Halloween H20 (1998) Review

Let's ignore the previous trilogy, like the writers did, and skip straight to 20 years after Halloween II.

The Birds (1963) Review

I think The Birds is one of the best-known movies in Hitchcock's filmography and one of the few that is thought of as an actual horror movie. After a chance encounter with a man named Mitch at a pet store, Melanie travels to Bodega Bay to deliver a pair of lovebirds to him. During her …

Four ended with Jamie stabbing her foster …

Halloween 4 – The Return of Michael Myers (1988) Review

It has been a while since I reviewed a movie, so I thought I'd return with a seasonal staple to continue the franchise where I left off. 10 years after the events of Halloween II, Michael Myers has been left in a comatose state and is being moved back to Smith's Grove Sanitarium. During the …
