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:

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:

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?

Unfortunately I’m out on this one…

Disappointing and excruciatingly painful to get through.

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

Spoiler-Free Review of “The Passenger” on Demand: Kyle Gallner is Absolutely Brilliant in this Gripping Horror-Thriller

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

“You should stop now…”

The Passenger (2023) released on Demand on August 4th 2023. The horror-thriller film stars Kyle Gallner, Johnny Berchtold, and Liza Weil. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-five minutes.

Randy is used to living each day unnoticed at his job, but when one of his co-workers goes on a violent rampage, he must confront his past and figure out a way to stay alive.

Here is the trailer:

The Passenger is captivating and brutal, taking a dark and realistic look into actions that can alter our lives permanently. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Blumhouse

All hail our Scream King…

Kyle Gallner doesn’t get enough credit. He is one of the most versatile actors around and has appeared in plenty of horror flicks over the years. This may be my favorite role by him yet. He was charismatic, unfiltered, and deranged in such a compelling way. He really showed off so much range in this film.

I wouldn’t say that he was a character to root for given the circumstances, but he lit up the screen and made this film what it was. 

One of the most powerful performances I witnessed all year. Wow…

Images courtesy of Blumhouse

A horror deep rooted in reality…

These are the horror films that stick with me the most. The ones that could happen on any given day. They’re terrifying because they are so random and visceral, reminding you that you can’t ever know what’s going on inside of someone else.

I really loved the way this film analyzed how actions (intentional or not) can impact others in so many different ways. They can motivate us to be stronger or they can damage our moral compass permanently. And then there’s the most common way that past actions and trauma can impact us…through non-action…merely allowing things to just happen.

This film explored so many interesting psychological elements, taking us on an unconventional road trip of self-discovery under dire circumstances.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Blumhouse

Not your average fast-paced thriller…

This film never felt slow or sluggish to me. But it wasn’t what I expected. If you’re looking for a thriller jam-packed with action, this isn’t that film. That being said, it branched off into something even more spectacular, which held my attention the entire time. Just be aware that this is a different kind of movie.

Also, it should be noted that some scenes depicting gun violence may be triggering for some.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Blumhouse

I’m in!

Kyle Gallner gives the performance of his career in this dark and consuming watch that will stick with you long after it’s over.

This film was not what I was expecting, but I was completely drawn in by it.

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.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Half Sisters” on Demand: Twisty Thriller has its moments

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

“First one to find it gets to keep it…”

Half Sisters released on demand on July 21st 2023. The horror-thriller film stars Sydney Winbush, Kristy Dawn Dinsmore, Ryan Findley, and Katie O’Grady. It runs for approximately an hour and seventeen minutes.

Two feuding half sisters reunite in their old farmhouse as they soon discover that an inheritance check for one million dollars has been hidden somewhere on the property. Only things get more complicated when several masked intruders show up as well.

Here is the trailer:

Half Sisters has a clever premise that pulls you in with several twists to keep you guessing up until the end. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Cranked Up Films

Decent acting and premise.

I thought both of the main actresses did a terrific job with what they were given. They both had to go all out in certain scenes and they didn’t hold back.

I really liked the premise of this movie. I thought it was a clever spin on the home invasion genre and it wasn’t afraid to go in a different direction when given the chance. The pacing was solid for the most part and this was a quick watch without too much fluff in-between.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Cranked Up Films

Distracting bright lighting in the flashbacks…

I thought that the flashbacks were necessary and they helped moved the plot along, but they were presented with this blinding sunlight around them. It was distracting and I couldn’t really see what was going on.

I appreciate that this was a lower budget film and I’m all for supporting indie and lesser known film creators, but it made it difficult to focus on what was transpiring during these scenes.

Over-the-top twists…

I think it will come down to preference, but I thought this film had one too many twists. I like when films take risks with their twists and this one definitely did so, but I sort of preferred the first half of the movie. Sure, it was a plot I had seen before for the most part, but it was really entertaining.

Once the twists started being revealed, things went off the rails really fast. That being said, there were still plenty of shocking moments sprinkled into the mix.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Cranked Up Films

I’m 50/50 on this one…

I loved the idea around Half Sisters, but I think it went off the deep end a little bit with its twists.

That may just be my take, however.

Either way, there was enough here to keep me invested until the end of the movie.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Fear the Night” on Demand: Maggie Q Shines in “You’re Next” style Thriller

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

“Do all you can to survive…”

Fear the Night released on demand on July 21st 2023. The horror-thriller film stars Maggie Q, Kat Foster, Gia Crovatin, and Ito Aghayere. It runs for approximately 90 minutes.

