Unfortunately, The Influence did not meet my criteria for what makes a good scary movie. In fact, I would argue … More No, you shouldn’t watch The Influence
I’m a sucker for medieval movies. I’m not sure what it is about a knight in armour, valiantly fighting in battle, but whenever I come across a movie with this trope, you can bet I’m tuning in.

As I stated in a post a few days ago, horror movies can be a hit or miss experience in terms of their execution.

I love me a pants-pooping horror movie, one that gets my heart pumping and results in me sweating profusely out of fear. You may think I’m a bit odd for my film preferences, but that’s fine. Anyways, since horror movies are kind of my thing, I’ve been wanting to see Annabelle: Creation, since I initially … More Annabelle: Creation – is it worth the watch?
Television is something I would argue we’re all relatively opinionated about. What we enjoy in a series may not be what someone else does, making the topic a rather subjective one.
