Spoiler-Free Review of “The Bay” on Demand: A Solid B Shark Movie

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

“I don’t bite…”

The Bay released on Demand on July 17th 2026. The survival horror film stars Francesca Eastwood, Dani Oliveros, and Alexander Wraith. It runs for approximately an hour and twenty-seven minutes.

Two friends vacationing in Thailand agree to go on a private shark tour, but when the boat begins to capsize, they must figure out a way to survive in shark invested waters.

Here is the trailer:

The Bay has a familiar, but solid enough premise for fans of vacation gone wrong shark flicks, but does it do enough to be worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Decent first half with enough shark action.

Sure, the setup was very familiar, but I was pulled in enough for the first half of this movie. There were plenty of suspenseful moments and I even found myself rooting for certain characters. We got enough sharks showing up in this and even a few twists and turns I didn’t expect.

A strong enough lead.

Francesca Eastwood did a good job here with what she was given. Lately I have been finding the characters in shark films insufferable, but I thought that she was believable and I genuinely cared about what happened to her and the people on the boat (well most of them anyway).

The Cons:

Goes off the rails in the second half.

It’s no secret that I’m addicted to B shark movies like this. I’ve seen movies like this over and over again and yet I still find myself watching every single one that is released. While I enjoyed the first half of this movie, things did get a little bit silly as the premise continued. We got some extra over-acting featuring some insane yelling that was way over the top and a twist at the end that felt like they were trying to stretch things as close to 90 minutes as possible.

So am I in or out?

I’m in about 75 percent…

(3 out of 5 stars)

THE BAY is your standard vacation gone wrong film with some suspenseful moments sprinkled in, making this an entertaining enough weekend watch if you enjoy shark movies.

I’d manage your expectations on this one, but as long as you just go with it, you’ll have enough fun if you like B shark movies.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Evil Dead Burn” in Theaters: Blood-Soaked and Stomach-Turning

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

“The Book of the Dead is not just a myth…”

Evil Dead Burn released in theaters on July 10th 2026. The latest entry to the Evil Dead franchise stars Souheila Yacoub, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, Erroll Shand, George Pullar, and Tandi Wright. It runs for approximately an hour and fifty minutes.

After the sudden death of her husband, Alice goes to stay with his family after the funeral, but deadites begin to target his family one by one, threatening to destroy them all.

Here is the trailer:

Evil Dead Burn is filled to the brim with stomach-turning gore and some horrific moments built in. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

A strong protagonist to root for!

The Evil Dead franchise has given us some phenomenal protagonists over the years and this film is no exception. I loved the character of Alice and thought she was the heart and soul of this movie. I was rooting for her the entire time. She was bad-ass, brutal, and well-layered.

I’d love to see the actress in more.

Lots of gore…if that’s your thing.

This may have been the bloodiest film yet in the franchise. They certainly pushed the envelope in the gore department. If that’s your jam, then you will absolutely love this.

I also really enjoyed the Ready or Not parallels with the in-laws from hell angle. This film definitely channeled that vibe on more than one occasion.

There will be no spoilers in this review, but there are two end credit scenes. The second one is bloody FANTASTIC and probably my favorite part of the film. Make sure you stick around!

The Cons:

Triggering scenes.

I normally like to keep spoilers out of my reviews, but all I will say is please stop brutally killing animals in movies. I can’t stand it. If you are an animal lover like me, I feel like I need to warn you. There is a lot of set-up and you’ll be able to sense when the horrible scene is coming so I suggest you just turn away like I did.

I also wasn’t a huge fan of the dreary lighting in this film and the uninspiring characters (other than Alice).

There was a lot I enjoyed about this film, but I also felt like we lost the chilling magic of its predecessors somewhere and settled for over-the-top gore instead. This isn’t always the answer…

So am I in or out?

I’m in!

(3.5 out of 5 stars)

Evil Dead Burn features a bad-ass female lead worthy of the crown.

While probably my least favorite film of the franchise, there were plenty of shocking and cringe-worthy moments here. I think I’m more excited for the next entry, however…

Spoiler-Free Review of “I Will Find You” on Netflix: Harlan Coben’s New Mystery is So Addicting!

