They will kill you, a psychological thriller directed by Kirill Sokolov (No Looking Back, 2021) and starring Zazie Beetz (Joker, 2019), Patricia Arquette (Stigmata, 1999), and Tom Felton (Harry Potter Films), follows a woman after she accepts a position as a housekeeper in a historical high-rise building in New York City.

Things spiral into horror as Asia stumbles onto the sinister secrets lurking within the establishment’s walls.

Asia learns that she has been recruited into a dark realm, with eternal consequences for her and her sister.

No longer accepting the role of a victim, Asia gives off (The Bride) (Kill Bill) vibes as she protects herself and tries to defend her sister from the building’s demonic inhabitants.

This film was an exciting good time. A little bit of comedy blended with a lot of action. The fight sequences were impressive. Beetz’s onscreen performance was definitely memorable, while the storyline caught my attention. The supporting cast was a good fit. Patricia Arquette’s role (Lilith) could have been more developed, but the writers have a lot to work with if they decide to make this a franchise.

The special effects and kill scenes gave me a nostalgic, old-school feeling while still blending elements of modern horror-movie magic.

Overall, this was a movie that will make you laugh, jump in fear, and make you believe you can fight like the one and only “John Wick”.

I gave this film 3 stars for fun energy and thought-provoking storytelling.

Scream 7 Review

Scream 7, directed by Kevin Williamson (Scream VI) and starring Neve Campbell (Scream 1996), Courtney Cox (Scream VI), and Mathew Lillard (Scream 1996), is a screaming good time with fun moments, jump scares, and thrilling kill scenes!

The seventh installment in the horror franchise follows Sidney Prescott as she juggles her new life as a wife, mother, and businesswoman.

Sidney’s attempt at a normal life is shattered as her traumatic past resurfaces, with the infamous Ghostface killer returning in dramatic and gruesome fashion.

While a new generation of victims suffers their demise, the story paves the way for new heroes to rise, faithfully intertwining elements of a plot that made us fall in love with the iconic horror franchise.

The action, mystery, and overall thrill made this film stand out in a good way. Campbell’s portrayal of Sydney Prescott is beyond iconic. Cox’s return as Gail Weather’s was historically heroic. Sydney’s daughter, Tatum, portrayed by Isabel May (1923), was a strong addition to an already strong cast. She did a great job holding the story together, while Mathew Lillard’s reprisal of Stu provided an equally relatable balance to the storytelling.

The special effects were over-the-top and blended well, while the new Ghostface costume design and personality flair presented a bold, edgy strength and arrogance that projected well on screen.

The score draws the audience in, blending ’90s nostalgia with modern elements and creating an immersive atmosphere that delights horror fans.

Scream 7 is a great addition to the franchise.

It’s a must-see and deserves five stars!
