Tales From The Crypt: Only Sin Deep Review

When people typically think of comic book shows they more then likely think of action shows like The Flash or Agents Of Shield for example. Yet what alot of them don't know is that here was a comic book show in the late eighties that wasn't based of anything Marvel or DC and infact it wasn't an action show at all it was a horror show and after some time putting of doing a review from one of this shows episodes I thought that now was the right time to sit down and check out an episode of this show and so then join me as I review the episode that proves that Marty Mcfly's mum will still be beautiful in her later years with the episode in question being called simply just "Only Sin Deep" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when a young beauty dreams of live away from the streets she discovers somethings are more valuable then money and fame. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode 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 episode was in all honesty really good. As it's not really a plot that you see played out at all which does in turn make the plot of this episode feel alot more unpredictable as you don't really know where the episode is going to be going with it's plot but at the same time tho this episodes plot isn't really that well developed with it being hard to tell what the main plot of the episode even is alot of the time as the episode doesn't really give it's central plot alot of attention but when it does that's when the episode gets to be alot more interesting as it's only the kind of story that could work in a horror themed comic book show as it's to out there for a normal horror show and to scary for a comic book show but when you combine the two together that's when you get the perfect home for a plot like this one to exist and heck this episodes plot is so good that it could even be argued that the film The Substance borrowed it's plot from this episode as the two of them do share a very similar plot line with the only difference being one of them was made for theaters and therefor could be more scary with it's plot and ideas and one was made for TV and really couldn't do as much as it could have done given it's very limited budget with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this episode is Lea Thompson as Sylvia Vane , Britt Leach as The Pawnbroker and Brett Cullen as Ronnie Price. Also starring in this episode is Pamella D'Pella as Raven , G. Smokey Campbell as Smitty , Burke Byrnes as Cop , Matthew Faison as A Doctor , Pamela Gordon as The Old Crone , Pamela West as The Date , Barry Thompson as The Doorman and John Kassir as The voice of The Crypt Keeper.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode 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 episode was in all honesty really good. With alot of this episodes shockingly turning in some really good performances in this episode which is shocking because of the fact that alot of this episodes actors are a bunch of really unknown actors with really the only big name in this whole entire episode being Lea Thompson and even then she's not that big of a name and as such it would have been foolish to expect good performances from this episodes actors and yet that's exactly what they give us with alot of this episodes actors turning in some really good performances in this episode and while it would have been super easy to say that John Kassir is the best actor in this whole episode as he does appear in all of the episodes plus all but one of the movies from this franchise the episodes best actor quite clearly has to be Lea Thompson as this episodes proves that even when she's not in any of the Back To The Future movies she was and still is a good actor in her own right and one that really could have made it big if she really wanted to with this episode being proof of that as even tho we are so used to seeing her in more comedic roles here she has to play everything straight and may god does she do it well with her performance being a really solid performance in this episode with the acting that's in this episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that al this episodes have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which s something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

The key theme to this episode is one that not only still holds up to this very day but also one that kids today could stand to learn as the key theme of this episode is as the title says that beauty if only skin deep. Something which we see all throughout the episode as the character of Sylvia is always looking at herself in the mirror and is always putting on make up to make herself look all the more beautiful then what she already is and when her beauty from her perspective starts to fade she views herself as being ugly and old this is something that due to the invention of social media kids today are going through as there being told time and again by various social media influencers that there not good looking enough unless they have there recent products and merch so much so that kids today are starting to view themselves as being ugly with this episodes key theme being something that they could stand to learn as much like Sylvia herself learns the hard way beauty is only skin deep and while that's a very cliche thing to say it's also true and that's something that is done really well in this episode and it's done well because of the fact that it's subtle thing and it's something that Sylvia herself doesn't learn as she is lost without her beauty as she saw that as her way to top and a way to get rich and famous something which due to advent of reality TV shows alot of people not just kids but people in general are trying to do as that's a very easy way to get famous but unless you have the skills to back it up fame and fortune does sadly alot of the time come at high a cost and while this episodes theme could have been handled a little bit better there's no denying the fact that's a theme that is just a relevant today as it was back when this episode first aired in 1989.

For those of you who are unaware this show is based off the comic book of the same name Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein with the series adapting stories from other EC Comics comic books like The Haunt of Fear, The Vault of Horror, Crime SuspenStories , Shock SuspenStories and Two-Fisted Tales. With this episode in particular being adapted from issue twenty four of The Haunt Of Fear which featured artwork by story artist Jack Kamen while it is hard to say if the book is the better version of the story or if this episode is the better version of the story the fact that a show was more then willing to adapt alot of stories just for one show does say that the makers of this show did care about the stories that they were adapting and while this episode had to get rid of one character from the comic that this story is based on that being The Vault Keeper it's of no lose to the story as he basically fills in the exact same role as The Crypt Keeper does in this show with this show really showing us that there are alot of comic book adaptions out there that do cover alot of different genres of film ranging from light hearted comedies to horror and while this show is a horror show it is a show that as far as I can tell did adapt it's stories mostly faithfully even down to having each episode create a comic book exclusive cover done i the style of how they were done in the original comics and whilst it is hard to say if this episode is faithful to the original story what can be said is that this episode does a good job of making you want to read the original story which in turn might make you want to check out other comic books from EC Comics as well.