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

“The past never changes until one day it does…”

Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You premiered on Netflix on June 18th 2026. The mystery thriller series (based on the novel of the same name) features eight episodes available to stream now. It stars Sam Worthington, Britt Lower, Milo Ventimiglia, Logan Browning, Madeleine Stowe, Jonathan Tucker, and Chi McBride. Each episode runs for approximately 37-44 minutes.

A father imprisoned for murdering his son receives evidence that his son may actually be alive. In an attempt to find out the truth, exonerate himself, and find his missing child, he escapes prison to get some answers.

Here is the trailer:

I Will Find You is an exceptional entry into the Harlan Coben mini series, featuring plenty of thrilling and twisty moments that make this a binge-watcher’s dream. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Gets right to the point!

I love Harlan Coben series, but sometimes we need to deal with some slow burn set-up and side plots before things turn up a notch. That wasn’t the case with I Will Find You. It drew me in from the opening moments and kept the pace moving with each new episode, presenting the audience with fantastic cliffhangers and jaw-dropping twists. There was plenty of action jam-packed into this one. Once I pressed play, I couldn’t stop watching until I reached the conclusion, which was extremely satisfying after going on this insane ride.

Exceptional cast.

Sam Worthington was so convincing and compelling. I really thought he elevated this series in a lot of ways. There were a lot of other familiar faces in this series along with the amazing Madeleine Stowe. She always plays every part so well and I even felt her channeling some Victoria Grayson in this!

The Cons:

A little far-fetched…

I don’t have too many cons for this one. I love Harlan Coben shows and they rarely disappoint. I would say that things got a little far-fetched by the time we got to the end. This could have easily gone off the rails a number of times and maybe it did slightly, but it was still filled to the brim with so many fantastic moments that I didn’t really care. I was entertained and that’s what matters!

So am I in or out?

I’m in 100 percent!!!

(5 out of 5 stars)

I Will Find You is binge-watch worthy, packed with exceptional performances, insane plot twists, and tons of solid action.

One of my favorite shows of the year so far!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Find Your Friends” on Shudder: A Girly Horror Entry with Potential

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

“We’re best friends for life…”

Find Your Friends released on Shudder on June 12th 2026. The horror thriller film stars Bella Thorne, Helena Howard, Sophia Ali, Zión Moreno and Chloe Cherry. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty minutes.

A girls trip to the desert turns deadly when a group of friends piss off some of the locals, forcing them to work together to survive.

Here is the trailer:

Find Your Friends has its moments, leading up to a jaw-dropping conclusion. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Dug the vibe!

I’m a big fan of the girly horror genre and this film could definitely fit right in. I loved the overall vibe. As soon as I saw the trailer for this film, I knew it would be right up my alley. Girls trips gone wrong are usually a lot of fun and this one had a lot of shocking moments.

I was familiar with a lot of the cast and I thought the dynamic between the characters worked for the most part. They were very believable as friends.

The last twenty minutes were fantastic!

OK so we took a while to get there, but the payoff was worth it for me. I was pleasantly surprised by the violent gore thrown in last minute. Sure, I wanted it sooner, but if you enjoy “good for her” revenge flicks, this one delivers in that department and then some!

The Cons:

Took too long to get to the punch.

Don’t get me wrong…I liked a lot of things about this movie. That being said, there was some sluggish pacing to deal with. I was all for the party vibe in the beginning of the film, but after a while, the repetitive loud techno music became irritating. It started to gloss over the fact that the plot felt mostly filler until bad things started actually happening.

The characters were also really annoying for the most part and reminded me too much of girls I grew up with. I think that was sort of the point though so I’ll leave that alone, but I guess I was looking for one real character to root for.

I also wanted this film to dig just a little bit deeper. It had a few sprinkles of pure magic, but I needed more.

So am I in or out?

I’m in about 75 percent…

(3 out of 5 stars)

Find Your Friends is a solid addition to the girly horror genre. Think Bad Girls Club meets The Royal Hotel with a cvnty attitude leading up to blood-soaked revenge.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Masters of the Universe” (2026) in Theaters: An Entertaining Watched Filled with Nostalgia!

