Spoiler-Free Review of “Apartment 7A” on Paramount+: Julia Garner Is Delightful

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

“I came here for one reason…to make something of myself.”

Apartment 7A released on Paramount+ on September 27th 2024. The horror drama prequel film of Rosemary’s Baby stars Julia Garner, Dianne Wiest, Jim Sturgess, and Kevin McNally. The film runs for approximately one hour and forty-five minutes.

Set in New York City during the 1960’s, Terry dreams of becoming a famous dancer, but an injury puts a hold on her career. Down on her luck, she accepts an offer from a wealthy couple to stay with them in their apartment, but she soon discovers that something evil may be lurking within the Bramford.

Here is the trailer:


Apartment 7A is stylish and sinister, but is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Shot beautifully.

I really enjoyed this movie for aesthetic reasons. I loved the choice of lighting and fashion. I felt like I was seamlessly transported back in time. This was a visually striking film, which worked in its favor. I also really enjoyed the dancing. I don’t think it overpowered anything and it allowed this film to subtly dip into different genres without losing track of its main intention.

The Easter eggs were clever and well-placed as well.

Julia Garner is wonderful!

The Ozark star showed off her range and talent in this role. While I didn’t necessarily picture her for this movie initially, she really gave it her all and elevated it in a lot of ways. Dianne Wiest was great too.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Paramount+

Nothing new here.

This film was supposed to be a prequel, but the majority of it felt like a remake instead. This was slightly disappointing because I was hoping to explore this world more and we had the opportunity to, but instead we got a remake. I still enjoyed it overall, but I think we missed the mark a little here.

So am I in or out?

Apartment 7A is a decent enough watch, featuring a performance by Julia Garner that should not be missed!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Grotesquerie” on FX on Hulu: Off to a Chilling Start!

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

“Something about it seems so familiar to me…”

Grotesquerie premiered with its first two episodes on September 25th 2024 on FX (episodes air next day on Hulu). There will be ten episodes in total that will air weekly. The horror crime drama series (written and created by Ryan Murphy) stars Niecy Nash-Betts, Micaela Diamond, Courtney B. Vance, Raven Goodwin, Travis Kelce, and Nicholas Chavez. Each episode runs for approximately 42-50 minutes.

A detective investigates a series of violent crimes in a small town and is certain that they are connected to her in some way. With few leads to follow, she teams up with a nun to put the pieces together.

Here is the trailer:

Grotesquerie hooks its audience from the start, luring us into a twisted and disturbing investigation. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of FX on Hulu

The unlikely partnership works!

OK, I didn’t know how I originally felt about this particular team-up, but it is working really well and is the best part of the show. Niecy Nash-Betts is fantastic in this series. I’m used to seeing her in more of a comedic role (shout-out to Denise Hemphill from Scream Queens), but she has some serious range and is putting forth a believable and layered portrayal of her character.

I love Sister Megan and can’t wait to find out more about her character. She’s quirky and offbeat, which is needed when dealing with some dark and disturbing content. There are some other interesting characters as well and it looks like we haven’t met a few key people so I’m intrigued to discover more.

Images courtesy of FX on Hulu

A twisted mystery worth exploring.

These crimes were extremely violent and disturbing, but I’m very intrigued to put the puzzle together along with our main characters. There is enough of a captivating mystery here to keep me coming back for more. This series isn’t holding anything back and I think it’s doing a solid job so far of giving us enough of a hook to fully grab our attention. The religious theme may be overdone, but it’s still interesting.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of FX on Hulu

Dark and heavy content.

There is a lot to deal with in this series. The crimes are beyond awful and then Lois’s own personal demons don’t leave us too much room to breathe. This isn’t a major con, but I think I need to be in the right mindset each week to watch this one.

The pacing moved a little sluggish at times, but I think it did enough each episode to bounce back. I’m hoping this will smooth itself out as the episodes continue and I’m confident we’ll get there.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Grotesquerie draws us in to an intriguing and disturbing mystery worth unfolding, featuring a stand-out performance by Niecy Nash-Betts.