If there's a few places where this episode is lacking then surely one of them has to be that you can tell that this has the budget of a TV show. As even tho the show has this all star dream of producers all of whom we're able to get some fairly big names both attached to star in the episodes and direct them the look of the main portion of this episode does look cheap which is of course of no fault of the episode as the people who made this episode could only do the best with what little that they had but it's clear as day that they spent alot more money on The Crypt Keeper puppet and in making sure that that looked good and not the rest of the episode which is fair enough as the puppet is going to be the main start of the show in the first place so it does make sense to make sure that that character looks the best that he could have dine but at the same time tho there still should have been some effort into making the rest of the episode look as good as both the opening and closing scenes of the episode do as the episode goes from looking like something that should be on the big screen to looking like something that feels right at home in a TV show and when you have producers like Richard Donner , Robert Zemeckis and Joel Silver all of whom are known for making these big budgeted movies and having these greats actors in them it feels weird seeing them work on a show where the episodes don't look as good as they could have been and while this could be a budget thing as they would have had to stretch this shows budget out over in this case six episodes it is still something that makes this episode look cheap and while yes granted tho you don't really need that big of a budget in order to tell the story of this episode there still could have been some effort into making the episode look like a feature film and not like that it belongs in an episode of a TV show.

The other thing that does let this episode down a little bit is the fact that Sylvia is revealed to be a pretty horrid person far to early. With this being something that would have helped the episode out quite bit if it was revealed slowly over the course of the episode and yet within the first five minuets of meeting the character we see her shoot and kill a random pimp for his jewelry whereas if we had no idea where she got it from in the first place but then over the cause of the episode saw her go more and more insane as her once famous beauty started to fade it would then be all the more shocking when she does kill her rich boyfriend Ronnie as we would have gotten the chance to like her as a character and yet because of the fact that the makers of this show chose to show her willingly kill someone near the start of the episode and then continue act in brattish type of manor it now means that we the audience aren't all that surprised when she does kill someone that she supposedly loves as it's something that we've seen her do before and while yes her reasons for doing so have indeed changed as before she was doing because she wanted to get something done and now she's doing it out of a need to pay someone back the money that she owes them it still doesn't change the fact that this is something that should have been handled differently as now we the audience aren't all that surprised when she does commit these crimes which yes might be the point of the episode but it's also not a good way to tell a story as you still want your audience to feel sorry for the main character and yet that can't happen because of the fact that we've seen her kill two people.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty seven minuets and eighteen seconds. Which to be fair to this episode is pretty much the exact bogstandard running time of this shoe to begin with with the episode even having more then plot there to really cover that amount of running time as well but in saying that this episode also doesn't use it's running time all that wisely either as the plot of the episode really doesn't feel like it' being developed all that well with this mainly due to the fact that outside of the main episode the episode also has to fit in two segments with The Crypt Keeper with one at the start of the episode and the other at the end of the episode but because of that the episodes plot and themes do feel a little weightless as we don't get to see Sylvia struggle for very long with the fact that she's loosing the one thing that she thinks is most important to her which is her looks as that is something that could have been an interesting thing to include in the episodes plot with the episode not even giving it's characters alot of development with Sylvia's friend Raven just straight up disappearing from the episode so when she appears at the end and now doesn't recognize Sylvia due to the events of this episode you straight up forget that the character even existed in the first place and while the character of Sylvia is a fairly well done she does come across as being fairly one note all of the time which fair enough might be the point of the character but it also doesn't make that interesting of a character and Ronnie and The Pawnshop Owner might as well not even be characters as there's nothing to there characters at al with the only interesting thing about The Pawnshop Owner being the fact that he's doing something with the beauty that he takes rom girls and that's really it but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a horror episode that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I i all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. As even tho this episode has nothing all that scary about it and even the episode only has two kills which are at best OK as there just two people getting shot in the chest what makes this episode scary is it's central idea with that being the best piece of horror in the episode as the very idea of someone who is willing to go to these extreme lengths to not only become rich and famous in the first place but then also go to extremer lengths to keep her now fading beauty in the first place is something that does make this episode creepy as while there's nothing about outright scary about that idea it is a creepy enough idea that it does make the episode all the more scary because and heck the idea itself is so scary that it was outright copied in The Substance as both this episode and that film deal with someone who is trying to keep there beauty alive and well the only difference being that that film has alot more gore in it where as this episode has to rely on the idea itself being strong enough and creepy enough to keep us the audience not only invested but also scared and that's something that this episode does really well as the idea really is a creepy idea in it's own that we the audience have no other choice but to be invested as we really want to see just how it all ends for this character which is something that this episode really does get right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall if you like actor Lea Thompson then this is an episode that's worth watching as she really is good in this episode but at the same time tho this is episode isn't that good of an episode despite it being a great way to get people into watching this show as it's not got alot of horror elements in it and therefor it's more then likely to get more people watching it and that will hopefully get them into horror as well 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 episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all o 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 the official Tales From The Crypt fandom wiki page , Tenor and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this episode being the official Tales From The Crypt fandom wiki page simply because the official Tales From The Crypt fandom wiki page actually has images from this episode really are up and on the official tales From The Crypt fandom wiki page and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official Tales From The Crypt fandom wiki page 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.

