Here is the trailer:

MATCH is the latest horror film to take a stab at the horrors of online dating, but it manages to give us a fresh take with some sickening and shocking moments. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Gets right to the point.

This film could have easily bored us with some unnecessary fluff and set-up, but instead it pulled us into a shocking nightmare right away, which I appreciated. I thought the overall pacing was solid and there were plenty of unexpected twists and turns to keep me invested until the very end.

Characters to root for.

I really liked all of the characters in this (even the side characters) and was rooting for them all. Dianne Simpson was absolutely terrifying in her role. She really went all out and it paid off, elevating this twisted film that much more.

The Cons:

Gross and disturbing.

The shock value was definitely there and if you like extreme gross-out moments, there’s plenty of that. I appreciate that they really pushed the envelope here, but there were quite a few scenes that had me beyond nauseous. Seriously sick on another level…

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

MATCH gives us plenty of stomach-turning horror in this surprisingly well-paced and outrageous film.

This was an unexpected surprise and I actually really enjoyed my watch.

I think this would make a fantastic double feature with FRESH.

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

Spoiler-Free Review of “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle” (2025) on Hulu: A Decent Enough Remake

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

“She’s pretending to be someone else…”

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle (2025) released on Hulu on October 22nd 2025. A remake of the 1992 film, the horror thriller film stars Maika Monroe, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Martin Starr, and Raul Castillo. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-four minutes.

An overwhelmed mom agrees to hire a nanny to look after her children, but she soon discovers she’s not who she claims to be, putting the lives of her family in danger.

Here is the trailer:

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle allows two scream queens the chance to battle it out on screen. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Hulu

Two powerhouse performers!

Wow, when I saw that BOTH Maika Monroe and Mary Elizabeth Winstead were starring in this, I was so excited. They are both so fantastic and I thought their performances really elevated this movie in so many ways. It was great seeing Maika Monroe play a darker character this time around, really showing off her range.

Obsessed!

Images courtesy of Hulu

A slow burn that pays off.

This film took a while to get going, but it kept building and building in such an eerie way and I loved the result. It was unhinged and unafraid to throw some surprising gore our way, making this a satisfying Lifetime-esque thriller to indulge in.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Hulu

A touch too long.

I think this film should have been just under 90 minutes. It dragged a little bit in the beginning and I was starting to wonder if ANYTHING would happen at all. Luckily it did, but it felt like it took forever to get there. The odd music chords used almost put me to sleep a number of times.

I also just have to say that the parents here made some really questionable choices when it came to their children. This was one of the most clueless husbands I have ever seen before on screen…

The very last reveal was silly and forced, but it kind of leaned into it’s movie of the week vibe seamlessly.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Hulu

I’m in!

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle does just enough to stand out from the original film with two Scream Queens leaving their mark.

This film actually delivered for a straight to streaming remake. It wasn’t perfect, but it had its twisted moments for sure. I was pleasantly surprised.

Spoiler-Free Review of “DROP” in Theaters: My Kind of Thriller!

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

“It’s just a date…”

DROP released in theaters on April 11th 2025. The horror-thriller film stars Meghann Fahy, Brandon Sklenar, Gabrielle Ryan, Ed Weeks, and Violett Beane. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-five minutes.

A widowed mother named Violet agrees to a first date at an upscale restaurant with the charming Henry, but things take an unexpected turn when she begins to receive threatening drops on her phone from a stranger.

Here is the trailer:

DROP is completely captivating with an intense premise and two likable leads. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Universal

Keeps you guessing.

Honestly, I am usually pretty good at figuring out who is behind everything in films like these, but this one stumped me. I was floored by the reveal and I loved the mystery angle. It really kept the audience on the hook, demanding our complete attention.

The setting worked really well here, keeping the focus on everyone surrounding Violet and Henry. In a lot of ways, this film reminded me of Red Eye in the best way possible. That’s one of my favorite thrillers of all time so this one is definitely in good company!

Images courtesy of Universal

Characters to root for!

Meghann Fahy has been on my radar for a little while now. She was fantastic in this one and very believable. I was rooting for her the entire time. 

