Netflix Series Review: The Fall Of The House Of Usher

As someone who is a HUGE fan of almost all of Mike Flanagan’s works, I think you can safely presume that I absolutely loved Netflix’s The Fall Of The House Of Usher. In fact, dare I say that this horror series on Netflix might be one of Mike Flanagan’s best work yet! 

A love letter to several short stories written by Edgar Allan Poe, The Fall Of The House Of Usher is a spine-chilling horror series that shows how a once-powerful and wealthy family come face to face with their ruins, and the supernatural forces that seem to haunt them for sinister reasons.

Fair Play Movie Review: A Brilliant Portrayal Of Toxic Masculinity And Gender Politics

I am usually the last person to ever watch anything that is pitched as a “sensual, erotic thriller”, but just for Phoebe Dynevor, I was willing to make an exception and watch Fair Play on Netflix. And I am so glad I did, because this has to be one of my most favorite feminist thriller films to date!

A gripping and unnervingly disturbing look at the downward spiral of a power couple’s relationship, Fair Play movie is a brilliantly made thriller that shows just how dangerous fragile masculinity can be.

Netflix Watch List: Favorite Top 10 Horror Movies Of All Time

As someone who has grown up watching horror and thriller films, you’d think I would be immune to ghastly jump scares, revolting corpses, and creaking doors that have minds of their own, by now. But it’s the opposite actually. Even at the age of 20 something, I am still terrified of horror films…and can’t stop watching them. 🤣

The Menu Movie Review: A Delectable Thriller With Social Commentary

When it comes to my favorite horror or thriller movies, I have always had a soft spot for the ones that hit close to him–especially when those films try to weave in themes that one would not expect in the horror genre. And one such film that I recently watched and absolutely devoured is The Menu, a mindblowing horror movie that starts out as a brilliant satire but quickly morphs into a disturbingly sinister thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

All The Light We Cannot See Trailer, Release Date And Cast

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Netflix’s All The Light We Cannot See trailer that just dropped a few weeks ago. If you have been around this blog for a while, you know how much I absolutely adore All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.

Netflix Series Review: The Sandman

Warning: this review is more of a ramble than a proper review because I am still too mesmerized after watching this masterpiece of a show to collect my thoughts.

The Sandman on Netflix is a fantasy TV show based on the comics series of the same name by Neil Gaiman and published by DC Comics. It follows the story of Morpheus, a brooding, morally ambiguous, and self-involved anthropomorphic personification who governs the realm of dreams of all living beings.

Netflix Series Review: The Haunting Of Bly Manor

Having a mother who is obsessed with horror films I have watched my fair share of the scariest movies you could think of–the list includes box office hits and underrated gems alike. And as I grew older, I realized that not only did I share a love of the terrifying unknown and inexplicable with my mother–we also shared a love for horror stories that were more than jump scares, possessions, and tales of revenge.
