Spoiler-Free Review of “Run Rabbit Run” on Netflix: Dreary Maternal Horror Flick

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

“I miss people I never met all the time…”

Run Rabbit Run released on Netflix on June 28th 2023. The Australian psychological horror film stars Sarah Snook, Lily LaTorre, and Greta Scacchi. It runs for approximately an hour and forty minutes.

A mother begins to lose her grip on reality when her daughter claims to have memories from another life, bringing up her dark past in the process.

Here is the trailer:

Run Rabbit Run features a haunting premise with an eerie tone, but does it do enough to earn a watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Chilling performances.

The best part of this film revolved around the strong performances by both Sarah Snook (which comes as no surprise) and Lily LaTorre, who may be going for creepiest kid of the year…

They both put forth a valiant effort here and immersed themselves completely into these roles, which worked in the film’s favor.

Intriguing idea.

I liked the symbolism and links to Alice in Wonderland and I thought the overall concept was creepy and thought-provoking. I expected something a little different here, but I think that the film was attempting to present us with more of an atmospheric horror entry. Other films have done a better job with this, but I still thought the overall idea was interesting enough. The ambiguous ending got me thinking too.

The Cons:

Takes forever to end…

The movie wasn’t terribly long, but I felt like I was watching it for a really long time. It dragged so much. Yes, there were some really disturbing moments mixed in, but not enough in my opinion. Everything just felt very bleak and gloomy and it didn’t fully explore some of the themes and symbols I was most interested in at the very beginning of the film.

Not that terrifying…

I have seen this film billed as both a horror movie and a thriller, but I’m not sure that it really fell into either category. Sure, there were some elements of both, but I would have liked to have seen this film embrace one of those genres in a tangible way. There was one moment in particular that was disturbing to witness, but everything else felt very flat and mediocre.

So am I in or out?

I’m 50/50 on this one…

Well acted and some interesting concepts, but the pacing was way too slow and I’m not sure that this film successfully carved its way into the atmospheric horror genre…even though it really tried to.

A VACATION TO DIE FOR…

When sisters, Nina and Gemma are vacationing in Hawaii with their friends, they get invited to an exclusive party on a private island that seems too good to be true.

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 “To Catch a Killer” on Demand: Gripping Crime Thriller

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

“The only thing enough for me is a solid lead…”

To Catch a Killer premiered in limited theaters on May 9th 2023 and is now currently available to watch on demand as of June 20th 2023. The crime thriller film stars Shailene Woodley, Ben Mendelsohn, Jovan Adepo, and Ralph Ineson. It runs for approximately two hours.

A police officer with a traumatic past is recruited by the FBI’s chief investigator to help profile and stop a deadly killer in Baltimore.

Here is the trailer:

To Catch a Killer hooks the audience right from the start with an intense opening and a captivating case that reels you in for more. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Vertical Entertainment

Explosive opening!

This was probably one of the best openings I have seen in a while. It was intense and shocking and it did a great job of hooking the audience. The crime was horrific and eye-opening and Shailene’s character, Eleanor was thrown right into things as well, making us connect to her immediately.

The intensity didn’t stop here. I thought there were plenty of thrilling moments built into this one, making it a very entertaining watch. The case itself was intriguing and complex. I never felt bored at all even during the quiet moments.

Strong performance by Shailene Woodley.

All of the actors did a good job, but she was absolutely incredible in this. I’ve always liked her as an actress and she proved her worth in this film. She was believable, emotional, and powerful without overdoing things. I liked her interactions with Investigator Lammark, but she was perfectly capable of commanding the screen on her own as well.

The Cons:

I needed a few more character layers…

Eleanor dealt with something traumatic during her childhood, which was part of what made her so exceptional for this case, but we never really explored what that trauma was. I didn’t need the movie to be longer than it was, but I guess I just wanted a few more layers because I really liked her character and I wanted to truly understand her. I get that it was more about the trauma in general, but we took the time to look at this from the killer’s perspective so why not focus on her as well?

In a lot of ways this film was a crime thriller by the numbers. I’m not sure that it did anything that new in the genre, but I still found the content to be captivating and entertaining so this wasn’t a major con at all for me personally.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!!

An engrossing watch!

