As a fan of all things horror and an undying love for Halloween, it's sometimes hard to find films to watch with my kids. Hocus Pocus 2 was not in the cards. Spirit Halloween was a let down. This was a well done family film released a couple weeks after Spirit Halloween the movie. I gotta say that Curse of Bridge Hollow achieved everything that the Spirit film attempted to do on a much higher scale. It's funny and has enough going on to keep kids engaged as well as the adults in the room. I'd be interested to see if this film gets a sequel. The Goosebumps franchise seems to be doing ok but to that this is a better film than either of those kid friendly Halloween movies as well. Well done Netflix on making a good film for the scary season.

This is basically a ripoff of Disney's Big Hero 6 meets the child's play reboot. There's nothing in this film that qualifies it as a horror film and after watching the unrated version I could only imagine how bland and absolutely Pathetic the theatrical release was given it was pg-13. James Wan gave us Malignant last yearand that was a breath of fresh air for the horror world. He then turns out this huge pile of crap that some how has managed to make enough money to make a second pile of crap. I'll be staying clear of James Wan projects going forward. He's to Comfortable making tame films in the world of horror( I could care less about the larger audience and his profits) this man made the original Saw film for Christ sake. His obsession with dolls is just overdone and I have really grown tired of supporting him thinking maybe he'll go back to his roots. The days of great horror films died in the 90's and Wan being such a huge fan has done very little to support his love for the genre by relentlessly releasing garbage pg-13 horror films and that needs to end.

So this is a film in which a company just throws money at the creator and tells them to make whatever they want. It's M. Night Shyamalan all over again. This film was all hype and really nothing about it as far as plot was good. The Characters sucked, I didn't care or have any interest in any of them. The villain was the worst thing I've seen in a sci-fi horror film in a long time. It was lacking in every aspect not scary or interesting just plain old lame. There's basically 2 stories happening in this film and neither are explained or really have a purpose to drive the film. I hate the writing as well as the plot and that of which it's conveyed. Worst film I've seen in years.
