Synopsis: A couple desperately try to hide their daughter, Charlie, from a shadowy federal agency that wants to harness her unprecedented gift for turning fire into a weapon of mass destruction. Her father taught her how to defuse her power, but as Charlie turns 11, the fire becomes harder and harder to control. When a mysterious operative finally finds the family, he tries to seize Charlie once and for all — but she has other plans.

Our Father is a new true-crime documentary in a forever growing sub-genre of what is already a sub-genre of documentaries. This time brought to us by Blumhouse and Netflix, these two powerhouses are guaranteed success in this genre. To our pleasure, Blumhouse has the best Netflix true-crime documentary since ‘The Keepers. The story behind Our Father is one you would place in the must-see to believe category. They even tell us in the main titles that all the voice recordings are true which makes this even more shocking.

I’m not very familiar with the European indie-horror scene. Infamous Horror has given me a chance to remedy that with films like “Let the Wrong One In” (https://www.infamoushorrors.com/2022/04/03/let-the-wrong-one-in-review/), and more recently, MeloMedia Films’ psychological horror-thriller, “As a Prelude to Fear” (https://www.melomediafilms.com/as_a_prelude_to_fear.html).

From family favorites “Casper” and “The Addams Family” to darker features like “Sleepy Hollow” and “Cursed,” Christina Ricci has rightfully secured her status as Scream Queen. (Ricci’s cannibalistic Showtime horror-dramedy series “Yellowjackets” is still on my to-watch list.) Screen Media’s “Monstrous,” directed by Chris Sivertson (“All Cheerleaders Die”), furthers her horror filmography.

The Flight Attendant is back and grounded for a season 2 that has much more emotional depth, Kaley Cuoco showed the world her range in season one in the wild thrill ride that makes us reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock thrillers mixed in with a little ‘Red Eye’. The showrunners do an incredible job of keeping up with the pure unexpected magic of season one. The main thing that keeps season 2 going toe to toe with season 1 is the involvement of the other Cassandra Bowden’s.

Review by Sharon Wilfong

The film Dashcam is being produced by the megastar, Jason Blum. The film previously had its premiere at 2021 TIFF which stands for Toronto International Film Festival, of course. It was met with a lukewarm response by fans and critics who have seen it so far having a 53% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 4.8/10 on IMDB.

Back in 2018, we got one of the biggest critical and received flops in The Conjuring Universe in ‘The Nun’. However after four years of waiting on a sequel or another spin-off announcement. We finally got one for ‘The Nun’.

Synopsis:

A bored office worker abandons her old life and joins an enigmatic competition to win a car. Locked in a room with four strangers, she goes through a series of challenges led by an intriguing host named Homunculus.