Exceptional performances, great cinematography, and some intense moments that shouldn’t be missed.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Sanctuary” on Demand: Margaret Qualley is Flawless

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

“I know everything about you…”

Sanctuary released in limited theaters on May 19th 2023 and is now currently available to stream on demand as of June 20th 2023. The erotic-psychological thriller film stars Margaret Qualley and Christopher Abbott. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-seven minutes.

After taking over his father’s business, Hal attempts to end his relationship with a dominatrix named Rebecca, but an argument between them escalates into a battle for true control.

Here is the trailer:

Sanctuary is unique and dangerous in an unconventional way featuring an exceptionally brilliant performance by its leading lady. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Margaret Qualley shines!

Wow she was absolutely breathtaking in this film! Her performance was unhinged and electric in all the right ways. She stole the film and then some. I loved the different take on the cat-and-mouse formula. This is one of those films that could fail miserably without strong performances and she made sure that wouldn’t happen. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. She was that good!

A unique concept.

At one point Hal talks about how this isn’t the 90’s and in a lot of ways, this film reminded me of those dark and steamy guilty pleasure thrillers from that decade. I actually love those erotic thrillers and I thought this film did a great job of honoring that genre while still carving its way into the new generation with provocative and sometimes extreme content that wasn’t afraid to reach new limits.

I’m all for a film trying something new and different and I applaud the effort and execution.

The Cons:

Trippy camera effects.

I liked the overall visual feel of the film and I think it complimented the subject matter well, but some of the chaotic camera movements felt unnatural and slightly distracting. I was very focused on what was transpiring between these two characters so these camera enhancements seemed unnecessary, but I think that comes down to preference.

There were some pacing issues throughout the film and I had mixed thoughts on the ending. It was perfectly fine, but I guess I was looking for something a slight more shocking since there was so much built up before this. I’m sure viewers will have mixed views on this, however.

So am I in or out?

I’m in about 75 percent…

I’m in for Margaret Qualley and I appreciate that this film tried to do something different and edgy, but the pacing needed some work and I guess I wanted a little bit more of an explosive ending to really seal the deal.

Keep in mind that this is not your average thriller. It takes a different approach that may seem like a simple conversation at times between two parties, but it does branch out into some moments of pure brilliance worth experiencing.

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

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…

It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Survive” on Demand: Sophie Turner Gives it Her All

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

“I’ve never been good at lying…”

Survive originally released on the short-lived streaming platform, Quibi in 2020 as individual chapters/episodes, but has now released officially in the US (on Demand) on June 20th 2023 as a full length film. The survival thriller stars Sophie Turner and Corey Hawkins. It runs for an hour and forty-eight minutes.

After their plane crashes in the snow-covered mountains, Jane and Paul have to work together to make it out alive.

Here is the trailer:

Survive is packed with intense and edge-of-your-seat moments with a strong performance from Sophie Turner, but does it do enough to earn a a watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Sophie Turner gives an emotional performance worth experiencing.

The Game of Thrones star is no stranger to cold winters, but she showed off her range in this film and elevated it in a lot of ways. I thought both actors did a good job and I enjoyed the chemistry between them. I was rooting for Sophie’s character the entire time. She was exceptionally good in this and I hope to see her in more films soon!

Good balance of intense survival moments and emotionally-stirring ones.

In a lot of ways this film reminded me of the Melissa Barrera series, Keep Breathing. There were some nail-biting moments for sure that kept the pacing moving with a lot of emotional layers and revelations built in, which worked seamlessly. It helped me care a lot more about these characters and left us with some important life lessons as well.

The Cons:

The opening is a little heavy.

I get that we were trying to understand Jane’s character and where she was at in her life, but it felt very emotionally draining and it was tough to watch at times. Luckily the pacing picked up around the thirty minute mark so this wasn’t a major con.

I enjoyed my watch overall, but I’m not sure that this film did anything that unique in the survival/wilderness thriller genre. I’ve seen this type of movie many times before. That being said, it still had a lot of heart in it and some sincere moments.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Sophie Turner breathes life into your typical survival thriller.

I was genuinely moved by my watch and I thought that both actors did a great job with what they were given.

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

Spoiler-Free Review of “The Blackening” in Theaters: So Much Fun!

