**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:

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!

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.

My supernatural thriller Girl Number Thirteen is out now! I hope you enjoy!

Spoiler-Free Review of “The Monkey” in Theaters: A Campy Good Time!

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

“Turn the key and see what happens…”

The Monkey released in theaters on February 21st 2025. The American horror comedy film (based on the short story by Stephen King) stars Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, Colin O’Brien, Elijah Wood, Rohan Campbell, and Adam Scott. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-five minutes.

When twin brothers discover a strange wind-up toy, they soon realize that it may be causing horrific deaths around them. Twenty-five years later, a new killing spree begins, forcing them to confront the toy once again.

Here is the trailer:

The Monkey doesn’t hold anything back, presenting us with violent and shocking kills while still having some fun. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Cringe-worthy kills.

If you enjoy films like Final Destination, then this is the film for you. The kills are outrageous, extreme, and stomach-turning. You won’t be disappointed and I was pleased that the trailer didn’t ruin them all.

I also really liked the dry humor included in this. I was worried that this movie might take itself too seriously, but it went with the bonkers concept and just had fun, making this a blast to experience in theaters.

Theo James stole the show!

My new favorite genre is Theo James covered in blood! He was absolutely fantastic in this! Normally I hate voice-over narrations, but I enjoyed listening to him. The past and the present timelines were equally interesting and a lot of that has to do with the cast.

Tatiana Maslany was great as well and it was fun seeing a lot of familiar faces pop up in this one.

The Cons:

Sluggish pacing in the second half.

I think I preferred the first half of this film to the second. Don’t get me wrong…I liked the second half too and that’s where Theo James shined, but there were some pacing issues. The movie was only an hour and thirty-five minutes, but it felt like it was dragging a little bit until we got to the final act. I think we could have wrapped things up a little bit quicker.

That’s really my only con. I thought everything else came together seamlessly.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!!

The Monkey is a bonkers and bloody watch!

Theo James is a lot of fun in this one. I highly recommend it!
