‘Urban Legends’ trilogy limps to end with ‘Bloody Mary’ (2005)
Sorvino magnetically ridiculous in ‘Mighty Aphrodite’ (1995)
Woody Wednesday (Movie review): It includes a lot of Allen staples, but Mira Sorvino’s unusual Oscar-winning performance makes this film stand out.
‘Pearl’ a darkly moving, stylish origin story of ‘X’ villain
Movie review: At the same time they made “X,” Ti West and Mia Goth also made its prequel, and – while it’s a different type of film – it’s just as good.
Flanagan goes YA for ‘Midnight Club,’ but never fear – it’s still good
TV review: The switch to young-adult source material doesn’t mean Mike Flanagan’s high bar has been lowered. This is another artistic mix of heart and horror.
‘Omen’ (2006) may not be necessary, but it’s great
Six weeks of ‘The Omen’ (Movie review): Director John Moore pulls off a neat trick of respecting the original narrative while adding his own style.
‘Halloween Ends’ by digging into shape of evil
Movie review: The “H40” sequel trilogy takes a surprising turn, but the pulpy vibe and delicious Carpenter score make for a holiday celebration.
Devil menaces next gen in ‘Omen IV: The Awakening’ (1991)
Six weeks of ‘The Omen’ (Movie review): Damien is dead, but oddly, the franchise isn’t. It continues with this repetitive and unnecessary TV movie.
‘Goodnight Mommy’ remake scrapes by on mood, twist
Movie review: The story is simple yet watchable, with a decent twist. But this remake doesn’t achieve the tragic poignancy it aims for.
Damien grows up (fast) in ‘The Final Conflict’ (1981)
Six weeks of ‘The Omen’ (Movie review): Inexplicably 32 years old a decade after being born, the son of Satan makes his big play for world domination.
‘Damien: Omen II’ (1978) a respectable continuation
Six weeks of ‘The Omen’ (Movie review): In what could be a prototype for the “Final Destination” films, Damien duly comes of age and embraces his heritage.
