Silent Night, Deadly Night 1984 Film Review

Christmas time is almost upon us and while the rest of the world will be watching the more really traditional Christmas films. Those films are really to boring for me so instead i've chosen to watch an alternative Christmas movie and it just so happens that this film also has a remake coming out this Friday as well and so then join me as I review the film that really spends quite alot of time in just setting up the main villain of the film with the film in question being called simply just "Silent Night, Deadly Night" enjoy.

The plot of this film is ten years after seeing his parents killed by a man in a Santa suit Billy Chapman goes insane and it's up those closest to him to stop from doing more harm dressed in a Santa suit. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with the film actually telling an original plot as there really hadn't been a horror film before now that told this plot and yet at the same time it's kind of easy to see why as this films plot is pretty bare bones as it is with it being quite hard to tell just what the main plot of the film is even meant to be alot of the time with this not really being helped by the fact that the film comes across as not really having a plot with it seeming like the makers of this film were oping that the premise alone would be more then enough to make the film good which granted the premise is original enough that you do kind of forgive the film for not really having that much of a plot in the first place but in saying this tho there really did need to be some resemblance of plot there to make the film worth watching in the first place and yet because of the fact that the makers of this film really didn't bother to give this film a plot it does make it seem like that they had no idea of what to do from a plot point of view as there really is very little in the way of plot with the plot of this film not really being really rather entertaining and nor is it really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Robert Brian Wilson as Billy Chapman and Alex Burton as Richard "Ricky" Chapman. Also starring in this film is Lilyan Chauvin as Mother Superior , Gilmer McCormick as Sister Margaret , Toni Nero as Pamela , Britt Leach as Mr. Sims , Nancy Borgenicht as Mrs. Helen Randall , Linnea Quigley as Denise , Will Hare as Grandpa Chapman , Tara Buckman as Ellie Chapman and Geoff Hansen as Jim Chapman.

Now then interms of what I personally tought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty i in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with all of this films actors turning as good of a performance as they possibly could have done as nobody is going into this film expecting the acting to be top notch and yet we still do manage to get some really passable acting from all of this films actors which for this film is truly something to be hold as by all rights this films acting should have been really bad and yet you can tell that alot of this films actors really are trying there absolute best to turn in a good performance with the films best actor being Robert Brian Wilson as not only is he in alot of the film but that he also does get to show off both sides of his character from him being partially sane to going fully blown insane and it is something that does work with the type of performance that he gives and while he's not as good as Robert Englund is as Freddy Krueger for example for an actor in a low budget slasher film he does as well as is to be expected and yet he does manage to turn in a really good performance when this kind of film really didn't require him to do so to make this character work in the first place with the acting that's in this film not really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film. 

Where this film does fair somewhat better is in it's characters as the characters in this film are fairly decent. With alot of the films characters whilst they aren't anywhere close to being fully formed characters do serve there purpose really well which is to be nothing more then people for Billy to kill and that's it with the only one that doesn't serve that purpose being Sister Margaret who does try to be kind to Billy when he's growing up something which Mother Superior doesn't do as she believes that punishment is a good thing and often hits Billy over every little thing that he does that she deems to be wrong and Billy himself is a rather fascinating character as we spend ALOT of the first thirty minuets if the film with him just as a child with us getting to see just what it is that made as insane as he is and while spending that long of the films running time is pretty excessive it is something that does help us form a connection with Billy as a character infact out of all of this films characters Billy is the one that we the audience spend alot of time with and because of that the character does come across as being oddly likable as the people around him that there looking after him after the death of his parents could have treated him nicely and made sure that he was mentally well but they didn't which only served to do more harm then good to him as a character with the rest of the of the films characters being nothing more then people for him to kill which granted was kind of the purpose of those characters but it still would have been if alot more of this films characters played bigger roles in the film as someone of them could have given Billy someone to talk to and Sister Margaret someone to bounce off of as well and yet they don't do that which means that Billy is left to spend alot of the film alone and Sister Margaret spends alot of the time with a Police Officer tracking Billy down.

Whilst alot of people would say that Billy or even Mother Superior are the ones to blame for what happens in the film and there is some truth to that. However there is one character that alot of people seem to forget also played a large part in who Billy is as an adult that being Grandpa as he straight up tells young Billy that Santa will punish him because he's been naughty and makes young Billy afraid of Santa in the first place something does come into play quite alot of the time in this film as now everytime he sees that suit or someone in that suit he now associates it with punishment and fear and granted Grandpa wasn't in the best of conditions when Billy last saw him as a kid but it was still pretty bad of Grandpa to do that to a kid so young and granted Billy's parents did try to calm him down when they saw a Santa on the road on the way home which is what any good parent would do but by that point it was far to little to late and given the fact that the Santa they chose to help out was a bad person did serve to hit home just what it was that Grandpa said to him in the first place with all of this plus the scenes at the orphanage only serving to make Billy more of a likable character the any of the characters that we would normally like as here we have a villain who was basically mentally tortured by two people who should have known better but actively chose not to granted Grandpa wasn't in the best of health at the time so he does get let off a little bit but he still should have known not to basically scar the kid in the first place as best case scenario that now means that both the kid and his parents and brother will now no longer see him with the film playing out the worst case scenario.

