Now that the creatures have proven to be mortal, some of the tension of the original film has dissipated. But A Quiet Place Part II still has a lot going for it.

Episode 87 – Spiral: From the Book of Saw

June 6, 2021New Release, Sequel, Theatrical ReleaseChris Rock, Cops, Darren Lynn Bousman, Jigsaw, Max Minghella, Samuel L Jackson, Torture Pornshockdoctors

With a villain whose voice wouldn’t scare a toddler, and burdened by a neverending parade of cop cliches, Spiral is as tedious as its full title.

With his latest film, Yeon Sang-ho has achieved a zombie hat trick, even by Matt’s stringent standards for the subgenre.

Episode 68 – The Craft: Legacy

January 26, 2021New Release, Remake, Sequel, VOD ReleaseCailee Spaeny, Cam, David Duchovny, Michelle Monaghan, Practical Magic, Soft Reboot, The Craft, The Neon Demon, The Witches of Eastwick, Witches, Zoe Lister-Jonesshockdoctors

While the film’s message of (trans-inclusive) female empowerment is certainly more enlightened than the “women can’t handle ultimate power” implications of the 1996 original, The Craft: Legacy also loses much of its predecessor’s trashy fun, and doesn’t replace it with much else.

The sequel nobody asked for to a movie nobody liked, The Gallows Act II also attempts to hitch its wagon to a viral fad long since faded into irrelevance.

March 29, 2020New Release, Sequel, Theatrical ReleaseA Cloud of Black Flies, Evil Child, Gecko Slurp, Haunted Doll, William Brent Bellshockdoctors

Another suspense-less entry in this misbegotten franchise is further undermined by a baffling decision to retcon away the only vaguely interesting thing the first film had going for it.