I Know What You Did Last Summer 2025 Film SPOILER FILLED Film Review

Legacy sequels or requels are now vastly becoming more and more popular in the world of horror as while it could be argued that Halloween 2018 started this trend it's actually something that started either in the eighties or the early nineties with films from the A Nightmare On Elm Street series. However it wasn't until Halloween 2018 or even Scream 2022 that they started to become more and more popular with the film that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today being the latest to get the legacy sequel treatment which is fitting as the original film is basically a clone of the first Scream film and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the film that ignores the third film in this series with the film in question being called simply just "I Know What You Did Last Summer" enjoy.

The plot of this film is one year after they accidentally cause a car to fall off of a cliff a group of friends find themselves being stalked by someone who knows there dirty little secret. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that'd 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 as it is just the typical plot that you'd expect from this series with there not really being anything new added to it and while that appease people who perhaps haven't seen the original film those that did see it and love it will find the plot of this film to be repetitive like it's hitting all of the same notes of the first film and while appealing to newer fans is great as this is a franchise that isn't that well known in the first place the makers of this film had to know that alot of the people who are going to see this film are the people that have seen the original film hundreds of times and therefor throwing in something new to the plot will keep them invested and also have them wondering what's going to happen next where as the people that didn't see the original film will like this films plot as is and while the plot of this film isn't that well drawn out to the films credit it doesn't really need to be as it just needs to give you the basic premise and that's really it and that's all we get from this film from a plot perspective with the plot of this film also 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 Madelyn Cline as Danica Richards , Chase Sui Wonders as Ava Brucks and Jonah Hauer-King as Milo Griffin. Also starring in this film is Tyriq Withers as Teddy Spencer , Sarah Pidgeon as Stevie Ward , Billy Campbell as Grant Spencer , Gabbriette Bechtel as Tyler Trevino , Scooby-Doo and Star Wars Rebels star Freddie Prinze Jr. as Ray Bronson and Jennifer Love Hewitt as Julie James.

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 not that bad. As alot of this films actors do indeed turn in some really good performances in this film which is both shocking and yet at the same time not all that surprising as apart from the two returning actors the biggest named star in this movie is Jonah Hauer-King and even then he's not that big of a named star as his only real big role with as The Prince in Disney live action remake of The Little Mermaid with the rest of this films actors being at best very little known actors and therefor it would have been completely foolish to expect some really good performances from any of this films more lesser known actors and yet that's exactly what we get from them as they all manage to turn in some passable performances that are alot more better then what you'd expect them to be with the best two actors in this whole entire film being both Jennifer Love Hewitt as Julie James and Freddie Prinze Jr. as Ray Bronson with them both managing to slip right back into character almost as if they just got through playing them the first time around with it being clear as day that both actors even have some really great chemistry together that makes it easier to buy them as life long best friends as well 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 lower the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the CGI for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Spin VFX , Stage 23 and Foy. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as for a horror fil this film does have some pretty impressive looking CGI in it with one of which being a huge spoiler and the other really note worthy effect being the fact that we see over the cliff near the start of the film which is something that the makers of the film pretty much would have to have done as your not going to have alot of your main actors near something where they could fall down and die for real and therefor doing it as an effect was pretty much the only way that you could do it and while the spoiler effect is a good idea it's also one that was done alot more better in Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl as without going into spoilers about the effect itself is it is one that does look a little bit cartoonish for the more grounded and realistic tone that this film was quite clearly going with the film even having some CGI blood in it which never looks good in any film and it doesn't look good but those two bad effects don't bring down the overall quality of the films effects as while yes granted alot of this films CGI could have looked alot more better then what it already does given the fact that this film had a modest budget of eighteen million American dollars this film wouldn't have had a huge effects budget and therefor this films effects where never going to look that great in the first place.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you thought that Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt where the only two actors from previous films to reprise their roles then you'd be mistaken as we also get Sarah Michelle Gellar as Helen Shivers and Brandy Norwood as Karla Wilson. With Brady appearing in this films post credits scene and Sarah Michella Gellar appearing in a dream sequence near the end of the film to be frank whilst it was nice seeing Sarah Michelle Gellar and Brandy pop up in this film there appearances really didn't add anything to the film as Brandy's scenes is basically there to tease a sequel and Sarah's scene is just there for the sake of being there with her scene feeling like the makers of this film where trying to copy why Scream 2022 and Scream VI did with Skeet Ulrich's scenes only they don't go all the way as in those Scream movies they at least make the main character of that movie be related to him thus giving them a familial connection where as here Helen just appears in this one dream scene to this random girl and does nothing in it as she doesn't give her any kind of advice on how to defeat this killer or anything she just appears says a few random things and then turns into a skeleton at the end of it and that's it which does feel like a waste of the character and of the actress who most likely only agreed to the role because her husband is also coming back in it as well as you could cut her cameo out from the film and you'd miss nothing that's actually important to the plot of the film where as with the Brandy cameo it at least happens after the movie is finished and is just meant to be something fun and that's really it and that's all both of these cameos should have been a fun tip of the hat to the past whilst also guiding the franchise forward for new audiences and older audiences alike as well.

