Scream 7 No spoilers ( Shorter version )

 

Scream 7 was finally here and we get to see it in all its glory. We have waited to see what they are going to do with this one and with the recent boycotts becausse of a boycott campaign protesting the November 2023 firing of actress Melissa Barrera. Spyglass Media Group dropped Barrera from the franchise following her social media posts concerning the Israel-Hamas war, which the studio described as antisemitic also causing Jenna Ortega and the original director Christopher Landon to quit as well. 

Their counter was bringing back Neve Campbell and Mathew Lillard along with a new Director who wrote the 1,2,4, and 7 screenplays for it. Despite all the boycotts it is hard to get die hard Ghostface/Scream fans to not go see it because the movie and i quote " The movie is not a reflection of the actions that had happened prior and while we all hate the things that transpired and we love when people stand up for what's right, we still are allowed to enjoy something that we as millennials and some after grew up loving. Its is a part of our life and to be able to see these characters come back, the nostalgia it brought to our hearts , and the sheer love we have for our original soundtrack,  ( which we get to hear a few songs that hit home so hard) , and original actors coming back....mostly Mathew Lillard (we all love you Mathew) was to hard to pass up." Now was it worth it??  Well lets talk about it.

This movie was all the above and kept you on a wild ride. Took you back into memory lane bringing in a lot of people that we had previously seen and even some we saw die. For me even though i don't like some of the characters that they brought back it was still fun to see them. 

Plot " When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter becomes the next target. Determined to protect her family, she must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all. " Now diving deeper into the plot.

The movie was so good and interesting. nostalgic and just great chase scenes, brutal kills and the slash factor was pretty awesome but the reveal was TERRIBLE!!  The Ghostfaces were unrelatable, nobodies, that made no FREAKING SENSE!! I was so frustrated seeing who the killers were that it made me almost so done with the movie. However .... the ending with Sid telling Gale that she loves her, trusts her and all that was really sweet and heart touching. You also see that some people survived you didn't expect to. It was a happy ending for everyone while also not being because Tatum is now traumatized just like her mom was...the cycle had restarted. 

NOW FOR MY THOUGHTS!!!

Slash Factor : 8/10 some brutal kills and some awesome sound and special fix. 

Horror : 8/10 it gave you horror , suspense , thrills and chills,

Reveal : 2/10 worst reveal in the series...at least the others made sense

Plot: 8/10 till the ending 5/10

Overall movie gets a 7/10 

This movie was great for your nostalgia, great for the kills, thrills, and suspense. All up until the end of it i was invested. The characters ( except the Ghostfaces ) were all well developed and i liked the mix of older characters and the new characters. I absolutely think the best thing to happen to Scream 5 and 6 was The twins Mindy and Chad and was pleasantly surprised when i saw them come back. It was nice because i adore those and it was a nice way to feel like Randy who was one of my favorites and who is literally me come back too. Gale was there representing herself and Dewy ( rip my handsome sweet cop ) .  The Chase scenes were also fast paced and pretty epic.  Also something about Sidney being such a bad ass made my heart thump not gunna lie. Goes to show you that you should always be honest with your kids for the most part and if they someday may be chased by a Ghostface teach them how to defend themselves. Is this the last one? 

Kevin Williamson indicated that Scream 7 is not the final chapter, suggesting the story could continue beyond this installment. Neve Campbell, who returned to star as Sidney Prescott, has reportedly already pitched ideas for a Scream 8.  Despite controversies, Scream 7 performed well at the box office, making a, which makes a, which makes a "Scream 8" a very likely, possibility..

So who knows however in my opinion...please stop...PLEASE STOP!!! The only way i would like to see a new one is if  a certain someone ( previous Ghostface ) actually came back and there was a standoff with Gale, Sid, the Ghostface and t ends where it started. That would be watchable. No new people just the people who have been in it previously 1-7. Anyways, i encourage you to go see it if it is a thing you have loved since day one because you will enjoy it more than those who just started watching it when Scream 5 and 6 came out. Old school fans appreciate it and new people don't understand the role it played in our lives growing up so they don't have that time to appreciate it plus they came in on a whole different plot and storyline that i personally didn't like as much. However we will get to rating the Scream Series in another article. Please watch and enjoy and if you don't enjoy it i get it but to each their own. 

