The Grudge 2020. A horror remake. I believe that it acknowledged the older films. Sam Raimi was also involved in the making of this. I had not recognised Andrea Riseborough. I kept thinking that it was Anne Heche. Lin Shaye, John Cho also star. It does a few flashbacks. Tells the stories of victims of this curse. How they are all connected. I like the end credits song. Nice how there is silence during the credits. Good effects and jump scares. I was hoping for more graphic violence. You have a business woman that visited the haunted house in Japan. She needed to get back to the US. There is the young couple expecting a baby. Married pensioners getting a visit from a support worker. The main protagonist is a police woman. She has a son. They have only moved to the area. She partners up with the local detective. There is the haunted house which she decides to investigate. I wasn't sure what to expect with remakes. I am a horror fan. I will look at trivia and discussions. Feel free to see the rest of my blog.

I have just watched Stephen King's Doctor Sleep. It is the sequel to The Shining. Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson and other fine actors. Nice special effects, cinematography, soundtrack and acting. A creepy horror. Mr King would be proud. Danny is now a grown man. Still carrying his special gift. Homeless and has a drink problem. In another part of the country are a group of individuals. Also gifted. They have had long lives. They feed on children. Stealing their essence. References are made to the first film. They wanted to do it in Kubrick's style. It is a long film, over 2 hours. I recommend that you see this movie. I enjoyed many of Stephen King's books. One girl named Abra has powers and Danny must get to her before the villains do. I am going to look at the trivia and discussions. Rebecca is hot as always. Cast. Ewan McGregor. as Danny Torrance. Rebecca Ferguson. as Rose the Hat. Kyliegh Curran. as Abra. Carl Lumbly. as Dick Hallorann. Zahn McClarnon. as Crow Daddy. Emily Alyn Lind. as Snakebite Andi. Bruce Greenwood. as Dr. John. Jocelin Donahue. as Lucy.

Having watched the recent series. The finale was great. Sacha Dhawan and Jodie Whittaker shined. Nice origin story and twists. Lone Cyberman was a good villain. 

 I am currently watching The Flash and Legends Of Tomorrow. I started season one of CW Constantine. Stars Matt Ryan as the master of the dark arts. Good actors, special effects and story. John spent time in a mental health hospital. He had lost a young girl Astra to a demon. Legends tackles that story in season 5. He has to go help a young woman named Luv who's life is in danger. He is a good character. I saw the movie, animation and read the Hellraiser comics.





 Gemini Man is a SciFi thriller starring Will Smith, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Benedict Wong, Clive Owen. Good soundtrack. Nice special effects and filming locations. The opening scene is impressive where the hitman Henry is on a hillside. Sniper aimed at a target sat on a moving train. He wants to go into retirement. The head of the DIA doesn't want to let him go so easily. A new breed of soldier is sent to hunt him down. Henry is on the run with a few friends by his side. Good acting. Props to the body double and stuntmen. You do feel sorry for Junior. Nice dialogue. I recommend that you watch this film.