Look to be frank this film does something that is going to make alot of long time fans of this franchise pretty angry and that's the fact that they make Ray someone who was the good guy in the first two movies one of the killers in this movie. As yes this film has two killers with the films other killer being new character Stevie Ward with her motive being that the person that the group accidentally killed at the start of the film being someone who was a friend of hers in rehab and since in her eyes they took everything away from her she wanted to get revenge on them by killing them all and with Ray his motive is that the town is moving on from the events of the first film and he feels that that shouldn't do that with only Stevie's motives being the only one that makes sense as she was out for revenge for loosing someone that she cared about and was even willing to let Ava live as she originally wanted to go to the police with it being made clear as day that this film is nothing more then a Scream 2022 clone which makes sense as this whole franchise is nothing more then a Scream clone but even so Scream 2022 at least did something that's actually shocking with the Dewey character by having him be killed off by ne of the films killers as having a legacy character who has survive not one but two attacks by this killer then turn out to be one of the killers in this film only screams that the makers of this film didn't care about the franchise and this is coming from someone who isn't a fan of this franchise and has only bits and pieces if all three films and nothing of the TV show yet it should be pretty obvious that you treat your legacy characters with respect as those are the characters that people are coming to see and not the newer characters and by having one of them turn out to be the killer not only doesn't make sense for that character but it's also something that could quite possibly make alot of the fans of the franchise angry indeed.

While the characters of Ray and Julie do feel like there old selves the same thing cannot be said for alot of this films more newer characters. With alot of them being just very bland and one note characters with almost all of them having next to nothing inters of a personality with the only two characters that are somewhat memorable are Stevie and Ava and that's really it and while it is understandable that you want to make both the villain and heroine of the film memorable characters you also have to make the supporting characters memorable as well as that makes the main characters all the more better because of it and yet it's something that the makers of this film don't do as there more banking on this film being hit due to it's name rather then actually being that good of a film yet if the makers of this film bothered to make characters like Danica or Milo memorable characters then it would make the film come across as being all the more better because of it as even with both Stevie and Ava there's nothing that's all that memorable about this films characters out side of the fact that one of them as one of the villains and the other is one of the films final girls and that's really it and while yes slasher film don't typically give alot of there characters anything memorable that was only a trope in the eighties and when we got to the nineties alot of slasher films did make an effort to make there supporting characters just as memorable as the main characters with the best of example of this again being the original Scream where main character Sidney Prescott had a memorable group of friends where they were all memorable characters even tho two of them turned out to be the main villains of that film and it's something that makes you wonder why the makers of this film didn't bother to make the newer characters memorable as even tho they already have a plan for the sequel they absolutely need to create memorable characters that really can carry the franchise forward should Jennifer Love Hewitt decide not to come back for another sequel.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and forty two minuets and forty eight seconds. Which to be fair is a perfectly solid running time for a film to have with this film even having more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time however with all of that said tho this film really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as while the plot is as strong as it's ever going to be given it's set up and premise it's not one that's that well developed as the plot especially in the beginning does feel like that it's fast forward alot of the time with us the audience not really getting the chance to get to know these characters before they accidentally kill someone and then it just feels like things are happening for random reasons rather then the plot demanding that they happen like for example there's no need for them to go and seek out Julie and Ray in this movie and yet because the plot needs those characters in the story that's exactly what happens even tho the events of the film would play out the exact same way if those characters didn't appear in the film with this even effecting the films characters as all of this films characters including it's returning characters aren't that well developed as the makers of this film quite clearly didn't put alot of time and focus into making sure that they got the development that they needed due to the fact that the plot of the film for that those opening few minuets is moving so fast that we don't get alot of time to get to know the new characters and then after that there's no scenes where the characters just sit and talk and therefor they don't get the chance to be that well developed as characters and while with the returning characters you obviously have the first movies for there development so you don't really need to develop hem as characters all that much the same thing cannot be said for the films new characters but I really will admit that this film really does have some really bad pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a slasher 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 this films kills being the most entertaining aspect of the film even tho there is quite alot of CGI blood featured all throughout this film most notably in the scene where Sarah Michelle Gellars character appears it doesn't stop the fact that alot of this films kills as simple as they are are also the most entertaining aspect of the film with it being hard to say what the best kill of the film even is as all of them are really simple kills that aren't that creative and yet despite this film still does manage to have some really fun kills in it but if I were pushed i'd say that the best kill in the film is quite easily the death of Teddy as we see him get slashed by The Fisherman not far from his home but it doesn't stop there as he does try to make it back home to his parents but with alot of the steps that he takes The Fisherman stabs him with him only being a few centimeters away from home before The Fisherman drags him away and it's only then that his dad notices that something's wrong and goes outside to check on him before then getting killed off himself which is something that does make that kill the best kill in the whole entire film with alot of the films kills being some really good kills as well in there own right it's just that that one had also more going for it then it does against it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall while this film is currently making alot of money at the box office that doesn't make it a good film and while all of the films in this franchise have got low scores on IMDb this film just feels heartless and soulless as it has iconography there but it doesn't understand what it was that made all of those elements work so well in the first place 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 the official I Know What You Did Last Summer fandom wiki page , Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official I Know What You Did Last Summer fandom wiki page simply because the official I Know What You Did Last Summer fandom wiki page actually has images from this film really are up and on the official I Know What You Did Last Summer fandom wiki page and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official I Know What You Did Last Sumer fandom wiki page 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.

