Young CriticSuspiria (2018)
Horror movies today look to shock you into fear instead of building you up to it; in the old days the lack of good make-up and special effects led to directors seeking to play around with audience’s imaginations instead.

Young CriticHalloween (2018)
The horror character of Michael Meyers has been drilled into our pop culture since his inception in John Carpenter’s classic 1978 Halloween . Since then we’ve had 10 sequels/remakes, the most recent coming in 2009. Direc
Young CriticA Quiet Place
The film market has grown continuously throughout the years; with new markets growing outside of the west (China, the Middle East, South America) this trend doesn’t seem like it’s going to change very soon, but in the we
Young CriticThe Cloverfield Paradox
The Cloverfield movies’ marketing campaigns have been absolutely fascinating to watch. The first trailers or posters for the films have been announced mere weeks before the film is set to premiere (when some productions
Young CriticIt (2017)
Stephen King is one of the greatest authors, not of today, but perhaps of all time. He’s had the ability to produce nearly a book a year, all of the highest caliber. What people consider his greatest novel, IT , has been
Young CriticThe Mummy (2017)
Another reboot, another studio setting up a cinematic universe; however I was very much excited for the newest iteration of The Mummy . Tom Cruise helms the feature, which will also introduce Universal’s “Dark Universe”

If there’s any video game adaptation that has survived the purge of audience-goers, it’s Resident Evil . Ever since its debut in 2002 the franchise has spawned 6 films over the past 15 years, with its concluding chapter
Young CriticSplit
The only thing that people love more than building up heroes is tearing them down. Director M. Night Shyamalan was destined by many in the late 90s to early 2000s to become the next Spielberg after successes with The Six
Young CriticUnderworld: Blood Wars
How many bad films does it take to kill a franchise? Apparently, if they make even minimal profit, they will keep being produced. The Underworld franchise has always been an array of B-movies that have had big financial
Young Critic10 Cloverfield Lane
No one knows what J.J. Abrams is up to. Only two months ago, we found out that he had a secret film in the works that was a sequel to his 2008 film Cloverfield . Previous to that, no one had any idea that 10 Cloverfield
