Into the Dark: Pooka! (2018)
4 out of 5 Christmas Trees
Haters will say it's a bad movie but it should be given a chance! Creepy, funny, horrific Christmas, it's nice to get another movie about toys. This Christmas horror about obsession and toy possession has now become a classic in my book, so I have to watch it at least once during the holiday season. I enjoy the Pooka lore
There can never be too many Christmas (or holiday season) thrillers or horrors. Kinda hoping they'll go for a third installment, the second was pretty decent, go check it out. If you have a love for possessed toys n' friends and children, mixed with craze and obsession, then you'll at least 'like' this movie.
He Sees You When You're Sleeping (2002)
3 out of 5 Christmas trees
I love a Mary Higgins Clark film. These movies are a fever dream production of the books within the series - and that is what I love so much. Going in the audience should be prepared for that. This isn't an academy award winning production but it's still a production and it's entertaining and that's something you can appreciate.
This movie was actually cute. Crazy how long it took the protagonist to realize he was a guardian angel to his daughter though. Even still the plot was unexpectedly sweet and cute. I love stories with the guardian angel plot anyway. If you're looking for something unassuming, slightly dull yet adorable with a little action, you should watch this.
Into the Dark: Pooka Lives! (2020)
3 out of 5 Christmas Trees
Pooka Lives! Is not as good as the first Pooka movie (to me). They lost the plot somehow, somewhere and got carried away. At a certain point I forgot this was a movie about Pooka and it became frustrating to focus. Maybe that was the point? I still enjoyed the Pooka lore though; it's horrific, it's silly, and it's over the top. The ending was cool too.

Unforgivable (1996)
Yea Right
This is an "exception to the rule" movie. This movie is an ode to domestic abusers, has intention for people to sympathize with domestic abusers, and is ultimately unrealistic. It's a science-fiction movie of how an idealist would hope a scenario like this would go about this. It felt more like an episode of an Outer Limits episode, it was that outrageous. Very pro villain. If you're into watching things with an undertone like that, then watch. Otherwise, it can be triggering for people who have actually dealt with this with an ending not at all similar.