M3Gan 2.0 Film SPOILER FREE Film Review

There are just some horror sequels that the second that they get announced you straight away get excited for them. With the film that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today being one such a film as I make it no secret that i'm a huge of M3Gan so much so that i'm already planning on getting this film on DVD just so that I can add it to my very small M3Gan film collection and i'm already really excited for next years spin off film SoulM8te and so then join me as I give you my spoiler free review of the film that sees M3Gan go from villain to hero with the film in question being called simply just "M3GAN 2.0" enjoy.

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 to give us a good performance giving us exactly that but that's also the films biggest flaw when it's comes to it's acting as we know what kind of performances that these actors are going to be giving us and there it's not all that surprising when they give us exactly that kind of performance and really nothing more then that and while the actors in this film quite clearly aren't phoning in their performance as there is actual effort from all of this films actors it does make the acting in this film feel somewhat predictable with the best actor in this film being both Amie Donald and Jenna Davis as they both really do own the role of M3GAN in both of these movies with Amie physically playing her and Jenna of course doing her voice with both them being merged together so perfectly that you'd swear that she was being played by one actor and while Ivanna Sakhno does indeed turn in a good performance as AMELIA it feels like that she's having trouble when she's acting against the returning stars from the first film with it being clear as day that this films writer and director Gerard Johnstone was quite clearly having trouble with trying to get a good performance out of all of his actors in this film this is despite him proving that he can do so in the previous film 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 lower the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

For once it's actually quite hard to tell just who did the CGI for this film as there are no effects companies listed anywhere on the films IMDB page. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as this films CGI is pretty decent looking in places with the film making some solid use of a fully CGI M3GAN and AMELIA in some shots with the CGI mainly being used to make them look a little bit more robotic and that's really it with the effects also being used to extend certain parts of certain sets which is a great way to use CGI as it proves that the makers of this film are only CGI to create things that you can't possibly create for real and because of that this films effects will take a little whole before they start of show there age as alot of what you see in this film was done for real and that will always look better then anything created inside of a computer and while yes granted some of the CGI set extensions do look obviously fake that was always going to be the case no matter what with alot of this film being done for real and only using CGI when they need to instead of using it whenever they want to which is something that sadly alot of films seem to do these days with the most recent example that comes mind being THAT Snow White remake from Disney where nearly everything was done in CGI where as here in this film because so little CGI is actually used it does make it hard to tell what was CGI and what was done for real as even the robots bodies do look like that they were done for real even tho they were most likely done inside of a computer.

While the whole idea of this film turning into a full blown action movie does oddly work for this franchise. As it could be argued that the finale to the previous film was very action heavy and less horror focused that film did at least give us a memorable villain in M3GAN where as here the closest thing that we have to a villain that's not a massive spoiler is AMELIA with her character basically just being a poor man's version of M3GAN which is something that does oddly enough make sense as the character was born from people using the blueprints for M3GAN but from a film point of view it doesn't make that much sense as all your doing is reminding your audience of much more better character as the only thing that AMELIA didn't take from M3GAN was her wicked sense of humor with her character feeling like a copy of the T-X robot from Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines as the character has next to nothing that's actually interesting about her character with it being like that she's just doing things for the sake of doing them and not because she herself has some grand plan and heck the real villain of the movie isn't even AMELIA it's another character all together with there motive being that they hate AI and all of it's uses and so want to destroy the world so that it can't be created with them even planning to use M3GAN and AMELIA as the fall guys by setting them up as the ones being responsible for all of the crimes in this film which is a decent enough plan and having them try to set up the AI as the falls guys is a good idea but at the same time it' one that's not dumb enough for this movie as this is the kind of movie where the more dumber the plan is the better that it would fit in with the overall tone of the movie.

