Silent Night, Deadly Night 3: Better Watch Out (1989)


 After  how bad Silent Night, Deadly Night part 2 was. I was initially hesitant to continue with the other 3 movies considering how I've heard that aren't as good as the original film. The original film is considered to be a classic, but they are in a no way as controversial as the original film. The plot of Silent Night, Deadly Night is a guy who snaps after witnessing a traumatic event when he was a kid involving Santa Claus. Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 is nothing more then flashback footage padded with 10 minutes of newly shot footage which doesn't make a lick of sense to me. Silent Night, Deadly Night 3 however is just as bad as part 2. The plot makes no sense, script is terrible, acting with the exception of  Bill Moseley is terrible and pacing is even more terrible. I think I was smart back then to just watch the first movie and 2012 remake and avoid the sequels entirely. I don't think I'll continue with the other two and will check out the 2025 remake.

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)

Image
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