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

“I have the POWER!!!”

Masters of the Universe (2026) released in theaters on June 5th 2026. The action-fantasy film stars Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Alison Brie, Morena Baccarin and Idris Elba. It runs for approximately two hours and twenty minutes.

Fifteen years after being separated from his friends and family, Adam finally tracks down the Sword of Power, leading him back to Eternia so he can reunite with his friends to stop the evil Skeletor.

Here is the trailer:

Masters of the Universe brings this nostalgic world back to life again with effortless charm and fun action, making this the perfect watch for fans who grew up watching He-Man and She-Ra. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

So much fun!

I grew up watching both He-Man and She-Ra so I was excited to give this one a whirl and I’m really glad I did. It was so much fun, and I was smiling during the entire film. I loved the mix of action and comedy. It really made this such a great popcorn watch without taking things too seriously. This film recognized its predecessors and tried to do something nostalgic for fans while still giving new fans something to be excited about.

Bring on the sequel!

There will be no spoilers in this review, but make sure you stick around the for the end credits scene. I jumped out of my chair with excitement!

Awesome performances!

Skeletor is one of my favorite villains ever and I was a little nervous when I heard that Jared Leto was playing him, but he did a FANTASTIC job! The sarcasm worked and Alison Brie made a terrific Evil-Lyn. She deserved some more screen time though…

My girl, Camila Mendes (Riverdale) kicked ass as Teela, but I knew she would eat up this role.

Nicholas Galitzine did a fantastic job as Adam/He-Man and Idris Elba was such a scene stealer.

This was such an electric cast, and I loved the dynamic between all of the characters so much. It really enhanced the overall story and made me root for the characters that much more.

The Cons:

A little too long.

The pacing was mostly on point, but I do think that things felt dragged out a little bit in the middle. I would have preferred this film to be just under two hours, but I still enjoyed everything. Not all of the comedic moments hit for me, but I dug the campy vibe so this wasn’t a major con for me.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

(4 out of 5 stars)

Masters of the Universe (2026) is an absolute blast to watch!

Overall, this film exceeded my expectations. It’s the perfect film to watch if you want to just lose yourself in the movies for a little while and travel to the world of Eternia!

I’m in the mood to watch Secret of the Sword now!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Scary Movie” (2026) in Theaters: Packed with Cameos but Light on Laughs…

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

They’re back!!!

Scary Movie (2026) released in theaters on June 5th 2026. The horror comedy film is the sixth film in the franchise, starring Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-five minutes.

Twenty-six years after the first film, Shorty, Ray, Cindy, and Brenda are targeted once again by a masked killer.

Here is the trailer:

Scary Movie 6 parodies numerous horror films and gives fans a lot of cameos and nods at the original, but does it actually deliver on comedy? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

The gang is back together again.

The best part of this film was seeing the original cast back together again. I recently re-watched all of the Scary Movies to prepare for my watch and I can definitely say that Shorty and Ray’s presence was missed after the first two films.

There were a lot of other cameos and supporting roles as well by familiar faces, which was a lot of fun to see.

The younger cast didn’t really do anything for me. I didn’t find any of them funny, but I guess they delivered on what they were told to do…

Loved the nods to the original.

There was definitely some nostalgia watching this. I loved all of the nods at the original. I did chuckle a few times during this film and most of the time that happened during these moments. It would have been nice to see a few more cast members included. I still think that leaving Shannon Elizabeth out of this was a mistake…

The Cons:

Really not that funny…

Look, there were a lot of people in my theater laughing so maybe I missed something here, but I rarely laughed during this one. Scary Movie 1 and 2 are hilarious to me and I’m a huge fan of White Chicks so I did have some high expectations here and they were definitely shattered.

I think I maybe laughed out loud at one part and chuckled here and there, but there were SO MANY jokes that did not land and a lot of them were really painful to sit through.

I think part of the issue was that they tried to do too much here. It just didn’t translate well for me at all.

Also, it seemed like there were several missed opportunities. (Example, Brenda should have been able to go full Ma, but nothing happened with this other than a comment or two on her hair looking like Octavia Spencer’s).

So am I in or out?

