    Night Patrol (2026) Review | MovieTalk+

    ⭐⭐☆☆☆ Night Patrol is one of those movies that sounds awesome on paper — cop thriller meets vampires in a gritty Los Angeles setting — but ends up feeling frustratingly half-baked, messy and boring once you actually watch it. At its core, Night Patrol has an intriguing premise: LAPD officer Xavier Carr (Jermaine Fowler) finds…

  • Whistle (2026) Review | MovieTalk+

    Whistle (2026) Review | MovieTalk+

    ⭐⭐☆☆☆ Whistle is one of those horror movies where you can clearly see the cool idea — but the execution just never lives up to it. Directed by Corin Hardy (The Nun, The Hallow), the film follows a group of high school students who discover an ancient Aztec death whistle. When it’s blown, it summons…

  • Talk to Me (2022) Review | MovieTalk+

    Talk to Me (2022) Review | MovieTalk+

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Talk to Me is a movie that honestly grew on me the more I sat with it. On my first viewing, I liked it. On repeat viewings, I got it. And once it clicked, it really clicked. On the surface, this is a slick, modern possession movie built around a simple but brilliant hook:…

  • The Plague (2025) Review | MovieTalk+

    The Plague (2025) Review | MovieTalk+

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ The Plague is the kind of movie that makes you uneasy from the opening moments and never lets that feeling go. I was filled with anxiety for pretty much the entire runtime — not in a cheap, jump-scare way, but in a slow, suffocating, sit-with-it kind of way. A huge reason that tension works…

  • Silent Hill: Revelation (2012) Review | MovieTalk+

    Silent Hill: Revelation (2012) Review | MovieTalk+

    ⭐☆☆☆☆ Silent Hill: Revelation is one of those sequels that makes you question why it exists beyond brand recognition. I hate leading with something this blunt — because people clearly worked hard on this — but the script is genuinely bad, and it drags the entire movie down with it. Nearly every line of dialogue…

  • Killer Whale (2026) Review | MovieTalk+

    Killer Whale (2026) Review | MovieTalk+

    ⭐⭐☆☆☆ Killer Whale is exactly the kind of movie you expect to stumble onto in January — a survival thriller clearly hoping to ride the wave of “shark movie season,” only this time swapping the shark for an orca. Going in, my expectations were low… but oddly enough, the movie briefly had my attention. I…

  • Hannibal Lecter Franchise Ranked (Worst → Best) | MovieTalk+

    Hannibal Lecter Franchise Ranked (Worst → Best) | MovieTalk+

    Few characters in film history are as instantly iconic as Hannibal Lecter. Across five films, multiple actors, and wildly different tones, the franchise has ranged from prestige horror to baffling misfires. Some entries understand what makes Hannibal terrifying and fascinating — others completely miss the point. This ranking is based on overall enjoyment, performances, and…

  • Silent Hill (2006) Review | MovieTalk+

    Silent Hill (2006) Review | MovieTalk+

    ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Silent Hill is one of those horror movies where I’m fully aware of its flaws while watching it, yet I’m still having a pretty good time. It’s not a great entry in the genre by any means, but it is effective, atmospheric, and occasionally straight-up badass in ways that caught me off guard. The…