Be prepared for this film to be a slow burn as that's exactly what this film it's a very slow burner of a film. With the film spending a good chuck of it's time just6 in setting up Billy as a character prior to him turning eighteen and then when he does turn eighteen the film spends a good while just showing us what it is that finally drives him insane and while this kind of approach worked for something like halloween as that film was at the very least building up tension and had more likable characters in it to help to make the time go by faster here tho none of that is the case as the only likable character outside of Billy is Sister Margaret and that's it and even then the film doesn't spend alot of time with her character so much so infact that you' be forgiven for thinking that she even was a character in the first place as she disappears from the film for large periods of the films running time with the film not even building up tension when we see him get a job as a store Santa as everything that we'd seen with the character up until that point in time made us feel sorry for the character therefor it would have helped the film out quite a bit if there was more to this film maybe by having more main characters that have a story of there own as then it would break up alot of the boring scenes with Billy working happily at the Toy Shop but to the films credit tho when it does get going it really does get going it just takes a good long while for it to really get going which would be fine if the film was near two hours long which this film sadly isn't and heck the film doesn't take full advantage of the fact that it's a Christmas themed horror film as you don't really see anything that makes it a Christmas type of film outside of some snow of the ground.

To give this film some credit you can see the potential for this film to be a really good horror film in it's own right. As the idea alone is creative enough and the idea of having someone dressed up as Father Christmas going around killing people does make for a good villain but given the films Christmas setting and how the killer of the film is dressed up as it's not as fun as it really should have been as by all rights this film should have been a horror comedy as it's all right there for the film to work all the more better if they didn't take themselves as seriously as they do in the film and while yes granted the film having Billy going around and only killing people who he sees doing things that he himself deems to be naughty could be seen as being a funny and possibly even campy thing the film really doesn't lean into that aspect of the film as such all it does is make Billy come across as being the hero of the film and heck he even stops some bullies in the film as well and yet if the film did lean into this aspect just a little bit more and even made it into a running joke for the film then it is something that would have helped make the film be alot more entertaining then what it already is in the first place and heck it could even be argued that Billy shouting "Naughty" every time that he's about to kill someone does make the film more unintentionally funny then what perhaps the makers of the film had originally intended and yet if this was a horror comedy then they would have been able to go to those more weird and wacky places that they just can't go to as everything in the film is playing straight which could be argued makes those more unintentionally funny moments even more funnier in the first place but it does also make the film out be alot more boring as well thankfully tho based on recently released clips it does look like the the remake is going more of the horror comedy route tho.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty four minuets and fifty four seconds. With this film being a little bit on the long side as this film really doesn't have the right amount of plot to cover that amount of running time in the first place infact it has about the right amount of plot to cover at best thirty minuets and that's it with the film not even using it's running time all that wisely in the first place as this film doesn't even develop it's plot all that well with the makers of this film being alot more focused on giving us every single aspect of Billy's backstory then it is giving us a well developed plot when it would have made more sense if the makers of the film spent more time on giving us a more well developed plot then anything else with this even effecting the films characters as well as none of this films characters are well developed with alot of them coming across as not even two dimensional characters but rather there just one dimensional characters with the same thing even being true for Billy as we don't get to spend that much time with him before he starts to slowly go insane and therefor we can't really feel that sorry for him with the only thing that could have fixed this being if the film had a page one rewrite of it's script as that's where all the issues with the film start as by doing that it could mean that all of the pointless backstory story stuff could get trimmed down thus freeing up room for more time to develop both the films plot and it's characters and yet because of the fact that the makers of this film really want us to know every aspect of how Billy became who he is in the first place that does mean that we are left with both a plot and characters that feel like afterthoughts when compared to the films backstory but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a slasher that really does mean that I have t actually have to talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With the film shockingly having alot of pretty decent kills in it which was shocking given the fact that this film had a really small production budget and yet while that you can see how cheap this film was on screen where you can't see it is in the films kills as the film does have alot of rally impressive gore effects in it all of which work really well and look alot more better then what they really should have done and while it would be very easy to say that the films best kill was the massacre that Billy goes on in the Toy Shop the fact is is that whilst there some really good kills there the films best best kill have to be when he goes next door and proceed to pierce the girlfriend of one of the people in the house with deer antlers as that's only a really creative kill and it's one that does tie in to the films Christmas theme as well as even tho the film does have a killer Santa alot of the kills in this film happen because of Billy using an axe and don't really have that much to do with Christmas with the only other Christmas themed kill being when he strangles someone with Christmas lights in the Toy Shop but the antler kill is an iconic kill for a reason as it's a kill that really does work really well with there being some really good look practical effects in that kill and other kills as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall it really isn't that hard to see why this film became a cult classic there's really nothing in this film that says that it was ever going to be a mainstream film and yet the film is still despite being a pretty dull film alot of the time is still one that is enjoyable once the film itself really get going in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad thigs that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all pf the images that I personally used in this vert review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Scream 2 Film Review

It's fair to say that the Scream franchise has had just as much ups as it has downs as for every Scream 2 there's a Scream 3. Heck even right now the fanbase seems to be more divided then it's ever been with people either loving or hating the trailer for Scream 7 so I thought that i'd take us back to more simpler time by talking about a film that we all can agree is really good and is easily one of the more better Scream sequels despite it's really very chaotic production and so then join me as I review the film that came out less then year after the first film with the film in question being called simply just "Scream 2" enjoy.