I didn’t know I needed this series, but it was a fantastic surprise and I’ll be tuning in for the rest of the episodes!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Last Straw” on Demand: Has Its Ups and Downs

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

“You’re working the late shift…”

Last Straw released on Demand on September 20th 2024. The horror thriller film stars Jessica Belkin, Taylor Kowalski, Joji Valley Otani, and Jeremy Sisto. It runs for approximately an hour and twenty minutes.

Nancy is working the late shift by herself at her dad’s diner when a group of masked assailants show up and begin to terrorize her.

Here is the trailer:

Last Straw is similar to films like Open 24 Hours and Hunt Her, Kill Her, but it attempts to put a spin on the home invasion genre with its twist. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Shout! Studios

The music and the setting worked.

I kind of really dug the music. At first, it felt a little distracting, but then I thought it started to compliment the vibe of this film really well. I loved the setting as well. I love thrillers that are mostly set in one place, really making you think about the character’s surroundings and how they can use them to their advantage.

Jessica Belkin was good as Nancy. I wasn’t sure how I felt about her at first, but as the movie continued, I was rooting for her more and more. She had some bad-ass and brutal moments worth noting and was very creative in some of her survival tactics, which is something I always love to see.

Images courtesy of Shout! Studios

Throws a twist our way.

I like that this film tried to give us a different spin on the home invasion genre. I’m still not sure if the twist landed enough for me, but I do appreciate the effort. I usually prefer straightforward thrillers within this genre. Sometimes less is more, but I think this film went for it and tried to do something a little different to stand out, which is worth noting.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Shout! Studios

Over-complicates things…

I really wanted to love this movie, but it did go off the rails once the twist was introduced. It wasn’t bad by any means, but I think it wasted too much time on character back stories and explanation. I didn’t need to see things from all angles. I just needed to see this film through from beginning to end. The opening twenty minutes were super slow as well.

When I think back on it, there were only about thirty worthy minutes of this film. They were solid enough, but there was a lot of fluff to sift through, which was frustrating.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Shout! Studios

I’m 50/50 on this one…

Last Straw over-complicates things with its twist, but it does have a few brutal moments worth sticking around for.

I just wanted something more here, but it was decent enough for a quick movie of the week.

If you like this genre, I’d recommend watching Alone (2020), Open 24 Hours, and Hunt Her, Kill Her first.

I hope you enjoyed the review and please feel free to share your thoughts on Last Straw in the comments section!

Spoiler-Free Review of “High Potential” on ABC: Kaitlin Olson Shines!

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

Who the hell is this?

High Potential premiered on ABC (next day on Hulu) with its premiere episode. The crime drama series will have weekly episodes. It stars Kaitlin Olson, Judy Reyes, Daniel Sunjata, Deniz Akdeniz, and Amirah J. Each episode runs for approximately 42-44 minutes.

A single mom with a high IQ and gifted mind helps solve a crime when she accidentally knocks over a box of evidence while cleaning, leading to a new job opportunity as a consultant for the police.

Here is the trailer:

High Potential may initially seem similar to other crime series at first glance, but Kaitlin Olson takes it to the next level with a refreshing performance. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of ABC

All hail Kaitlin Olson!

She’s best known as playing Dee Reynolds on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and I also loved her on the short lived series, The Mick. I’m happy to report that she is off to a great start with High Potential. This isn’t her typical role, but she’s putting her quirky humor to good use, elevating an otherwise stale crime series. Her character is outrageous and out there, but it’s working and I actually think a lot of the humor landed because of her.

Images courtesy of ABC

A little more than your average crime series…

I’ll be honest…I was worried that this show might get old really fast once the gimmick wears off, but we also have a bigger mystery in the mix to dive into. I think that this will really help set this series apart. I’m already highly invested in Olson’s character, Morgan, and now even more so. I have a feeling that this series can become the new Found with a little effort. Fingers crossed!

The Cons:

Images courtesy of ABC

Needs to keep things fresh.