Tess, a war veteran with a jaded past, has mixed feelings about attending a bachelorette party in the middle of nowhere, but when a group of masked intruders show up to do them harm, she must figure out a way to survive the night.

Here is the trailer:

Fear the Night reminds us that it’s never a good idea to mess with Maggie Q, bringing us some bad-ass and bloody moments worth cheering about it. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Quiver Distribution

She’s the Queen for a reason!

Maggie Q is one of my all-time favorite actresses. I’d pretty much watch her in anything and every single time she appears on screen, she reminds us just how talented and bad-ass she is.

She is so good in horror films and I love when she gets the opportunity to play to her strengths. This movie is your standard home invasion thriller in a lot of ways, but it felt so much better at times because of its leading lady and I almost felt like this movie was made just for me. Seriously, I loved it!

She was the best part of this movie and did not disappoint! I hope that she continues to play roles like this in the future because she’s so good at them.

Images courtesy of Quiver Distribution

My kind of thriller…

I LOVE horror-thriller films like this. Give me a girls trip or a party gone wrong with some bad-ass ladies out for blood. In a lot of ways, this film reminded me of a mix between You’re Next and Black Christmas (2019). There were some really satisfying moments sprinkled in with plenty of intensity. There were a few really brutal kills too that caught me by surprise.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Quiver Distribution

Some questionable decisions…

It seemed like the bad guys made a lot of dumb decisions throughout this movie. Maybe that was intentional to really lean into the whole girl power vibe, but I was scratching my head during a few moments.

I was a little confused about some of the tension in the beginning of the film between Tess and the other characters. I didn’t need this movie to be longer than it was, but a few more details would have been helpful.

I also just need to say that Tess was pretty much the only redeemable character. It was hard to root for some of the others because they were just so awful…

On another note, the ending didn’t really gel with the rest of the movie. I get the point of it completely, but I think the film had the opportunity to end in a few different ways that might have packed more of a punch.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Quiver Distribution

I’m in!!!

Maggie Q delivers in this satisfying thriller that will have you cheering for her from start to finish.

If you enjoy home invasion thrillers with strong female leads, you’ll find plenty to appreciate in this film.

Spoiler-Free Review of “The Wrath of Becky” in Theaters: Blood-Soaked Sequel Delivers!

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

“Who the f*ck is this girl?”

The Wrath of Becky released in limited theaters on May 26th 2023. The horror-thriller film stars Lulu Wilson, Seann William Scott, Denise Burse, Courtney Gains, and Kate Siegel. It runs for approximately an hour and twenty-five minutes.

Two years after escaping a violent attack on her family, Becky attempts to start over in the care of an older woman, but when a violent group invades her home and takes her dog, Diego, Becky embraces her old self to turn the tables on them.

Here is the trailer:

The Wrath of Becky allows Lulu Wilson to shine in the best possible way, bringing us a bloody and wickedly entertaining sequel that has plenty of gruesome moments. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Quiver Distribution

Lulu Wilson knocks it out of the park!

Becky (2020) was such a welcomed surprise when I first watched it and it had so much edge and grit. Lulu Wilson was electric in that film, but she really goes all out in the sequel, proving to be an unstoppable force. She is bad-ass, ruthless, and absolutely charming! I loved her in this film and I was rooting for her and Diego the entire time.

Seann William Scott played a worthy opponent. I was worried that it wouldn’t feel the same without Kevin James, but Scott stepped in and was super entertaining as well, making this the perfect match-up.

Images courtesy of Quiver Distribution

Entertaining kills!

This should come as no surprise since the original film didn’t hold back in the gore department. The kills were brutal and stomach-turning. The sequel doesn’t let the audience down. The kills were inventive and really satisfying, adding in some dark humor as well to spice things up.

The pacing worked really well in this film. I never felt bored at all. Nothing was dragged out and the ending was really intriguing! More please!

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Quiver Distribution

The voice-over narration…

I’m not a huge fan of this in general so this may just come down to preference, but the voice-over narration felt off brand, especially since I just re-watched the original film. It didn’t really take away from anything and I get that the film was trying to fill in the blanks from the past two years and also bring in a new potential audience, but it wasn’t for me.

That being said, some of it was really witty and enjoyable so I can’t fault it too much. I also wanted a little bit more from the final showdown, but maybe that’s just because I liked it so much and didn’t want it to end.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Quiver Distribution

I’m in 100 percent!!!

Lulu Wilson is out of this world and my new favorite bad-ass queen! The Wrath of Becky is a solid sequel that doesn’t hold back.

