Nefarious (2023)
Worth the watch
What is scary is this movie makes you think of all the little things humans participate in daily that culminate into a larger spiritual battle taking place on Earth. You can believe or not. More of a psychological thriller movie than the typical possession horror movie full of grossness & ceiling crawling antics this movie delivers the creepy feeling all the same at the end. It is hard finding horror movies these days worth the watch, but this movie is great. I felt the writing & acting was better than anything I've seen in a long time. Sean Patrick Flannery was superb in his role & kudos to him he was creepy & not laughable as some actors in other possession movies that are entirely ridiculous. Definitely, worth the watch. And I definitely recommend.
Nancy Drew (2019)
Not Your Classic
It would have made for a more fun show if this one followed a classic Nancy Drew and world. I would have loved to have seen Nancy sleuthing not in modern times. The show brings in the supernatural which is different and a little fun but makes it really corny less like Supernatural and Buffy and more like that ridiculous show Charmed.
This is another teen formula show. Although the characters are out of high school it follows like a high schooler show. The main characters are swapping sex partners within their close knit group, teens are hooking up with older people who are in the wrong and never face the consequences. At least George scolded Ryan on this show and understood finally that that type of thing is wrong as most teen shows flaunt it as if it should be normal.
Nancy's relationship with her dad is like any other teen show. Blaming the parents, fighting, etc. Not like their strong relationship in the book. It would have been nice to have a show displaying a good parent-kid relationship and not another dysfunctional one. I'm just saying I wish this show was more grown-up mystery instead of the same teen stuff. Bonus, it hasn't flung far left views too much in your face. If you're okay with this show just using names and place names from the books give it a try.
Roswell, New Mexico (2019)
Awful
I didn't mind the first series even though often the story lines were bad and it was terribly cheesy, but it is definitely the better version. This version lacks genuine acting, the actors are not suited for their roles although it may be due to the characters are not very likeable, believable, or fun. They are not characters that interested me in the slightest. Right off the bat they are really lackluster. The characters act as if they are still in high school to boot. It really lacks the sci-fi fantasy action that one wants & needs in a TV show about aliens. This show is throwing in your face diversity just to have diversity as if it a law for TV shows now, be politically correct & motivated by current politics rubbing it into your face with each episode big time. Some social commentary current event mentions is fine if done in an intelligent not forceful way. This is what happens these days when shows feel as though they have to cater & be PC, & try to convince viewers that anyone from anywhere living in America is A-OK as long as they are not from outer space!
