The Long Walk is a simple, well-executed story. It oozes Stephen King’s trademark pop-horror tropes: normal people pitted against long odds, with grotesque consequences. Brutal, gritty, and showcasing some stellar performances by David Jonsson and Cooper Hoffman. #HorrorSky #StephenKing #Walking

This is 100% a fun popcorn thriller. If you are looking for a night of cat-and-mouse theater, this is an excellent pick. For fans of shark horror, this one's a cut above. It doesn’t rise to the raw terror of Open Water or the pinnacle of Jaws, but it should put a smile on your face. #HorrorSky
Dangerous Animals (2025): Review
Dangerous Animals puts a new twist on the serial killer trope, with a psychopath who films captive humans as shark bait for kicks.

If you're a fan of the Corman era Poe interpretations from the '60s, you'll be right at home here. This is not a period tale so it isn’t a costume drama, but it does strike the same tones. Read the short story. It will inform you of the background, without actually spoiling anything. #HPLFF2025

Once again loaded with first-rate jump scares and fantastic period piece production design. The ghost story this time out is a muddled mess, though, and some of the secondary characters feel forced. #Conjuring #HorrorSky
The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) Review
The Conjuring: Last Rites is a solid closeout of the franchise for Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga. (Probably) Great jump scares are offset by a confusing ghost backstory.
