Hannibal Rising (2007) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Hannibal Rising is a movie I genuinely did not expect to enjoy as much as I did — and trust me, I’m just as surprised writing that as you are reading it. From an entertainment standpoint, I think this film gets more hate than it deserves. It’s very different from the rest of the…

Red Dragon (2002) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Red Dragon was a bit of a surprise for me, mostly because of how stacked the cast is.

Hannibal (2001) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Watching Hannibal almost immediately after The Silence of the Lambs is a tough spot for any movie to be in.

⭐⭐☆☆☆ I really wanted to like Primate. I’d heard good things going in — not just from friends, but from reviewers whose tastes usually line up with mine, especially when it comes to horror. And while this movie isn’t bad, there was just too much here that didn’t work for me to fully get on…

The Exorcism (2024) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐☆☆☆ The Exorcism had an idea that could’ve been interesting — a troubled actor getting pulled into something real while filming a horror movie — but honestly, most of it just felt… basic. It never really became the scary, memorable horror experience it seemed to promise, and only a few moments actually grabbed my attention.…

Sinners (2025) Review | MovieTalk+
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sinners is the kind of movie that grabs you early and never really lets go. From the moment it settles into its setting, you can feel that it’s building toward something bigger than just scares or spectacle. This is a horror film with mood, confidence, and a clear sense of identity — and it…
