Insidious [franchise] (2010-present)

Although I could easily write a post per movie, I find that it will be much easier for me to write about them all in one, since it’s been quite a while since I’ve seen the first few. With that being said, this is one of my favorite horror movie franchises, and all of them have a 5/5 stars on my long list of movie ratings. Also, I heard that there’s a new one coming out! So, let’s kick off with a…

Deliver Us From Evil (2014)

This was such a good movie! I’m a huge fan of cop-dramas, so the combination of a cop-drama horror movie made my very simple heart happy. This story follows a New York cop who is investigating a series of crimes that are all linked to each other. (This isn’t the most original plot, but stick with me!) He finds, with the help of a priest, that the crimes have been committed because the people who…

Before I Wake (2016)

I’d like to start out by explicitly stating, if I haven’t already, that the Insidious franchise is by far my favorite horror franchise, and James Wan + Patrick Wilson is my favorite duo of all time! That seems irrelevant, but I’m hoping to give some insight into why I loved this movie, that was not directed by James Wan or Patrick Wilson, so much. Before I Wake is a Mike Flanagan movie, and I…

Frailty (2001)

I know this movie isn’t technically listed as a horror movie, but it definitely deserves to be. Honestly, this movie had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, There were such good twists, and I really loved this movie through and through. This movie begins with Adam Meiks in an FBI office, hoping to speak with a specific agent. He greets said agent and tells him that he knows who the God’s…

Abigail (2024)

Hello! I have somewhat returned from the dead (recovered from the flu), so I’m back to writing reviews! I was sitting at home on Friday night (boring, I know), and I thought “There’s nothing better to do than go watch a movie.” So, at 9:30 PM I went and saw this movie with my mom. Now, my mom is a HUGE vampire fanatic. She knows the lore of every vampire movie, knows every fact about vampires,…

XIII (2019)

Hi! I have been feeling very under the weather all day, so I thought what better thing to do than turn on movies that I otherwise probably would not watch! Although I don’t have a ton to say about this movie, I would give it about a 6/10. In this movie, two college students are tasked with partnering up and creating a film out of a book. When they find a book in the library that the librarian…

The Haunting In Connecticut (2009)

The Haunting in Connecticut has been one of my favorite horror movies ever since I saw it many, many years ago. Although I like the second one better (The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia), I still love the original. I would give it a 9/10 but ONLY because the second one is so good, so had they not made the second one this could have easily been a 10/10! This movie follows the…

After dealing with the tragic loss of her husband and daughter in a car accident, a woman goes on a caving expedition with her good friends. Sarah, the main character, and the rest of the group…
