Barry (2018–2023)
10/10
A thrilling and humorous ride
5 June 2023
Barry is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise it gets. This series brilliantly blends genres and takes the audience on a thrilling and humorous ride. The character development is phenomenal, and I find myself deeply invested in the journey of Barry Berkman. The writing is sharp and keeps me engaged from start to finish. The performances are exceptional, particularly Bill Hader, who showcases his range as both a hitman and an aspiring actor. The show offers a unique perspective on the theater arts scene, and I love how it explores the contrast between the darkness of Barry's profession and the passion for acting. It's an absolute must-watch for anyone seeking compelling storytelling and brilliant performances.

Holy Spider (2022)
9/10
A Profound Examination of Societal Prejudice
5 June 2023
Holy Spider (2022) is a thrilling and thought-provoking film that kept me on the edge of my seat. The portrayal of the serial killer's heinous acts and the journalist's relentless pursuit of justice created a tense and gripping atmosphere throughout. Zar Amir-Ebrahimi's performance as the journalist was truly outstanding, capturing the character's determination and bravery in the face of danger. The film sheds light on the dark realities of society, challenging the age-old misogyny that still persists in certain cultures. Holy Spider is a must-watch for those who appreciate intense crime dramas with a social message.

Malum (2023)
2/10
Absolute Disaster
3 June 2023
Malum is an absolute disaster of a horror movie that fails to deliver any genuine scares or engaging storyline. From start to finish, it's a complete letdown. The director's attempt to remake their own film, Last Shift, only showcases their lack of creativity and imagination.

The plot is as predictable as they come, following the tired formula of a rookie police officer uncovering a mysterious cult. There are no surprises, no original twists, just a rehashed narrative that fails to offer anything new to the genre. It feels like a cheap cash grab, relying on jump scares and excessive violence to compensate for its lack of substance.

The characters in Malum are nothing more than mere cardboard cutouts. They lack depth, development, and any semblance of relatability. It's impossible to invest in their fates when they are so poorly written and underdeveloped. Even the talented cast couldn't salvage this sinking ship.

Furthermore, the film's attempts at creating a chilling atmosphere fall flat. The scares are predictable and cliché, relying on tired horror tropes that we've seen a thousand times before. It's a shame that the movie relies more on cheap thrills than genuine psychological horror.

In terms of production value, Malum does little to impress. The visuals are lackluster, and the special effects feel amateurish. It's clear that the budget was allocated more towards marketing than actual filmmaking. The end result is a visually unimpressive and forgettable experience.

Overall, Malum is a prime example of a wasted opportunity. It fails to deliver on its promises of terror and suspense, instead serving up a bland and uninspired horror flick. Save your time and money and explore other genuinely terrifying movies that offer something fresh and innovative.
