Episode 96 – Don’t Breathe 2



This unnecessary sequel makes a hero out of the villain of the original, gives him home field advantage, and thereby drains all suspense from the concept.

Episode 93 – Escape Room: Tournament of Champions



Do you have a friend who’s really bad at handling stress? Imagine cloning them six times, tossing them in a deadly box, and being forced to watch them scream at each other for 88 minutes.

Episode 92 – The Forever Purge



“Well, uh… the Purge is over, but it’s, like, forever now.”

Episode 90 – The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It



The Warrens’ third (fourth?) entry in the James Wan Expanded Universe in the weakest yet, completely lacking in scares and drowning in jargon.

Episode 89 – A Quiet Place Part II



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



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.

Episode 73 – Peninsula



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



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.

Episode 60 – The Babysitter: Killer Queen



The diminishing returns inherent to horror sequels are never more apparent than when you make a sequel to a horror comedy that’s a rock-solid… 5.5/10.

Episode 54 – The Gallows Act II



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.
