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

“This is a safe space…”

An ex-con accepts a job as a housekeeper in a lavish NYC building, but soon discovers that the people residing there are trying to sacrifice her to their satanic cult.

Here is the trailer:

They Will Kill You delivers with fantastic fight scenes and a few welcomed twists to keep you entertained. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Sylish, well-choreographed fight scenes.

If you like films like, The Raid, Boy Kills World, and Bullet Train, then this is right up your alley. The fight scenes were fantastic and there were plenty of gruesome and bloody moments. The humor also worked well so that the material didn’t become too stale by the end.

Zazie Beetz is fantastic!!!

She dominated this film in the best way possible. This was clearly such a physical and powerful role and I thought she was believable and definitely one to root for. She was bad-ass and then some! Wow!

The other characters were fun to watch as well. I always love seeing Heather Graham show up in horror films.

The Cons:

No real plot…

Look, I knew this film was going to be about action and it delivered in that aspect. However, the majority of the film is filled with very loud music accompanied with fight scenes so if you’re expecting a well-layered plot, you won’t get that here.

There was a story-line at the back end of everything, but it wasn’t fleshed out enough. I still cared enough about the characters, but I could tell that wasn’t the goal of this movie.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!

They Will Kill You is mindless fun with a strong female lead to root for against all odds.

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 “Death and Other Details” on Hulu: “Knives Out” Inspired Whodunnit has some Potential

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

“If you want to solve a crime….you must first learn to see through the illusion…”

Death and Other Details released on Hulu on January 16th 2024 with the first two episodes available now. There will be ten episodes in total that will air weekly. The murder mystery series stars Mandy Patinkin, Violett Beane, Angela Zhou, Pardis Saremi, and Lauren Patten. Each episode runs for approximately 44-52 minutes.

Imogene finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time on a cruise, forcing her to team up with a detective named Rufus Cotesworth to prove her innocence and solve the case.

Here is the trailer:

Death and Other Details borrows a lot from films like Death on the Nile and Knives Out, trying out the whodunnit genre on the small screen, but does it have enough originality to keep its audience coming back for more? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Aesthetically pleasing.

This is a very stylish show already with gorgeous scenery, fantastic fashion, and a color scheme that really pops, transporting the audience into a breathtaking watercolor painting for the backdrop of this particular murder mystery. 

I’ve already fallen in love with several of Violett Beane’s outfits and want to look through her closet because it’s absolutely fabulous!

Two dynamic leads.

The best part about the series so far is the partnership between Beane and Patinkin’s characters. I think they make a great duo and I’m curious to see them piece this all together. I’m hoping that the series will keep me guessing and provide its audience with a satisfying reveal, but we’ll have to see how things progress.

The Cons:

Sometimes less is more…

My main concern with this series is that it may be taking on too much for a ten part series. It’s going to be somewhat of a chore to remember to tune in each week and also remember what happened in the previous episode so that I can stay involved in the mystery. I’m slightly worried that the pacing will suffer as a result of this.

This is also a series I have seen a million times before and I’m not sure that it’s doing anything that new or modern, but I love a good murder mystery so we’ll have to see how this unfolds.

So am I in or out?

I’m in about 75 percent…

I love a good murder mystery and this one has lots of potential so far, but I’m hoping it can break away from similar films within the whodunnit genre.

Either way, I’ll be sticking around for a while to find out!
