Omen III: The Final Conflict is a half-baked horror-thriller that had its moments for sure, with the wonderful Sam Neill in one of his early films in his career.

Damien: Omen II Blu-ray Review
I actually enjoyed Damien: Omen II ever so slightly more than the first film, but it’s not without its problems, that being some of the editing and pacing, though Jonathan Scott-Taylor actually wasn’t bad as Damien.
The Omen (1976) Blu-ray Review
Although I don’t hold The Omen in as high regards to some as I never found the plot itself all that enegaing, the film does have its moments and genuine creepiness and a bit of a dark fun factor going for it.
Killer Nun Blu-ray Review
Killer Nun is a messy horror film under the ‘nunsploitation’ label though outside of a sometimes intense performance from Anita Ekberg and some interesting moments here and there, this never quite captured my attention.
Annabelle Comes Home Blu-ray Review
Annabelle Comes Home is the finale in what can only be described a poor and clichéd spin-off series, despite some of the more technical accomplishments, thwarted by bad, lazy scripts.
Gwen Blu-ray Review
Gwen shares some similarities with the The Witch mostly with the slow burn aspects and remote landscape and time early time period. I wasn’t a fan of The Witch and didn’t think much of this film.
The Shining 4K Ultra HD Review
The Shining is a great and eerie atmospheric horror-thriller that might feature Jack Nicholson’s best performance, at least early on, only later when going full-on psycho, but still an entertaining flick from Stanley Kubrick.
Awake Blu-ray Review
I was a little disappointed in Awake as I am usually a fan of the crime-drama genre, however the convoluted and contrived plot was too much to ignore, though I do like seeing Jonathan Rhys Meyers in a leading role.
Gremlins 4K Ultra HD Review
Gremlins is a very good mid-80s film that I might not have loved but still an enjoyable viewing experience every time I’ve seen it over the years, and has excellent special effects with the Mogwais.
Pan’s Labyrinth 4K Ultra HD Review
Pan’s Labyrinth is an amazingly creative movie from filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and while I’m not totally in love with it, the visuals combined with a deeply tragic setting, the film does resonate.
Inside Man: Most Wanted Blu-ray Review
Inside Man: Most Wanted might not be great and pales in comparison to its predecessor, but I suppose it is mildly entertaining for what it is and I do appreciate it didn’t shy away from a connection to the first movie.
Shaft (2019) Blu-ray Review
Shaft is a movie I went with minimal expectations so on those grounds, I guess it exceeded them, and honestly there were some genially entertaining moments and Samuel L. Jackson, and to a lesser extent Richard Roundtree, were the highlights of the film.
Child’s Play (2019) Blu-ray Review
Child’s Play is actually a fun flick that re-imagines the original just enough to kind of be its own thing, with some similar plot elements yet still feels fresh even being in the killer doll sub-genre.
Who Saw Her Die? Blu-ray Review
Who Saw Her Die? isn’t a great film within the giallo subgenre but it is noteworthy that is stars, at least in physical form, George Lazenby but the movie itself doesn’t have the best pacing and does take its time to get the plot moving along.
A Score to Settle Blu-ray Review
A Score to Settle is an uneven revenge-drama but through the first two-thirds, Nic Cage seemed to be under control, but by the final third, when emotions are high, we get the Cage we know and generally mock.