It’s bloody, entertaining, and an absolute blast!

This is quickly becoming one of my new favorite franchises and I hope the fun continues!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Influencer” on Shudder: Wickedly Fun Thriller

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

“Traveling is all about experiencing new things…”

Influencer premiered on Shudder on May 26th 2023. The horror-thriller film stars Emily Tennant, Cassandra Naud, and Rory J. Saper. It runs for approximately 92 minutes.

A social media influencer seeks inspiration in Thailand when she befriends a woman named CW, who offers to show her the local hot spots. But CW’s interest in the woman takes an unexpected and dark turn.

Here is the trailer:

Influencer takes a stab at the dangers of “becoming famous” on social media, exploring a disturbing take on obsession and the desire to be known. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Shudder

Fresh take on the social media genre…

I’ve seen way too many films about this lately, but I have to say that Influencer presented the audience with a unique take on things. It crafted the perfect balance of a Single White Female-esque obsession in today’s world without overthinking things. The idea may not be new, but I thought the execution was really entertaining and twisted, making this an interesting watch overall.

Images courtesy of Shudder

Super strong start and finish!

Wow, I was completely hooked by the opening of this movie. It took me for surprise in such a gut-wrenching way. The ending was FANTASTIC and so bad-ass. I absolutely loved it. 

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Shudder

Goes off course in the middle…

While this film started off with a bang and stuck the landing, the middle was a little murky and confusing. It was still interesting enough and it held my attention, but I was worried about where the film was going and I think it lost its way a little bit. The pacing also slowed down as well, but luckily things picked up.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Shudder

I’m in!!!

Deranged and disturbing with plenty of shocking moments sprinkled in.

I thoroughly enjoyed my watch and recommend this one…especially if you enjoy films like Single White Female, The Roomate, and Swimfan.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Hunt Her, Kill Her” on Demand: Brutal and Bad-Ass!

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

“Ever worked in a place like this before?”

Hunt Her, Kill Her (formerly titled Night Shift) released on Demand on April 14th 2023. It previously had a limited theatrical release on March 3rd 2023. The horror-thriller film stars Natalie Terrazzino. It runs for approximately an hour and twenty-eight minutes.

Karen starts a new job as a night shift janitor, which quickly escalates into a fight for survival when several intruders break in.

Here is the trailer:

Hunt Her, Kill Her is a tense and violent thriller with a strong female lead and a simple formula that works. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Trauma One Entertainment

A terrifying premise that gets better and better with each scene!

I love when a simple thriller like this excels. It’s clear that this film had a lower budget and yet it used what it had and went for it without holding back. Wow! The setting and premise were really creepy, enhancing the overall tone of the film.

We didn’t get very much set-up and started off things rather quickly, never giving the audience a chance to come up for air. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and there were some moments that made my jaw drop in the best way possible.

Each scene built up so much intensity and there was a twist that made this film pop even more. In a lot of ways, this film reminded me of Open 24 Hours.

This was my type of thriller and then some!

Images courtesy of Trauma One Entertainment

A resourceful female lead to root for!

I love a strong Final Girl and when she can be ruthless and inventive with her kills, that makes me love her that much more. Terrazzino held her own and really dominated the screen. I was cheering for her the entire time and loved how bad-ass she was. Wow!

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Trauma One Entertainment

I needed a few more details…

Don’t get me wrong, I love that we jumped right into things with minimal fluff and set-up, but I needed a little bit more to fill in some blanks. Once we got to the twist, I was scratching my head a little bit because I needed a touch more to truly appreciate everything. This wasn’t a major con, but I think it would have helped me connect to Karen even quicker if we got a few more layers earlier on.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Trauma One Entertainment

I’m in!!!

Hunt Her, Kill Her brings a night from hell to life with a fantastic performance by Natalie Terrazzino, keeping me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.

I’ve been anxiously waiting to watch this film and I was super bummed that it didn’t release in my local theater. I’m happy to report that this film exceeded my expectations! I absolutely loved it!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Play Dead” on Demand: Twisted Thriller Delivers

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

“Now it’s time to die…”

Play Dead released on Demand on April 7th 2023. The horror-thriller film stars Bailee Madison, Jerry O’Connell, Anthony Turpel, and Chris Lee. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-five minutes.

Chloe fakes her own death to break into a morgue, but quickly discovers that the coroner is involved in a dangerous business that is more deadly than she could have imagined.

Here is the trailer:

Play Dead is a fast-paced thriller filled with edge-of-your-seat moments that keep you invested from start to finish. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Voltage Pictures

A solid game of cat and mouse.

