Fall (2022) - Movie Review

After everything I said when I reviewed Beast, deciding to sit down for yet another survival flick might get me to belabour the point that this isn’t really my genre. Then again, in my defence, the trailer for this thing showed more characterisation than the whole of Beast, so I figured I’d at least give it a chance. So long as this provides me with some reason to care about who is doing the surviving here, we should be good. And to the film’s credit, I certainly got reasons to care… even if they weren’t necessarily in the characters’ favour.

The Unholy (2021) - Movie Review

It was inevitable that we’d get to this point. After working as part of the DisneyToon machine in the 2000s, and breaking out into the mainstream to properly embarrass Disney licenses in the 2010s, it was only a matter of time before Evan Spiliotopoulos stopped merely writing unnecessary stories and started directing his own. Admittedly, I wasn’t expecting that transition to take the form of a Raimi-produced horror film, but seeing him attached as director to a new movie still isn’t as shocking as it should be. What is quite shocking, however, is how much this film is already starting to sour in my memory less than an hour after watching it. And my thoughts on it weren’t exactly glowing to begin with.
