Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre (2023)
Unfortunately Underwhelming
I have to be dead honest unfortunately I'd rate Junji Ito Maniac about the same as the Junji Ito Collection they both have positives and negatives about different thing's focusing on Maniac the writing feels a bit better the suspense build up to the gruesome moments that are supposed to make your skin crawl and gut churn Junji Ito is such a master of fall so flat in this show it feels lifeless because knowing Junji Ito he doesn't rely on cheap scares and such he likes body horror the inescapable what makes his books so amazing and skin crawling he puts such a dreadful touch to his art that's so creepily detailed that it's incredible and this show takes the build up you start to get unsettled just for the big (supposed to be) shocking reveal for it to look slightly cartoonish and dumbed down almost as if it was censored if you're a hardcore Junji Ito fan like me you will find some enjoyment in it it's not all bad not at all just like the Collection it has its shining moments but I'd probably give Maniac a granted biased rating of 6 out of 10 and that's honestly a fanboy opinion so about the same as I'd give the Junji Ito Collection!
V/H/S/99 (2022)
A solid entry for the franchise!
This is a very solid entry in the painfully underrated V/H/S franchise it has fantastic practical and special effects I appreciate that it does more with the idea of being set in the 90s than V/H/S 94 like game shows mentions of Y2K old computers very nostalgic but I do believe this movie falls a little heavy on the over the top comedy side of things where I believe 94 shined a little more in the horror field I prefer 94 a little more than this one it's definitely worth giving a watch if you can get a free trial for Shudder if you are a fan of the rest of the films you are almost certain to get some enjoyment out of this film just go in with the expectations of a lot of comedy or goofiness at the beginning of the shorts besides a few but when the horror peaks it's a thrill!
Halloween Ends (2022)
A unsatisfying ending...
(No Spoilers) Halloween Ends was not good 😞 I was a huge fan of the previous 2 I'm a very forgiving horror fan I can look past a lot of things so much so my favorite Halloween is Halloween 4 I'm not exaggerating when I say nothing happens for a entire hour they spend time setting up a new character which I was intrigued by and had potential but completely falls flat and nothing comes out of it in the end which was disappointing and I'm not kidding when I say the final brawl the trailers and marketing hyped up between Laurie and Michael lasts literally a minute at most and then it literally kinda just ends the movie feels like a huge disrespect to the James Jude Courtney Michael who I believe to be one of the best creepy sinister versions of Michael and literally just sits him to the side if you had any fear of this Michael you won't anymore after watching this movie a whole beginning mystery plot to do with a the new character that I was intrigued by just doesn't get explained as a huge Halloween fan I'm mentally upset and bummed that this was supposed to be the grand finale of the Halloween franchise I'd honestly give it a 3-4 out of 10 just because of a few decent kills in the movie I 100% recommend saving your money on this one and watching it on Peacock or save your time and watch the Hellraiser remake on Hulu.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)
Sonic meet Knuckles!
I have been a fan of Sonic since I could walk I've played almost every game growing up I always wanted a big screen Sonic movie I got to see this movie a day early I'm a massive fan of the first but the sequel in my Sonic fanboy eyes is a masterpiece seeing some of my favorite video game/comic characters coming together seeing Sonic and Knuckles brawling on the big screen made me so giddy with happiness how can I forget the credit scene made me scream out loud in excitement I would tear up from being so happy for what I was watching if you are a fan of Sonic this is a must watch and would be a great introduction to Sonic if you have kids watch the first movie before hand of course!
