Obsession is a new modern horror masterpiece [and] one of the best horror films of the decade so far.

While it can feel a little repetitive, that seems to be the point as The Sun Never Sets is a darkly funny, emotionally matter a fact journey of that the love you need sometimes isn’t another person.

Over Your Dead Body

Saved only by the work of Segel and Weaving performances, Over Your Dead Body barely gets to live as its own thing, even though it feels tied down so much to its original source material, losing a chance to be creative with this world.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is an improvement on the first film in every way and does make me excited to see what they do next, even if it is more tales of Grace and Faith (the silliest names ever, by the way).

The hard truth is that The Bride!‘s shotgun-blast of moods and styles just doesn’t work, compounded by the script’s desperate socio-political reach. There are glimpses of a more fun movie in its less self-important elements.