Whilst the first film was more of a horror comedy that it was a straight up a horror film this film now adds action into the mix. With the films action not really being all that bad but it might be a case of the film trying to be two many things instead of just trying to be the two things that it was in the first film as the film can't have that many good action scenes in it as it has to fit in alot some kills and it can't have that many kills because of the fact that it has to fit alot of jokes where as if the film just focused of being two of those things then it would be able to do alot more and would come as being all the more better because of it and yet the action scenes that this film does have are some really fun action scenes with the makers of this film really taking advantage of the fact that there having two robots just go out at by having them do things that no human would be able to do which is something that does make this films action all the more fun to watch as by all rights this films action should have been all that good as the first film wasn't an action film and so it would seem out of place for this film to suddenly become an action film and yet it oddly works because of how insane that this films gets and while this film won't appease the same TikTok crowd that helped to make the first film such a good film in the first place that doesn't mean that the film doesn't have fun with it as the film does have some really fun action scenes with the best example of this being the films third act which is just pure fun to watch and is easily the best action scene in the whole entire film as we get to really see just what these two robots can do when there's nothing holding them back which is something that well always make for a really fun action scene.

While this film does have some funny moments in it with both Gemma and M3GAN both having some really good quips in this film. It's missing that social commentary that the first film has as the first film quite literally opened up with an advert about how you can replace a dead dog with toy that will make you happy and yet here there's none of that with the characters going from saying that AI is bad one minuet to praising the next which is a very topical thing to say but at the same time the film does noting with that as it doesn't show show the plus sides and the downsides of either argument it just takes them on at face value and while it could be argued that AMELIA and M3GAN do represent those sides of the argument which would be a fair thing to say the film still does nothing with that argument and it doesn't poke fun at things like the first film would have done which is odd as the trailers for this film made it look lie that the film was going to do exactly that with M3GAN even referring to herself as b*tch in several pieces of marketing and yet in the film she really doesn't do that at all which would have been great to show that AI can learn and grow instead of just be a piece of code designed to do whatever it is that we tell it to do and while the first film was also quite lite on social commentary as well it at least knew that it wasn't that good of a film and so embraced it's more campy nature by poking fun at things where as here this film feels like that it's taking itself a bit two seriously and feels like that the makers of this film thought that they were making a piece of serious art which in turn caused it to loose that extra special something that made the first film not only stand out but also be so good because of it.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty two minuets and forty one seconds. Which to be fair to this film is pretty much the exact grand total running time that the first film had also with this film even just about having the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time but this film really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as the plot of the film despite it being a very well done plot in it's own right is one thats not really all that well developed as the film doesn't really spend alot of time on focusing on it's plot and yet when it does that's when the plot of the film does get interesting but because of the fact that the film now has to fit in action scenes as well as both jokes and horror it means that the plot of the film can't be as well developed as it could have been and while the same thing was also true for the first film as well here tho the makers of this film had the chance to learn from the mistakes of that film and actively chose not do so with the film not even taking the time to fully develop it's characters as while the films returning characters do come off slightly better in this regard that's more due to the fact that they got there development in the previous film and therefor don't really need to be that well developed in this film with the characters that do suffer because of this being the films newer characters as there's nothing all that memorable about this new characters with the only two memorable character being Christian and AMELIA and that's it as the rest of them are just bland and boring characters but I really will admit that this film really did 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 kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With the film following the same path that it followed in the theatrical cut of the first film with the film not really showing us the kills instead cutting away just before the kill actually happens which is something that really does for this franchise as it's blatantly meant to be a horror film that the TikTok crowd can like and while that worked for the first film because of the fact that M3GAN had the dance scene here there's nothing that will grab onto and because of that it makes the fact that they cut away from alot of the kills feel pointless as the crowd that there trying appease again won't be watching and so who does that leave you with and that's the due hard horror fans who actually want to see the kills and while this film will most likely show off it's kills in it's home media release much like what the first film did but to be fair even with that mind the film does have some really good kills in it but sadly as nearly all of them feature the AMELIA character none of them can be discussed in this review as there spoilers that show off just how deadly she is as robot with her even being the one to get pretty much all of the films kills which is something that does work well within the confides of the film with all of the films kills looking really good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall if you have the choice between going to see this film and going to see F1 The Movie then go and see F1 The Movie as it's the much more better of the two films but this film is the much more fun and campy of the two films and while this film might not be really as good as the first film we won't have long to wait for the next installment as the spin off film SoulM8te is due out in January with this film being a fun filled film that's not as good as as what the first film was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now the 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 6.5 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 the official M3GAN fandom wiki page , Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official M3GAN fandom wiki page simply because the official M3GAN fandom wiki page actually has images from this film really are up and on the official M3GAN fandom wiki page and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official M3GAN fandom wiki page 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.

