Friday the 13th Movies Ranked Worst to Best, according to AI. AI-Generated.
Today is Friday the 13th, the weekend is coming and it is the ideal time to watch the complete Friday the 13th movies saga. This franchise is one of the most important in the horror genre because it reminds us of the American superstition that Friday the 13th is a cursed date.

Summer Camp
We talked a lit bit last year about how older women get treated in the industry. They really don’t have that many acting opportunities and when they get them the roles are regulated to grandmothers and witches. So when 80 for Brady and Book Club came out it was a win for both the industry and for women but those films are still few and far between. This year the only one we really got was Summer Camp starring Diane Keaton, Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard. Keaton also helped produce the film.

Immaculate
Sydney Sweeney is Hollywood's latest bombshell. She gained popularity due to the show Euphoria and the unfortunate side effect of that is she has now been unable to break herself from what I like to call the Marilyn Monroe effect. She is a gorgeous blonde that people immediately dismiss the intelligence and talent of. Last year she starred in Anyone But You, which I loved and think she did a great job in. And this year she took the leap and did something entirely different, Immaculate. Horror is a newer genre for her but I think she is built to be a scream queen, so let’s see.

Maeri Web Series Review: It Feels Like a TV Serial
Friends, the contribution of ZEE5 in the world of Indian OTT has not been that special. I mean that there has not been that much good content on this platform and the quality of the content was also quite low but somewhere in between ZEE5 upped its level and brought out some good shows, after that there was a hope that ZEE5 would make a splash. Now recently a new show of ZEE5 has come, Maeri, about which not many people would know. I also saw it randomly and then thought, "Let's review it." Now let's find out what kind of show it is. So in Maeri, you get to see the story of a mother and her revenge that her daughter has been gang-raped and now she has to take revenge, whether she can take revenge or not, to know this you will have to watch this show which is available on ZEE5, it has seven episodes, the length varies around 25 to 30 minutes. Now, if I describe the review of the Maeri Web Series for you in a few words, then it is masterpiece shit. The story here is of a Mom movie, starring Sridevi, well no problem that the story here is taken from some other movie but it at least shows the intensity that was in the original movie, even in a Web Series there is a good scope to expand and develop other things but there was nothing like that here, there was nothing, a novel factor that the story content is good but other than that whatever things are there or should I say the execution, all of them are poor. First of all, this doesn't seem like a web series at all. From any angle, it feels like we are watching a TV serial on the OTT platform. I mean, the production value seems so low that don't even ask.

IF
IF came out earlier this year and it really seemed like it was just a grown up version of Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. John Krasinski is both in it and he directed it. I think that he has a decent enough range but having Ryan Reynolds in the movie hurts it I think. Krasinski, Reynolds and Zachary Levi all have the same energy to me, they are relatively mediocre at exactly one thing and that is all they are capable of doing. I wouldn’t consider any of them serious actors, yet somehow they keep getting hired. No one had high hopes for this movie, but it came out this year which means I have to watch it so here we go.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
In a world where studio executives seem to think that every goddamn film needs to be built into a franchise, audiences have had to endure some truly terrible sequels and prequels. We’ve seen this with tv shows, newer films but more recently popular movies from the 80s. Yes we are here complaining about Ghostbusters. Or rather the newest Ghostbusters movie. Now that is one film that should have been left as a one and done. Even with the original cast the first prequel was terrible. Then we had that placating gender bent version which did nothing but piss me off. And now we have yet another sequel, and I am pretty sure I’m missing one that was made in between those last two. Ghostbusters Frozen Empire was disappointing, unnecessary and an entire waste of time.

The new movie of the Evil Dead saga is confirmed and will be titled Evil Dead Burn
Fans of the Evil Dead saga, the deadites, have every reason to celebrate. The classic franchise of the horror genre will create a new movie and it will be called Evil Dead Burn. This story will be directed by Sébastien Vanicek, a talented and transgressive French artist. This movie will be produced by the prestigious filmmaker Sam Raimi, an icon in the horror genre. The company creating the film, Ghost House Pictures, has given Vanicek and Raimi total creative freedom to do what they feel is best for a well-crafted story. The ultimate goal of these artists is for audiences to experience fabulously frightening sensations and enjoy high quality horror.

Fly Me To The Moon
Fly Me To The Moon is a film about the space race, or at least it uses that point in history as a backdrop. An all star cast including Woody Harrelson, Scarlet Johansson and Channing Tatum carry the story of the first moonwalk. Channing Tatum is really known for goofy roles. He has great comedic timing but he really hasn’t been awesome at roles that require anything more from him. That said, seeing him in Deadpool and Wolverine as Gambit really changed my viewpoint on him as an actor. So I can’t wait to see what he does with this movie.

Stress Positions
Neon has been on fire this year, they have cranked out so many films this year and they are all worth the watch. Among them is the film Stress Positions. This is one of their smaller films this year, I am not sure how widely it was marketed. I know that I didn’t see that much about it, but that can be a sign of a brilliant film, so let’s see if this one will be worth some awards conversations.