The supporting characters in this were a blast as well. The server is a SCENE STEALER! He had me laughing until my sides hurt. This was so appreciated because the film did cover some heavy material at times so it still kept things light and entertaining enough. 

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Universal

I don’t have any…

I LOVED every part of this movie. I really don’t have anything negative to say about it. While it may not be for everyone, it definitely checked off every single box for me. I adore clever and intense thrillers like this and I also really liked the character layers and elements. They didn’t feel forced or gimmicky. They just worked effortlessly, helping me connect to our main girl that much more.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Universal

I’m in 100 percent!!!

DROP is a heart-pounding and clever thriller from start to finish!

My favorite film of the year so far!

Spoiler-Free Review of “The Man in the White Van” on Demand: Eerie Thriller Has Its Moments

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

“I think it was following me…”

The Man in the White Van originally released in limited theaters on December 13th 2024 and is now available to watch on Demand as of January 7th 2025. The horror-thriller film stars Madison Wolfe, Ali Larter, Sean Astin, and Brec Bassinger. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-five minutes.

Inspired by true events in 1970’s Florida, a driver begins to follow a young girl everywhere she goes, but her family dismisses her concerns, assuming that she is making things up for attention.

Here is the trailer:

The Man in the White Van is a tense thriller with a strong female lead to root for. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Relativity Media

A terrifying premise that leads up to an intense final act!

The entire film had such a creepy tone, but the last thirty minutes were insane. I was on the edge of my seat. It was jam-packed with adrenaline-filled moments. I was so happy this film turned itself around. I was concerned initially, but my watch paid off. The very end fell off a little for me, but I thought this film did a great job creating suspense with a lower budget.

Images courtesy of Relativity Media

A resourceful female lead to cheer on.

I thought the lead did a fantastic job in this. I was rooting for her the entire time. It was fun seeing Ali Larter as well (who hasn’t aged a day). Some of the other characters fit too neatly into tropes, but I was impressed with the performances in this overall.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Relativity Media

The vignettes were distracting.

This film took a similar approach to Anna Kendrick’s Woman of the Hour, but I thought that film executed things in a more effective way. The time jumps in this one didn’t do it any favors. They really didn’t add to the film and they took away from the core plot.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the excessively loud sound effects to enhance the cheesy jump scares. The premise was already terrifying enough so this seemed a little excessive to me. I also thought the film had a weak opening and some pacing issues in the middle. It did redeem itself in the final act, however.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Relativity Media

I’m in!

The Man in the White Van is a solid low budget thriller with some genuine moments of intensity.

This wasn’t the best thriller I’ve seen, but the last thirty minutes were worth the watch.

If you’re a fan of cat-and-mouse thrillers with a simple approach, there’s enough here to enjoy.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Hysteria!” on Peacock: Bruce Campbell and Julie Bowen Star in this Bizarre Series

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

“Let’s Be Satanists…”

Hysteria! premiered on October 18th 2024 on Peacock with all eight episodes available to stream now. The horror thriller series stars Bruce Campbell, Julie Bowen, Anna Camp, Emjay Anthony, Kezii Curtis, and Chiara Aurelia. Each episode runs for approximately 50-55 minutes.

When a football player goes missing, a small town begins to blame anyone influenced by the occult, including a Satanist rock band made up of teens.

Here is the trailer:

Hysteria! has a fun cast and a decent enough premise just in time for Halloween, but is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Peacock

Starts off with lots of potential.

This series is set in the 1980’s and I loved the soundtrack. I thought the opening was really creepy and weird, drawing me in to another place and time. I also really liked how this show drew from other iconic movies in the horror genre. It paid tribute to this era in a fun way and I enjoyed the band’s songs!

Images courtesy of Peacock

Bruce Campbell and Julie Bowen…

They’re the reason I tuned in and the reason I stuck with this series as long as I did. I love both actors and it was great to see them together in this. Anna Camp is always fun as well (although I’ve seen her play this exact same character before in True Blood).

