Apartment 7A 2024
"Prequels to horror movies are a common practice. Based on audience reactions, a filmmaker’s interest, or the production house’s lust for the big bucks, some character or element from the original film is picked up and fleshed out via a story set in the narrative’s past. And the results are always very hit or miss. Final Destination 5 mostly played out like a standalone film and only revealed that it was a prequel at the end, thereby surprising everyone. Paranormal…

Grave Torture’s ending will leave you confused, not just about the narrative but also the moral lesson that the film wants to impart."

With My Oni Girl, everything feels like a tired archetype that pushes the film from about one hour and 40 minutes to what feels like five hours. Of course, children will enjoy this world of snow gods and demon girls with dip-dyed hair and horns, but is it really worth your time?"

A Part of You 2024
"The thought of losing a sibling is unfathomable to those of us who are fortunate to have them. Perhaps it’s my closeness with my sister that lends to my appreciation of media that represent sibling bonds impeccably. They can be at each other’s throats all the time, or they can be as close as we are, or an awkward, long-lost bunch who have to find their way to loving each other again—it’s a bond that is somehow palpable through it…
