Welcome to Blumhouse Review Part 3 of 4: Nocturne

Welcome to part three of my "Welcome to Blumhouse" reviews! In case you're unaware, "Welcome to Blumhouse" is a collection of four unrelated films available to watch on Prime Video with an Amazon Prime subscription. I've already covered Black Box and The Lie in previous posts, and today I'll take a look at Zu Quirke's 2020 film titled Nocturne. Also, …

When it comes to viewing adaptations of King's work, I try to maintain a healthy skepticism going into the film. While there have been many successes (Stand by Me, The Shining, Misery), there …

Review: Sinister (2012)

So I watched Sinister on Netflix the other night, and I've had some thoughts gestating about it for a few days now. It's maybe the best-mixed bag of a horror film I've ever seen, with some genuinely high highs and some hilariously low lows.
