Spoiler-Free Review of “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come” in Theaters: Samara Weaving & Kathryn Newton Make a Bloody Fun Team!

**This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“To surviving till dawn…again.”

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come released in theaters on March 20th 2026. The horror sequel film stars Samara Weaving, Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy and Elijah Wood. The film runs for approximately an hour and fifty minutes.

Picking up right where we left off, Grace is rushed to the hospital where she is reunited with her sister, Faith. Only they soon discover that the game is far from over and are tossed right into a new one with even higher stakes as powerful families fight over who can kill them first.

Here is the trailer:

The Pros:

Talk about a dream team…

I was beyond excited when I found out that Kathryn Newton was cast as Grace’s sister and wow did she deliver! This should really come as no surprise since she’s wonderful in everything, but these two together were an unstoppable force. I couldn’t get enough of them! Their banter was a lot of fun and they were really bad-ass too. I’ll take 10 more movies of these two covered in blood.

The rest of the cast was amazing as well. Sarah Michelle Gellar ALWAYS understands the assignment! It was such a great experience seeing her on the big screen again.

So much fun!

Similar to the first movie, this film had the perfect balance of horror and comedy, making this an absolute blast to experience. I plan on seeing this several more times in the theater. This film recognized the stakes and just went all out with it and that ending was out of this world! Loved every second of it!

The Cons:

I wanted a touch more screen time for some of the other players.

I really don’t have many cons for this movie. I absolutely loved it from start to finish. If I had to nitpick, I would say that some of the other players deserved a little more screen time, but I didn’t need this film to be any longer than it was.

I was also expecting a post-credit scene to tie up a loose end, but we didn’t get one. Oh well…

So am I in or out?

I’m in 100 percent!!!!

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is an absolute blast, delivering just as much as the original film with plenty of laughs and bloody moments galore.

Samara Weaving and Kathryn Newton are FANTASTIC together!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Wuthering Heights” in Theaters: A Pretty Rendition

**This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“I will never leave you no matter what you do…”

Wuthering Heights released in theaters on February 13th 2026. The Gothic love story film (based on the novel by Emily Brontë) stars Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi, Shazad Latif, Hong Chau, and Alison Oliver. The film runs for approximately two hours and fifteen minutes.

After being raised together as children, Catherine and Heathcliff fall madly in love with one another, but as the years go by, Catherine realizes that she has a decision to make between true happiness and wealth and stability.

Here is the trailer:

Wuthering Heights is gorgeous from start to finish in every detail, but does it do enough to be worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures

Beautiful to look at.

Every scene took my breath away in the best way possible. From the scenery to Margot Robbie’s wardrobe, to the lighting used…every inch of this film was dipped in sheer beauty. It felt like I had stepped into a painting featuring the famous moors. I was honestly very impressed by how well this film captured the aesthetics it was going for.

Well done!

Margot Robbie was fantastic.

I have read this novel many times and have to say that I was very pleased with Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Catherine. I thought that she was magnetic on screen. The chemistry between her and Elordi was electric. The passion was certainly there and while it may have been a little overkill at times, I thought that both actors really channeled a lot here. The love between them felt destructive and ethereal at the same time.

The Cons:

Needed to dig a little deeper…

My only issue with this film is that it glossed over a lot of the important themes in the novel. I needed it to touch on a little bit more to convince me. This is one of the most famous love stories and while there was certainly passion and tragedy thrown in, I also felt like we needed some more gut-wrenching moments to truly sell me on it.

Seeing tears and then a gorgeous shot in the sunlight of someone leaving isn’t enough for me to understand just how much this impacts the characters. I know it does because I read the novel, but for someone just watching the film, they probably needed something with more grit and substance to fully comprehend the love story portrayed.

So am I in or out?

I’m in…

Wuthering Heights is a solid enough version of this classic love story with believable performances, undeniable chemistry, and exquisite scenery.

While I had some issues with this film, I still enjoyed my watch overall.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Scream 7” in Theaters: Neve Campbell Brings the Nostalgia

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“There SHE is…”

Scream 7 released in theaters on February 27th 2026. The seventh installment of my favorite franchise of all time gives fans a chance to see Neve Campbell on the big screen as Sidney Prescott (Evans) once again. The slasher horror film stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Isabel May, Joel McHale, Matthew Lillard, Anna Camp, Ethan Embry, Mason Gooding, and Jasmin Savoy Brown. The film runs for approximately an hour and fifty-six minutes.

