Episode 208 – The Conjuring: Last Rites

Cursed Object Movie, Exorcism, Haunted House, New Release, Period Piece, Possession, Sequel, The Conjuring Universe, Theatrical Release, , , , , , , , , , ,

Not as much of a trainwreck as The Devil Made Me Do It, the final(?) installment in The Conjuring series still suffers from the same storytelling pitfalls and overall churchiness as the rest. The first remains really the only one worth watching.

Episode 195 – Presence (2025)

Haunted House, New Release, Theatrical Release, , , , , , ,

Less a true-blue horror movie and more of a supernatural drama, Presence nonetheless packs a wallop and demonstrates the deft touch of both director Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter David Koepp.

There wasn’t enough meat on these bones to turn this short into a viable feature, and yet Bryce McGuire left some behind in favor of a grab-bag of tired and disconnected horror tropes.

The video game series doesn’t hold a special place in either of our hearts, but the film adaptation is not the wholesale disaster social media makes it out to be.

Samuel Bodin’s dramatically under-promoted film features a few good scares and some deft camerawork, but the parents were written without depth and the film is sometimes paced too much like a trailer.

James Wan’s second franchise ends with a whimper. It’s not a trainwreck, but it’s also just not that good.

Skinamarink is not a perfect film, but it’s so weird and singular that we might not change a thing about it.

Episode 97 – The Night House

Haunted House, New Release, Theatrical Release, , , , , ,

David Bruckner’s latest film benefits from a typically strong Rebecca Hall performance, a minimum of spookhouse nonsense, and an oppressive atmosphere – even if the closing line is a bit of a dud.