Happy Slashing my friends!!!

Scream 7 review

 

Scream 7 was finally here and we get to see it in all its glory. We have waited to see what they are going to do with this one and with the recent boycotts becausse of a boycott campaign protesting the November 2023 firing of actress Melissa Barrera.

Now was it worth it??  Well lets talk about it.

This movie was all the above and kept you on a wild ride. Took you back into memory lane bringing in alot of people that we had previously seen and even some we saw die. For me even though i don't like some of the characters that they brought back it was still fun to see them. 

Plot " When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter becomes the next target. Determined to protect her family, she must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all. " Now diving deeper intot he plot.

Starting with Sidney and her daughter Tatum which we find out the whole reason Tatum was named Tatum, obviously because of Sidney's best friend who was with Stu in the first Scream, and you see Sidney works and owns a cute little coffee shop. She has not told Tatum anything about her past trying to protect her ( it bites her ass in the end ) The husband is Cheif of police which makes sense for her to marry that lol. You see Tatum and her friends hanging out just like Sid and her friends at the same age. Senior year just like Sidney and we know Ghostfaces seem to be sooooo sentimental lol. So we know how that goes am i right? She gets a call one day and its from...dundun duuuuuun Woodsboro, California.. Low and behold the biggest screams, gasps and love when our boys pops up on Camera....Stu Macher. Seeing Mathew Lillard again made my heart sing. He tells her he is at her daughters high school and he is going to take her and her friends down just like he did to all her friends back then.

We go through him at her high school in theater class getting ready for a play. Neve calls papa bear Police man and they all head that way only to find unalived teens but Tatum is still alive. Many call are made form Stu to Sid and many chase scenes between Ghostface and Tatum, Ghostface and Sid, and Ghostface and the other kids who were not killed. Not to mention one of our favorite reporter GALE WEATHERS ( Courteney Cox ) and 2 of my favorite people from the previous Scream. The brother and sister who were Randy's neice and nephew Mindy and Chad Meeks Martin. Roles: Mindy is known for inheriting her uncle’s role as the horror-movie-savvy expert, while Chad serves as a protector and athlete within the "Core Four" survivor group. 

The twins ended up with Gale as assistant " shadow" reporters and Camera men. They ended up hanging out with the teens and Gale of course with Sid. Gale and Sid find out some news about a mental Hospital that Stu might have been in after one of the Ghostfaces were taken out. They go up there and find out a man named John Doe was there and he looked like Stu. The guy even said that he was pleasant to be around and that John and the Ghostface they took out were best friends. SO After 30 years Sidney finally agreed to giving Gale an interview to draw out Stu or whoever is pretending to be Stu at this point they just aren't sure. Interview got hard but Sid walks off because it was getting to her when she gets another call and has to leave. They all end up leaving meanwhile back with Tatum and the others Ghostface is in action. Yes more dead teens but Some of course survive even if it wasn't without injuries. Tatum runs to the coffee shop only for Ghostface to know the code to get in. Right there we know someone under that mask is close enough to Sid to see the code... thats crazy right....ok...

