Mostly Spoiler Free Review: The Exorcist: Believer
One of the most buzzed-about horror films of the year, The Exorcist: Believer, is now streaming on Peacock. I’ve been eagerly waiting to see it for myself. Now I have. The movie has been getting mixed reviews. But is it bad or good? Let’s talk about it. First, I will state the obvious: ANY film/sequel compared to the original Exorcist will always fall short. That’s just a fact. In my opinion, William Friedkin’s 1973 classic is the best horror film ever made. It’s perfect, and that is incredibly rare. The Exorcist 3 may be an exception to that, though. It’s brilliant. But those aren’t the movies we’re here to talk about. So, what is The Exorcist: Believer about? In the film, “Since his wife’s death, Victor (Leslie Odom Jr.) has raised his daughter Angela (Lidya Jewett) alone. After Angela and her friend (Olivia O’Neill) return from a three-day disappearance with missing memories, they begin displaying frightening behavior. Victor’s best hope

Movie Review: Vampires and Other Stereotypes (1994) – Visual Vengeance Blu-ray
In The Big Apple, fortune teller fucker par excellence Ivan (Bill White) and his stoic partner Harry (Ed Hubbard) spend their nights patrolling the mean streets in order to rid the world of various supernatural menaces. While in the middle of one such operation, three ladies and a leather-clad lothario inadvertently make the scene and accidentally open a portal to hell which unleashes a creepy cadre of creatures and plunges the surroundings into an alternate dimension. Before long the body count begins to rise as the creatures become absolutely hellbent (literally) on keeping Ivan, Harry, et. al trapped within those wicked walls until sunrise so that their residence becomes permanent! The first thing you may notice about writer/director Kevin J. Lindenmuth (the Alien Agenda series.. and making his debut here) is that for a shot on video production (though the camcorders utilized were of the pricey-as-fuck variety) it makes really good use of it’s budget. Set in one central warehouse