The plot of this film is one year after the events of the first film Sidney and Randy have to try and survive a new wave of Ghostface murders when someone starts making there own real life sequel. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with this films plot being nothing ore the typical Scream plot but in all fairness to this film this was the first sequel to Scream which does mean that you really can't blame them for going back to what worked in the first film and in all fairness to the film the films plot does advance the characters in ways that do feel natural to who they are as well as advancing the plot of the films as a whole just by showing us that Ghostface really can attack Sidney from anywhere in the world with the plot of this film being one that was really well done as it is a strong enough plot to fully support being it's own unique film in the first place and while the first film did handle this plot the best it was interesting to see how the basic setup of someone who knows full well that she's in a horror movie trying to survive now trying to survive being in a horror sequel with this film even using all of the rules that slasher sequels do typically follow including killing of a main character from the first film to make us believe that the main characters can indeed now die with the only thing that doesn't work with this film in regards to it's plot is the fact that it doesn't lean as far as it should have done with the characters knowing that there in a sequel as that is something that could have made the film all the more fun to watch with the plot of this film being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this film is Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott , David Arquette as Dewey Riley and Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers. Also starring in this film is Jamie Kennedy as Randy Meeks , Sarah Michelle Gellar as Cici Cooper , Laurie Metcalf as Debbie Salt / Nancy Loomis , Elise Neal as Hallie McDaniel , Jerry O'Connell as Derek Feldman , Timothy Olyphant as Mickey Altieri , Jada Pinkett as Maureen Evans , Liev Schreiber as Cotton Weary , Lewis Arquette as Louis Hartley , Duane Martin as Joel , Rebecca Gayheart as Lois , Portia De Rossi as Murphy , Omar Epps as Phil Stevens and Roger L. Jackson as The Voice Of Ghostface.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of this films actors turning in some really good performances in this film with this not really being something that's all that surprising as alot of this films actors are a bunch of really good actors in there own right and with Wes Craven a proven director who really does know how to get a good performance out of his actors it's not really all that shocking that this film has a bunch of good performances in it as while it would be expected for the films returning actors to he good in this film as they would have had the experience of playing there characters before hand the films more newer characters also more then hold there own when it comes to acting with the films returning actors as well something that couldn't have been easy to do with the films best actor being Neve Campbell as she really does make the character of Sidney her own whilst also making her feel like the same character that we met in the first fil only now she's a little bit more battle hardened with this being something that does come through in her acting in this film with the acting that's in this film really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of the naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film. 

Nine times out of ten in rushed sequels the characters really do suffer as the makers of the film just wouldn't have had the time to get the right but here in this film it really seems to be the opposite that's true. As within the first few seconds of them appearing on screen together you can tell right away that all of the films returning characters feel like they did inn the first film with all of them having something about them in this film that helps to make them interesting characters with Randy taking a film class which is something that does feel very true to his character , Sid is now the college weirdo thank to the latest attacks , Dewey is more of a big brother figure to Sid whilst still trying to deal with his own past with Gale herself is just as fame hungry as she was in the first film with her even showing how far she's willing to go by surprising Sid with an interview with Cotton which is something that her character would do this early on in the franchises run where the film does somewhat start to faulter is in the newer characters as outside f maybe a handful of them alot of them do start to fade away and fall into the background alot with this possibly being due to the fact that not only was this film a very rushed production but it was also being made at the same time as the original I Know What You Did Last Summer which Scream 2 writer Kevin Williamson also wrote with him being spread a bit to thin and while this films new characters are easily better then the ones that are in Scream 3 as these ones really are at the very least somewhat memorable there not as good as the characters from the first Scream movie as while people do remember the characters from the first movie alot more then they do the characters from this film there is still quit a clear attempt to make this films new characters just as good as the ones in the first film.

