Overall, “The Old Ways” is an enjoyable foray into the land of demon possession and an intriguing look into another culture and the ways one can lose that culture. cinemaschminema.substack.com/p/the-old-wa...

I dunno, I think this one could have been amazing with an all-female cast, but I suppose if the coroner had been a mother and daughter team working on Jane Doe, this would have been a shorter and different film entirely. cinemaschminema.substack.com/p/the-autops...

While a bit bloodier than “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” "Willy's Wonderland" is also incredibly dumb. There is no plot other than "Nic Cage murdering animatronics." And yet...sometimes, that's really all you need in life.

"House of Spoils" is a story of working against all odds to get what you want and one of rebirth and empowerment; the story just happens to involve a possible ghost witch and a mysterious garden as a framework for these things.

What exactly is “The Wolf of Snow Hollow” about, and why is every character in it just the absolute worst?

Why is anyone watching this film except to see the hot kid brutally murdering his enemies in increasingly gory and creative ways?