Sidney has built a quiet life with her family in a small town, but a Ghostface threat from her past begins to target her and her teenage daughter.

Here is the trailer:

Scream 7 has a nostalgic feel to it with Kevin Williamson directing, bringing fans of the franchise plenty of Easter eggs and heartwarming moments to appreciate, but does it do enough to measure up to the other films? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Welcome back, Sidney Prescott!

Even though I absolutely loved Scream VI and it was one of my favorite entries of the franchise, there was something missing…and her name is Sidney Prescott (Evans). Well, Sidney is back as our leading lady in the seventh film and it was amazing seeing her in this role once again. She was bad-ass and resilient, reminding everyone that she is definitely not “past her prime.”

If you came to see Sidney, you’ll get plenty of her in this film.

This film did have a lot of nostalgia surrounding it and I appreciated that we finally took the time to talk about certain character deaths that were always glossed over in the previous films. I thought this was a nice touch.

Solid cast with FANTASTIC cameos!

In addition to Neve Campbell returning, we got to see several more familiar faces and I thought everyone did a great job here. The cameos were amazing and Matthew Lillard is on another level! I loved every second of it!

The newcomers did an OK job, but I think they should have been given a little bit more to do…

The Cons:

The stakes didn’t seem as high…

For some reason, this felt like such a tame entry. There were too many survivors in the end and a lot of the kills felt toned down. I just never felt any sense of real danger for our characters here.

I also wasn’t a huge fan of Sidney’s daughter. I thought she was kind of boring and her friends were even worse. Usually I invest a lot in these characters so I care more when their lives are put in danger, but that didn’t really happen here with a few exceptions.

I thought the opening sequence was solid and there was a nice balance of laughs and slasher fun, but it did feel very dialed down. The killer reveal was also just kind of meh.

That being said, I’ll always love the Scream movies and I still had a lot of fun watching this one. I guess I just wanted more.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Scream 7 gives Neve Campbell a chance to shine once again as Sidney Prescott with some bloody fun cameos to be excited about. Overall this was a tame, but entertaining popcorn watch.

This was probably one of my least favorite entries to the franchise, but I still enjoyed it.

I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on Scream 7 in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Paradise” Season 2 on Hulu: Off to a Solid Start!

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“I guess some things aren’t worth fixing anymore…”

Paradise (season 2) premiered on Hulu on February 23rd 2026 with the first three episodes available to stream now. There are eight episodes in total that air weekly. The thriller series stars Sterling K. Brown, Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi, Shailene Woodley, and Thomas Doherty. Each episode runs for approximately 48-56 minutes.

After finding out some shocking truths, Xavier Collins attempts to reach the surface to find answers, putting him in more danger than he anticipates.

Here is the trailer:

Paradise (season 2) is already hooking its audience once again, providing us with an immersive experience that will keep you guessing. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Each episode feels like a mini movie!

I mean this in the best possible way. I honestly lost track of time watching the first three episodes. Each one had a very different feel to it, but they each hooked me in such a compelling way. I am even more invested this time around than I was in season one after that major reveal. Now, I can sit back and appreciate everything happening around me and it’s leading to more questions that I’m desperate to find out the answers to!

So far the pacing is on point and this show is doing a very good job of reeling us in, exploring a whole new world we only had glimpses at before.

Welcomed newcomers!

I could watch Sterling K. Brown scour the earth and be content because he is such a remarkable and capable actor. Having said that, it was really nice and refreshing to have some new faces in this, including the wonderful and brilliant Shailene Woodley. I am a big fan of her work and she is already drawing me in so much with her character. I’m anxious to find out more and looking forward to more character connections.

The Cons:

Less interested in the world of Paradise now…

Don’t get me wrong…it’s still really riveting and we certainly have a lot of moving pieces right now to keep us busy. However, I am a little bit more interested in what’s going on above ground so I don’t want to bounce around too much during the episodes. I found myself slightly underwhelmed with episode three, but the first two episodes were very strong. I just hope we have enough time to cover everything because we have a lot going on in season two.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Paradise season 2 manages to remain compelling and unique with its story-telling, taking us on an intense roller coaster ride filled with plenty of twists and turns.

