Movie #1: Weapons
When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance.
My rating: 4.5/5!
Halfway through this movie I had no idea where it was headed but it eventually came together in dramatically satisfying fashion, capped by a completely bonkers highly memorable climax.
Movie #2: Final Destination: Bloodlines
Plagued by a recurring violent nightmare, a college student returns home to find the one person who can break the cycle and save her family from the horrific fate that inevitably awaits them.
My rating: 4/5!
From its visually spectacular opening massacre at the Sky View Tower to its inspired domino death sequences, this latest installment in the franchise delivers equal parts dark humor and gratuitous gore. Great fun!
Movie #3: 28 Years Later
A group of survivors of the rage virus live on a small island. When one of the group leaves on a mission into the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors.
My rating: 3.5/5
Tense, terrifying, heartfelt, and compelling, but ultimately feels like a dramatically unsatisfying piece of a much larger narrative puzzle.

Oh! Weapons does sound good. And as a fan of the campiness that is the Final Destination series, I’m anxiously awaiting to get a chance to see the new one.
Thanks for the reviews! I’ll be sure to check them out.
Have a great Saturday! 👋🏻
Sorry Joe, I thought Weapons was a bit pants (do you say that in Canada?) I think that after watching the trailer the actual film was meh. The prequel would be interesting?
I enjoyed Bloodlines as another in the series and Tony Todd bless him in his last film.
I was so looking forward to 28 Years Later but I assumed that it would be more like the other two, which it isn’t. Won’t mention any more in case people haven’t watched it! Those are my rubbish reviews! Obviously everyone else can ignore them!
I hadn’t heard anything about Weapons and when in completely cold so I was pleasantly surprised.
The lesson to me is don’t watch any trailers! Going in cold’s the way to go