Tatum ends up getting captured and roped and tied to a chair outside their house in the backyard just like the first kill ever in any Scream movie. They wanted you to feel that again and we did. 2 Ghostfaces show up and here we are to the big reveal. All while papa police man has been attacked and we think...oh no is he dead. WITHOUT SPOILERS i will say the rest. We all know Ghostfaces don't survive so i know i dont have to tell you that but in this house " finale scene" you see past killers on the tv and Sid's phone and we find out ....AI HAS ALOT TO DO WITH THIS>>>>BULL>>> Seeing the old Ghostfaces were pretty cool though. Now for the big reveal....DISSAPOINTING>>>>>>>

The movie was so good and interesting. nostaglic and just great chase scenes, brutal kills and the slash factor was pretty awesome but the reveal was TERRIBLE!!  The Ghostfaces were unrelatable, nobodies, that made no FREAKING SENSE!! I was so frustrated seeing who the killers were that it made me almost so done with the movie. However .... the ending with Sid telling Gale that she loves her, trusts her and all that was really sweet and heart touching. You also see that some people survived you didn't expect to. It was a happy ending for everyone while also not being because Tatum is now traumatized just like her mom was...the cycle had restarted. 

NOW FOR MY THOUGHTS!!!

Slash Factor : 8/10 some brutal kills and some awesome sound and special fx. 

Horror : 8/10 it gave you horror , suspense , thrills and chills,

Reveal : 2/10 worst reveal in the series...at least the others made sense

Plot: 8/10 till the ending 5/10

Overall movie gets a 7/10

Pre screening of How to Make a Killing Movie Review

 

Synopsis:

Disowned at birth by his obscenely wealthy family, blue-collar Becket Redfellow will stop at nothing to reclaim his inheritance, no matter how many relatives stand in his way.

Director

John Patton Ford

Writer

John Patton Ford

Stars

Glen Powell Margaret Qualley Jessica Henwick

Release Date to theaters February 20th, 2026

This is a suspense, thriller, with some comedic vibe to it. It kept you on your toes and had a nice twist at the end. you are made to think that something is going to happen but then something does happen but it is something you probably wouldn't Have thought about at all. It is like there are 3 lives he is living and none of them seem to align with each other so they are kept seperate. It does teach you a lesson as well about life and i amd not sure if it suppose to but it really does make you think about it.

My take on the plot:

 So he is child of a mother who was in a very welthy family and at 18 she had gotten pregnant. Her father told her its either get it " taken care of" or she is cut off and out of the family. She chose to keep her baby and so her father kicked her out of the family. She moved out and moved away from the family and lived her own life, working hard, living in a low budget area of town, and raised her son as high end as she could with all the teachings she could afford. He grew up well mannered and very proper. His mother ends up getting sick and at a young age she passes after he had met a girl he started dating. They were young yet he was still in love with her for a long time growing up. The broke up and grew apart because he ended up in foster care. Fast forward to him growing up and getting a nice job in the city selling suit and tailoring for high end people. He meets the girl again from a while back turns out she is a whole mess of mind f*ckery. She is married but she tells him to ask her out later and see whats happens. He ends up moving on and his job tyells him they are sending him to a warehouse and boy does he not like that. So in a depression he started thinking about what his mom said back in the day about promising that he would live a life he deserved and he wouldn't stop until he does. 

He remembers that he is a part of the wealthiest family and that when all the higher up family member born before him pass away he inherits all the money from said family. The one thing his grandfather never did was write him out of the will. So thats when the fun starts. He devises plans to get rid of them all and its just a wild ride. It gives you so many fun twists , comedic moments, some serious, some romance, and best of all its an A24 movie without a gratutious amount of sex scenes...there isn't any and that was suprising to me. They like to over sexualize everything for some reason. 

Anyways it was a fun movie definately not for children it is rated r for violence and even though the violence is funny it is still ruthless lol. 

We thuroughly enjoyed this film and i would say a great A24 film and our rating would be  

8/10 Pretty fun to watch and we recommend watching it even if you dont go to a theater and want to wait for streaming it is worth the watch. 

Dracula A love Tale

 

Lets talk about the plot shall we ?

Dracula (2026)" refers to a new Gothic romantic fantasy film directed by Luc Besson and starring Caleb Landry Jones, Christoph Waltz, and Zoë Bleu, releasing in North America on February 6, 2026, focusing on the prince's transformation after his wife's death and his quest to reclaim her from death. It's a fresh adaptation or re imagining of Bram Stoker's novel, exploring themes of power, immortality, and eternal love, following earlier versions like Coppola's 1992 film and Robert Eggers' 2024 Nosferatu.