I can’t wait to watch the rest of the episodes!

Spoiler-Free Review of “The Night Agent” Season 3 on Netflix: A Step in the Right Direction!

**This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“It’s on me…I need to fix it.”

The Night Agent season 3 premiered on Netflix on February 19th 2026 with ten episodes available to stream now. The action-thriller series stars Gabriel Basso, David Lyons, Genesis Rodriguez, Stephen Moyer, Jennifer Morrison, Callum Vinson, Catherine Weaver, Louis Herthum and Fola Evans-Akingbola. Each episode runs for approximately 48-55 minutes.

After being sent to Istanbul to find a whistle-blower, Peter suspects that he may be innocent and involved in a conspiracy that runs deep within the White House.

Here is the trailer:

The Night Agent season three has a different feel to it, but it works extremely well, bringing the audience a solid balance of action, twists, and character development. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Adapts with perfect execution.

Season 1 was absolutely incredible to watch. I was anxiously pressing play with each episode. Season 2 still had a solid run, but I was starting to wonder if this show was running out of steam. Well, it made a few tweaks and took the show in a new direction, but it worked so well!

This season was incredible to watch. Gabriel Basso was his strongest yet and I thought the story-telling mixed with action worked perfectly. I finished my watch in a little over a day. It was fantastic to watch unfold and I was shocked with every reveal along the way.

A cast to be excited about!

I didn’t know how season 3 would feel without Rose in it, but I have to say that I didn’t miss her even a little bit. There was nothing wrong with that character, but I think her story played out at the end of season two and she was hindering Peter from reaching his full potential because he was constantly worried about protecting her.

Without that distraction, Peter became a much more interesting character and someone to seriously root for. It was also great to see Fola Evans-Akingbola return as Chelsea. She got some more screen time this time around, which was well deserved!

We also got some welcomed newcomers in season three featuring some actors from some of my other favorite shows (Once Upon a Time’s Jennifer Morrison, True Blood’s Stephen Moyer). The cast was truly exceptional this time around and every character had an important part in this, making me invest that much more in the outcomes.

The Cons:

Too much time spent on flashbacks.

Overall, I thought this was a terrific season and I really don’t have many cons, but I think we spent just a touch too long fleshing out certain flashbacks, which impacted the pacing in a few episodes. I absolutely get the point of them, but I was anxious to get back to the intense action on more than one occasion.

So am I in or out?

I’m in 100 percent!!!

The Night Agent season 3 matches the intensity of season one while weaving together a calculated and deliberate plot filled with shocking reveals and plenty of action.

It’s safe to say that I am still a huge fan of The Night Agent. This season was BRILLIANT!

Only they didn’t realize that breaking this rule meant they would be hunted down on the island one by one.

Spoiler-Free Review of “How to Make a Killing” in Theaters: A Charming Dark Comedy

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“I should warn you…it’s a tragedy.”

How to Make a Killing is a dark comedy thriller film that released on February 20th 2026. The film stars Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, Topher Grace, and Ed Harris. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-five minutes.

Becket Redfellow is down on his luck and makes the rash decision to change his circumstances, leading him to contemplate murdering his relatives one by one to finally get what he has been entitled to for all these years.

Here is the trailer:

How to Make a Killing is a fun dark comedy featuring a terrific performance by Glen Powell. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Glen Powell is brilliant!

I’ve been a fan of his since the Scream Queens days and while he has certainly gotten a lot of terrific roles lately, I’ve been waiting to see him in something a little more suited to his talents and I think we got that with this film.

He was the BEST part of this movie and had twisted charisma that worked perfectly with this character. I’d love to see him take on more roles like this in the future, embracing his dark side a little bit.

Margaret Qualley is always a joy to watch and I hope to see Jessica Henwick in more too. We definitely got a great cast here!

Doesn’t take itself too seriously.

The dark humor really worked well in this film. This could have easily felt very boring and dragged out, but instead there was such an entertaining quality to it. I never looked at the time even once. When films embrace what they should be and just go with it effortlessly, that’s when we often get magic on screen and I thought this film captured the vibe it was going for in a delightful way without trying to do too much.

The Cons:

Mixed feelings on the ending.

It wasn’t bad by any means, but I guess I was expecting something different at the end of this film. Overall, I really enjoyed everything so I wouldn’t say this was a major con, but I was anticipating something a little bit more cheeky at the very end.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!

