This might end up being my new favorite network TV show:

Awwwww shhhhyt!! I’m excited. Lol.. this looks real interesting! CBS no less..
CBS used to be the grandparents go-to network for the older crowd. they’ve been on a roll with fresher and more engaging content development lately. Let me find out cbs is the new Fox, from the creators of - the good wife and the good fight, both of which I watch on the regular , top series so this has to be a good look .

FOX didn’t renew The Passage
The only horror series with a little black girl as the lead that wasn’t playing a stereotypical role is what they chose to cancel - could have at least given it a season 2.

‘The Passage’ Canceled By Fox After One Season – Deadline

That IT: Chapter 2 trailer on the big screen was amazing.

27 years. It's a horrible feeling having something you think is gone for good come back to haunt you. Just thinking about that gave the Mrs. Kersh scene a whole new level of creepiness.

I finally got around to the Pet Sematary remake and I can't tell if I'm not being fair to it because I'm too familiar with the original. I don't think it's bad as a stand alone, still a dope concept and entertaining plot but the element of surprise is gone so the impact from the original was way bigger on me (also I was young watching the classic version). This version's ending just fell flat for me by comparison. The cat was a more imposing presence than anything else that came back

I could see this creeping the hell out of my nieces and nephews that aren't as familiar with the original though. I also wonder what the director's cut might look like. They probably coulda used one or two more scenes to flesh out the trauma from Jud's and Rachel's pasts. Or they coulda used the extra time to flesh out the Wendigo backstory...or they coulda done more with the ghost warnings which were some of my favorite bits in the original only to feel worthless in this one. One thing I will say, Lithgow killed it as Jud, I really appreciated his performance and the father started off a little light but by the time things heated up he was also killing it in his role.


Idk, I feel like I'm not being fair to it fam. I could picture this ish being effective on newcomers. May have to sit down with the youngins and play it back to see how it hits 'em. Anyway, I've got a cold and am relaxing so it's on to the next horror since I've been letting the backlog fill up too much. I Trapped the Devil is next.

@Nicole0416 whats the verdict

@Nicole0416 whats the verdict

I absolutely did not finish watching that movie yet... I’m actually finishing it now lol. got 35 mins in and my patience started wearing thin last night. Right after the classroom scene and they started doing their Condor presentation, and the weird voice change , with the fake bird vomit ... smh. And the cringy scenes where the male teachers keep gawking at the underage blond student . Also, Why did they have to make the only black kid, the only one In the group of friends with a physical affliction - blindness.


The scene with the Asian kid running on the bridge did make me jump a little when the Ripper went from slow pace to a full on sprint, out of nowhere. But let me finish the next hr or so now and I’ll report back with a final verdict. I didn’t read any write ups before watching this movie, so I’m watching this with no info to not skew my perspective.

@Nicole0416 whats the verdict

Oh and lmaoffff at one of the lead women actors from Black Panther being in this . Random.

And the “possessed” father getting the drop on the cops at least three times in the opening scenes at the start of the movie. Like 2 murders and 2 attempted murders .. body count in the first 5 minutes.

I thought Wes Craven had the bones of what could have been a really entertaining teen comedy with the way he handled the relationships between the students and how it navigated the different social strata within the high school but alas this was supposed to be a horror movie and on the horror tip Wes dropped the ball pretty badly with this movie.

Yeeeeah lets just remember scream 4 as his last movie and be good with that