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

“We are all alone…in a cabin in the woods…”

The Blackening released in theaters on June 16th 2023. The horror comedy film stars Grace Byers, Sinqua Walls, Melvin Gregg, X Mayo, Dewayne Perkins, and Jermaine Fowler. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-seven minutes.

A group of friends meet up for a reunion weekend, but things go terribly wrong when they are forced to play a deadly game to survive the night.

Here is the trailer:

The Blackening is a brilliant horror comedy that is spot on with its satire and outrageously funny. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Laugh-out-loud funny and fun references for horror fans.

In a way, this was a smarter version of Scary Movie (which I absolutely love). It created the perfect balance of super funny moments with tons of slasher fun, making this stand out in the horror comedy genre and I think it’s safe to say I’ll be re-watching this one again and again.

The humor worked really well for the most part and I loved the horror references and Easter eggs sprinkled into the mix. It took on horror tropes we have seen again and again in a fun and entertaining way.

Great characters!

Everyone really held their own, but my favorite character was Dewayne for sure. I loved the chemistry and banter between everyone, which made this film even more entertaining in a lot of ways. Sure, there are a lot of silly and unbelievable things that happen, but as long as you just go with it, you’ll have an absolute blast.

The pacing worked really well and I LOVED that opening!

The Cons:

The twist is predictable…

I don’t think this took away anything from the movie, but I saw the twist coming a mile away. You could say that it just added to the silly take on the horror tropes so maybe it was intentional, but since we did experience some solid slasher moments in this, I was also hoping for a touch more in terms of this. That being said, I still enjoyed the execution of it so this wasn’t a major con.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

The Blackening is a witty and delightful horror comedy!

I was so excited to watch this film and it exceeded my expectations in the best way possible.

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

Spoiler-Free Review of “There’s Something Wrong with the Children” on Prime: Creepy and Strange…

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

“Where did the kids go?”

There’s Something Wrong with the Children originally released on MGM+ back in March 2023, but is now available to stream on Prime Video as of June 15th 2023. The horror film stars Alisha Wainwright, Zach Gilford, Carlos Santos, and Amanda Crew. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-two minutes.

Two couples spend a weekend at a remote cabin in the woods, but when they discover an abandoned fort in the middle of nowhere, the kids start behaving strangely.

Here is the trailer:

There’s Something Wrong with the Children features some genuinely creepy and twisted moments, but is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Eerie and weird…

I’ve seen my fair share of movies featuring creepy kids and I thought these two did a decent job. The concept to me was more disturbing than the actual acts done by the kids, but the overall vibe of this film was spine-chilling in an entertaining way.

Solid performances.

There were some familiar faces in this one and I thought everyone did a decent enough job with what they were given. Stand-out performance goes to Alisha Wainwright as Margaret. She delivered and held my attention even when things started to get really really weird…

The Cons:

The adults don’t act in a realistic way at times…

I was scratching my head a little here because there were so many times that the adults acted completely clueless. If I thought someone’s kid was missing, I would be a little bit more concerned and yet these characters just went through the motions as if everything was normal for way too long…

The film had an interesting concept worth exploring, but it didn’t really follow through with it. The ending just left me with a lot of questions and while I think it successfully created a disturbing tone, it just didn’t do enough to stick the landing for me personally. There’s still plenty to enjoy along the way, however.

So am I in or out?

I’m in about 75 percent…

There’s Something Wrong with the Children brings us a new group of creepy kids to have nightmares about, but it could have done a lot more to stand out in this genre.

Either way, this was a mildly entertaining watch if you’re a horror fan.

I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on There’s Something Wrong with the Children in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Jagged Mind” on Hulu: Trippy & Triggering LGBTQ Horror Flick

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

“Just try to remember…”

Jagged Mind premiered on Hulu on June 15th 2023. The LGBTQ supernatural horror film stars Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Shannon Woodward, Rosaline Elbay, Shein Mompremier, and Jimmy Jean-Louis. It runs for approximately an hour and twenty-seven minutes.

A woman begins experiencing blackouts and strange visions when she discovers that she may be stuck in a time loop involving her new girlfriend.

Here is the trailer:

Jagged Mind is trippy and disturbing, tackling real issues that are way more horrifying. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Two strong performances.

