Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025)


Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a fun follow up to the original film. I briefly played the first game back when it came out unaware of the hype surrounding it. As I've mentioned in my commentary for the original film, Five Nights at Freddy's is more of a starter guide for kids getting into horror movies as you'll notice when watching Five Nights at Freddy's that a lot of the kills are done off screen and there's very little blood. Yet, the sequel is slightly more darker but it still retains the off screen kills & less is blood which is okay as you don't want to traumatize people getting into horror right off the bat. But I'm sure there are people out there who are starting off will go watch an extreme horror film as their first like Terrifier. Me, my first horror film was The Return of the Living Dead and I came out okay. Anyways, I'm trailing off topic here. Everything about Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is good. Script is good, Pacing's not bad, and as usual acting is what you would expect in a film like this. You might be thinking that my positivity on this film will change my opinion on sequels. No, it won't. I still have the less is more attitude. But I'll admit there are times where I can just turn my brain off and watch a sequel to whatever and have fun with it while still holding on to that mentality.

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'...

Bone Face (2025)

As I was watching Bone Face, I had to chuckle at the first 11 minutes of the movie because one of the camp counselors is talking about story of Bone Face and one of the counselors makes reference to Jason Voorhees. You know, I really want another Friday the 13th movie. Before I trail off, I have to say that Bone Face was surprisingly good and I was very taken aback by it because lately a lot of horror movies that have been released have been disappointing but for some reason, this one held my interest. I guess it's because I like whodunit films and people trapped in an area trying to survive the night from whatever's out there. The acting leaves a little to be desired especially from Jeremy London who overacted his part of the sheriff Having been disappointed by  what the horror community has been releasing to streaming the last couple of months, Bone Face is a breath of fresh air and possibly a sign that good horror is coming. 3/5