I’m 50/50 on this one…

(2.5 out of 5 stars)

Scary Movie (2026) had a lot of great cameos, which were fun to see, but it offered very few laughs in return.

This wasn’t awful, but it really wasn’t great, which was so disappointing.

I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on Scary Movie 6 in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Spoiler-Free Review of “CHUM” on Demand: A Bland Rip-Off that No One Asked For…

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

“The sea takes what it wants…”

CHUM released on Demand on June 5th 2026. The survival horror film stars Alice Eve, Eric Michael Cole, Lisa Yaro, Elle Haymond, and Jim Klock. It runs for approximately an hour and twenty-five minutes.

A wedding party in Malta find themselves surrounded by dangerous sharks after their yacht capsizes.

Here is the trailer:

CHUM has a familiar, but decent enough set up, but does it do enough to be worthy of your next shark watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Welcome back, Alice Eve!

It was a real struggle for me to come up with any pro for this movie. I’ll just say that it was great to see Alice Eve on the screen again and I’d love to see her in more (just not this).

She hasn’t aged a day and was the only spark of life here…

The Cons:

Terrible acting and atrocious effects.

I don’t even know where to start…

This film was bad…really, really bad.

My bar is always set pretty low for shark films. I don’t expect much, but they are my guilty pleasure and I love them…even the bad ones. But, it was very hard to find anything redeemable in this particular film.

The effects were laughable. It really looked like AI slop or something similar. There was no real sense of suspense because of this and any of the shark action was watered down as well.

The acting and plot were pretty much non-existent.

A rip-off of other films.

My biggest issue with this film was that it was not original at all. Sure, most shark flicks follow a very similar formula. We usually get a couple or a group of friends who get stranded and then our toothy friends show up, leading to them getting picked off one by one until we get one bad-ass survivor in the mix.

This film just really phoned it in with every aspect. It stole from one of my favorite films of last year in such a bland and uninspiring way.

I was beyond disappointed with this one.

So am I in or out?

Unfortunately I’m out on this one…

(1/5 stars)

CHUM is a complete rip-off of Dangerous Animals and Jaws: The Revenge with laughable effects and cringe-worthy acting.

I should have just re-watched Dangerous Animals instead…

Sorry, Alice Eve!

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

Spoiler-Free Review of “Backrooms” in Theaters: A Mind-Bending Trip!

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

“You’re still stuck right where you started…alone…”

Backrooms premiered in theaters on May 29th 2026. The psychological horror science fiction film (based on the popular web series) stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Finn Bennett, Lukita Maxwell, and Mark Duplass. It runs for approximately an hour and fifty minutes.

After an unhappy furniture salesman finds a secret door within the walls of the store, he discovers a space beyond reality. His curiosity leads him down a dangerous path, as he soon discovers he is not alone.

Here is the trailer:

Backrooms reels us into an Alice in Wonderland-esque world, unraveling a chilling mystery before our eyes. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

An eerie concept!

I really enjoyed this world and thought it was so intriguing and complex. I wanted to go and discover all the endless rooms with the main character. Each one had me scratching my head, but I felt fully immersed in this puzzle, making this an interactive watch.

Enough freaky moments.

Even though this was a bit of a slow burn, there were enough freaky moments in this one. Sure, a lot of it didn’t make sense, but that was also sort of the point. They effectively used the found footage camera approach where it mattered, mirroring the overall tone of the film. While I wouldn’t necessarily say this film scared me, it did present us with some insane moments worth exploring.

The Cons:

The first half was stronger than the second half…

This might simply come down to preference, but I really enjoyed the first half of this film. I liked the idea of the unknown and once everything started to be revealed, it lost that chilling magic for me. I thought some things felt a little silly and outrageous, but I’m also not a huge science fiction fan so that could be why.

I also don’t enjoy shaky camera effects (even though I think they used them well) because it makes me dizzy so be prepared for that if that’s not your thing…

So am I in or out?

I’m in!

(3.5/5 stars)

Backrooms is eerie, bonkers, and packed with freaky footage.

This film did a solid job with the content, inviting us into an intriguing new world.

