FlixChatter Review: SCREAM VI (2023)

Directed by: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett Written by: James Vanderbilt, Guy Busick It's not easy for a horror franchise to churn out consistently enjoyable movies, especially one that spans three generations, but Scream is a rare exception. Even at its messiest (looking at you, Scream 3), the Wes Craven-created series gives viewers memorable characters, high …

FlixChatter Review: Bones and All (2022)

When I saw the trailer for Bones and All, I wasn't sure I wanted to watch it. I obviously love horror, but my preference leans more towards supernatural horror; bloody gore-fests aren't really my thing, and considering one of the most memorable scenes from the trailer was one girl biting another's finger off, I was …

FlixChatter Review: Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) – Not going to be a classic, but still a fun enough watch

Directed by: Anne Fletcher Like many millennials, watching Hocus Pocus this time of year is as much of a Halloween tradition as carving pumpkins.

FlixChatter Review: SMILE (2022) – a well-crafted horror film that’ll get your stomach in knots

Written and directed by: Parker Finn I'll be honest- I wasn't particularly interested in Smile after seeing the trailer. The characters' sinister facial expressions reminded me of the cheesy Snapchat filter smile effect from 2018's Truth or Dare, one of the worst horror movies I've reviewed, so my hopes weren't high. However, my aunt mentioned …