I don’t really have too many cons for this series, but I do think it needs to be careful not to fall into the case of the week trap. I’ve tuned out on similar series for this reason, but I’m hopeful that the core mystery will prevent this from happening (similar with Found).

The series is a little cheesy and I had to get used to Kaitlin Olson giving us a more serious side during certain parts, but she’s a great actress and I’m excited to see her show off her range.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of ABC

I’m in!!!

High Potential is a lot of fun thanks to Kaitlin Olson, giving this crime series a boost in the right direction!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Agatha All Along” on Disney+: A Wickedly Delightful Spin-Off!

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

“Is this really how you see yourself?”

Agatha All Along premiered on Disney+ on September 18th 2024 with the first two episodes available to stream now. There will be nine episodes in total that will air weekly. The spin-off mini series stars Kathryn Hahn, Aubrey Plaza, and Joe Locke. Each episode runs for approximately 42-45 minutes.

Set after the events of WandaVision, Agatha Harkness recruits an unlikely coven to help her gain her powers back.

Here is the trailer:

Agatha All Along is off to a fantastic start as it puts Agatha in the spotlight, allowing her to truly shine. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Disney+

Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza are fantastic!

I was so excited when I originally heard that Aubrey Plaza had signed on to this series and she is electric on screen so far. Kathryn Hahn’s dark humor is really working as well, but these two ladies have a lot of chemistry together and I can’t wait to see the rest of the episodes unfold.

The rest of the cast has a lot of potential too and it was nice seeing some familiar faces from WandaVision.

Images courtesy of Disney+

A worthy series about witches!

I haven’t been this excited about a series about witches since Chilling Adventures of Sabrina first aired. It’s one of my favorite genres and already this series is excelling in this category. It’s magically captivating and this coven looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun. I also like that the series isn’t taking itself too seriously. It’s dipping into a lot of dark, dry humor that is really making this a blast to watch.

It’s difficult for a spin-off series to excel so quickly, but Agatha All Along is managing to do so. It’s recognizing where it came from, but it’s also branching out into an intriguing story worth exploring and I can’t wait to find out happens next!

I also loved those end credits paying tribute to so many famous witches over the years!

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Disney+

I don’t have any…

Honestly, I’m loving this series so far. The only con is that I have to wait each week for a new episode. I think it will be worth the wait though!

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Disney+

I’m in 100 percent!!!

Agatha All Along is everything I could have hoped for and more!

It’s safe to say that I will be tuning in for the rest of the episodes!

Spoiler-Free Review of “AFRAID” (2024) on Demand: The Screen Time Premise is Getting Exhausting…

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

“I feel like it’s listening to us all the time…”

AFRAID released in theaters on August 30th 2024 and is now available to stream on Demand as of September 17th 2024. The sci-fi horror film stars John Cho, Katherine Waterston, Havana Rose Liu, Lukita Maxwell, and David Dastmalchian. It runs for approximately an hour and twenty-five minutes.

A marketing executive is selected to take home a new digital device named AIA to organize his family’s life, but when AIA thinks she knows what’s best for his family, she begins to take control of every situation, threatening their safety in the process.

Here is the trailer:

AFRAID channels M3gan in a lot of ways, but its gimmicky plot and cheap scares do little to enhance this viewing experience. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Sony Pictures Releasing

Talented cast.

I’m always happy to see John Cho in horror films and I thought this film had a pretty recognizable cast, which was a plus. Havana Rose Liu stole the film for me. She is quickly becoming one of my new favorite actresses. I loved her in No Exit and Bottoms. She managed to be charming and eerie at the same time with her portrayal. I just wish she got a better film…

Unfortunately the pros stop here…

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Sony Pictures Releasing

Uninspiring plot.

I just recently watched Subservience starring Megan Fox (which also channeled M3gan), but that film was a lot more interesting than AFRAID. I’ve seen too many movies with the AI taking over theme recently and while some have clever takes on it, this film fails to say anything new. The plot felt lazy and that ending was atrocious.

Images courtesy of Sony Pictures Releasing

Lack of suspense.