How to Make a Killing is absolutely delightful and a pleasant surprise!

Glen Powell showed off his diabolical charm with style.

I enjoyed this one a lot more than I thought I would and definitely recommend it if you’re in the mood for something American Psycho-lite.

I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts on How to Make a Killing in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Spoiler-Free Review of “56 Days” on Prime Video: A Guilty Pleasure Thriller to Get You Through the Weekend

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“I think secrets are destructive…”

56 Days premiered on Prime Video on February 18th 2026 with all eight episodes available to stream now. The limited erotic thriller series (based on the novel of the same name) stars Dove Cameron, Avan Jogia, Karla Souza, Dorian Missick, and Megan Peta Hill. Each episode is approximately 48-52 minutes long.

After Oliver and Ciara meet in a supermarket, they begin an intense relationship with one another, but when a corpse turns up 56 days later in Oliver’s apartment, dark secrets from their past are revealed, potentially connecting them to the murder.

Here is the trailer:

56 Days is a trashy, but intriguing enough thriller with a few surprises along the way. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Undeniable chemistry between the leads.

Dove Cameron is so gorgeous and absolutely electric in this. I thought the chemistry between Ciara and Oliver was off the charts. If you enjoy steamy, guilty pleasure thrillers, there’s plenty of juicy moments in this one.

Without the fantastic chemistry, I wouldn’t have been as invested.

A mystery that pays off in the end.

I found this series fairly easy to binge-watch. It took a while for the mystery to unfold, but I thought it got better and better as the episodes continued. I didn’t know who to trust and I was shocked at a few of the reveals, which worked in the show’s favor.

The Cons:

Too much time spent on side characters and sub-plots.

Be prepared for a lot of time jumps. Everything felt very chaotic at first, but I think the transitions between the past and present day plots eventually became more seamless. That being said, I much preferred to watch what was happening in the past involving Oliver and Ciara.

We spent way too much time with the detectives in present day. I get that we needed to see what was going on with the case, but we also spent quite a bit of time fleshing out their characters with excess fluff involving their personal lives. I think this slowed down the overall pacing.

This series should have only been about six episodes or it might have worked better as a film. They just dragged too many things out to fill time, which was frustrating.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!

56 days is soapy and very pretty to look at with a few worthy thrills and reveals sprinkled into the mix.

If you enjoy guilty pleasure thrillers, there’s enough here for you to indulge in.

I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on 56 Days in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Spoiler-Free Review of “The Burbs” on Peacock: Keke Palmer Shines in this Quirky Mystery Reboot

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“These people are CRAZY…”

The Burbs premiered on Peacock on February 8th 2026 with all eight episodes available to stream now. The mystery comedy series (based on the 1989 film, The Burbs) stars Keke Palmer, Jack Whitehall, Kapil Talwalkar, and Julia Duffy. Each episode runs for approximately 40 to 42 minutes.

Newlyweds, Rob and Samira relocate to his childhood home in the suburbs with their baby, but Samira begins to suspect that her new neighbor across the street may be hiding deadly secrets connected to her husband’s past.

Here is the trailer:

The Burbs has a solid cast and some fun moments sprinkled in, but does it do enough to earn a watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Keke Palmer steals the show!

She is the BEST part of the series by far and the main reason I tuned into this one. I thought she was absolutely fantastic and I loved her character. Some of the other neighbors were fun as well, but without her, a lot of things probably wouldn’t have landed.

Solid second half.

In a lot of ways, this show reminded me of a mash-up of Desperate Housewives and Only Murders in the Building with a few Easter eggs and cameos thrown into the mix for fans of the original film starring Tom Hanks.

It took a while to find its way, but I thought the second half of the series was a lot of fun and a few of the twists caught me by surprise.

The Cons:

Longer than it needed to be.

There were definitely some pacing issues with this one. I thought the first half of the series was very slow and I almost tuned out a few times. Keke Palmer kept me invested, but there was a lot of fluff and extra stuff that slowed down everything surrounding the main mystery.

A lot of the humor didn’t land for me either, but I think this improved in the second half of the series. The first half just felt very unsure of itself, but we eventually got there.

We’re left with a cliffhanger at the end of season 1 so I will be annoyed if this doesn’t get picked up for a second season, but we’ll have to wait and see.

