Walk Movie Review | A Masterpiece

Stephen King’s first-written novel finally makes its way to the big screen with The Long Walk, directed by Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Mockingjay, Songbirds & Snakes). What unfolds is a haunting, gut-wrenching, and unforgettable adaptation that I consider a masterpiece—yet one I could never bring myself to watch again.

In this review, I break down why The Long Walk is such a brutal, emotional experience: what worked, why it’s so effective, and how its unflinching bleakness makes it both one of King’s best adaptations and one of the most difficult to revisit.
