    The Boogeyman

    ★★★½

    Executes its horror fantastically without relying on jump scares and captures the essence of what parents tell their kids is hiding under their beds in a way that you can show to young children to scar them for life.

    Also, the main character seems to have never seen a single horror film in their entire lives, which honestly feels impressive. The character breaks almost every rule Wes Craven has given us, but it manages to somehow not really influence the plot as a consequence.

  • The Little Mermaid

    The Little Mermaid

    It's yet another unnecessary live-action re-hash of a beloved animated Disney classic, in both good & bad ways. This one would have earned only a 2-star rating for me. But wow Halle Bailey is so unbelievably fantastic as Ariel in every moment she's on screen that her performance alone earns an extra 1½ stars from me.

    This movie wouldn't work with any other lead.

    There's this weird, dry, and stupid sense of humor here that I kinda just love. The target audience that's going to find it appealing is definitely small, but if you're in that tiny minority this is really enjoyable.
