Mr Harrigan's Phone- A Netflix Movie review đź‘Śđź‘ŚVery interesting picture
I’ve long been a fan of Stephen King’s novellas, and some of them have been turned into great films in the past, including “Stand by Me,” “The Shawshank Redemption,” and “The Mist.” The master of horror’s 2020 collection If It Bleeds opened with a wonderful little ghost story called “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone,” which is now a Netflix original horror film from John Lee Hancock, the director of “The Rookie” and "The Blind Side." He brings the earnestness of those films to King’s ghost story and proves to be the wrong filmmaker for this project. “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone” needed a viciousness that Hancock eschews in favor of blunt commentary about dependence on technology that sounds about as in touch as that old relative of yours who will lecture you about why he’s never going to get a smartphone. Hancock’s adaptation, which he also wrote, takes forever to get going, and then seems almost afraid of its own dark themes of vengeance when it finally gets to them. An early engaging performance from the great Donald Sutherland and a consistently grounded one from Jaeden Martell keep “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone” from completely going dead, but you’re going to want to send this one to voicemail.The wealthy Mr. Harrigan (Sutherland) hires a young man named Craig (Martell) to read to him because the old man’s eyes are going in his later years. He’s a deeply analog man who doesn’t own a TV or even a radio, even if he likes listening to his “Country Western” tunes in the car sometimes. He comes to life not just when Craig reads material like Heart of Darkness but when they discuss the themes after. It’s a formative friendship for Craig and a lovely final chapter for Mr. Harrigan, who clearly has stepped on a few people on his climb up the corporate ladder. He encourages Craig to be ruthless and decisive, whether it’s in standing up to a high school bully or approaching a girl he likes. He gives Craig confidence, and Craig gives him some late-in-life comfort.

Prey For The Devil Review
Prey for the Devil is a horror film that fails to offer anything new or original to the genre. The story follows Anne, a nun with a troubled past who dreams of becoming an exorcist, but the Catholic Church does not allow women to learn the rites. The film addresses the fact that demonic possession is almost always a superstitious person's explanation of profound mental or physical illness and the horrors of previous church practices. However, the film's use of symbolism and imagery is either handled without grace or intended as poorly planned propaganda. The scares don't work, the presentation is a mess, and the messaging is either confused or unforgivable.

The Ghost of the Abandoned Estate"
The Ghost of the Abandoned Estate" Once upon a time, there was a wealthy merchant named Ratan Jasra who built a grand estate on the outskirts of town. However, after a series of misfortunes, including the death of his beloved wife and children, Ratan became a recluse and never set foot in the estate again. Years passed and the estate fell into disrepair. Local villagers whispered of strange occurrences, such as ghostly laughter and the sound of footsteps coming from the empty house at night. They believed that Ratan's spirit still haunted the estate, still grieving for his lost family. One brave soul decided to investigate the rumors and entered the estate, but never returned. The villagers searched for him but found no trace, leading them to believe that Ratan's ghost had claimed another victim. To this day, the abandoned estate remains a eerie place avoided by locals, and the ghost of Ratan Jasra is said to still roam the halls, still mourning for his family. As the years went by, the legend of Ratan Jasra and his haunted estate only grew. Many curious thrill-seekers ventured to the estate, hoping to catch a glimpse of the ghostly merchant. But none of them ever returned. One day, a young woman named Maya decided to investigate the abandoned estate. She had grown up in the village and had always been fascinated by the stories of Ratan Jasra. She was determined to find out the truth and put an end to the rumors once and for all. Maya entered the estate and immediately felt a chill run down her spine. The air was thick with a sense of sorrow and despair. She heard the sound of footsteps coming from the upstairs, but when she followed the sound, she found nothing but empty rooms. As she explored the estate, she found a hidden room in the basement. Inside, she discovered a portrait of Ratan Jasra and his family, along with a journal detailing the merchant's tragic story. She learned that Ratan had never recovered from the loss of his wife and children, and that he had died alone in the estate, consumed by grief. As Maya read the journal, she realized that the ghostly presence she had felt was not that of a vengeful spirit, but of a man who had lost everything and could not find peace. She left the estate feeling a sense of understanding and compassion for Ratan Jasra. From that day on, the villagers no longer feared the ghost of the abandoned estate. They knew that Ratan's spirit was not there to harm them, but to mourn the loss of his family. And they left him in peace, knowing that he would finally find the solace he had been searching for. Maya's discovery of Ratan Jasra's journal and the truth about his tragic story led to a change in the perception of the abandoned estate. People no longer saw it as a haunted place, but as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing the time we have with our loved ones. As a tribute to Ratan Jasra and his family, the villagers decided to restore the estate to its former glory. They cleaned the house and gardens, and even held a memorial ceremony for the merchant and his family. The restored estate became a popular tourist destination, and people came from far and wide to see the house and learn about Ratan Jasra's story. Many visitors reported feeling a sense of peace and serenity when they walked through the halls of the estate, as if Ratan's spirit had finally found rest. Maya, who had uncovered the truth about Ratan Jasra, became the caretaker of the estate. She made sure that the house and gardens were always well-maintained, and that visitors were treated with respect and kindness. As the years went by, the legend of Ratan Jasra and his haunted estate became a story of love, loss, and redemption. And the ghost of the abandoned estate was finally at peace, knowing that his memory would be kept alive for generations to come.
