“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.

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.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Night Always Comes” on Netflix: A Dark and Gripping Watch

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

“You control your choices…”

Night Always Comes released on August 15th 2025 on Netflix. Based on the book, “The Night Always Comes,” the crime thriller drama film stars Vanessa Kirby, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Stephan James, Randall Park, and Eli Roth. It runs for approximately an hour and fifty minutes.

Lynette has one night to come up with $25,000 or her family will be evicted, forcing her to resort to extreme measures in order to come up with the cash.

Here is the trailer:

Night Always Comes takes a deep look at the harsh reality surrounding the main character, giving the audience a balance of intense moments and heartbreaking ones that really make you think about your own choices under extreme conditions. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Vanessa Kirby gives a convincing performance.

I thought that she was fantastic in this. Her character had a lot of layers and flaws, which made her more realistic to me. We didn’t spend too much time on her backstory, but as the plot continued to unfold, we got more information about what she was going through and how she used to live, which hooked me that much more.

She wasn’t really on my radar before this (even though I’ve seen her in a few films), but I am looking forward to seeing her in more now.

Adrenaline-filled moments.

While I wouldn’t say that this was a clear cut thriller, the film did have plenty of intense moments that had me on the edge of my seat. My heart was pounding during a few key scenes. This was a different kind of thriller, but it still delivered for me as our main character spiraled out of control and went down a dangerous path on more than one occasion.

The Cons:

Really depressing at times.

I had to be in the right mindset to watch this one. There were a lot of depressing moments here. If you’re looking for a quick, bubble-gum pop thriller, that’s not this film. It makes you think a lot and it really takes a deep dive into some content that could make you uncomfortable (although I do think it was necessary for this film).

So am I in or out?

Night Always Comes is an engrossing watch from start to finish featuring an exceptional performance by Vanessa Kirby.

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 vacation island thriller!