I would have been fine with the overdone plot if this movie was actually scary. Instead it relied on cheesy jump scares, which was beyond frustrating. There was one scene that actually had potential, but it cut away from it before showing us anything that violent or frightening. It just felt like they phoned it in with this film and didn’t really care to put in any real effort here.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Sony Pictures Releasing

Unfortunately I’m out on this one…

AFRAID fails to deliver with nothing new to say, but at least Havana Rose Liu ate up every ounce of screen time.

Still better than Night Swim though…

Spoiler-Free Review of “Believer” (2024) on Demand: A Twisted Cult Mystery

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

“Open your eyes and you will see…”

Believer (2024) premiered on Demand on September 13th 2024. The cult horror thriller film stars Ella Ballentine, Lauren Lee Smith, Ilan O’Driscoll, Peter Mooney, and Martin Roach. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-eight minutes.

While working on a book about a cult leader convicted of mind control and mass murder, a writer is targeted and attacked by him while he is on trial. Soon after, she forgets what happened and begins to hallucinate while staying with her sister’s family.

Here is the trailer:

Believer is eerie and disturbing with an intriguing mystery at its core. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Brainstorm Media

A terrifying mystery.

Cult mysteries always haunt me in a different way. It’s scary to think about how someone can be manipulated or controlled by what others believe. There was this lingering feeling of uneasiness throughout the film. In a lot of ways, it channeled the same vibe as Longlegs. The muted lighting worked to the film’s advantage and I thought the mystery was a solid one.

The opening really hooked me (similar to Longlegs). It was unnerving and it managed to capture my full attention. I had a lot of working theories around this particular mystery. It did a great job of keeping me guessing, unraveling into a layered story worth exploring.

Images courtesy of Brainstorm Media

Starts and ends strong!

I was worried that the film wouldn’t be able to hold the momentum from the opening. There were some pacing issues, but I thought the film finished strong and delivered (especially the last thirty minutes). It shattered any theory I had and branched off into something even more brutal and shocking. I’m still not sure how I felt about it, but at least it tried something different.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Brainstorm Media

Be prepared for a slow burn.

This wasn’t a major con, but things definitely slowed down A LOT after that killer opening. I kind of expected this, but we could have sped things up a little bit more. Don’t get me wrong, it still held my attention and it did jolt me with some scares and creepy moments, but I think this could have been tweaked a little bit more to make this more of a seamless watch.

There was also one particular scene I could have done without…

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Brainstorm Media

I’m in about 75 percent…

Believer features a dark and chilling mystery, but it takes a while to get there.

If you enjoy cult thrillers, this is one to add to your watchlist.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Subservience” on Demand: Megan Fox Stars as a Robot in this Soapy Version of M3GAN

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

“How can we simplify your life?”

Subservience released on Demand on September 13th 2024. The sci-fi thriller film stars Megan Fox, Michele Morrone, and Madeline Zima. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-five minutes.

After his wife falls ill, a struggling father purchases an AI Android named Alice to help out around the house, but when Alice begins to become self-aware, she decides that she wants to have her primary user all to herself, risking everyone’s life around him.

Here is the trailer:

Subservience takes a page out of M3GAN’S script and gives us a predictable, but guilty pleasure worthy thriller to indulge in. Is it your next weekend watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of XYZ Films

Megan Fox easily steps into this role with flair.

I’ve been really enjoying Megan Fox thrillers lately. Till Death quickly became one of my new favorites and she puts forth a valiant effort here in Subservience. While this thriller had a very different feel to it and leaned more toward the sci-fi genre, it still had enough outrageous soapy thrills to hold my attention. It’s one of those trashy thrillers you can enjoy on a rainy weekend with a glass of wine. If that’s your jam, then you’ll enjoy this one and Megan Fox is absolutely flawless in this role.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of XYZ Films

Nothing new here.

Some of the scenes seemed like they were ripped right out of the M3GAN movie. This film followed a different story-line, but it still took quite a lot from other films. The outcome was also really predictable and the ending felt slightly anticlimactic. I also preferred the scenes that stayed within the family drama. I didn’t need this film to branch out into a potential war against AI Androids. At times, it felt like it was doing a little too much, but luckily it circled back to its core plot.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of XYZ Films

I’m in!!!

