Spoiler-Free Review of “The Devil’s Mouth” on Prime: Kathryn Newton Can’t Save this Silly Shark Movie…

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

“I promise it’s gonna be worth the wait…”

The Devil’s Mouth released on Prime Video on July 29th 2026. The survival horror film stars Kathryn Newton, Lana Condor, Tommi Rose, Nico Hiraga, and Gavin Casalegno. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-five minutes.

A group of friends vacationing in Thailand sign up for a guided swim tour in a remote cave system, but soon find themselves trapped with a shark as they try to find a way out.

Here is the trailer:

The Devil’s Mouth has a solid lead, but a flat plot and laughable effects. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Kathryn Newton gives it her all…

She was the BEST part of this film and really did elevate it as much as she could. I was rooting for her character. She’s becoming a queen in the horror genre, but she deserved a much better movie.

There was some pretty scenery to look at as well, but the pros stop here…

The Cons:

Way too long with laughable effects.

I like my shark movies at around an hour and twenty-five minutes. Things dragged out way too long in this one. We didn’t need this much set-up to understand the friend dynamic. Once we got to the shark action, it was so ridiculous and cheesy. There was no real suspense here at all. In a lot of ways this film reminded me of rip-off of 47 Meters Down: Uncaged (which was a masterpiece in comparison).

This film lacked originality and the shark action was beyond disappointing.

Worst friend ever!

OMG…she was HORRIBLE! This group of friends made some of the worst decisions ever, but Max was so awful. I would have left her so many times. It’s safe to say that I was cheering for the shark the entire time. Seriously, every time she did something it infuriated me!

So am I in or out?

Unfortunately I’m out on this one…

(2 out of 5 stars)

The Devil’s Mouth lacks originality and suspense, making this a tame and frustrating watch overall.

Sorry Kathryn!

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 “Boo, Bitch” on Netflix: Supernatural “Mean Girls”

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

“I’m dead…ish!”

Boo, Bitch released on July 8th 2022 on Netflix with eight episodes available to stream now. The comedy series stars Lana Condor, Zoe Margaret Colletti, Mason Versaw, and Tenzing Norgay Trainor. Each episode runs for approximately 24-26 minutes.

Two best friends attempt to make their senior year a memorable one, but things don’t go according to plan when one of them winds up being a ghost.

Here is the trailer:

Boo, Bitch is very much Booksmart meets Mean Girls with a supernatural edge, but does it do enough to find its own identity separate from these films? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Spooky fun concept.

I really loved the premise of this show. Supernatural comedies are popping up left and right and they are all bringing something unique to the table. Even though this series is about ghosts, it was also about growing up and finding your place in life and I think the series made a valiant attempt to explore all of these themes.

Highlights a genuine friendship.

The best part of the series was this friendship and I appreciated that it felt real. It elevated the show in a lot of ways. I thought both of these characters were fun on their own, but the friendship between them was what made them more interesting and it kept me emotionally invested.

The Cons

Not that original…

This series really borrowed a lot from Mean Girls and Booksmart, but I’m not sure that it ever really found its identity separate from these films, although it did try with its twist reveal.

A lot of the humor didn’t land and the dialogue was really painful at times. I’m not sure that teens actually talk this way and it felt forced and awkward.

So am I in or out?

I’m in about 75 percent…

I loved the premise of this show and the friendship between Erika and Gia was worth sticking around for, but I’ve seen this type of show before and I’m not sure that it ever found its real identity.

That being said, it’s still a quick binge-watch if you’re looking for a new supernatural comedy to watch.

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