Directed by: Nahnatchka Khan Written by: David Matalon, Sasha Perl-Raver, Jen D'Angelo A friend of mine recently told me he prefers watching horror comedies over straight-up horror movies during the Halloween season, and I can understand that preference. While the month of October is universally known as "spooky season," the tone is usually a healthy …

FlixChatter TV Review: The Wheel of Time – Season 2 (ep 1-5)
Nearly two years after its first season premiered, The Wheel of Time season two dropped on Amazon Prime, and I, as your resident nerd, am here to discuss it (the first five episodes, anyway- we still have three more to go). As a reminder, I am only reviewing this as a TV show- not as …

FlixChatter Review: TALK TO ME (2023) – A24’s Australian horror movie delivers white-knuckle chills
Directed by: Danny Philippou, Michael Philippou Written by: Danny Philippou, Bill Hinzman, Daley Pearson Of all the horror movies I've covered for FlixChatter over the past seven years, few have truly scared me.

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. The 1993 film is a memorable, atmospheric, fun product of its time. So when it was announced that a sequel was being produced for DisneyPlus, my expectations were low, but I …
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 …