Spoiler-Free Review of “PASSENGER” in Theaters: A Solid Enough Ride

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

“The road can be a scary place…”

PASSENGER released in theaters on May 22nd 2026. The supernatural horror film stars Jacob Scipio, Lou Llobell, and Melissa Leo. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-four minutes.

A young couple make the decision to move out of their apartment so they can take on life on the road together in their new van, but after coming across a crash on the road, they soon begin to suspect that something demonic has latched on to them, following them everywhere they go.

Here is the trailer:

PASSENGER is a decent enough watch with a few note-worthy scares thrown in. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Spooky opening!

I almost wish I hadn’t seen the trailer for this film because it would have made the opening even more chilling. That being said, I still enjoyed the ride and it was fun seeing this in a packed theater. Some of the jump scares were a little cheesy, but they were also a lot of fun. The opening to this film definitely set the bar high enough.

Dug the vibe!

It’s no secret that I love horror movies from the early 2000’s and I thought that this film could have effortlessly released during that time. Was this movie amazing? No, not at all, but it was entertaining and a lot of fun. I was hooked the whole time and I easily found myself transported back to a time when horror movies were fun and spooky without making me think too hard about what was actually going on.

The characters weren’t insufferable by any means, which tends to happen in films like this. The actors did a good enough job with what they were given and I actually found myself rooting for them, which is a good sign.

It was a simple trip from road A to B and it worked for me personally. It was very easy to turn my mind off and just relax and enjoy the ride.

The Cons:

Nothing new here…

This is a movie I’ve seen before. The plot and formula could have easily been taken from several other horror movies. The ending was a little silly, but as long as you manage your expectations, you’ll still have a good time with this film.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!

(3.5/5 stars)

PASSENGER is a spooky thrill ride that channels horror movies from the 2000’s in an entertaining way, making this a fun popcorn watch.

Don’t expect anything too unique here and you’ll have a decent time!

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

Spoiler-Free Review of “OBSESSION” in Theaters: A Distressing and Consuming Watch

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

“I would choose you over everything…”

OBSESSION releases in theaters on May 15th 2026. The supernatural horror film stars Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson and Megan Lawless. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-eight minutes.

Bear has been in love with his friend, Nikki for years, but has never found the courage to tell her how he truly feels about her. After purchasing a mysterious “One Wish Willow,” he makes a wish for her to love him more than anyone in the world. To his surprise, the wish comes true, but it comes with devastating consequences.

Here is the trailer:

OBSESSION is a terrifying watch that transcends past the supernatural with its fresh take on infatuation, lingering with the viewer after the credits roll. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Inde Navarrette gives an unhinged performance worth talking about.

I wasn’t too familiar with her before this film, but wow is she on my radar now. She went all out with this portrayal in such a chilling way. I’d rank her right up there with Mia Goth in Pearl and Naomi Scott in Smile 2. She was that good!

There were so many tense moments in this and others that broke me emotionally. Navarrette never skipped a beat. She poured every ounce of crazy into the character of Nikki and it worked brilliantly.

A new take on the infatuation/obsession genre.

It’s already one of my favorite genres, but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how unique this entry was. It still fit nicely into the infatuation/thriller genre, but it also took a stab at some other themes without hitting the audience over the head with its message.

The raw and unfiltered moments were so well done. There can be so much said about this movie and I think it tackled loneliness, heartbreak, and the need for acceptance in such a thought-provoking way while still managing to cause goosebumps to appear on my flesh every single time Nikki appeared on screen.

The ending was also exceptionally well done. It refused to sugarcoat things and really left me in such a state after I walked out of the theater. That’s when I know I’ve just witnessed something truly brilliant.

The Cons:

I don’t have many…

While it may not be for everyone, this film checked off a lot of boxes for me. My only con would be that it was emotionally upsetting at times and maybe the lore could have been explained a little bit more.

I also felt like I needed to be in the right state of mind to watch this. I’m not sure that I would watch this one multiple times because it had such a profound impact on me with my initial viewing.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

(5/5 stars)

OBSESSION is a tense and disturbing film that flips the infatuation genre upside down with its fresh and unhinged take.

Inde Navarrette is definitely a Scream Queen after that chilling performance!

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