V/H/S Beyond (2024)

 


After the disappointment of the last two movies in the series, V/H/S Beyond is a step up from the previous two. The stories in this film are fun, weird & gory but one of them wasn't that great. 

Story 1 - Stork: A swat team invades a building looking for the abduction of missing babies come across zombies & a stork monster. This one was weird and gory that I couldn't help but chuckle at the stork.

Story 2 - Dream Girl: Paparazzi in India go after the latest Bollywood sensation only for it to result in a gory finale. A little slow, but not bad.

Story 3 - Live & Let Dive: A group of people celebrating a birthday go skydiving only after they fall from the plane come across a UFO. I think this story was one of my favorites and like the first one, was gory.

Story 4 - Fur Babies - Animal rights activists investigate the home of a doggy daycare and what they find isn't what it seems. Right off the bat, the story was weird as hell which petered out towards the end. It reminded me of the Kevin Smith film "Tusk" which  starred Justin Long and coincidentally directed this segment. 

Story 5 - Stoaway - A woman documenting her UFO findings in the Mojave desert comes across a UFO and is abducted. This one didn't impress me all that much. Slow & not much is revealed.

Overall, V/H/S Beyond is better than the other two films. I think if they decide to make more that they need to  keep up with improving the writing.

Demon City (2025)

When one thinks of a title like Demon City. You're thinking to yourself, a Japanese horror flick?? No, it's an action flick. I was a little misled by the title, thinking it was a horror film because the dialogue in the film keeps referencing the word "demons" but as I continued to watch Demon City, I realized that it was a straight up action flick. I would say it's more of a Japanese knock-off of the John Wick franchise but more violent. The story has been done many times before. I guess people are used to cookie cutter plots. Don't get me wrong, I love action movies and I love Chinese, Japanese action flicks but sometimes they can be a little repetitive. Demon City is decent, but it's all been done before. 3/5

Clown in a Cornfield (2025)

Image
Every once in awhile, there's always a killer clown film that ends up being good, It, Clown... There's a few more but they escape me at the moment. Unfortunately, Clown in a Cornfield isn't a good film. Despite some cool kills and a interesting premise, there are two things that stood out to me when watching the film. The pacing was sluggish which tuned me out at times which is a shame because I really wanted to like Clown in a Cornfield. The script needed work which results in it's clunky pacing and if there's one thing I despise it's social media influencers. Every horror film I've seen has characters that are addicted to social media and all I want to say is a get a job. I can't stand them at all. But I'm trailing off here. Apparently, this is based on a book series and they are coming out with book 4. If they really want to do another film, I suggest writing a strong script to maintain the pacing or *shudder, a soft reboot of the film. I can'...

Alien Rubicon (2024)

Alien Rubicon has no affiliation with the Alien film series. It was made by one of my favorite studios, The Asylum who specialize in making knock-off movies of big budget Hollywood films. Most of the time they're better than the Hollywood film they're making fun of and Alien Rubicon is no exception. With it's bad CGI effects, bad acting, Alien Rubicon is a fun bad movie that tries to not be serious but you can't help but laugh at how bad it is. I grew up watching movies like these to laugh at and make fun of and now as I get older, I begin to appreciate bad movies more. 1/5