Whilst there is quite clearly two Ghostface killers in this film given one scene in the film it is possible that there could have been a third one. As if you recall in the scene where Sidney and Hallie get attacked near the wrecked police car there is already a knockout Ghostface with Mickey being the one to get knocked out now it is possible that Mrs. Loomis was the one to kill Hallie but then you have to take into account all of the twists and turns that the girls do running two and from the car so there was no way that there could have been both Ghostface killers there to kill them as Mickey was already knocked out and Mrs. Loomis wouldn't have been strong enough to lift an entire human being on her own without some help there could however have been a third unknown Ghostface killer helping her out which is something that Scream 3 actually could have dealt with as they could have revealed that Roman the killer in that film was the one that was helping her out which would actually make alot of sense given the fact that he hates Sid's guts and has done since she was born due to how badly there mother treated him it is also possible that with Stu being confirmed to return in some capacity in Scream 7 that it might also have been him as he would want revenge on Sid for what happend during the course of that film and given that he and Billy were best friends it would make sense that he would know who his mother is as well either one works as it explains why the pretty feeble looking Mrs. Loomis is suddenly able to lift an entire human body on her own something which even the more fittest of people would struggle to do but if she had help by an unknown third person then it is something that could have been really very easily.

Whilst this film does have alot of positives in it it does also have some negatives as well like how does Sid not recognise Mrs. Loomis during quite literally any of the scenes where she's surrounded by the press as Mrs. Loomis was in those scenes with her and given the fact that she and Billy dated for quite a while she would have seen what his mother looked like quite alot of the time. The other thing is the fact that the film got rid of the highly entertaining Randy which yes granted does serve a purpose as it does say to us the audience that now anyone can die but interms of the film itself nothing is added by him dieing as you could have had any of the films new characters be the one that get's killed of in the van and it would have worked all the same and while Randy death was done to say that now any character can die it is something that does then rob us of the most entertaining character in the franchise and one that very easily could have taken over the franchise should the makers of the film have chosen not to bring Sid back as there is a lot of potential with his character and just going back to the whole Sid not picking up on Mrs. Loomis thing this is something that very easily could have been fixed by having Mrs. Loomis either wear a disguise when she's in front of Sid or by having her walk of screen whenever Sid is about to walk on screen as then it would be feasible that Sid wouldn't recognise her being there in the first place and you very easily could have had a character like Joel be the the one to get killed off as that character adds nothing to the film in the first place and we would have gotten alot more Randy in future Scream movies. 

The motives for each killer as well as the mystery of the film as a whole was actually really good as Mickey is nothing but an insane film student that believes that people watch horror movies to get inspired by them and Mrs. Loomis just straight up wants revenge and that's it. Both of which are things that does work really well for there respective characters but the film doesn't go as far into detail as they really should have dine as we don't get to see Mickey acting all that crazy at any other point in the film which granted would have been very hard to not make him seem like a suspect when he's acting insane it is something that could have been done with just the looks that the character gives in certain situation and how he acts in certain situations as well with the films mystery being as good as it was every going to be given the fact that the film had a chaotic production history with the films script which included who the killer was going to be being leaked online which forced the makers of this film to do a very last minuet rewrite of the films script and the film being rushed into development due to the success of the first film but with this being said it would have added to the mystery if we got to see more of the red herrings like Derek for example acting like they could be the killer as that could then throw us of the sent a little bit and it would have helped if the film gave us some subtle clues as to who the killer of killers were in this film as these are meant to be mystery films after all so it would be in this films nature to give us some clues to help us the audience to solve the mystery of who these killers are in the first place.

Now then this film really has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly two hours and eleven seconds. Which to be to this film is a pretty solid running time for a film lie this one to have as the film does have more then enough plot there to really cover it's running time with the film even using it's running time really wisely as well as the plot of the film is as well developed as it was ever going to be with the film to really needing to develop it's plot all that much as the film is just copying what the first film did with it only adding in a few new things and that's it and yet at the same time tho what new things it does add like the fact that this film is spoofing horror sequels already feel right at home and well developed as it's the Scream franchises DNA to spoof what the in thing is in horror but it would have helped the film out a little bit more if the film did spent alot less time on giving us gory death scenes and weird theater scenes and giving us scenes that do develop it's plot a little bit more but tho to be fair this films character are also as well as developed as they were ever going to be as while yes it is possible that in the leaked version of Scream 2 that characters like Hallie and Derek and even both Mrs. Loomis and Mickey for that example got some character development but given just how rushed this film was in the first place and the fact that the films script was rewritten at the eleventh hour they get as much character development as you'd expect them to get with the film giving us more focus on the kills then it does the character development which is something that does really make alot of sense given that this is a horror film but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a slasher film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With the film delivering on two of it's rules by having more kills and more elaborate deaths with all of this film kills working really well in this film as while nothing will ever be able to top the more intimate nature of the first films kills the kills in this film do work really well as all of the films deaths do feel more important to the plot with a good example of this being the death of Maureen and Phil at the start of the film as the previous film could only dream of having not one but two kills take place in public place and infront of possibly hundreds of the people with there deaths being he deaths that kick of the plot of the film and yet it's not there deaths that are the best deaths n the film as that honor goes to the death of Randy as while it is a quick kill it is one that is built up really well with both him Gale and Dewey quickly searching the surrounding area to see where the call is coming only or Randy to get sneaked up on and dragged into a van where he is then very brutally stabbed to death with his death being the best kill due to the fact that it does now tell us the rest of the films main characters can get killed in this film with the rest of the films kills being really good as well as you can tell that the makers of this film put alot of thought and effort into giving us some really creative and cool kills that whilst they don't top what they did in the first film are still really good in their own right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall whilst alot of the modern Scream fan will be focused on either hating or loving the trailer for Scream 7 one things for sure and that's the fact that this film is easily better then Scream 3 as this film is just such a good film that is sure to appease alot of the Scream fanbase in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of that I personally used in this very review from tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Five Nights At Freddy's 2 Film SPOILER FREE Film Review

