There's Something Wrong with the Children (2023) By Jess T

Psychological drama horror. Good film. Amazed at some of the negative reviews on the kids. They were frightening and scary. They were mostly in the background and used as pons to move storyline along, even though the title suggests differently. We don’t see any murderous acts or malevolent behavior. The dialogue (uh….which they did not write) has them come off as annoying, much younger than they appear, children, hence the premise of the movie and debate to have kids or not. Either use creepy younger kids to pull this off or use these kids and show some damage. They didn’t direct themselves people. 


If you watch closely, the gaze of Lucy’s eyes how she can switch back and forth you can see how much potential this kid has to “go there” but filmmakers held back and were not sure what to do with the them. They were just placed here and there, no real character development so you don’t care either way what happens to them. But the movie still was entertaining and a good time with several scary moments and creepy kids. The adults do an amazing job. 

This had so much potential and would have loved to see it go where it needed to go. Way to many questions unanswered, but music was great and this flick is definitely worth watching!

BROTHERS - SHORT FILM (2023)

First full disclosure this isn't your typical horror movie. I chose to write about this project for a couple of reasons. I'm a former combat medic and a retired civilian paramedic because of that this film has a spieal place in my heart. Now back to your regularly scheduled review. Brothers comes to us from the fine website Indiegogo. It has a bunch of very affordable perks that most will be able to pick up. The Indiegogo Campaign Logline: When a former combat medic meets the hostile brother of his fallen comrade, they realize the survivor's guilt they share is more profound than any differences that divide them. "I Watched Friends Die in Afghanistan. The Guilt Has Nearly Killed Me." This is the title of an article in The New York Times that inspired the genesis of BROTHERS. The psychological condition of survivor's guilt has always been a source of intrigue to us and in our pursuit to further understand this complex and often overlooked condition, we felt com

M3GAN (2023)

M3GAN went viral MONTHS before her film was even released, thanks to a widely imitated dance sequence curated for TikTok fame and her instant emergence as the next possible face of horror paved the way for record breaking box office success! As soon as the first trailer dropped, it was already clear that M3GAN was destined to become an internet sensation, quickly spawning dozens of tweets, memes and completely dominating TikTok… With a shocking Rotten Tomatoes score of 93%, M3GAN already has a higher RT score than pretty much any best picture contender for the Oscars 2023! What is going on?! Originally shot as a rated R, but that was until the producers noticed that while editing it was already close enough to PG-13, realising that they had made a mistake and wanting to appeal to teenagers and a more mainstream audience, they then re-shot certain scenes to tone down the violence. With piercing blue eyes and a syrupy sweet voice, M3GAN is a new iconic villain for a whole new generati
