It's time for another round of horror movie reviews!
First on the list:
Malevolent (2018): It's another Netflix original with big ideas! It started off great with two siblings working together as a paranormal investigator team...except they're con artists and prey on people's grief. It's pretty despicable but as we go along we realize the sister can actually see dead people and when they're called into get rid of a group of ghosts in an old estate in the middle of nowhere where girl orphans were brutally murdered...well, things get pretty dicey.
There is a lot of great set up and creep things that go bump in the night. I loved the Scottish castle setting. I liked the sister but the brother was awful. And the ending fell apart completely. But overall it's not a bad way to spend an evening with friends, popcorn and wine!
Pet Sematary (1989): There are so many great elements in this adaptation. The setting is pretty solid. The old guy Jud brings a great twist to the setting. He's a bit eccentric and creepy but you're not sure if he's friend or foe in the beginning. But the best thing about the whole movie is the cat Church, a blue Russian, and the three-year-old Gage, played brilliantly by Miko Hughes.
It's got some great scares and enough cheese factor to keep you jumping and laughing at the same time. It is one of the better King adaptations. I am looking forward to the new adaptation coming out next year!
Into the Dark: The Body (2018): This is a new anthology series from Hulu. Each month will feature a new movie based on a classic holiday of that month. This month we get The Body. A hitman hides a body when everyone thinks the body is apart of his costume. It's pandemonium as he picks up a budding serial killer as his partner and three other people from a Halloween party. Can he get away with it? Does the killer fall in love? It's a bit cheesy but I liked the humor and feel of the movie overall. It was a great little movie to watch for the Halloween season. I do look forward to the other movies over the next year!