The film centers on a LGBTQ couple and both women give believable and compelling performances. In particular, Maisie Richardson-Sellers stood out as Billie. She really pulled me into this film and did a good job of holding the audience’s attention…even during the sluggish moments.

Unique concept used to tackle real issues.

I wasn’t sure how I felt about this movie at first, but once I got to the last forty minutes or so, I was completely hooked. The concept wasn’t completely new, but I thought it was a different approach and it took a magnifying glass to the real horrors that can lurk beneath the surface of a seemingly “happy couple.” I was satisfied with the ending for the most part and I think it will create a necessary dialogue between viewers, which is not always easy to do.

The Cons:

Confusing at times…

We start off almost immediately with Billie’s weird visions and blackouts. Even though she talks about experiencing deja vu, we have to piece that together ourselves because it isn’t super apparent like it is with other time loops films. These honestly gave me a headache at first, but once Billie started to piece things together, the film improved drastically.

The pacing was also really slow for the first half of the film. Luckily things picked up, but I think that the film could have devoted a little bit more time to Billie and Alex’s initial relationship to add in some tangible layers.

Please also keep in mind that there is some sensitive content in this one and that it may be triggering for some viewers.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!

Jagged Mind is an unnerving and thought-provoking watch.

This film wasn’t perfect, but it was interesting and I think it exposed some horrifying truths in a compelling way without hitting the audience over the head with what it wanted to say.

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

Spoiler-Free Review of “The Lake” Season Two on Prime Video: Julia Stiles Steals the Show!

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

“Let’s just throw caution to the wind…”

The Lake (season two) premiered on Prime Video on June 9th 2023. All eight episodes are available to stream now. The Canadian dramedy series stars Julia Stiles, Jordan Gavaris, Madison Shamoun, Lauren Holly, and Terry Chen. Each episode runs for approximately 28-35 minutes.

Billie returns to the lake for the summer to visit her biological father, who is dealing with figuring out the future of his relationship with Riley while Maisy tries to cope with her mother’s recent news.

Here is the trailer:

The Lake (season one) was a fun and quick summer series that flew under the radar, but does season two measure up? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

All hail, Julia Stiles!

She felt a little overbearing and over-the-top in season one, but season two actually allows the audience to get a glimpse into what makes Maisy tick and I thought she was a lot more fun and likable this time around. “Crazy May” is a scene stealer and had me crying from laughing so hard.

I’m a fan of Julia Stiles and I’d love to see her in more because she is so talented and she wasn’t afraid to go all out in this role and it paid off.

More please!

Adding in Lauren Holly as her mother (Mimsy) was a brilliant choice as well and the banter between them is pure gold.

Allows supporting characters to get some layers and screen time.

Season one was primarily about Justin and Billie, but season two allowed each character a chance to shine. Even though this show is mostly silly and fun, it also has a lot of heartwarming moments in it as well, which helped me connect to all of the characters that much more.

Stand-out episodes.

Much like season one, I had a few episodes that I absolutely LOVED from season two and they were top-notch from start to finish. Don’t miss episodes 3, 6, and 8. They are so much fun and well worth a watch.

The Cons:

Missing some of the charm from the first season.

I actually really enjoyed season two and I think it did a good job of continuing the story for these characters, but the setting felt like it was more in the background this time. Season one really focused on what it meant to live at the lake for the summer and it made the vignette style episodes that much more fun.

Season two still had glimmers of that, but it also shifted its focus a few times to a mystery that took up the entire season. The show felt more like a traditional dramedy this time around, which was fine, but I personally liked the quirky summer-camp feel of the first season a little more.

So am I in or out?

I’m in about 75 percent…

The Lake season two welcomes us back to the summer season with lots of laughs and key moments for our beloved characters that shouldn’t be missed.

If you enjoyed season one, there is plenty to like about season two. This series isn’t perfect, but it still manages to keep us coming back to the lake for more.

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

Spoiler-Free Review of “Based on a True Story” on Peacock: A Real Treat!

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

“Do we have to wake up to murder every morning?”

Based on a True Story premiered on Peacock on June 8th 2023 with all eight episodes available to stream now. The comedy crime thriller stars Kaley Cuoco, Chris Messina, Tom Bateman, Priscilla Quintana, Liana Liberato, and Natalia Dyer. Each episode runs for approximately 25-35 minutes.