 A 15th-century Prince Vlad renounces God after the murder of his wife while fighting a war in the name of God. Thus God cursing him to becoming the immortal Dracula. Centuries later, he hunts for his lost love in 19th-century London while being pursued by a relentless priests. 

This is your basic plot and for what it is worth this movie is actually a pretty good take on a re imagining for Bram Stokers. There were a lot of things that they changed obviously but most of the were subtle and I think for the movie it was trying to be the changes they made were pretty good and went well with the plot of the story. The guy who plays Dracula was such a good actor ( despite being a very gross crier lol ) he was able to display so many emotions and make us feel those emotions. The acting in general was actually very good. So I'll give the acting in it a 8/10 . The cinematography was also really well done it was visually beautiful and I love all the Costuming. You know Costuming is something I love when it comes to anything really so the cinematography was 8/10 and the Costuming was a 8/10 so to be honest everything as a whole made this movie an 8/10 . It is worth the watch and it focuses mostly on the love aspect of Dracula and his Elizabeta!

DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DO NOT WANT SPOILERS!!!!!

This movie starts out with a Vlad and his wife having sex yet done tastefully ( accept when they are playing around with food and then they get all gross with it ...ew) it doesn't even show them naked really. Just a fair warning. However it is important to the movie. It is their love tale and then it goes into the war that Prince Vlad had to fight in and Elizabeta had to flee from and never made it out of . So in this movie I wanted to talk about a few changes that they did that were kinda odd to me but also kinda worked. They took Lucy out of the movie and Renfield. They also removed the vampire bride girls that try to devour Jonathan in the original. Now the look they gave him was great he was very reminiscent of Gary Oldman's Dracula portrayal but not exact and I liked that . Mina is still Mina but the way they brought Lucy without being Lucy is ....A mental facility captured a woman named Maria and brought her in and then called in a priest ( who I believe I suppose to be Van Helsing but they don't say it ) to come and check her out. Turns out this woman is a Vampire and is in search of her master. Mina shows up to the facility and informs them she is there to see if her new friend Maria was ok. After the priest had found a picture of what Dracula's wife looked like he sees that Mina looks almost identical and then they keep a close eye on her. They speak to her and discuss how she feels like she doesn't belong in this time and she explains how she met Maria which was at Maria Wedding with Henry who was her soon to be husbands ( Jonathan) I cant remember if they said close friend, brother, or business partner. Anyways that is how Maria and her met. Maria was trying to help her master find his wife in this time and just so happened to find her. Meanwhile back at the castle , Jonathan shows up at the castle of Prince Vlad and offers Vlad to buy a piece of land and real estate in Paris and Vlad aka Dracula says enough talking for the night after they ate a bit and then he showed him to his room and then told him not to leave his room ( just like in the other one ) and again Jonathan does not listen only this time....the brides were replaced by cute as hell ( I think they are ) Gargoyles and they are like 3 feet tall and his minions so cute I  love them so much. Vlad comes down as the Gargoyles are stringing him upside down and he says " I told you no tot leave you room "and that he is hungry so he is going to eat him. He asks Jonathan what his dying wish is and he says to hear about Dracula and all that he is . He wants to know his story and so that when Dracula tell his story about his life and his adventures to finding Elizabeta and creating this cologne that draws woman in as if it were the most potent pheromones ever. It basically entrances them and makes Dracula irresistible and them to rave him to basically devour him. Jonathan says you cant kill me because you know what love means and I am about to be wed to the love of my life and shows him the picture of Mina and ....well we know what happens from there. Vlad spares Jonathans life because he brought him his Elizabeta but throws him in the dungeon where he ends up escaping. Vlad goes to Paris free's Maria after eating a bunch of horny nuns and becoming young again.  Maria goes convinces Mina she is fine and arranges a meeting for her master and Mina to meet. He charms her and yet she still refrains from him yet doesn't want to. The priest and doctor find Jonathan and find out Mina is in trouble and they tell Mina that he is not a nice man he is a Vampire and killer . She doesn't want to believe that . She goes to her room and guess who is there? Vlad ya you know!! He is like I will leave and she is like yes please and then she stops him and they speak more and then she realizes she does know him and she does love him and then remembers who she really is . He takes her back to their castle in Romania . At the end the priest gathers, Henry ( Maria shows up and they end up killing her ) and Jonathan go after Dracula to get MIna back with an army of people. The priest finds Vlad and tells Vlad I am here to save you and that by killing himself he frees everyone once bitten and he free'd Mina's soul from damnation which he is her damnation. Vlad realizes this. He decides amongst the chaos of war they brought to him after many died that he will let the priest kill him to save her soul and then he does. It ends with Mina crying over his ashes and Jonathan seeing it realizing she will never love him the way she loved Dracula and walks away. Vlad's ashes lift and blow out the window and up to the sky as everyone exists the castle you see several children covered in white paint walking out looking gray almost and I assume it was what the Gargoyles were before they were turned. They were free'd as well. 

