‘The Exorcist Believer’: A slow beginning and stale acting

By Anusha Bhargava, Contributing Writer • October 11, 2023
In addition to it being lackluster, the plot also had holes in terms of the demon's motives and background. It was unclear as to what the demon wished to achieve through the girls and if there was any real reasoning behind possessing them. While those questions might have been answered in a previous movie, it wouldn’t have hurt to clue in viewers who watched “The Exorcist: Believer” as a standalone movie.

Though "Antebellum" has interesting concept, the film's poor structure leaves the audience confused.

Review: ‘Ouija: Origin of Evil’ relies on feeble jump scares

By Jake Leary, Staff Writer • October 31, 2016
“Ouija: Origin of Evil” attempts to go beyond flashy style, establishing complex, human relationships that are lacking in much of modern cinema.
“Blair Witch” follows James (James Allen McCune) and his friends (Wes Robinson, Valerie Curry) through the Black Forrest Hills in search of his sister, whose seventeen-year disappearance has sparked horrific rumors.

Review: ‘Blair Witch’ fails with repetitive plotline

By Jake Leary, Staff Writer • September 26, 2016
There’s no fooling the internet, which is where this sequel belongs. “Blair Witch” would be better served as a YouTube short than as a feature film.
