Grizzly Night (2026)

Image
When watching Grizzly Night, I questioned whether or not the story was actually true. With it being set in 1967, it begs the question, what about this movie has a 60's background? There are no hippies fighting against the establishment, and the college kids looked little too clean cut for me. Other then the reference to the Vietnam war, Grizzly Night doesn't work for me as a period piece and it certainly doesn't work as animal attack flick as I found myself bored most of the time. The script isn't the greatest. Again, with it being a true story, I questioned certain things. Acting is boring, nobody turned in a good performance and that's the result of this script. The pacing is very slow. I kept tuning out having no hope that the movie would be better. All in all, Grizzly Night is no Day of the Animals.  I'm Jeff Roman 1/5

Dead Man's Wire (2026)

Every once in awhile, I enjoy a film based on a true story and Dead Man's Wire certainly fit that bill. I never heard of the real story behind this movie but I did do a little research before watching this movie and found that Bill Skarsgard & Dacre Montgomery did not resemble the real characters. I always find it funny when Hollywood does a true story or a biopic and they somehow screw up the casting process. Despite that, the acting performances especially from Bill is pretty good. You start to wonder if he's telling the truth or he's gone crazy. It's always nice to see Al Pacino pop up in a film where he isn't the star. The script is pretty decent and pacing wise, not bad. If you're in the mood for a true story or to see Skarsgard act in something other then Pennywise. Check this out. I'm Jeff Roman. 3/5

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is a step up from the first 28 Years Later in terms of horror with a slight twist. I mentioned in my commentary for the first movie that it deviated away from the creatures and focused more on the drama aspect. Which I didn't mind, but what it did in the process was kill any horror that could be found. Here in The Bone Temple, the film ups the horror but shies away from the creatures more and focuses more on the villain. There's some creature horror spliced in here and there but it's limited. In terms of The Bone Temple's script, it's not bad, but  I feel it shouldn't be considered a part of 28 Days Later as it doesn't stand out as a horror flick in that regard. Acting is pretty strong for the most part from everyone. The pacing was pretty fast. Despite the film tanking at the box office and it ending on a cliffhanger which I won't spoil, they need to wrap this up properly and not make anymore movies in this series. I thin...