So am I in or out?

I’m in about 75 percent…

The Burbs takes a while to get going, but there is a solid mystery at its core worth digging into.

I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on The Burbs in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Spoiler-Free Review of “The Strangers: Chapter 3” in Theaters: An Underwhelming Final Showdown

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“Because you’re here…”

The Strangers: Chapter 3 released in theaters on February 6th 2026. The slasher horror film stars Madelaine Petsch, Gabriel Basso, and Ema Horvath. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty minutes and is the final film of the recent trilogy.

Picking up right after the events of Chapter 2, Maya must figure out a way to survive the night and make it to her sister in time, but the Strangers have other plans for her.

Here is the trailer:

The Strangers: Chapter 3 takes a step back with its watered down conclusion, but Madelaine Petsch gives it her all. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Madelaine Petsch is that girl.

Please, put her in more movies. She honestly deserves a better horror movie to star in, but she really gave this one her all and was the only redeeming part of the film. This trilogy was honestly exhausting, but I thought that Madelaine Petsch really showed off her range and proved that she is one to watch. Cheryl Blossom…the Queen that you are!

Unfortunately the pros stop here despite a somewhat decent chapter 2.

The Cons:

We really didn’t need a third film here…

I’m not sure who decided that we needed this trilogy, but the third film was the worst by far of the bunch. It felt like they forgot they had to do a third movie and just kind of dragged things out as much as possible with more unnecessary flashbacks and repetitive scenes that didn’t do anything in the film’s favor.

The conclusion was so silly and anticlimactic. There was very little suspense here despite some of the solid chase scenes in chapter 2. I’m just glad it’s over and hope that Madelaine Petsch can find some better projects in the future because I adore her.

Shout-out to her flawless manicure once again!

So am I in or out?

I’m in for Madelaine Petsch but out for this movie.

The Strangers: Chapter 3 fails to deliver any real suspense or shocking moments in its final film, giving the audience an unsatisfying and pointless entry while wasting the talents of Madelaine Petsch.

This was really disappointing.

Spoiler-Free Review of “School Spirits” Season 3 on Paramount+: We’re Back and Finally Getting Some Answers!

**This is a spoiler-free review for season three so feel free to read on!**

“I’m really back…”

School Spirits (season 3) released on January 28th 2026 on Paramount+ with the first three episodes available to stream now. The remaining five episodes will air weekly. The YA supernatural mystery series stars Peyton List, Kiara Pichardo, Kristian Flores, and Spencer MacPherson. Each episode runs for approximately 52-55 minutes.

Maddie has a difficult time adjusting to existing between two worlds while trying to help rescue the recently trapped Simon.

Here is the trailer:

School Spirits season 3 finally tackles some of the big questions fans have had since the beginning while expanding the existing mystery in the process. Is season 3 worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

A promising start to the new season!

I have to say that this season is already off to a very strong start. Sure, we’re uncovering A LOT, but it looks like we’re finally going to learn what’s going on here (at least a little bit) rather than dragging things out too much. There is a darker and more mature tone to this season, but it’s still balanced well with revealing new layers about some of our beloved characters (alive and dead).

I really like where this is going and I can’t wait to find out more!

This mystery is so intriguing and the show does such a great job of hooking the audience with thought-provoking cliffhangers.

New player in town!

I was super excited to see THE Jennifer Tilly guest starring this season. I’m not sure how big of a role she will play, but after watching the first three episodes, it’s clear she’s one to watch!

I also appreciate that it looks like we’re taking enough time to give every character a chance to shine. We have so many incredible characters on this show and it looks like the writers are going to devote enough time to each and every one of them rather than just relying on everything going on with Maddie.

The Cons:

A little jam-packed!

It wasn’t a major con for me, but wow did they overstuff the first three episodes. I guess there’s only a limited amount of time to get to everything, but I felt a little exhausted after watching them. There is so much to keep track of. I don’t mind because I enjoy the show, but this isn’t a show you can tune in and out of. You need to pay attention to every little detail, but I’m up to the challenge!

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

School Spirits season 3 is already delivering with plenty of shocking and heartwarming moments. This show has flown under the radar, but it really captures the vibe of the YA supernatural shows from the 90’s and I hope more people watch it because it’s fantastic!

I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on School Spirits in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!
