Spoiler-Free Review of “Something Very Bad is Going to Happen” on Netflix: A Chilling Horror Series Worth your Time

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

“Are you sure he’s the one?”

Something Very Bad is Going to Happen is a limited horror series featuring eight episodes available to stream now on Netflix. It stars Camila Morrone, Adam DiMarco, Gus Birney, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Karla Crome, and Jeff Wilbusch. Each episode runs for approximately 42-48 minutes.

Rachel and Nicky head to his family home for their wedding, but Rachel begins to sense something ominous surrounding her big day. She soon finds out about a deadly curse if she doesn’t marry her true soulmate by sundown on her wedding day.

Here is the trailer:

Something Very Bad is Going to Happen has a familiar, but eerie enough premise to draw you in, leading up to a jaw-dropping conclusion. Is this series worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

An eerie mystery.

In a lot of ways, this show reminded me of a Mike Flanagan series. I mean that as a compliment. There was this eerie gothic vibe that trickled through the entire series. I was completely hooked by the time I got to episode three and I thought the mystery surrounding the curse was a solid one.

Shocking ending.

I thought I had this one all figured out, but it definitely took an unexpected turn at the end. I’m still thinking about the ending. There will be no spoilers in this review, but wow…

Things didn’t turn out exactly as I expected them to, but I think this was for the best, helping this series stand out a little bit more in a unique way.

The Cons:

Nothing new here.

This film definitely had similar vibes to It Follows and Final Destination: Bloodlines. This isn’t a bad thing, but it’s a plot I’ve seen before. That being said, I still think it was executed exceptionally well. The overall sense of dread in this series was definitely captured and there were a few stand-out episodes that were presented in such a compelling way.

I also think this series could have been a little shorter. I think we could have wrapped everything up in six episodes, but I did find this one very easy to binge-watch.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Something Very Bad is Going to Happen nails its creepy, sinister vibe with a layered mystery at its core worth exploring.

This was a solid watch if you’re a fan of horror series.

Ranking my Top 12 Films of 2025: Which Movies Made The Cut?

It’s that time of year again! As we get closer and closer to approaching 2026, I thought it would be the perfect time to count down my Top 12 Films of 2025.

There are still a lot of movies that I have not seen yet, but I wanted to highlight some of my favorites of the year so far!

My Top 12 Films of 2025 are:

12

The Housemaid

Wow, this movie was a trip in the best possible way! I loved the twist. If you love guilty pleasure thrillers, there are plenty of juicy and shocking moments in this one to indulge in. Plus, Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney are dynamic on screen together.

11

Materialists

Written and directed by Celine Song (who wrote and directed one of my favorite films, Past Lives), this movie was so beautifully done. It was intelligent without being overbearing and it really captured what’s important when it comes to relationships and the standards we are often held to.

This was such a thought-provoking watch and I loved every second of it.

10

Final Destination: Bloodlines

It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of the Final Destination franchise and I have been waiting years for this film to be released. Well…it was worth the wait. This movie was gory, shocking, and an absolute blast, featuring one of the best openings I have ever seen in a Final Destination movie.

9

Companion

This movie was so entertaining! It had the right blend of humor and violence, making this a blood-soaked horror comedy worth your time. Sophie Thatcher was absolutely terrific in this!

8

Heart Eyes

A slasher that delivers and then some! I’m a huge fan of 90’s slashers and this film really tapped into that in a lot of ways. It wasn’t afraid to be campy and silly while delivering on some extreme gore and the chemistry between our two main leads was off the charts!

7

The Long Walk

Based on the novel by Stephen King, this film was a gut-wrenching and emotional movie that really moved me and destroyed me at the same time. This is one of those movies that completely sucks you into its world and when you are finished watching, you’re forever changed.

6

Bone Lake

I can’t stop talking about how much I loved this movie! It had such an insane final act that really popped. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but the payoff is worth it. Trust me!

5

Influencers

A sequel that somehow manages to top the original film (which I’m a huge fan of). This movie was batshit crazy in the best way possible. It really found its voice in this one, delivering in so many ways. Our two female leads were OUTSTANDING and weren’t afraid to go all out here, making this such a an entertaining popcorn watch. I really hope they make a third film!

