Twilight (2008) - Film Review
In 2008, I had just moved to a new town and new school and was, what some would say, a bookish teenager. Yet for reasons unknown, I had not heard of the vampire cult classic that was sweeping bookshelves for the upcoming film adaptation starring Robert Pattinson (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and Kristen Stewart (Speak). I saw the trailers and was intrigued by the premise enough to try and find the book at my local library, as I had missed the theatrical release. They didn't have it but offered to put its sequel New Moon on hold for me.

Mystery Bus
It was a typical day for the residents of a small town, with the sun shining bright and the birds chirping in the trees. However, the peace and tranquility of the day were soon disrupted by the sudden arrival of a strange bus in the town. The bus was old and battered, with no visible markings or signs of its origin or destination. It had pulled up at the town square and was parked there with no driver or passengers in sight.

Horrors to Watch
Hellbender Over the course of their eight-year filmmaking journey, the Adams family have continually refined their artistic and narrative sensibilities. With Hellbender, their sixth feature, confidence and creativity coalesce to create something that feels like a magical breakthrough. Following their 2020 supernatural thriller The Deeper You Dig, it appears the Adams have developed a penchant for horror - a perfect accompaniment to their signature low-budget, homegrown style. Although Hellbender incorporates many of the recurring motifs present in the Adams family’s work - such as dysfunctional family dynamics and references to John Adams’ former career as a punk musician - it is undoubtedly the most fully-realized project the family has undertaken to date. 16-year-old Izzy (Zelda Adams, the youngest daughter and co-director alongside John Adams and Toby Poser) has been warned from a young age by her mother (Poser) that the outside world will bring her nothing but harm due to her rare autoimmune disease. Izzy spends her days isolated and alone, with only the majestic landscape surrounding her mother's secluded mountain home providing her with any solace. Despite being forbidden to leave the property, Izzy and her mother have a strong bond, often engaging in playful affection and taking hikes through the lush forest on rainy days. Together, they form a punk rock band, Hellbender, donning outrageous makeup and playing tight, catchy songs for their own enjoyment. Every aspect of Hellbender is crafted by a small team of creatives, from the stunning cinematography of Zelda and John to the laid-back yet quirky costume design of Poser. The end result is a captivating exploration of two individuals and their isolated lives, as well as the fear of supernatural possession.

Horrors to Watch
As horror trends ebb and flow, reflecting the ever-changing reality from which it emerges, moments of intersection and flux become increasingly apparent. Horror that pushes the boundaries of subtext and horror that cuts to the core of our fears coexist in a chaotic landscape of dread and madness. The past few years have been a time of confinement and uncertainty, and our fears have been expressed in a variety of ways. Self-reflection has been a common theme, while spectacle has returned to the big screen. Throwbacks to simpler times have been weaponized, rather than relying on nostalgia. Horror in 2022 has been a reflection of growth in the face of pain, something it has always thrived on. Jordan Peele's blockbuster return, Ti West's ambitious double-whammy, and the showstoppers from indie voices like Chloe Okuno, Phil Tippett and Jane Schoenbrun have created a sordid assortment of horror that is as much a bag of Halloween candy as it is a snapshot of a society in transition.

Lockwood & Co Review
Lockwood & Co is Lockwood & Co is an exciting and intriguing tale that follows a team of teenage ghost hunters from London. Every night, they put their lives on the line to protect their community and solve a mystery that could change the course of history. The show is an adaptation of the bestselling book series by young-adult author Jonathan Stroud, and it has been brilliantly serialized by Joe Cornish, the writer/director of "The Kid Who Would Be King". With an impressive cast that includes Cameron Chapman as Anthony Lockwood, Ali Hadji-Heshmati as George Karim, and Ruby Stokes as Lucy Carlyle, the show promises to be a thrilling ride for viewers. One of the most impressive aspects of Lockwood & Co is the way that Joe Cornish has established the rules and mythology of the show's fantastical parallel world. Instead of relying on long-winded voice-overs or clunky expository dialogue, the opening titles provide essential information in a lively and fast-paced montage of newspaper headlines and TV news reports. This technique creates a vivid backdrop for the main action and establishes the setting as a world similar to ours but stuck in a time resembling the 1980s, without modern digital technology such as smartphones and social media due to a deadly epidemic of ghosts. The show's production designer, Marcus Rowland, has done an excellent job of bringing this alternate version of London to life. The three young protagonists, Lucy Carlyle, Anthony Lockwood, and George Karim, are based in a house that resembles Sherlock Holmes's 221b Baker Street-style home for their ghost-hunting operation. The use of real London locations, austere concrete buildings, and crumbling mansion houses, perfectly captures the stark, edgy, and dangerous feel of a society hewing closely to the original source material of Jonathan Stroud's YA book series. The main characters are well-developed and intriguing. Anthony Lockwood is a nerdy yet dashing 18-year-old in a suit and tie, with a mysterious, elusive character. He is surrounded by antique books and objects and has a head in a jar in the basement and a no-go area of a locked room that he doesn't like to talk about. Cameron Chapman delivers a brilliantly modulated performance that brings this complex character to life. Ali Hadji-Heshmati is well cast as Lockwood's super-smart, slightly difficult best friend George. However, the most relatable of the three young heroes is Lucy, played by Ruby Stokes. She shows great determination and courage to confront the supernatural threats, and her character is easy to root for. Another strong point of the show is the consistently intelligent, wryly funny dialogue. It is a sophisticated supernatural thriller that will keep audiences entertained. The show's humor is often subtle and character-based, which adds depth to the storytelling. The three main characters are all witty and sarcastic, and their exchanges are always entertaining. In conclusion,