Subservience checks off every box that a soapy and guilty pleasure thriller should. It didn’t do anything new here, but it had solid pacing and enough thrills to hold my attention until the end.

As long as you manage your expectations, you’ll enjoy this one.

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

Spoiler-Free Review of “The Front Room” in Theaters: Brandy Takes on a Mother-In-Law from Hell!

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

“This is my house…”

The Front Room released in theaters on September 6th 2024. The psychological horror film stars Brandy, Kathryn Hunter, and Andrew Burnap. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty minutes.

Belinda agrees to let her husband’s stepmother move in with them, but when she begins to target her and her baby, she refuses to let her take over her house without a fight.

Here is the trailer:

The Front Room has a trippy and eerie vibe that lingers from start to finish, but does it do enough to earn a watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of A24

Brandy is back and better than ever!!!

I really missed seeing her on the big screen. She’s one of my favorite final girls in horror from I Still Know What You Did Last Summer so it was really fun to see her in another horror flick. She commanded the screen and then some in this role! I thought she was strong, bad-ass, and really funny too. Some of her expressions had me dying of laughter. I thought she played this role to perfection and I hope to see her in more films again soon.

Kathryn Hunter also played her role exceptionally well. She was so outrageous and gruesome. I may have some nightmares about her character for quite some time. She nailed the super creepy vibe and then some!

Images courtesy of A24

The eerie vibe worked.

From the lighting to the weird visions, I was definitely feeling the creepy tone here and it was effective for the most part. This film didn’t take itself too seriously, but there were certainly enough weird occurrences happening to draw me in.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of A24

Slow pacing.

The film was not very long, but I felt like I was watching it for over two hours. The pacing needed some work. While I loved Brandy and Kathryn Hunter’s performances, I wasn’t a huge fan of Andrew Burnap’s character. He was probably one of the worst husbands I’ve seen in a film, which was beyond frustrating.

I also could have done without a lot of the gross-out moments. There was way too much of this nonsense. I’d prefer some well-placed thrills instead.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of A24

I’m in about 75 percent…

The Front Room is creepy and campy, featuring two bold performances.

The film didn’t land for me in all aspects, but I enjoyed my watch and it was great to see Brandy on the big screen again!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Place of Bones” on Demand: Don’t Mess with Heather Graham!

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

“I’ve done all I can…”

Place of Bones had a limited theatrical release on August 23rd 2024 and is now available to watch on demand as of September 6th 2024. The Western horror-thriller film stars Heather Graham, Tom Hopper, Brielle Robillard, and Corin Nemec. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-three minutes.

A mother and daughter live out on a remote ranch in the Old West, but when they decide to help a wounded outlaw, they bring a ruthless bank robbing gang to their doorstep in the process.

Here is the trailer:

Place of Bones starts off like your generic Western film, but it takes a jaw-dropping turn at the end. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Goldrush Entertainment

More Heather Graham please!

She’s so fantastic in this and she hasn’t aged a day! Her character is bad-ass and brutal and she absolutely shines in this one. The rest of the cast did a decent job as well, but I came for Heather Graham and she delivered!

Images courtesy of Goldrush Entertainment

Wild final 30 minutes!

Wow, this film took an insane turn in its last thirty minutes with an outrageous twist I didn’t see coming. Honestly, this redeemed the movie for me. It was filled with blood, action, and bad-ass moments. If you’re thinking of tuning out, stick around for this finale. It’s worth it.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Goldrush Entertainment

Super slow start!

I’m not going to lie…it was a struggle getting through the majority of this movie. It wasn’t bad, but there wasn’t a lot going on and it felt like your standard Western flick by the numbers. Graham kept things alive for me and that finale jolted me awake, but be prepared for a serious slow burn until then.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Goldrush Entertainment

I’m in about 75 percent…

Place of Bones is an insane ride featuring a bad-ass performance by Heather Graham.

Be prepared for a slow start, but I promise it will deliver in the end.
