Movie Review: Texas Chainsaw Massacre

What's up with young people trying to gentrify old ghost towns? Almost every horror movie, aside from a few, have young people wandering to the wrong places—unlike Scream where the horror comes to meet you at home. Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the latest in the horror movie slasher and it didn't fail to check every horror formula. Movie plot It's 50 years since the last massacre and it looks like the town is back to normal, that is, until a group of friends decide to turn the town into a hippie spot with book shops, art shops, restaurants, etc. They embark on a trip to Harlow and when they wrongfully evict an occupant from an orphanage home, things take a turn for the worst. Spoilers ahead So, where do we begin? Let me start with a general caution. Before you evict someone from their home, be absolutely sure you're on the right. Dante was feeling all high and mighty like he was really trying to achieve something spectacular, but turns out the weir

Movie Review: A Madea Homecoming

Madea is back! Hallelujer! After the Madea Family Funeral we thought we had seen the last of this iconic screen character, but 2022 has given us a reason to laugh out loud. Movie Plot Madea's Homecoming surrounds the family getting together for Madea's great grandson's graduation ceremony. As expected when the Madea clan comes together, secrets are revealed and chaos the order of the day. Spoilers ahead First off, Madea is a great grandmother. Not grand. Great grand. That's three generations alive in the clan. How old exactly is Madea? Did she take some vampire blood?  Back to serious issues? What type of best friend helps her best friend divorce her husband and then fall in love with the best friend's husband to the extent of wanting to get married to him. That's wrong on so many levels. Especially if you include the fact that she was the attorney in charge of the divorce and the douche bag got everything from the divorce. Babe! She freaking broke e

Movie Review: Love Hard

Love is hard! I don't know why I've been sleeping on this movie. Oh, wait. I do know. It came out around the same time as a gazillion romantic movies did and I was not having it. Well, I decided to see it now and it was surprisingly good.  Movie plot Nat is a young attractive lady who's in search of love. She's been matched so many times on a dating app, but has always drawn the short straw. When she finally gets the match of her life, she flies to surprise him for Christmas and gets the surprise of her life. Spoilers ahead Okay. This movie had the ingredients of typical romantic cliches to the T. Every element was present and then some.  Formula Boy and girl meet. Girl doesn't like the boy because he lied. Girl falls for someone else and realizes the boy is the one. By then the boy is hurt and the girl didn't realize how much he loved her. Girl comes back with a grand romantic apology. Movie ends. Question, though. Do people really travel halfway ac

Movie Review: All of Us Are Dead

Phew! I don't know where to begin. I really don't. What a rollercoaster. Honestly, I'm not a fan of Korean movies. What I mean is that I don't go online specifically looking for anything Korean to watch, but you see this one? I had to. Hmmm. It happened to me the way Squid game happened to me and I must commend the directors and all the cast. Those kids were amazing. Enough gist. Lets dive right into the matter. Movie Plot While trying to make his son courageous against bullies, a science teacher accidentally creates the Jonas Virus. A zombie virus that kills the host and takes over the human senses (regular zombie stuff). The virus starts with his son and wife, which he's able to contain, but when a student gets bitten by an infected rat, pandemonium breaks out in school as students of Hyosan turn on each other. Massive spoilers ahead. And I mean massive ones! I took out time this weekend to watch this because I love horror with all my heart. Plus, if y