I personally love horror-thriller films like this. Our focus is mainly on Chloe as she winds up trapped in a morgue with a coroner with deadly secrets. There are so many intense moments in this film and it kept my undivided attention the entire time. Sometimes less is more and this film understood that, focusing on the little moments in-between that were terrifying enough on their own.

The pacing was also really on point. The movie was a touch longer than it needed to be, but I think they did a solid job with this and I never lost interest.

Images courtesy of Voltage Pictures

Bailee Madison is fierce and bad-ass!

I really loved her in The Strangers: Prey at Night and she was also just recently in the Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin series, but she was absolutely terrific in this film and really commanded the screen. Much of our attention is focused on her and her alone and she really put forth a valiant effort here and I really hope that she does more films like this because I think that she will quickly become a force to be reckoned with in the horror genre.

Jerry O’Connell did a great job with his role as well.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Voltage Pictures

Far-fetched and outrageous at times…

I would manage your expectations in this department and expect things to be a little ridiculous and unbelievable at times. However, as long as you just go with it, you’ll have an entertaining watch.

There was one twist I saw coming a mile away, but I still thought this film had plenty going for it so I didn’t really mind at all.

So am I in or out?

Play Dead brings a terrifying premise to life with a strong female lead to root for and plenty of intense moments.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Unseen” on Demand: Satisfying Thriller Worth Your Time

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

“It’s a miracle I got you…”

Unseen released on Demand on March 7th 2023. The horror-thriller film stars Midori Francis, Jolene Purdy, Michael Patrick Lane, and Missi Pyle. It runs for approximately an hour and sixteen minutes.

A gas station clerk named Sam receives a random phone call from a nearly blind stranger named Emily who has been abducted by her ex-boyfriend. Acting as a guide for Emily through her phone, Sam quickly becomes her only hope at survival.

Here is the trailer:

Unseen is a fantastic mix of See for Me and Alone with a fast-paced, intense premise and two likable leads. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Paramount Movies

No waiting!

Talk about starting off with a bang…

This film has minimal set-up and throws the audience into things with barely any warning. The pacing was on point and at barely an hour and twenty minutes long, I never looked at the time even once.

This film was filled with edge-of-your-seat moments and some touching ones as well without ever overdoing it. It all just worked in a simple and effective way, which is exactly the kind of thriller I love to see.

Images courtesy of Paramount Movies

Two strong female leads to root for.

I absolutely loved both of these leading ladies. They were both incredible and I actually really dug the fact that they seemed so normal. It just made their bond and quest for survival that much more intriguing.

Even though we had minimal set-up in the beginning of the film, we still got enough layers between these two as they continued to talk, which helped me care about them even more.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Paramount Movies

Far-fetched at times…

Sure, some of the characters were a little outrageous and there were some moments that had me scratching my head, but just go with it and you’ll enjoy the ride. It all added to the intensity so I’m not complaining too much here.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Paramount Movies

I’m in 100 percent!!!

Keep making horror-thrillers like this and I’ll keep watching them and so will a lot of other viewers!

Fast-paced, fierce, and absolutely FANTASTIC from start to finish!

I absolutely loved this film and highly recommend it.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Run Sweetheart Run” on Prime Video: Twisted and Thrilling!

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

“The only thing that matters now is our little game…”

Run Sweetheart Run released on Prime Video on October 28th 2022. The thriller-horror film stars Ella Balinska, Pilou Asbæk, Clark Gregg, Betsy Brandt, and Dayo Okeniyi. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-five minutes.

A single mother attempts to survive the night after her blind date turns violent.

Here is the trailer:

Run Sweetheart Run has non-stop thrills and plenty of twists to keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Prime Video

Fast-paced and unpredictable!

This movie was so entertaining and fast-paced. There was barely any set-up at all. It got right into things and kept the intensity going with every scene. I didn’t see the twists and reveals coming. Some of them were a little insane, but I embraced them and just went with it, which made this so much fun to watch!

Images courtesy of Prime Video

Killer premise with a strong female lead.

I absolutely loved the premise of this movie. In a lot of ways, it reminded me of a mix between Ready or Not and Fresh. Our female lead was incredible and it was very easy to root for her. She was inventive and bad-ass!

I loved our villain as well and there were plenty of other characters with lots of potential too.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Prime Video

Some unanswered questions…

Since we got several twists thrown our way, I was left with a lot of unanswered questions by the time we got to the end. There was just a lot jam-packed into this movie and I think a few things could have been fleshed out more.

So am I in or out?

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 new island thriller!