Back in 2023 there was one horror film that nobody expected to be a hit film that being Five Nights At Freddy's. Yet it did turn out to be a very modest hit for Universal Pictures so much so that a little over a year later they announced the sequel and well the sequel has just been released and well I thought that i'd check it out for you all and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE review of the film that it could be argued is a Scream reunion with the film in question being called simply just "Five Nights At Freddy's 2" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when Abby starts to miss her robotic friends she decides to visit them inorder to fix them but a camera crew is also there and stir up trouble that could have deadly consequences for all involved. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty OK at best as this films plot really has nothing in it that makes it worth watching and yet at the same time the films plot is creative enough to make the film worth watching as it's a plot that we really havn't seen before now and while this films plot isn't strong enough to support an entire film you could also make that argument for the first films plot as well and yet somehow that film pulled off it's weak premise where as this film despite having the games creator on board as both a screen writer and a producer it somehow doesn't make it work with this films plot being the kind of plot that you could see working better as an episode of a TV show rather then something that you'd want to see in a movie as the films plot is just wafer thin at best with the film just dropping and picking up it's plot several times that it makes it hard to tell just what the main plot of the film is even meant to be in the first place as that's how forgettable that this films plot really is alot of the time with the plot of this film not even being really rather entertaining and nor is it really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Josh Hutcherson as Mike Schmidt , Elizabeth Lail as Vanessa Shelly and Piper Rubio as Abby Schmidt. Also starring in this film is Freddy Carter as Michael Afton , Theodus Crane as Jeremiah , Wayne Knight as Mr. Berg , Teo Briones as Alex , Mckenna Grace as Lisa , Skeet Ulrich as Henry Emily , Kellen Goff as the voice of Toy Freddy , Megan Fox as the voice of Toy Chica , Matthew "MatPat" Patrick as the voice of Toy Bonnie and Matthew Lillard as William Afton.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of the actors that you expect a goo performance from giving us exactly that but that's also the problem as you expect those kinds of performances from alot of this films actors and therefor it's not all that surprising when they give you the performance that you expect from them which makes the performances in this film feel kind of predictable as you know what it is that your going to be getting with the actors in this film with the films more newer actors failing to make an impact as the film doesn't really give them a chance to and from a performance point of view they don't get alot of scenes to show us what it is that they can do in the process with the films best actor being Matthew Lillard as the man really is the only one who feels like that he's really actually trying to turn in a good performance in this film and it is something that does show as he really was a highlight of the first film as well and it is good to see him getting more and more mainstream roles again as he is a really good actor something which he does prove once again in this film with the acting that's in this film not really being helped by the fact that this is films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film. 

Character wise again much like the films plot there's really nothing to this films characters as they all feel like that they were created within a week. As to be frank none of this films character are all that interesting and while yes that was also a problem with the first film as well it could be argued that they were still coming up with the characters in that film and yet in this film the makers of this film should have known how to make there characters interesting or even passable but it seems like they took a huge step back when compared to the first film as in the first film they did have a thing where Mike was having nightmares about these children and learning to be an actual adult for Abby and yet here he comes across as a paper thin character that has nothing interesting about him with the same thing being true for Vanessa as well with even the the paranormal investigators that appear in the film only bein there to give the robots some more people to kill and that's really it with the only somewhat decent character being Abby herself as she really does believe that these robots are her friends with her even being someone who is into robotics which given what she went through in the first film does make sense for her character and while she's not as annoying as she really could have been she's also not that interesting of a character in the first place therefore it makes no sense for her to be this films main character especially if the makers of this film aren't going to do anything to make her interesting as they very easily could have made the school weirdo and have her struggle to come to gripes with what she went through in the first film as that is something that would scar any kid and yet she's brushed it off with her basically becoming a surrogate for the audience to see themselves as which is fine for the game but it's not something that works for the movie. 

Much like the first film this film is also based of the game that it's named after which in this case is Five Nights At Freddy's 2. Just based off of a very quick read of the games Wikipedia page it does look like that this film does follow the plot of the game quite closely as the film does borrow quite alot of things from the game which depending on if your a fan of the games or not could be seen as being either a good or a bad thing as while having this film be more like the game does show at the very least some level of respect towards the source material but at the same time tho if your going to stick to the games plot as fairly closely as this film does then you might as well out the entire game on the screen as if you've played the game then you've seen the movie as there's pretty much nothing that's all that different between the two with this being what you get when you hire the person that wrote the game in the first place to be the sole writer of the film version as there should have been someone writing the script for this film who wasn't involved with the making of the game as then that person would know what stuff would make for an interesting film whereas here because of the fact that Scott Cawthon wrote both the game and this film it does mean that alot of the stuff from the game which again just based off of a very quick read of the games Wikipedia page doesn't make for a good film and heck the film even recreates the aspect of the game where the player has to use the security cameras to keep track of the robots which is great for gameplay but for the film it does result in a rather boring scene and while sticking close to the game can work heck just look at both Sonic The Hedgehog and The Super Mario Bros Movie as proof of that here tho it would have helped the film out if they did things that they didn't do in the game.

