Unseen movie review 2023
In Yoko Okumura's latest film, "Unseen," viewers are introduced to Emily (played by Midori Francis), a Japanese-American woman who is kidnapped and held captive. Her only hope of escape lies with a stranger named Sam (Jolene Purdy) who helps her navigate her way out using mobile video calling. Despite the committed performances of Francis and Purdy, the contrast between their characters and the campy, deranged supporting characters of Carol (Missi Pyle) and Charlie (Michael Patrick Lane) is outrageous. The plot revolves around white American stalkers whose identities center around entitlement and a desire to kill Emily and Sam.

"nanpakal nerathu mayakam" Tamil movie review
The Indian drama “Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam” is a poetic and dreamlike exploration of identity crisis, love, and ghosts. Directed and written by Lijo Jose Pellissery, the film’s English language title “Like an Afternoon Dream” is a beautiful and fitting replacement for the more literal translation of the original Malayalam title, “A Mid-Day Slumber.” The film stars and is produced by Mammootty, who plays the Malayalam-speaking James, a man who finds himself in a Tamil Nadu village speaking Tamil and acting like he’s lived there for years.

Smile movie review 2022 old released best horror movie
When future horror historians write about the 2010s, they'll likely associate the decade with trauma metaphors, much as the '80s are synonymous with slasher flicks. Paramount's latest wide-release horror movie, "Smile," which hits theaters on the cusp of a new decade, is no exception. The film follows Dr. Rose Cotter (Sosie Bacon), who is plagued by a demon or evil spirit that feeds on trauma and is spread by it. The creature specifically preys on those who have witnessed someone else's gruesome and bloody suicide, like Laura (Caitlin Stasey), a PhD student who Rose meets in the psychiatric emergency ward where she works. Laura explains that the entity has been following her ever since she saw her professor bludgeon himself to death with a hammer. At the end of the scene, Laura turns to Rose with a psychotic grin and slits her own throat.

The magic flute movie review 2023
From the time of its premiere in 1791, Mozart's final opera, The Magic Flute, has been captivating audiences with its enchanting music, testing the abilities of coloratura singers with its notoriously challenging arias, and bewildering those who try to make sense of its complex plot. It has also inspired conspiracy theories due to its numerous arcane Masonic symbols. The opera has been adapted in different languages and styles, including a Swedish version directed by Ingmar Bergman in 1975 and a World War I-era English version directed by Kenneth Branagh in 2006.

65 movie review 2023
The highly anticipated sci-fi movie “65” promised an adrenaline-fueled action flick with Adam Driver taking on dinosaurs, but unfortunately, the movie falls short of expectations. Despite a reported budget of $91 million and even featuring in a Super Bowl ad, the film fails to impress due to its lack of depth and character development.

Unwelcome movie review 2023
Fairies, known for their small size, are not always friendly creatures, as opposed to their depiction in popular culture. In the horror movie "Unwelcome," director Jon Wright portrays fairies as demanding, mischievous, and bossy, debunking the myth of their harmless nature. The film combines horror, comedy, and sci-fi aliens, creating an unsettling mashup. The main characters, Maya and Jamie, are a couple from London who move to a remote town in Northern Ireland to start a new life after a traumatic experience. Despite the warnings of the locals, they ignore red flags and refuse to take the legend of the redcap fairies seriously, which leads to dire consequences.

Scream 6 movie review 2023
Scream 6, the latest installment of the iconic horror franchise, has been praised for its ability to seamlessly integrate easter eggs and references to previous horror films into the plot. In one scene, the film's heroes board a subway train filled with costumed partygoers, including characters from classic horror films such as Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Michael Myers. Despite the extraneous references, the scene remains tense and exciting, thanks to the excellent construction and direction of the film.

Blueback movie review 2023
When marine biologist Abby receives news of her mother Dora's stroke, she rushes back to her seaside hometown to care for her. Memories of her childhood spent living in harmony with the ocean come flooding back, including her mother's battles to protect the bay from greedy developers and invasive fishermen, even if it sometimes caused friction in their relationship. Abby befriends a rare fish, Blueback, in the coral gardens, who becomes a symbol of her environmentalism and a reminder of her love for her mother and the vulnerable waters they call home. Based on Tim Winton's 1997 novella, Blueback is a poignant and visually stunning film about the passion for the ocean and the bond between mother and daughter. The film stars Mia Wasikowska, Radha Mitchell, and Eric Bana and is produced and directed by Robert Connolly, with a release date of March 3, 2023, in limited theaters

Children of the corn movie review 2023
The highly anticipated release of the new "Children of the Corn" movie is fast approaching, almost 40 years after the original film was released. Both movies are based on Stephen King's short story and are technically polished, but the latest iteration is conceptually thin and superficially upsetting. Despite the movie's flaws, it still manages to deliver enough formulaic violence to satisfy genre movie fans.

The witch part 2 movie
If you’re looking for a Korean superhero-horror movie that’s packed with action and plenty of twists and turns, “The Witch: Part 2. The Other One” is definitely worth a watch. You don't necessarily have to see the first installment, as the sequel stands on its own, but it does help to have some context for the story.