Ava and Nathan are expecting a baby and feel like their marriage is becoming very mundane, but when Ava realizes that their plumber may be the Westside Ripper serial killer, she teams up with her husband to blackmail him into creating a true crime podcast with them from the killer’s perspective.

Here is the trailer:

Based On a True Story is the perfect mix of The Flight Attendant and Only Murders in the Building with a unique voice of its own. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Great chemistry between characters!

I honestly haven’t seen such good chemistry between a married couple on TV since Santa Clarita Diet. Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina are hilarious on screen, but also very believable as a couple. They are very relatable and the real moments between them give this series an edge.

I was worried that this series would feel like a rip-off of The Flight Attendant and Only Murders in the Building, but it channeled the quirky take on the true crime craze flawlessly while branching off into something truly exceptional of its own.

Stand-out performance goes to Tom Bateman as Matt. Think Joe Goldberg from You without all of the whiny psychobabble. He is charming and entertaining and he absolutely steals the show!

Short episodes make it easy to binge-watch.

I got through this series very quickly. The episodes are super short and it’s so addicting! If you’re looking for a quick and easy binge-watch for the weekend, this is the show for you.

There are also some really fantastic blood-soaked moments for slasher fans. The series is more of a comedic thriller, but I personally liked that it wasn’t afraid to get a little bit messy here. After all, they are dealing with a serial killer…

The Cons:

Forced crude dialogue at times…

The opening episode felt a little awkward at times because of the forced and explicit dialogue. I don’t know if the series was trying to be extra shocking, but people in real life don’t talk like this and it just felt unnatural. This calmed down as the episodes continued, however. The show was a lot more entertaining when it wasn’t trying so hard.

I also wasn’t a fan of some of the trippy daydreams/hallucinations. They felt mostly filler to me.

What happened in episode 6 (no spoilers) was completely unnecessary. It almost ruined the entire show for me, but I tried to move past it…

I also wanted more of a pop from the ending. Sure, it left things open for a new season if it gets picked up, but I guess I was looking for something a little more jaw-dropping to seal the deal.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!

Based on a True Story is a lot of fun and very easy to binge-watch. The chemistry between our three main leads is bloody magic and well worth your time.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Follow Her” on Demand: Clever Cat-and-Mouse Thriller

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

“If her character dies, she dies…”

Follow Her released on demand on June 2nd 2023. The erotic-thriller-horror film stars Dani Barker, Luke Cook, and Mark Moses. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty minutes.

An aspiring actress and live streamer named Jess responds to a job to help write an erotic thriller screenplay in a remote location, but things take a twisted turn when she ends up caught in the middle of the creator’s quest for revenge.

Here is the trailer:

Follow Her is a solid mix of Cam and Fresh, presenting us with a smart and entertaining erotic thriller that has plenty of twists and turns. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Killer performances.

In particular, Luke Cook was out of this world as Tom! There weren’t too many characters in this one so our two main leads needed to steal the show and they did so with flair. It was fun seeing where the twists went and I really thought both actors did their part and then some.

Smart take on the social media genre…

I recently enjoyed Influencer for the same reason, but I have to give it up to Follow Her as well. This movie took a real look at the dangers and problems with live streaming and social media. I love that they didn’t hold back, making the shocking moments that much more petrifying since I could see some of this actually happening in real life.

This film nailed the vibe it was going for and that last half hour was incredible!

The Cons:

Takes a little while to kick into high gear…

The pacing was a little sluggish in the beginning. I was interested, but my attention was fading slightly until we got to the final act. There wasn’t too much set-up but I do think that we could have moved things along a little quicker once Jess arrived at the house. The fetish stuff was a bit silly, but it made sense with Jess’s line of work so I’ll go with it.

The twists were also a little outrageous, but still fun overall. I’m all for a film taking a risk and I didn’t mind them, but they did disrupt the overall tone of the movie slightly and felt a little abrupt. That being said, they weren’t predictable so this wasn’t a major con.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Follow Her is satisfying in all the right ways with plenty of twists to keep you hooked until the very end.

I really enjoy smart and self-aware horror films and I think that Follow Her checked off all the boxes I was looking for and then some.

I’d absolutely recommend a watch if you’re a horror fan!

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