Jeepers Creepers 3 (2017)

Starring: Stan Shaw, Meg Foster, Brandon Smith, Gabrielle Haugh, Chester Rushing
Director: Victor Salva


Premise:
A team of hunters are determined to stop the Creeper before his cycle is up and he disappears for another 23 years.

My Take:
The movie picks up from the end of the original and really acts like number 2 in the series. It has some fun moments with the kills and gore. Plus we get a little more on the lore of the Creeper.

Premise:
After the Presidential elections, a lesbian couple tries to cope with the outcome and changes in the people of the town while a young, angry man decides to run for city council. He also may the head of cult that is terrorizing and murdering people in the town.

My Take:
This season was rather exhausting to watch. Though there a three episode stint that had me engrossed, then as usual it falls off the rails. I really haven't been a fan a series for awhile yet for some reason I keep watching. Most of the main characters are painfully annoying. The interesting secondary characters dont make it. A few surprises and twists just are not enough nor is the base of the story in reality.

Starring: Xavier Samuel, Carrie Anne Moss, Danny Huston, Tony Todd
Director: Bernard Rose


Premise:
A team of scientists make a human in a laboratory. They consider it a failed experiment and terminate it; only to have the creation escape and set out on the world.

My Take:
Another take on the Frankenstein tale placed in modern times and from the monster's point of view. The cast is good but the story fails and remains rather mundane.

Sennentuntschi: Curse of the Alps (2010)

Starring: Roxane Mesquida, Nicholas Ofczarek, Carols Leal, Andrea Zogg
Director: Michael Steiner


Premise:
A mysterious woman show up in a remote village and a police constable must figure out where she came from.

My Take:
The film cuts between timelines where the constable is helping this lady who showed up out of nowhere and a group of herders in mountain who are toying with an old legend after a night of drunkenness. It's a fine flick as the viewer is constantly trying to figure out who these two timelines connect. And the legend is rather interesting as well.

Channel Zero: No End House [Season 2] (2017)

Starring: John Carrol Lynch, Abigail Pniowsky, Aisha Dee, Jeff Ward

Premise:
Season Two has a strange house appearing out of nowhere. Each each room messes with the minds of those who enters and brings up past tragedies.

My Take:
Such a strange mind screw of series. Two best friends enter what they think is horror attraction but really is a living breathing entity feeding off pain and misery. The show is disturbing and fun to watch unfold. The less one knows about it the better.

Director: Zackary Adlar


Premise:

Director: Paul W,S, Anderson


Premise:
Alice attempts to make it back to Raccoon City in hopes to release the cure for the virus and save all  human kind

A lot of chasing in this final battle to save humanity for the T-Virus and of course the same crazy action the series in known for.

Honestly I was never a big fan of the movie series, but big fan the original games, yet some how I managed to watched them all. Fans of the series will probably enjoy the final installment.

Premise:

Starring: Tatiana Maslany, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Jordan Gavaris, Kevin Hanchard, Kirstian Bruun, Ari Millen, Evelyne Bochu, Josh Vokey, Rosemary Dunsmore, Krya Harper, Stephen McHattie


Premise:
Season 5 has the clones banding together against Rachel, who know is in charge of the company, and the mysterious man who has been behind it all, P.T. Westmoreland.

My Take:
The series wraps up everything in a nice, neat little bow with a positive outcome for the sestras (a little too convenient). Tatiana Maslany is incredible as always and damn near the reason to watch alone.

I am still split on the series. At times it was outstanding and incredible television. At other times it was too convoluted and smart for it's own good. Overall, it's will remain one of the more interesting series of the decade.
