Abigail is, without a doubt, the greatest horror comedy vampire movie of 2024. I saw it twice in theaters: One time on its opening day, Friday and another time on Tuesday. This film is Radio Silence's way of telling Spyglass to go screw themselves and Melissa Barrera's way of telling Spyglass to take this firing and shove it. It got a perfect cast of people: Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Angus Cloud (R.I.P), William Catlett, Kevin Durand, Giancarlo Esposito, Mathew Goode and the wonderful and talented showstopper of the movie, Alisha Weir. It got its take on vampire tropes, it got its use of Swan Lake, it gives everything that you can expect from this movie. From beginning to end, I just knew that this movie is going to be amazing despite of the trailer giving it away. I love the cast played their characters perfectly without missing a beat, I love Alisha Weir's performance as Abigail as she pretty much steals every scene that she's in, including the scenes with Melissa, who pretty much did a fantastic job of playing Joey. Considering the fact that this movie is Angus Cloud's final film role and God bless him, I love the hell of it and if there's a sequel in the works, I'll be glad to see it. And I'll be glad if this movie gets a DVD release date after its theatrical run ends. More power to Melissa, Alisha, Kathryn, Dan, Radio Silence and everybody who made this movie for what it is. AC, Rest In Peace!

I think The Final Girls was one of those movies that's definitely a must-see, must-own classic gem. I never saw it back in 2015 when I was 22. But when I watched it on one of the Showtime channels for the first time last summer of this year at age 26, it was something that I never expected before in my life. I love the performances of the cast. Taissa Farmiga, who people know her from movies like The Bling Ring and 6 Years before she became a household name, thanks to American Horror Story (Murder House, Coven & Apocalypse). Malin Akerman, which many people know her from movies like Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle, The Heartbreak Kid, 27 Dresses, Watchmen and so on. Alexander Ludwig, who I know him as a child actor before he did The Hunger Games, Grown Ups 2, Final Girl, which was also released in 2015, the same year as this movie, Vikings And Bad Boys For Life. Thomas Middleditch, which people know him from Silicon Valley, The Other Guys, The Campaign, The Bronze where he plays Ben A.K.A Twitchy and Zombieland: Double Tap. Adam Devine, which people know him from Workaholics, Pitch Perfect 1 & 2, Uncle Grandpa and so on. Alia Shawkat, who was in Arrested Development, Rebound, The Runaways and Whip It. Nina Dobrev, who was in Repo! The Genetic Opera, The Roommate, Let's Be Cops, The Vampire Diaries and xXx: Return of Xander Cage. Angela Trimbur, who was Cleopatra from Epic Rap Battles of History and a few dancing videos on YouTube. And Chloe Bridges, formally known as Chloe Suazo, who was a child star before she did The Carrie Diaries that many people knew her. There are a lot of great scenes in the film: a few running gags, a couple of horror movie tropes thrown in here and there, having that flashback scene where Max, Chris, Vicki & Gertie were being transported to the past and using it later when Max, Chris and Nancy were being chased by Billy and a great slow-motion chase scene that'll make you go, "WOW!" But I also love the scenes that Taissa and Malin share together on film from the beginning of the movie all the way through the climax of it. And the ending was great. After Nancy and Max have their final moments together, Nancy sacrifices herself so that Max can be the final girl, kills Billy and end the film. After Nancy gets killed by Billy, Max collapses but gets back up with the power, grabs the machete, went outside and she and Billy get into this one-on-one fight. Billy throws his knife at Max, she does a power slide over it, hacks his leg off with the machete, spins around and cut his head clear off. Max sees the end credits playing in the sky, she and Chris share a kiss together, the movie reel begins to transport them to the hospital, all of her friends survived and Max looks at the friendship bracelet that Nancy gave her as a wonderful reminder of her mom. But spoiler alert: there's one more movie that they have to survive in and it's the sequel. And then you see that last shot of Max grabbing the IV drip stand and charges it at Billy as he comes through the hospital until the movie abruptly ends with credits and bloopers playing. Sure, it looks like a PG-13 rated version of Friday The 13th, but still it was a great movie that's so underrated that you just wanna watch it over and over again to appreciate not only the characters that the cast portrayed, but the visual effects, the camerawork, the music, the whole nine yards. And if there's a sequel in the works, I hope that it'll be as twice as exciting than the first one did and I would love to see how it turns out. Fingers crossed until we get a release date of the sequel after the pandemic is over. #FinalGirls

Let me tell y'all something... When I was 18 years old in October of 2011, I have never saw anything more cool, more exciting, more supernatural and more enjoyable than American Horror Story. I mean, that first season alone was something else and it made me want to watch the series. At 19 years old, I watched the second season and it also was something else. Age 20, third season. Age 21, fourth season. Age 22-23, fifth season and sixth season. Age 23-24, seventh season. Age 24-25, eighth season. Age 25-26, ninth season. Every year I age, I always, always watched American Horror Story on TV. I like seeing cast members trying out new characters each season, I like seeing the deaths that each character has faced including the comeuppance of the less likable or more likable characters in the series, I like the music that they chose each season and I also like the endings of each season. I mean, I can not for the life of me stop watching this series. And if season 10 airs this January of next year on FX, I hope it'll be more exciting than the last nine seasons that I watched over the years.

I watched M3GAN twice last night on 123movies and I was sold, completely sold by the entire movie with the actresses: Allison Williams as Gemma, an roboticist who is building her dream project for the toy company that she's working for, but a full-time guardian to her niece after her sister and her brother-in-law die in a tragic car accident. Violet McGraw as Cady, a young girl who lost her parents in a tragic car accident and lives with her aunt who's too busy with her work, until she sees a robot that Gemma created in the past and wants one herself, that where she meets M3GAN for the first time and the two of them were insepartable until the very end. Jenna Davis as the voice of M3GAN, who absolutely nails it with her line delivery and her singing voice. Amie Donald as the physical role of M3GAN, who also nails with her scenes, including the hallway scene. I love the music that fits perfectly in the movie, especially the songs. I'm telling you, I smile, I cried and I was impressed. I consider M3GAN an instant classic of the year. Props to the director, Gerard Johnstone, Screenwriter Akela Cooper, James Wan, Jason Blum, the enitre crew for making M3GAN for what it is. And I can't wait for them to do a sequel for M3GAN, call it M3GAN 2.0. Have M3GAN kill everybody while being in control of every electronic device that they owned and being rebuild again by a different toy company while Cady and Gemma is in Florida with Cady's Grandparents and finding a new way to defeat M3GAN after they get the news of what's happening. Would that be something to see? Also, if it comes out on DVD with both the theatrical version and the unrated version, I'll get my hands on it the first day that it arrives in stores. it's a 10 out of 10 for me. 5 out of 5 for me. This is my favorite movie of 2023.

Seven months ago, I watched the kill count of the movie on Dead Meat's YouTube Channel before watching the movie for the first time last October. I was so amazed by Karl Holt's first ever film. Not only did he directed it, but he wrote, starred and did the voice of Benny. Not to mention that his parents and his friends helped him make the movie without any budget. I love the scenes of Jack and Benny together, even though Benny was looking out for Jack and doesn't want him to be a pushover by people who made him miserable throughout the movie. Also, I love the design of Benny. Made me wish that I had him and keep him out of trouble. Still, this movie will hold a special place in my heart for its own wonderful and crazy way. Make us wish that we can put away some of the toys, some of the time, but we can't put away our favorites, even if they were possessed by spirits. Also make us wish that even as we continue to grow as adults, we can't give up the things that we love and enjoy as kids. Enough Said. Kudos to Karl Holt for creating this gem of a movie.