28 Years Later Film SPOILER FILLED Film Review

Sequels while they can be a good thing if there done right sadly alot of them are done wrong because of the fact that the makers of those films are rushed into making them. This is thankfully not the case with this film as the last film to come out from this franchise was 28 Weeks Later which was released back in 2007 and yet it's only now that we're finally getting a new film but on top of that is the fact that we're getting another sequel film released in January of next year as well and so then join me as I give my SPOILER FILLED review of the film that has some one from London doing a Gerodie accent with the film in question being called simply just "28 Years Later" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when a young boy and his mother go the mainland to find a doctor to help cure the mother the two of them discover horrors beyond there imagination. 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 im 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 as it was a decent plot that gave us alot of what we'd come to expect from the zombie genre however that's also the problem as when the first film came out there weren't being many zombie films made and yet now there are dozens of them every year and so this is a plot that should have worked and would have worked five or ten years ago but due to how many zombie films there are now it's a plot that does for the most part feel tired and worn out and while the film's marketing did a very good job of hiding what the actual plot of the film is when it's plot did indeed really get going it not only wasn't hard to work out where it was going but what the vast majority of the next films plot might be as well but to give this film some credit it did do a good job with it's plot by making feel alot more thought out then what it actually was with there being alot of thought put into this films plot which is something that does make alot of sense as this film was written by Alex Garland who is known for writing some really good plots in all of his films with the plot of this film also 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 Alfie Williams as Spike , Jodie Comer as Isla and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Jamie. Also starring in this film is Ralph Fiennes as Dr. Ian Kelson , Edvin Ryding as Erik Sundqvist , Chi Lewis-Parry as Samson , Christopher Fulford as Sam , Amy Cameron as Rosey , Stella Gonet as Jenny , Erin Kellyman as Jimmy Ink , Emma Laird as Jimmima , Maura Bird as Jimmy Jones , Sam Locke as Jimmy Fox , Robert Rose as Jimmy Jimmy , Connor Neal as Jimmy Sh**e , Ghazi Al Ruffai as Jimmy Snake , Sandy Batchelor as Jimmy's Dad and Jack O'Connell as Sir Jimmy Crystal.

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 im 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. Which is something that's not really all that surprising as alot of Danny Boyle films have some really good acting in them no matter what the genre of film is as he's just that good of a director who really does know not only how to cast his actors but also how to geta  good performance out of all of his actors as well with this of course being helped by the fact that alot of this films actors are a bunch of really good actors in their own right even if some of them like Jack O'Connell for example aren't that well known outside of the UK with even this films best actor not even being any of the films more well known actors as it's instead Alfie Williams as Spike who surely must have had a bad back by the end of this film because he and his performance just simply carried this movie so much so that should he choose to continue being an actor then he very well could make it as a big named star as he's just that good not only as an actor but in this film as well with him more then holding his own when it comes to acting opposite bigger named stars like Aaron Taylor-Johnson , Ralph Fiennes and Jodie Comer with this films acting 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 them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

With the first film we very clearly got the idea that the main theme of the film was all about family and what it means to people to keep the family that they have together in a world that forces them to be divided. Well the theme of this film seems to be humanity and the lengths that people will go to to keep it as we see all throughout the film what humanity looks like in this new world where as in the old pre-virus world it would mean doing something nice for a stranger here it could mean going to extreme lengths to make sure that a loved one gets the help that they need or it could mean something more then that with those ideas and themes of humanity being shown all throughout the film and while they don't quite work as good as the theme of the original film as here it felt forced like the makers of this film were trying super hard to work in the humanity aspect that the first film became known and beloved for having but in the first film it felt alot more natural as Jim himself was just trying to see if his own family was OK before then going on this life changing adventure and being forced to find and form a new family with a bunch of total strangers where as here tho that theme of humanity just isn't something that works all that well as that's something that we've seen play out alot in zombie media over the years so much so that when we see it played out here it losses all of the impact that it could have had and while it's not a bad theme to tackle in a zombie movie it's also not one that's done half as good as it could have been given not only who is writing this film but also who is directing it as well as by all rights given just who is making this film and the fact that they have tackled very similar themes and ideas in other movies then it should been a homerun to include it here in this film but it just doesn't work out all that well in this film.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you who are unaware just a few days ago it came out that there is a character in this film who dresses up like known pe*o and creep Jimmy Savile. If you don't know who that is go and look him up but let's just that while it does make sense why a character would be dressed like him since the characters of the mainland are forever trapped in the mid 2000's and it only came to light after his death in the 2010's just how much of a creep that he was it is still something that I can very easily offending both people in general and more importantly the families of those that he hurt an while it would make sense for characters that still think he's a nice guy to dress up like him knowing what we know now about him it does make it odd that the makers of this film would not only go out there way to have not just one but several characters dress up like him but even have a few of those characters also be called Jimmy which while it does help to make it crystal clear that the character of Sir Jimmy Crystal will be the main villain of the next film as even tho he only appears in one scene at the ed of the film there's just something about him that makes him creepy even tho he's acting all friendly to this little kid it still does make you wonder why the makers of this film who would know just how much of a creep that Jimmy Savile was would choose to make a character in this film look exactly like him even if the plan is to make him out to be a villain as all that will do is cause controversy something which is very slowly but surely happening right now and while it might amount to nothing those that do know just how much of an evil person that he was will be just as shocked that there's a character looking exactly like him in this film.