To say that the marketing for this film was really bad would be a huge understatement as there's not been all that much marketing done for the film. There was at most two trailers released months ago and a handful of posters and that's it and yet if you go outside you won't see the film being promoted anywhere be it on buses or on billboards there's nothing to tell you that this film is coming out therefor nobody would blame anyone if they either A didn't know that this film was coming out in the first place or B didn't know that this film was being made as there's just nothing to let you know that this film is being released say what you will about the first film but you at least knew that that film was coming out here tho there was nothing to tell you that the film was coming out with the makers of this film forgetting that they could have had the greatest film ever made on their hands but no one is going to know about it because there not telling us about it now granted this film will have some very stiff competition in a few weeks when Avatar: Fire And Ash comes out but it very easily could have won this weekend if people knew that the film was coming out but due to the fact that Zootopia 2 is actually doing pretty good at the box office and the fact that this is film was marketed really poorly this film will not make that much money either this weekend or in general and hopefully this fill teach the makers of this film to actually market the film as films like Borderlands have shown us that if you barely market a film then nobody is going to turn up for it and that is something that could very easily be the case for this film this is despite the fact that the franchise itself is still fairly popular

To be blunt there is a good chance that this could be the final Five Night At Freddy's movie not only due to the bad marketing and bad reviews as the first film also got bad reviews. With t also being due to the fact that the film isn't as fun as it could have been either as this is a film that had the potential to be a fun and dumb sequel as all of the things that needed to be set up were already done in the first film thus leaving this film to be more fun and just get on with things and give us things that they couldn't do in this first film yet it feels like that this film is alot less fun to watch as it takes itself far to seriously for it's own good which to be fair isn't a bad thing but when he film has scenes that could have been more fun if the film actually went all the way with it's ideas then it makes you wonder why they bothered to make this film as seriously as they did in the first place as this is a video game film so by all rights the makers of this film could have gone to those more fun places and it would have worked and yet because they don't it makes the film feel more of a chore to sit through as these should be films that are dumb films that don't really require you to think all that much about what's going on and yet because of the fact that we are forced to think about what's going on in the film that does mean that the film does come across as being all the more worse then what it already is in the first place as if we weren't forced to think about what's going on in the film then we the audience would be able to have a better time and except it for nothing more then what it is which is a dumb horror film and really nothing all the more then that.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty seven minuets and twenty two seconds. Which to be fair to this film is a perfectly solid running time or this film to have and while this film does have the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place it also doesn't really use it's running time all that wisely as the films plot isn't that well developed with this being because of the fact that the film doesn't spent alot of time on focusing on it's plot with it instead focusing on other things other then it's plot with the film just doing things not to advance the plot but just for no reason whatsoever when the film could have spent alot more of it's running time in developing it's plot then showing us pointless scenes of Mike just going about his day to day life with this even effecting the films character development as the makers of this film don't even bother to develop any of there characters which is fine for the game as the audience is meant to be the main character in the game but here in the film there should have been alot of effort into giving the films characters some form of character development but the film seems to be more focused on giving us references to the game then it is in giving us actually good characters that are well developed when it could have done both just by giving us well written characters or by giving us scenes where the characters learn things and grow as characters as a result of that but due to there being no character development in this film it does mean that we know just as much about this films coming out of the film then we did coming into the film as that's just how little character development that the films characters get in this film with this being true for both the returning and new characters as well but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a horror film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With the film putting alot of focus on giving us jump scares much like the game which is fine enough as the jump scares in tis film can really effective when there done right but that's the issue tho as not alot of this films jump scares are done right with sadly alot of them feeling like they were only added in there because of the fact that the makers of this wanted to have a scare and not because there was alot of tension built up as more often then not in this film they won't bother with building up any tension before doing the jump scare as they'll just jump right to the jump scare with an awkward music cue which is just cheap and lazy but with that being said tho there is some effort put into one of the films kills as the films best kills happens at a school I won't what event is taking nor who it involves but it is something that should have been the main centre piece of the film instead of happening when it does and it should have involved more then just the one robot as while the kill itself is indeed really good and is the films best kill for a reason it also reminds you of just how much fun that this film could have been with that scene being a a good example of that as it would have been more fun if we got to see more robots just going absolutely nuts in the school and while this scene works fine as it is it would have worked better if the film took more advantage of it's setting and actually dared to be more fun in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall if you have the choice between this and quite literally any other film out right now go with the other film as chances are you'll have a much more better time with that film then you will with this poorly made and poorly marketed film as that's just how average that this film really is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Wickedness Film Review

With ever popular film there of course comes two things the first of which is a sequel and the second of which is a knock off movie. Well Wicked turned out to be a really popular movie and it's sequel is already out however there is also a horror themed knock off movie out as well with it being that film that i'm going to be talking to you all about today and so then join me as I review the film that makes The Asylum more subtle with the film that it's knocking off with the film in question being called simply just "Wickedness" enjoy.