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Peacock

Misused its best players…

As much as I love Bruce Campbell and Julie Bowen, I had mixed thoughts about their characters. I really missed Bruce Campbell’s sarcastic charm and humor and I think this series should have let him shine in that department. He did a solid job as the sheriff, but it also felt really flat at times. I liked Julie Bowen’s character, but even here I was searching for something more. It might have just been the content, but I was left feeling disappointed.

Extremely slow with too much fluff.

I hate when series do this. I think that this show was trying to be the next Stranger Things and it failed to reach anything close to that. There were some fun and dark moments, but it took long to get anywhere. I was fine with the ambiguous ending (although I have mixed thoughts on it), but I was completely drained of energy by the time I got there. The episodes were WAY too long and there were too many of them in my opinion, dragging things out unnecessarily.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Peacock

I’m 50/50 on this one…

Hysteria! is a confusing watch, but it does have some darker fun moments sprinkled in if you’re looking for something to binge-watch during spooky season.

I really wanted to like this one, but it went in too many different directions without ever really hooking me.

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

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 “What You Wish For” on Demand: The Perfect Thriller for Fans of The Menu

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

“Nice gig…”

What You Wish For released on demand on May 31st 2024. The horror thriller film stars Nick Stahl, Tamsin Topolski, Penelope Mitchell, and Juan Carlos Messier. It runs for approximately an hour and forty minutes.

After fleeing the country to avoid paying back his gambling debt, a chef assumes the identity of an old friend and takes on a gig as a private chef for the wealthy. However, when he finds out the agency’s true motives, he desperately tries to find a way out of his new circumstances.

Here is the trailer:

What You Wish For features an exceptional performance by Nick Stahl in this enthralling thriller that was beyond shocking. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Magnet Releasing

Visually striking.

This film was so gorgeous to look at from the scenery to the food to the lighting. It was very pleasing to the eye despite all of the horrific things that were happening, which enhanced the overall message of the film in a lot of ways.

Nick Stahl gives a worthy performance.

He felt very relatable in this role and I was drawn in by him completely. This was a smaller cast, but everyone did a great job with what they were given. I loved the performances, but Stahl was a stand-out for sure.

Images courtesy of Magnet Releasing

Hooked me right from the start!

Although the first fifteen minutes were a little slow, it quickly turned things around and hooked me with so many shocking reveals. I honestly couldn’t look away. Each shocking moment was so well placed and I really loved that ending.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Magnet Releasing

Go into it blind.

This isn’t really a con, but definitely a recommendation. It’s better if you go into this movie without knowing much about it. It will make the reveals that much more shocking. The trailer gave away a little bit too much in my opinion.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Magnet Releasing

I’m in!!!

What You Wish For is a dark and consuming thriller well worth your time.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this one and highly recommend it, especially if you enjoyed The Menu.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Humane” on Demand: Enrico Colantoni is Bloody Entertaining

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

“Humanity is the opposing side…”

Humane released on demand on April 26th 2024. The horror thriller film stars Jay Baruchel, Sebastian Chacon, Emily Hampshire, Peter Gallagher, and Enrico Colantoni. It runs for approximately 93 minutes.

After the collapse of the global environment, the government resorts to extreme measures to reduce the world’s population.

Here is the trailer:

Humane has a thought-provoking and outrageous premise, but does it do enough to earn a watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Shudder

Interesting concept.

I’ve seen a lot of “end of the world” or post-apocalyptic depictions lately in film, but I really think this one stood out as a unique gem. The idea behind it all was very intriguing and it got me thinking about a lot. I had tons of questions, which made this an engaging watch overall. I think this film will definitely create some interesting discussions and I loved the use of gore. I hope to see more from this director soon.

Images courtesy of Shudder

Enrico Colantoni is the best part of the film!

I’m a huge fan of his from the Veronica Mars days and I really loved his dark humor and quirkiness in this one. He elevated this film in so many ways and as soon as it started dragging, I was thrown right into things again because of his reactions. I absolutely loved him in this!

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Shudder

I wasn’t fully invested in the rest of the characters…

For some reason, I just couldn’t connect to any of them so I didn’t care about what happened to them. I think we needed some more character development to actually root for anyone or see them interact more as a family. I didn’t need this movie to be that much longer, but there was some opportunity here for sure.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Shudder

I’m in about 75 percent…

Humane is fresh, bloody, and entertaining enough for your next watch.

