The Strangers Chapter 3 review

 

The third and final movie in the Strangers trilogy has finally drawn the three part horror story to a close and it is as boring and uninspired as the other two entries. Final girl Maya returns and after the ending of chapter 2 she is put squarely in the sights of the strangers as she struggles to survive admist being hunted and ultimately captured and forced to become a killer rather than a victim. This movie really strugglers from having any sense of real urgency as it meanders from one scene to the next. Various flashbacks to the past showcasing The Strangers many kills over the years does little to help as not knowing about these characters is what at the end of the day makes them so scary and real.

Performance wise it's pretty subpar Maya played once again by Madelaine Petsch is fine but really lacks any sort of energy especially in high tensions cases, I get it's because she's supposed to be scared for her life but it really hinders these moments rather than add to them. There's also very little dialouge this time around instead trying to voice the characters by their actions and while some points do work sort of it just falls flat on it's face for the most part with some really poor choices and decision making. 


All in all The Strangers trilogy has been a total failure in nearly every aspect. From the poor characters, writing and lack of any urgency and tension it's conclusion is both uninspired and doesn't feel warranted at all. Chapter 3 is just about better than the really bad Chapter 2 but it's still nothing to write home about as the trilogy ends on a big whimper more than a final bow that feels earned.

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