The plot of this film is ten years after her sister is cursed and locked away in a mental asylum for killing there wizard parents a young girl must now fight to survive when her sister breaks out and vows to kill her on there birthday. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad with the films plot being barely watchable at best as the plot of the film is just so thinly drawn out that at times it was hard to make out what the actual plot of this film is even meant to be in the first place heck the plot of any Asylum film is much more better then the plot of this film as they at least try to put effort into there plots where as this is film is best described as being Harry Potter meets Wicked but lame with it being made clear as day that the makers of this film are just hoping that people will confuse this film with Wicked and therefor they chose not to give the film a plot that works which is a ashame as on paper this is a plot that really could have worked it just needed a creative that actually cared about it enough to make it work and not be the mess of a plot that it ultimately ends up being with the films plot barely a strong plot to support a film it just needed a few more passes at the script writing stage to make it all the more better then then what it currently is as right now in it's present form this films plot is laughable at best and downright boring and insulting at it's worst with the plot of this film also not really being really rather entertaining and nor is it really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Rebecca Rose McILroy as Maret , Christopher Blackmore as Gorwin and Nicola Ditter as Aymer. Also starring in this film is Clara Legallais-Moha as Desielle , Brynmor Leyshon as Udor , Alesia Lifantii as Ibees , Graeme Muncer as Edwin , Lynne O'Sullivan as Ms. Thinner , Laryssa Ivy Pereira as Vestelle , Sophie Rankin as Aradia , Serena-Elizabeth as Phelorna , Mary Eva Sharp as Ena and Karolina Wojciechowska as Sabrina.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually feature / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad. With this being due to the fact that all of this films actors are a bunch of really unknown and very cheap to get actors and therefor expecting good or even decent quality acting from them wouldn't have been the smartest of movies but in saying that that you do expect OK acting even from a cheaply made British Indie film such as this one and yet we barely get that in this film as whilst this films actors are indeed trying there best this is a case where there best just isn't good enough as alot of them are wooden and robotic at best with alot of them barely having any kind of emotion in scenes where they should have lots of emotion with the best actor in this film being quite easily Rebecca Rose McIlroy as Maret as she's the only one that looks like she's actually having fun in this film with her chewing up all of the scenery in every single scene that she's in and whilst it really does look like that the green paint used to make her skin look green is coming off half of the time you can tell that she's really having a blast playing this more deranged version of Elphaba with the acting that's in this film not really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does help to hurt the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.  

This film does include something new from the writer of Fairest Of Them All that being the use of magic. However tho he forgot to do one very simple thing and that's explain how magic works in this world as according to this film anyone can be witch or wizard with it not being explained if they are born with there powers or if they train to get them or what having powers means for the rest of the world heck Wizards Of Waverly Place a kids TV show from almost two decades ago explained the ules of magic better in there show then what writer Harry Boxley does in his movie with even the big thing that's meant to stop magic from being used in the first place just being called anti-magic which is just a lame and uncreative name for something like that and they don't explain what anti-magic is either look granted with any fantastical film you have to be able to suspend your disbelief or else the film falls apart but you still need to ground your film in some of logic for that work and this is something that the makers of the film don't do with them just throwing everything at the wall and expecting us the audience not to question it when all that does is cause us to hit our heads so hard from questioning what it is that we're even seeing in the first place yet at the same time tho the film does indeed get some of credit for at least trying to include CGI which granted does look a little bit wonky but that's to be expected given the fact that this film had the budget of a shoelace which would have meant that the films effects budget would be even smaller but alot of the time the spells that the characters are casting look like there not even hitting the person that there meant to be hitting and they also look like that there floating just near the person and not outright hitting them.

It's pretty obvious both from the films title and the fact that the main villain of the film is a witch with green skin that this is film is meant to be a knock off of the 2024 film Wicked. However it lacks all of the basics to t least make this film a film that's so bad that it's good with the film not being entertaining to watch in the first place and nothing about the film is explained at all and heck the film is even a year out to cash in fully on the Wicked phenomena to The Asylum's credit when they do a knock off film they at the very least release it a few days or weeks before the film that there knocking off comes out with them also being alot more subtler then this film as to what it is that there knocking off in the first place where as here the makers of this film just outright tell you on the films poster that this is going to be a horror version of Wicked only without any of the good songs put in it and what's worse is that this is a film that could have worked as a knock off film if they did just two things the first of which being if they released this film alot more closer to the release date of Wicked and not the release date of Wicked: For good and the second of which being if they went all in on what it was that they were knocking off in the first place which they very easily could have done given the fact that The Wizard Of Oz is in the public domain and heck there even releasing a horror version of the book soon as well both of which would have made this film not only more enjoyable to watch as while yes it still would have been a really bad film but it at the very least would have been a film that's so bad that it's good and it also would tricked more people into buying this film for there kids so they would have made more money off of it and heck they could have released it into theaters as well to make a little bit more money of the film.

