Master (2022) ☆☆(2/4): A racially tame campus horror flick

Fresh (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): I recommend you to watch it fresh (If you are ready)
It is not so easy to tell you what and how “Fresh” is really about. Because its effectiveness mainly depends on a series of twisted surprises popping up along its diabolical plot, I will try as much as possible for … Continue reading
Scream (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): A slashing legacy sequel its franchise deserves
During last several years, we are served with a bunch of reboots and legacy sequels ranging from the recent Star Wars trilogy to “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” (2021) and “Candyman” (2021), so it is rather fateful that now we come to get … Continue reading
