Deviation (2012)
My quick rating - 3.2/10. Well, this movie was bad. I thought the premise sounded decent enough: "Told over one horrifying night, Deviation will take you on a white-knuckle journey into the mind of Frank Norton." OK, Frank ( Danny Dyer ) is an escaped murderer. Good start, and he takes Amber ( Anna Walton ) hostage. So far, you have a movie brewing. WRONG. After this, it is the boredom of silence in between Frank killing people in boring ways for no apparent reason. The film

Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023)
My quick rating - 6.3/10. I admittedly never did watch the TV series featuring Idris Elba on the BBC, which is unfortunate. This thriller jumps right in with both feet at an alarmingly fast pace. The story is thrown at you very quickly, so paying attention at the start is a must. The plot itself isn't confusing nor remotely plausible, but will help understand what is happening. Elba already plays an established character and I assume I am missing a bunch but I gather he is a

Knock At The Cabin (2023)
My quick rating - 6.0/10. Good to start out right away with a creepy Dave Bautista . The flick presents an intriguing premise with its mix of hostage drama and apocalyptic themes. The film follows a family on vacation, who are unexpectedly taken hostage by armed strangers. As the situation unfolds, the family is presented with a life-altering choice that could potentially avert the end of the world. The performances of the cast are generally solid, with Bautista doing a comm

Blood (2022)
My quick rating - 4.6/10. Well, Michelle Monaghan was great in this flick. Her son is bitten by the family dog, and soon after, the kid realizes, while in the hospital, that he must drink fresh blood to survive. Why she ends up so good is how she plays out a single mother who will literally do whatever is necessary to keep her son alive and well. Monaghan is really the only point to watching this flick since it never gets exciting, never turns down a horror road with gore o

Severance: Season 1 (2022)
My quick rating - 8.4/10. Unfortunately, the only place to check this one out is on that cesspool, AppleTV (wink wink). You had to figure sooner or later they would put out something worth it. Severance: Season 1 (2022) #thriller #IMDB #Plex

The Price We Pay (2022)
My quick rating - 5.5/10. Even though he seems like a douche, I have always been a fan of Stephen Dorff , especially after the criminally underrated Botched . Speaking of, this movie has a similar wrong guy at the entirely wrong place vibe, such as that flick had. This time, Dorff is hired to rob a pawn shop, in the middle of some small town, that has 250K in cash (i think that was the amount) on hand. Never mind how there is no WAY in hell they would have that much cash, it

Who Invited Them (2022)
My quick rating - 5.0/10. Not sure why this is billed as comedy/horror since there is not entirely enough of either of those things to qualify it for that. This is your prime example of doing just enough to make a passable thriller that you aren't going to complain about, but still aren't telling your friends to check out. This flick ended, and I said, "That was a pretty good made-for-TV movie." That is about the extent of the feeling it conveyed. Our writer/director, Duncan

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Season 3 (2022)
My quick rating - 8.0/10. I haven't reviewed the previous 2, so I won't bog you down. This season, just as the others, is just a solid and well-written, acted and directed show. I honestly couldn't say there was much fluctuation in quality, and just more or less felt it has been a very well-made show that continues to entertain. This season has a very real feel to the story it is telling, especially with the war that is raging right now. Check it out on Amazon if interested.

Resurrection (2022)
My quick rating - 5.7/10. This one definitely is a slow burn that still keeps you interested, especially if you have any familiarity with abuse and trauma, both physical and mental. Rebecca Hall plays the lead fabulously and makes the slower pace all worth it due to her screen presence. She has been mentally dominated and destroyed at a young age and now years later, the repressed emotions start rising up to the surface when she sees the man who had done this to her. Equally
