I finally got around to watching "As Above, So Below," and I must say, it's a fantastic film. It's a shame that so many found-footage movies fall short, but this one is exceptionally well-crafted. I especially enjoyed its loose inspiration from Dante's Inferno. You could say it's like "National Treasure" or "Lara Croft" but set in hell. If you see the movie, definitely check out the trivia section on IMDb afterward; it's quite insightful.

The Entity is a solid horror film that seems to have flown under the radar for many. It's inspired by the real-life case of Doris Bither, who claimed to have been sexually assaulted by an invisible force. I recently watched two more underrated horror movies: The Ruins (2008) Frozen (2010)

Disturbing Behavior is an oddly overlooked film. Perhaps the unreleased Director's Cut would have been met with a warmer reception. Here are a few more movies I’ve been watching lately: Urban Legend (1998) Breakdown (1997) The Ninth Gate (1999) — Quite slow, yet oddly captivating. Stir of Echoes (1999) Session 9 (2001)

I can't believe I'd never heard of Frailty before. It's a well-acted, intriguing movie with a twist that might or might not work for you, but I found it to be great. It's a tightly executed film that's definitely worth checking out.

Hamnet is finally available for streaming! I've been really looking forward to this movie, and it did not disappoint. It's been a long time since a movie made me cry. You don't need to read/see Hamlet before watching Hamnet, but familiarity with the Bard's work will make you appreciate this movie a million times more.

Inscryption is such a fun game. I made a 7/7 card that hits three times and named it God. But the game’s tough, and I keep dying. I need to rethink my strategy—probably best to keep a thin deck so I can actually play God more often.

Falling Down (1993) This movie is crazier than expected. I enjoyed it.

Season two is about to drop. I was pleasantly surprised with season one.

Good episode.

The best scene in the movie, hands down. DiCaprio's performance is incredible.

I can’t believe I overlooked this movie. It’s incredibly entertaining, hilarious, and kept me engaged the whole time. And the cast is just fantastic!

It's the best book I've ever read. However, I wouldn't go so far as to say it's superior to Actualized.org. What I particularly appreciate about Moby-Dick is its exploration of determinism and fate.

Great movie. Tense and funny.

Thank God it was just a dream.

I never watch movie trailers; I rely on the premise, genre, reviews, and my gut feeling. I actually enjoy lists, like the IMDb Top 250, WGA, and others. Plus, ChatGPT knows my taste and recommends movies for me.

The ending of this movie is totally wild!

They Live is a fun and engaging movie for anyone interested in themes of awakening.

Vacancy is a surprisingly good film. Very watchable.

Compared to what we've experienced of season 2 up to this point, season 1 was more compelling.

Jeepers Creepers really shines in its first half. Overall, it's a very entertaining film. The sibling relationship between Darry and Trish was particularly well-executed. Justin Long also stars in two other excellent horror movies: Drag Me to Hell and Barbarian.

I Know What You Did Last Summer is a fun movie. I love Sarah—she was fantastic in Buffy, which I think has some of the best storytelling in any TV show. Joss Whedon’s Firefly is amazing as well.

Love Liza is worth watching if you're a PSH fan.

Nothing beats SFX in my opinion. VFX opens up a whole new world of possibilities, but no matter how impressive the effects become, they can’t match the groundedness and presence of SFX.

Yeah, it's definitely more in line with System Shock and BioShock than the first Prey. Even so, it has its own unique vibe, which I really liked. It's a pretty tough game, too. My only real complaint is that I wish it were twice as long. The ending feels more like a halfway point than a real conclusion.
