Halloween (1978)
This is a classic and I can see why it would scare people... in 1978. Today, I think we are desensitized to things like this. The best thing I saw was the undertaker sit up by Michael in the background.

Obsession
I think the acting by Inde Navarrette is the best thing about this movie. There are a couple scenes where her facial expressions and emotions flip on a dime, and she does it so well. It was incredible to watch. Her performance alone is worth the watch.
TV
Alien Earth
The monsters are very cool. I love how creepy they are and different. We've been looking at the Alien for years and haven't really gotten much new information about it, but now we are learning about the social aspect of it. It is a bit more than we used to know and at the same time

Lee Cronin's The Mummy
I am not sure what this movie was supposed to be. I don't think the story makes sense from beginning to end. I think the acting by the adult is terrible, and the scary elements fall more into the gross element rather than actually scary like The Substance. Let us start with some story elements
Books
Hell Bent
I love the world that Leigh Bardugo has built. The old world houses, the relics, and just the layering are really well done. I want to pay a bit more attention to the relics because there is a scene here that I had never thought about, but is important to bring up because I never thought about this

The Long Walk
I was interested in this movie from the trailers. Mainly for the review and conversation it could have. I am not a big Stephen King person, but I understand how good his work is. This movie is outstanding, and I am curious how people say that the book is even better.

28 Years Later
For a series that is based pure on the fear of zombies and jump scenes, this movie is not in line with that. The tension is the thing that is done so very well. You have the alphas that are incredibly smart and strong with a drive you don't get from the other zombies.

The Order (2003)
Part of it is the cast. You have the rest of the main three from A Knight's Tale which is one of my favorite movies. I firmly believe that because of their time on the movie, you can see the chemistry in their friendship and love in this movie.

Weapons
I am about 10 days removed from this movie and I couldn't tell you what stands out other than the section of the story with Benedict Wong. He is probably one of the better players in this movie. Him and Josh Brolin. I could take or leave everyone else, especially the clown/witch lady.

Sinners
To me, this movie to be more about the music and because of how it is presented. The music makes you want to listen to the blues and just feel the rhythm in your body as it plays out. To "Stomp yo feet". They way they show the magic and evolution of music is almost worth the watch by itself.

The Gorge
So lets start off by saying that this movie isn't deep. It's not going to win awards. It isn't John Wick. Honestly, it falls more into the Evil Dead and Army of Darkness type movie. Which means that there are some good scenes, but not a lot going on with it which is okay.

28 Weeks Later
Actually, I was thinking about that during this movie. We learned a lot during COVID, and maybe the game Virus Inc. about the infection rate vs. death rate of a virus. Since this is so quick to infect, but easy to treat and can kill the host, why doesn't it just burn itself out?
