The Spell of ‘Midsommar’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

Though a relative newcomer to the genre, Ari Aster is already one of the most accomplished and effective horror filmmakers of his generation. Midsommar, his sophomore effort into the genre, is a truly bizarre and memorable experience that tells of a group of friends falling into the clutches of a Pagan cult in Sweden.

The Tragedy of Jason Voorhees – ScreenHub Entertainment

Even the most charitable opinions of the Friday the 13th series write it off as an enjoyable camp with little substance. I don’t fault the series for this as Friday the 13th never aspired to be anything more than straightforward genre fun. In many ways, it has already exceeded that goal, still going strong after 40 years even with its relatively simple formula. I’m a … Continue reading The Tragedy of Jason Voorhees – ScreenHub Entertainment

No Maniac, No Problem: Why ‘Halloween III’ Is Great – ScreenHub Entertainment

1982 saw the release of one of the most reviled films of its time, the highly anticipated third entry in John Carpenter’s Halloween series. Halloween III: Season of the Witch had nothing to do with series’ villain, Michael Myers, and left audiences feeling betrayed and tricked.

How ‘Halo’ Tackles Religious Extremism – ScreenHub Entertainment

Most people would praise Halo for its intense action before its intelligent storytelling. The classic science fiction shooter series certainly isn’t short on excitement, but the story it tells, particularly in the second and third games, is far more complicated than it first appears. When examined closely, the Halo series weaves a tale of religious fanaticism as complicated and rich with allegory as any, and … Continue reading How ‘Halo’ Tackles Religious Extremism – ScreenHub Entertainment

How Netflix’s ‘The Dark Crystal’ Improves on Henson’s Film – ScreenHub Entertainment

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is quickly becoming the latest streaming blockbuster on Netflix. Since its release, the Henson Company helmed dark fantasy has garnered almost universal acclaim by both new fans, and old admirers of the 1982 film that spawned it.

A Very Spoilery Review For ‘Once Upon A Time In…Hollywood’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

Quentin Tarantino’s 9th film has proven that the director still has the imaginative energy that continues to make him one of Hollywood’s hottest talents. It also manages to be perhaps his most sentimental, low key, and perhaps even his most outrageous film to date. In case the title didn’t make it evident, we’re going to be entering spoiler territory. So without further delay, let’s discuss … Continue reading A Very Spoilery Review For ‘Once Upon A Time In…Hollywood’ – ScreenHub Entertainment
