“Abigail” Review

Abigail: Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett. With Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Alisha Weir, William Catlett. After a group of criminals kidnap the ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, they retreat to an isolated mansion, unaware that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.

If you’re a fan of Dan Stevens (like me!) you’re having a good time this year, as this is his second movie that’s currently in theaters that you can see him in, the other being the current Godzilla x Kong: New Empire. This is the superior of the two movies, with more Mr Stevens and a better plot that was a fun horror story. If you’ve seen the trailers, you’ve unfortunately had one of the great horror twists spoiled, but it doesn’t stayed all that mysterious for very long in the film, only about 20-30 minutes. The action is great, the acting is fantastic, and Melissa Barrera absolutely kills it in yet another fantastic ‘final girl’ style horror film.

Donald Trump’s ongoing trial in the US is a unique spectacle for us to digest in the UK. Mainly because, in our criminal trials, it’s traditionally the judge who wears a ridiculous wig, rather than the defendant.

“The Crow: City of Angels” Review

The Crow: City of Angels: Directed by Tim Pope. With Vincent Perez, Mia Kirshner, Richard Brooks, Iggy Pop. The spirit of the Crow resurrects another man seeking revenge for the murder of his son.

I’m astounded that the first one did well enough that a sequel was green lit, but I guess at this point they threw a few big names at the screen to see if they’d work, like Thomas Pane, Iggy Pop and Mia Kirshner. They’re using the same mid 90s miniatures and green screens, the same grungy soundtrack, locations, and people, and the story is just a cringy as the first one, though this time it’s a man and his kid that are killed and thrown off a pier that prompts the bird to grant a resurrection and powers to the grieving father. The villain is much more interesting this time around, with him understanding what the situation was pretty quickly and using some magic of his own to usurp the Crow’s abilities, but alas it was all for nothing, as The Crow has other crows to give him powers, and if all those other crows fly through The Crow, then The Crow gets all his powers back (which are unrelated to crows or birds at all, but maybe leather and motorcycles?). It’s a bit of a leap to call this sequel entertaining, but it was definitely a movie that I watched tonight.
