Movie Review: Elves (2018)

A kid gets possessed by an elf, and gets his dunce of a brother to crawl into an oven where then proceeds to cook him. I say “What the fuck?!!”, and thus begins Elves…a sequel to a film I’ve never seen (The Elf for you keeping score at home)… Things kick into high gear once a group of friends open a chest-full of elf dolls at a holiday soiree. Each friend takes an elf with them and before long they get possessed by the effigies who make them suffer for their “naughtiness”…with predictably murderous results. Will anyone survive the arcane ordeal to see next Christmas? First things first, as mentioned up yonder, I had never laid my eerie eyeballs on The Elf, and fortunately Director Jamaal Burden has crafted a simple tale that’s easy to follow for neophytes to the franchise. What you get is a big ol’ slice of fruit cake as our troubled heroes take on the visage

Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina’s Season 2 Premiere Date Announced In New Teaser

Netflix’s “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” will cast a spell on fans during its second season whose premiere date has been revealed in a new teaser. The second season will feature nine episodes filled with devilish fun, frights, and delights. Now that Sabrina has signed her name in the Book of the Beast things are guaranteed to be darker and more disturbing. The new teaser kicks off with a nod to “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch” that ran from 1996 to 2003. You might remember Melissa Joan Hart’s character playing magical dress-up in her mirror. Of course, Kiernan Shipka‘s Sabrina has much better taste. It’s also teased that a romance may be sparked by Sabrina and Nicholas Scratch (Gavin Leatherwood). The teaser is jampacked with tidbits. Things are going to get interesting. If you bummed you’ve got to wait until the Spring to see a new episode, don’t be. There will be a holiday special premiering on December 14th. Hopefully, that will

The Sequel To ‘A Quiet Place’ Isn’t Exactly A Sequel According to John Krasinski

The follow up to John Krasinski‘s hit A Quiet Place is set to premiere in 2020. Krasinski has confirmed that he is currently writing on the script, but it isn’t a true sequel according to the man himself. During a recent conversation with Business Insider, Krasinski explains why he doesn’t quite consider “A Quiet Place 2” to be a sequel. I don’t even see it as a sequel,” Krasinski told the site. “Emily [Blunt] actually blew my mind by categorizing it the correct way after I pitched it to her. She said, ‘This isn’t a sequel at all — this is the second book in a series of books. It’s a widening of a world.’ And I thought that’s the best way to look at it. It doesn’t feel like a sequel — it’s a continuation of living in that world.” I can’t wait to get in there and keep writing and see what this movie wants to allow itself

Movie Review: Slay Belles (2018)

Alexi (Kristina Klebe) heads out with her ultra-bosomy gal pals Dahlia (Susan Slaughter) and Sadie (Hannah Wagner) to help them film the latest installment of their wicked web series Adventure Girls; a show dedicated to exploring abandoned structures…like the recesses of my mind where dignity and shame once did dwell. Out on the road they stop into a local watering hole where they learn kids have turned up slaughtered before heading on to their destination, a dilapidated Christmas based theme park named Santa Land. Once there they meet the kiddie-snatchin’ (and eating) culprit; none other than everyone’s favorite Xmas demon; Krampus…as well as Santa (Barry Bostwick) himself, though he is more of a brawlin’, boozin’ , biker-type rather than the jolly ol’ St. Nick we have become accustomed to. Now it’s up to our comely heroines and Santa to put an end to that Germanic terror’s reign of evil…fuck, we are all going to die, aren’t we? As you may
