#1 — The Conjuring (2013) — Watched on the 22nd
Super scary! The tension and scares are really effective!
Now, this has been on my "Nope" list ever since i got into horror, because it touches aspects of my faith that are very real to me and I did not trust myself to not get paranoid because of that.
However, after reading the original true story, I couldn't help but give it a try. Either it stuck with it and wasn't very scary, or it didn't but wouldn't make me paranoid since not really grounded in reality anymore. It was the second option, much to my delight! Guess I've gotta take off the others from the franchise from the Nope List and add them to my watchlist!
3.5/5 ⭐
#2 — Five Nights At Freddy's 2 (2025) — Watched on the 23rd
Wooh was I hyped waiting for this one! Went to see it in theaters with my partner as a birthday outing and damn was I fangirling!
It stayed in the same vein as the first on in terms of being for the fans imo, even with Scott taking this as an opportunity to actually write lore he wants to instead of winging it!
Loved all the tiny references i caught—even if I'm sure there I plenty i didn't catch: good excuse for a rewatch~
⚠️Spoilers⚠️
There were some bold choices, but I'm not against them!! I'm excited to see where they take this, and if they make good use of those choices I'm totally on board with them! So far it looks like these are setting up the future movies and lore so it's a game of patience.
The one i was dubious about was the whole Michael Afton being evil thing, but I'm definitely happy they're doing something with him! Felt lackluster this installment but as I said, i suspect this is setting up the next few movies, so I'm staying open to it!
As for the puppet possession… It doesn't retcon her other powers, and I like how creepy it iiisss!! I kind of like that bold choice so far tbh!
As for how Charlotte isn't as much of a protector and more of a vengeful spirit here, why not? It fits, and there are other characters that could come in to fill that more motherly/protective role over the spirit children. Once again excited to see where they're going with this!
Also, the fact we're going for the actual FNAF3 set-up for at least part of the next movie? So hyped man!!
4.5/5 ⭐
#3 — Wake Up Dead Man - A Knives Out Mystery (2025) —Watched on the 31st
Considering I was raised catholic and I watched this feverish af, this was a wild ride!!
Loved how it was all set-up, loved the shots, the jokes, the acting, the biblical references, the totally-not-a-cult thing, just wow!!
4.5/5 ⭐
#4 — Gremlins (1984) — Watched on the 31st
A rewatch for me, a first for my lovely partner!
This is a teenage-hood classic to me, and it started the trend of me calling myself a gremlin because they're just little chaos creatures :3
Love the puppetry!! And also the creativity and pure chaos of the kills (both human and gremlin)!!
Speaking of, damn the women in this movie decided they weren't going down and we love them for that!
Plus, Guizmo is a little sweetheart and he makes me melt <3
5/5 ⭐
➛ Reminder: this is how I do my reviews! ✨