Like alot of badly done British independent films this film just looks cheap which granted the makers of the film really cold help with. As they do have a very tine budget but at the same time tho it would have helped your film out alot if there was some effort and some thought put into making it look good as films like Popeye The Slayer Man do prove that you can be a small knock off film but still have some actual effort put into it as alot of the shots in this film just look bland and lifeless with there not being alot of color to the film which makes the film look ugly and while granted the makers of this film were more then likely just using whatever material they could find at the time as a way to save money which would be fair enough there still needs to be some creativity in what kind of shots that your getting as in this film we only mostly get static shots where the camera doesn't move with alot of the shots being mid close up shots and that's really it and yet the odd time where we do get some creative it really does stand out as we do get some drone shots which look good and the odd times where the camera does move goes a long way into making this film feel like an actual film and something that some friends made and put up on Youtube and yet the fact that the makers of this film mostly went with the cheaper option instead of trying new things all it does is make this film look even more bland then what it is in the first place when this is film that due to it's subject matter of witchcraft does allow you do some creative shots and if the makers of this film gave the film some color instead mostly keeping it blue or grey it would have made the film alot more pleasant to watch with the film even having peach at the start of the film which was nice but it did also look a little big off putting as well. 

Merit as a villain is just your typical horror villain with nothing new added to her outside of the fact that she's a witch. With her big thing in this film being the fact that she wants to get revenge on her sister for having her locked up in a mental asylum for ten years which is a decent and with the fact that due to the curse that her sister put upon her ten years ago she now only gets pleasure from killing members of her own family which would be in an interesting thing to have in the film if he film bothered to develop that aspect of her character at all as nothing about her character gets explained as we don't get to see the bond between Merit and her sister Aradia isn't established all that well as when the film starts we see Merit getting turned into the green skinned witch that she stays like for the rest of the film with her staying evil for the rest of the film when it would have been all the more tragic if we saw them as normal sisters at the start of the film as then it would have made it all the tragic when Aradia has to kill her sister at the end of the film and while Merit is a really fun character to watch in the film the rest of the films characters are just as bland and just as boring as you'd expect from writer Harry Boxley as all of the characters that he seems to create feel just as dull and lifeless as the films that he writes for as there is nothing to this films characters that make them standout from each other with the only thing that makes Gorwin stand out from all of the other characters is the fact that he's a male and that's it and heck Aradia is so boring as a protagonist that I had to rewatch bits of the film again just to get her name as she's that dull of a character.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and eleven minuets and fifty six seconds. Which is a fairly decent running time for this film to last as it's a film that really doesn't need that long of a running time to tell it's already really thinly drawn out story in the first place with this film having just about the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time in the first place with the film not even using what extremely limited running time that it has in the first place to fully develop it's plot in the first with it feeling like that things are just happening for the sake of it and not because of the fact that the plot demands and heck Merit even kills people that aren't apart of her bloodline which goes against what little character that she has in the first place with the film not even developing it's characters either as all of the films characters come across as being very one dimensional characters as all of them having nothing interesting about them with this is even being true for Merit who despite being the best character in the film is just a dull and boring character to watch in the film albeit she's not as bad as the rest of the films characters as there was some effort into making her an entertaining character where as all of the rest of the films characters are dull and boring characters with this being something that could have been fixed if the makers of this film actually put in some effort into making sure that both it's plot and characters were well done instead of making sure that we knew this was a Wicked knock off film but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a horror film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this films kills not really being that creative as they all involve Merit using her powers to cast some sort of spell and that's really it and while that is to be expected given then fact that the main villain of this film is a witch but at the same time tho it would have been nice to see a verity of the types of kills that we got in this film as that would have given us the chance to see just how creative that Merit could be as a killer whereas only seeing one type of kill only limits the types of kills that we can see in the film with there not really being a best kill in the film as there all just bland kills that sound great on paper but due to the films incredibly small budget with all of this films kills being very limited in what they can look like due to how small that the budget is as they all involve some really bad looking effects that don't look like that there causing harm to anyone and yet when a film is a bit a witch as the main villain then there really should have been a lot more thought into what they could do with this films tiny budget as the films budget does nothing for the films kills this is despite the fact that having a witch as the main villain is something that has worked before in something like The Craft for example and yet here it felt like that idea was undercooked with the films kills really suffering because of it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  

Overall does it really need saying at this point in the review as this film really is a dreadful film and one that does deserve to not be seen by anyone as it's just a dull and boring film that is nothing more then a cheaply made knock off of Wicked and that's really it as that's all there is to this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 1 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Tenor , IMP Awards .