It is a true love story and I would say for me it was a solid 8/10 would watch again!!

Iron lung By Markiplier 2026 Short review and no spoilers

 

Hey Guys we are here to talk about something that is beyond what i could have ever expected. First we will discuss the movie and then we will discuss the future here. The revelation that has happened in Cinema as we know it. The changing of an Era...the Downfall of Hollywood.

First off lets go over the plot of the movie. 

ron Lung is a 2026 American science fiction horror film written and directed by Mark Fischbach in his feature directorial debut. It is based on the 2022 video game by David Szymanski. The film stars Fischbach, Caroline Rose Kaplan, Troy Baker, Elsie Lovelock, Elle LaMont, Seán McLoughlin, and Isaac McKee. The plot follows a convict named Simon (Fischbach) who is forced to pilot a submarine through a desolate moon's ocean of blood, after an event known as the Quiet Rapture caused the majority of humanity and all stars to disappear without warning. ( Taken from Wiki) 

It is set in the future after and event called the silent rapture happened where it had cut all contact with anyone else out there. All planets and stars have disappeared and the only people remaining are the ones who were on space stations or ships.A man named Simon ( played by Mark ) had been imprisoned for being involved in the destruction of a space station called Filament Station. He swears it was not suppose to happen and he did not destroy anything. His punishment is testing out a submarine ( they called the Iron Lung ) in which you are welded in shut to go down and explore this ocean of blood on a moon called AT-5. If he does this and completes his task they told him he will have earned his freedom. 

That is the plot and to be honest for me.... i actually like the plot it is interesting.

This movie to me was unique in every way. It was all different emotions , you never knew what was actually happening as if you were going a little crazy as Simon did. The visuals were bloody stunning and cinematic value was incredible. For someone who had a vision and self produced, filmed, and created all on a 3 mil budget ..... he did a great job. It was exciting too to watch because I wanted to know what this thing was the entire time. I give it a 7.5 / 10 and I say that in its most solid form!!! It is worth the watch and Marks acting was a 8/10 I think he did so good in this. Not a horror movie other than lots of blood but I saw it more of a Scifi and thriller to be honest. 

Mark, lets talk about him for a second. He has managed to do something Hollywood could never do. He made a movie without a Hollywood formula creating the #1 movie on the charts above Disney and Sam Rami. He gave Hollywood the middle finger and said I don't need you I can do this and I want to do this on my own. He did it all and made Hollywood angry because he didn't need any of them. Good for you Mark you did it. I have been watching you since day one and I am so happy to see your journey and though you may never read this...everything you have done was inspiring to a lot of us small creators who may have been giving up on their dreams. You literally changed that mindset when you released this movie. Thank you and congrats !