To give this film some credit it does spend alot of time making you think that the film and it's plot will be heading one way before ultimately going another way altogether. As for a good portion of the film we ae just with Spike and his dad Jamie as they venture across the mainland from there small island town with the film making us think that maybe Spike will be kidnapped by someone on the mainland and the dad will have to try ad get him back or something among those lines as the film does show us alot of scenes with them together just trying to kill mutations on the mainland but then they reveal that it's actually going another way by having Spike get into an argument with his dad back home before then secretly sneaking his mother to the mainland so that they can try and find a doctor for her illness which is later revealed to be terminal cancer which is such a great rug pull and is a great way to defy people's expectations as we're all thinking that the film is going to be about the father and son coming together in this harsh landscape but it actually turns out to be about the son learning to cope with the fact that his mother is dying and on top of that the film actually reveals that the mother knew that she was dying all along but chose not to tell Spike because she didn't want to worry him which is something that does track as we see very early on in the film that the two of them do share a bond with Spike even returning home from a party that was thrown for him just so that he can look after her which does make it all the more shocking and upsetting when we see her die as not only had we the audience seen what there bond is like but also because of the fact that the makers of this film chose to make both Isla and Spike some really likable characters in there own right.

What we know for sure is that this film was filmed back to back with the sequel film and while that would normally be a bad thing as it would mean that the first film is usually nothing more then a feature length trailer for the next film. Here it's more to show the fact that characters that played a big role in this film like Spike for example won't be playing that big of a role in the next film and characters who didn't play that big of a role in this film like Jamie might end up playing a bigger role in the next one as both of these films were apparently shot back to back and therefor it would be impossible for the actors to be in two places at once and just going by how good that this film was it does make you wonder how there going to top it in the next one because while there was some pressure for the makers of this film to top what they did in both 28 Days and 28 Weeks that was more due to the passage of time now tho they are not only telling the a continuation of the story from this film but there also making it a direct sequel to this film and making it somewhat of a legacy sequel by having Cillian Murphy apparently come back as Jim as well which does mean that the makers of that film will now be under alot of pressure to make a film that's not only a good film in it's own right but also one that's going to appease the people that have loved these films from day one and hopefully the makers of that film can learn from the mistakes of this film as instead of having a rather generic zombie plot maybe they could have something new and interesting much like how the first film had a new and interesting plot as well and who knows maybe they'll make the Dr. Ian Kelson more interesting as here he doesn't really get to do all that much.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty three minuets and forty two seconds. Which to be fair is close enough to what the first films running time was and so there is a precedent set for this films being as long as they are with it being helped by the fact that this film really does have the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time but at the same time tho this film really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely tho as it doesn't fully develop it's plot enough to the point where you feel anything for these characters and want to see them making it out of this film alive and the film really doesn't develop it's characters all that well either which granted was also true for the first film but that film had one advantage and that was the fact that we were seeing this new world and these characters through the eyes of Jim and so if he didn't find out all that much about these characters then neither did we sadly tho that's something that this film really doesn't have and therefor the makers of this film should have gone the extra mile to give us something to make us connect to these characters and heck even one of the more characters in Dr. Ian Kelson doesn't actually fully appear until well over an hour into the film with him only being seen from either neck down or from behind before then which does mean that as good as an actor that Ralph Fiennes he can't be as good as we all know to him to be because of the fact that he has so little screen time in this film to fully flesh out his character 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 really good. While yes granted alot of this films kills are either just the zombies biting people are people just shooting zombies down with there guns that doesn't mean that aren't some diamonds in the rough as there are plenty of really gnarly kills to be found in this film be it Spike shooting and killing zombies with his arrows both near the start and near the end of the film or either Jimmy's gang coming in and killing off zombies in lots of crazy and insane ways with there scene being so awsome just seeing how they all take out what basically amounts to a very small army of zombies all by themselves but even those aren't that the best kills in the film as that honor goes to quite literally any time that we see an Alpha zombie kill someone as we see them just straight up rip off someone's head with the spine still attached and toss the head aside like it's basketball which is something that never gets old as it's just so fun and such a unique kill to have in a zombie film as typically zombies in zombie movies just bite people and if they want to be really gory they'll rip them in half and that's really it and so to see a zombie just rip off someone's head with the spine still attached to it is always going to be a really fun kill in a film that's filled to the brim with some really cool kills in it's own right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall it's safe to say that 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple now has some really pretty big shoes to fill as this film was a really good film and while it might not please everyone that really likes the original two movies this one is more then good enough in it's right and really is sure to please the mainstream audience members 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 ern itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 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 the official 28 Days Later fandom wiki page , Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official 28 Days Later fandom wiki page simply because the official 28 Days Later fandom wiki page actually has images from this film really are up and on the official 28 Days Later fandom wiki page and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on the official 28 Days Later fandom wiki page 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.