4

Dangerous Animals

I saw this movie a few weeks before it released at a movie mystery night and I was beyond excited. I love shark movies and this quickly became my favorite one after Jaws. Sharks plus a deranged serial killer is quite the combo and Jai Courtney gave his best performance to date in my opinion. He was bloody brilliant!

3

Weapons

This was such an insane ride and I loved every second of it. It’s best to go into this movie completely blind. I thought it was so fantastic and the second half was jaw-dropping and shocking. I can’t say enough good things about this movie.

2

Sinners

When I think about cinema and what films should really achieve, I think of this movie. It had EVERYTHING in it. The music was amazing, the time period just worked seamlessly, the performances were out of this world, and the thrills kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. An absolute masterpiece!

Honorable Mentions:

Together

The Conjuring: Last Rites

Freakier Friday

Bring Her Back

Black Phone 2

Night Always Comes

The Monkey

Drum roll please…

DROP

I love simple, fast-paced thrillers like this. I had a feeling I would love this movie when I first saw the trailer and it exceeded my expectations.

Meghann Fahy is one to watch. She was such a bad-ass lead. This movie kept me guessing until the last moments and I loved the humor sprinkled in. This film was definitely my kind of movie and I absolutely fell in love with it.

I hope to see more films from 2025 soon, but I hope you enjoyed the list!

Did you have a favorite film of 2025? If so, drop it in the comments!

I wish you all a happy and healthy new year and can’t wait to review more new films in 2026! Happy viewing!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Final Destination Bloodlines” in Theaters: A Fun Addition to the Franchise

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

“This dream is ruining my life…”

Final Destination Bloodlines released in theaters on May 16th 2025. The sixth entry to the horror franchise stars Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Richard Harmon, Teo Briones, Owen Joyner, Brec Bassinger, and Tony Todd. It runs for approximately an hour and fifty minutes.

After being plagued by a recurring nightmare connected to her grandmother’s horrific past, Stefani reunites with her family in order to stop death’s plan.

Here is the trailer:

Final Destination Bloodlines is a solid entry to one of my favorite horror franchises, filled with over-the-top gore and plenty of Easter eggs for fans of the previous films. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of New Line Cinema

Killer opening!

Let’s be honest…the opening scenes of the Final Destination films are memorable and some of them have even influenced some of my own choices…especially when I see certain types of trucks on the highway.

I was very pleased with the opening to the sixth film. It was one of the strongest for me. I loved every second of it! Wow.

Connections to the other films.

It was both heartbreaking and amazing seeing Tony Todd on the screen one last time. He really is the face of this franchise and I loved that we finally got some answers this time involving his character. Sure, he was still cryptic and mysterious, but he ate up every minute of screen time and I loved it. RIP Tony Todd.

I just recently rewatched the previous five films so everything was fresh in my head. I loved the connections and Easter eggs here. I really love when sequels do this rather than abandoning what’s come before.

There were a few stand-out characters in this one for me. The 100’s Richard Harmon was a scene stealer. It felt like John Murphy was on the screen again and I hope he gets cast in more movies because he’s great!

The actress playing Stef was decent enough, although I preferred the majority of the leads who came before her.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of New Line Cinema

A little longer than it needed to be…

The rest of the films were all about 90 minutes so I’m not sure why they decided to make this one longer. There were some parts in-between everything that felt like unnecessary fluff and dragged things out more than they needed to be. I thought the ending was also kind of ok…but I still enjoyed everything overall.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Final Destination Bloodlines is a solid entry to the franchise, featuring gory outrageous kills, a few unexpected twists, and a proper sendoff to a legend.

I went into this one with low expectations and I actually thoroughly enjoyed my watch.

My updated ranking to the Final Destination films would be:

Final Destination

Final Destination 3

Final Destination Bloodlines

Final Destination 2

Final Destination 5

The Final Destination

A VACATION TO DIE FOR…

Blood Rose Island Ad

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. There’s only one rule…they can’t miss their ferry at midnight or they’ll have to wait until morning to leave the island. Only they didn’t realize that breaking this rule meant they would be hunted down on the island one by one.

Who will make it off the island alive?

I hope you enjoy my island thriller!