It didn’t exactly stick the landing, but it did something different, which I appreciated.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Bloodline Killer” on Demand: Shawnee Smith Stars in this Cheesy Horror-Thriller Flick

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

“If I could trade places with him, I would…”

Bloodline Killer is a horror-thriller film that released on April 26th 2024 on demand. It stars Shawnee Smith, Tyrese Gibson, Taryn Manning, Daniel Cosgrove, and Bruce Dern. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-five minutes.

After her husband is brutally murdered on Halloween night by a serial killer named Skulleton, Moira attempts to rebuild her life, but when she is convinced that the killer has returned a year later, she will do everything in her power to protect her family.

Here is the trailer:

Bloodline Killer has a decent enough cast and a solid premise, but it gets lost in a plot that never really goes anywhere. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Vertical

Decent opening and familiar faces…

I really wanted to like this movie. I was immediately drawn in because it took place on Halloween and of course I’m going to tune in for Shawnee Smith. I thought the opening had some serious potential. I was expecting a cheesy, campy slasher flick and it gave off these vibes early on, which was promising. Unfortunately the pros stop there…

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Vertical

Cringe-worthy dialogue and acting that leaves a lot to be desired…

The dialogue was AWFUL. There were a few actors I have seen in multiple films and shows and yet no one really shined. I can’t really blame them though because this film didn’t give them a lot to work with, but this was so disappointing.

The pacing was dreadful. Everything dragged so much and I felt like I was watching this for hours. It was really tough for me to get through this but I powered through it as much as I could.

The killer was a complete letdown.

The fight scenes and kills were ridiculous. I don’t need extreme gore, but they could have tried to make them at least a little bit scary and inventive. I also still don’t even understand the point of this movie or why the killer was after them in the first place. We’re given an explanation early on, but it just felt like a cheap rip-off of Michael Myers to me.

I was hoping for an explosive ending to redeem this film, but it didn’t come close to achieving that.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Vertical

Unfortunately I’m out on this one…

Bloodline Killer had all the ingredients to be a fun campy slasher film, but it never found its way, making this a boring, uninspiring, and frustrating watch.

Shawnee Smith deserves better and so does the audience.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Til Death Do Us Part” (2023) on Demand: An Absolute Train Wreck…

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

“I can’t go through with it…”

Til Death Do Us Part (2023) released in select theaters on August 4th 2023 and is now currently available to watch on demand as of September 19th 2023. The horror-thriller film stars Natalie Burn, Cam Gigandet, Jason Price, Orlando Jones, and Ser’Darius Blain. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-five minutes.

After running away from her wedding, a bride must fight for her life against seven deadly groomsmen.

Here is the trailer:

Til Death Do Us Part attempts to channel films like Ready or Not and The Invitation, but does it do enough to earn a watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Born to Burn Films

Fun premise with a decent female lead.

When I first saw the poster for this film, I was so excited to watch it. It screamed Ready or Not and it was billed as being from the creator of Final Destination, which I thought should be a very good thing. The actual idea behind this film was really solid and our female lead wasn’t half bad. She put forth some effort in her fight scenes (even though some of them were completely ridiculous and unbelievable) and gave me some incentive to watch until the end.

The pros stop here though…

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Born to Burn Films

Terrible dialogue and mediocre fight scenes…

The dialogue was so excruciatingly bad in this. I recognized a few actors in this one so I thought it had potential, but as soon as they opened their mouths, it was over. The fight scenes were OK and everyone spent way too much time walking around and talking about absolutely nothing for the majority of the movie.

The flashbacks felt mostly filler even though they sort of made sense by the time I got to the end. I really didn’t care at that point, but at least they gave me a break from listening to Cam Gigandet’s character recite his best man speech over and over again…

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Born to Burn Films

Unfortunately I’m out on this one…

Disappointing and excruciatingly painful to get through.

I’d recommend just watching Ready or Not again instead…
