The Salem's Lot remake is a major disappointment for HBO, falling far short of expectations. What could have been a gripping horror revival feels more like a generic, made-for-TV movie. The lackluster acting and cheap production values don't justify its premium platform; honestly, this would have been more at home on CBS as a late-night filler. The suspense is minimal, the scares are nonexistent, and the once-iconic story is reduced to a bland, forgettable mess. HBO should have aimed much higher with this one-it's a letdown in every sense. I was shocked to see HBO green light such a horrible remake!

Blink Twice delivers an engaging and well-paced thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The story moves quickly, maintaining suspense and tension throughout. However, while the pacing is spot-on, the film suffers from a lack of depth in explaining why the men act in such horrific ways. There's little exploration of their motivations, which makes it hard to fully understand their cruelty or connect with the narrative on a deeper level. Despite this flaw, the movie is still an enjoyable watch for those seeking a fast-moving thriller with intense action sequences that will keep you interested.

Trap is yet another disappointment from M. Night Shyamalan, a director who once thrilled audiences but now seems lost in his own twist-obsessed storytelling. The acting is wooden, making it impossible to care about the flat, underdeveloped characters. Plot holes abound, leaving viewers scratching their heads at the nonsensical storylines. Shyamalan's once-unique touch now feels tired and predictable, proving that he's far removed from the visionary who gave us The Sixth Sense. This is a misstep in every sense. Sadly trap is a misstep in every sense and offers nothing new to the genre; save yourself the trouble and watch The Sixth Sense or Unbreakable over again.
