In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses under
the ‘About Me’ section).

Firestarter EH
Firestarter was
never my favorite King property, but the original film wasn’t bad (you can read
my review for it, plus the sequel here---https://vampireclown82-2.blogspot.com/2020/06/burn-baby-burn.html). Those of you that share the same neutral
opinion as I towards the original, or feel even less about it, should steer
clear of this remake available on Peacock as well as theaters. I actually thought this was going to be okay
in the beginning, it being more of a re-imagining than a remake, but it most
definitely does not sustain itself much after that. It felt so incomplete by the time it was over
and not just with the ending itself (which I felt didn’t really make sense). The “very-Eighties” score by John Carpenter
(who was actually going to direct the original film at one time) is really the
only commendable aspect about this unnecessary update. 5/18/2022
Bonus review:
The Cursed OK
(haiku review)
So-so werewolf film.
Gothic atmosphere is great.
Creature designs suck.
