“My family doesn’t do Halloween…”

The Curse of Bridge Hollow released on Netflix on October 14th 2022. The Halloween comedy stars Marlon Wayans, Kelly Rowland, Priah Ferguson, Lauren Lapkus, and Rob Riggle. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-two minutes.

Here is the trailer:

The Curse of Bridge Hollow has something for everyone in the family, creating the perfect balance of spooky Halloween fun with comedy gold. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Has all the ingredients for the perfect family Halloween film!

I went into this film hoping for the best and it did not disappoint! It nailed the Halloween vibe and then some! I would honestly rank this film right up there with Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown and it’s absolutely going to become part of my yearly Halloween lineup. 

There was the perfect balance of heart and spooky fun in this. I absolutely loved the concept and all of the characters were so much fun!

Marlon Wayans is hilarious!

This should come as no surprise since he’s so funny in everything he does, but I’m not sure that I would have liked this movie as much without him. Some of these films lack in the humor department even though they make a valiant effort (Hocus Pocus 2), but this film was laugh out loud funny and that was because of him.

I loved all of the other actors and characters as well. Everyone played the perfect role, adding to the fun!

The Cons:

I don’t have any…

I love Halloween. It’s my absolute favorite holiday and I felt like this film was made for true fans of the holiday. Hopefully it even convinced a few non-believers to join in on the fun! I don’t have any cons. This movie was everything I could have hoped for and more!

So am I in or out?

The Halloween movie I’ve been waiting for!

If you love Halloween, you’ll love this movie. Trust me!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The Walking Dead” Season 10 Episode 10: Stalker

Happy Monday TV fans! After watching AMC’s The Walking Dead season 10 episode 10, we were reminded that fear can be a powerful motivator. Should we simply let the fear in or do we channel it into something far greater?

Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. 

In last night’s episode, “Stalker,” Beta shows off just how terrifying he can be, but there are a few characters waiting to take a stab at him. Meanwhile, Daryl and Alpha face off, Gamma and Judith bond, and Rosita confides in Gabriel.

My top 5 moments from The Walking Dead season 10 episode 10 are:

5

“I’m trying to help…”

After the incident at the cave, Gamma shows up to speak with Gabriel and Rosita, claiming that she is there to help them.

She tells them about her sister’s baby and tries to earn their trust, but Rosita is not buying it for one second, as she decides to punch her in the face and throw her into a cell.

I can’t say I really blame her…

4

“I can feel that Coco is wondering where he is.”

Our girl Rosita gets some well deserved screen time in this episode and takes a minute to confide in Gabriel. While I’m not the biggest fan of Rosita and Gabriel together, it is important for her to talk to someone about her grief.

Rosita realizes that she is not the only one missing Siddiq, wondering how it will impact her child, which just goes to show you how much she has transformed as a character. Rosita has always been such a fierce warrior, but she is now a selfless mother and her fears are becoming all too real, especially when she has a nightmare about Beta trying to hurt Coco.

“You don’t look like a monster to me.”

After Gamma is tossed into a cell, Judith takes some time to get to know her. Gamma or Mary begins to fill her in on her past, but starts to realize that Alpha made her forget quite a lot. Clearly, she forgot to mention her amazing role in Hocus Pocus!

Judith thinks that Mary met the wrong person first, explaining that her mother and father would have helped her. She always has a way of seeing the good in everyone, which really shows you how mature she is. Rick would be proud!

2

“Step towards me!”

After Gabriel and the others leave, Beta takes this opportunity to begin slaughtering those left behind. He comes for Gamma and tells her that her death will be painless and quick if she simply steps towards him.

Gamma has a real moment of empowerment and reflection here, as she refuses to do so, explaining that Alpha is always lying. She makes a run for it and Judith helps her out.

In one of the most chilling scenes I have witnessed in a while, Beta walks through the house looking for Gamma and Judith. The music stops and all we hear are crickets chirping, really bringing this “stalker” vibe to life.

Judith shoots Beta through the door, but he is wearing bullet proof gear and we also get to witness this incredible fight scene between him and Rosita. The girls were on fire in this episode, refusing to back down for one second and Gamma/Mary has now proven herself worthy.

She tells Beta to step towards her, dismissing all of her past fears in the process. Beta manages to get away unharmed, but I thought that this was the most exciting part of the episode.

More of this please!

1

“Your way is not the only way.”

We also get a fight between Daryl and Alpha during this episode and both of them end up stuck in quite the jam. They are both severely injured, but Daryl takes this time to remind Alpha that she drove Lydia away.

Lydia is still Alpha’s weakness, as she begins to let her true emotions show. Lydia appears and it initially seems like she is hallucinating, but Lydia has truly come back to save Daryl. Yay Lydia!

She is unable to kill her mother and somehow Alpha is getting patched up, as we gear up for an epic war between The Whisperers and our group.

Stay tuned!
