    It’s rare to find a film that makes you sit in awe ten minutes after it’s over, but that’s the state you would’ve found me in after “Short Term 12” had ended. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a drama film that I, and many others I’m sure, could relate to. It covered real-life situations and lessons that viewers could, not only understand, but also learn from and take away meaningful guidance. I definitely turned off Netflix with a feeling of warmth and content. Overall, I found the film to be realistic, relatable, and so enjoyable to watch.…

    Psycho: Movie Analysis

    I'm not even going to pretend that I'm qualified enough to critique the masterpiece known as Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. The film is pretty much near perfection in all regards and there is nothing I could say that hasn't been heard a million times before. However, there is one thing I want to talk about and that is, the differences between the movie and book. Alfred Hitchcock is quoted as saying that everything that is in Psycho was from the book by Robert Bloch. For the most part, that statement is true, however, the movie does deviate a bit from the source material and in fact, the film could have used a bit of the book's material to help with the heavy exposition ending.…

    I could ramble on with this review and waste your time, but do you really need to be told to watch John Carpenter's other masterpiece (the first being Halloween) The Thing? The film is pure perfection in every form and it's something that will live on for generations. I never personally tackled reviewing The Thing on this site before, because I just don't see the point. Us horror fans know that The Thing is a masterpiece, so what exactly can be said about it that hasn't been mentioned a million times before? Nothing, to be perfectly honest with you.…

    Dark Ride It has become common today for people to dismiss Stephen King’s contribution to the horror genre. The standard way of thinking about horror has it that anything that has an R slapped on it upon hitting theaters is considered scary and more importantly off limits to children of young ages. Taking a kid to see the new Ouija movie would be frowned upon by a majority of society. At the same time that I strongly believe the social norm of keeping kids away from horror movies, I also believe that there are many movies out there that are not labeled as horror that contain horror like plots, which can in turn scar anyone for life.…
