Mr Harrigan's Phone- A Netflix Movie review 👌👌Very interesting picture
I’ve long been a fan of Stephen King’s novellas, and some of them have been turned into great films in the past, including “Stand by Me,” “The Shawshank Redemption,” and “The Mist.” The master of horror’s 2020 collection If It Bleeds opened with a wonderful little ghost story called “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone,” which is now a Netflix original horror film from John Lee Hancock, the director of “The Rookie” and "The Blind Side." He brings the earnestness of those films to King’s ghost story and proves to be the wrong filmmaker for this project. “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone” needed a viciousness that Hancock eschews in favor of blunt commentary about dependence on technology that sounds about as in touch as that old relative of yours who will lecture you about why he’s never going to get a smartphone. Hancock’s adaptation, which he also wrote, takes forever to get going, and then seems almost afraid of its own dark themes of vengeance when it finally gets to them. An early engaging performance from the great Donald Sutherland and a consistently grounded one from Jaeden Martell keep “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone” from completely going dead, but you’re going to want to send this one to voicemail.The wealthy Mr. Harrigan (Sutherland) hires a young man named Craig (Martell) to read to him because the old man’s eyes are going in his later years. He’s a deeply analog man who doesn’t own a TV or even a radio, even if he likes listening to his “Country Western” tunes in the car sometimes. He comes to life not just when Craig reads material like Heart of Darkness but when they discuss the themes after. It’s a formative friendship for Craig and a lovely final chapter for Mr. Harrigan, who clearly has stepped on a few people on his climb up the corporate ladder. He encourages Craig to be ruthless and decisive, whether it’s in standing up to a high school bully or approaching a girl he likes. He gives Craig confidence, and Craig gives him some late-in-life comfort.

Prey For The Devil Review
Prey for the Devil is a horror film that fails to offer anything new or original to the genre. The story follows Anne, a nun with a troubled past who dreams of becoming an exorcist, but the Catholic Church does not allow women to learn the rites. The film addresses the fact that demonic possession is almost always a superstitious person's explanation of profound mental or physical illness and the horrors of previous church practices. However, the film's use of symbolism and imagery is either handled without grace or intended as poorly planned propaganda. The scares don't work, the presentation is a mess, and the messaging is either confused or unforgivable.

"The Mysterious Package: A Twin's Reunion"
It was a typical Wednesday evening when I heard the familiar hum of a drone flying overhead. I stepped outside to see a small, sleek machine lowering a package onto my front porch before quickly flying off into the distance. I couldn't help but feel a sense of intrigue and excitement as I walked over to inspect the package. It was wrapped in plain brown paper, with no return address or any indication of who it could be from.

Things Heard & Seen (2021)
"Things Heard & Seen" is a unique film that masterfully combines elements of Gothic horror and a portrayal of a deteriorating marriage. The film, directed and written by husband-and-wife duo Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, stands out as a rare thriller that showcases the duo's diverse filmography, which includes the critically acclaimed "American Splendor" and the less well-received comedy "The Nanny Diaries." The story begins with a man arriving at a remote farmhouse in winter 1980, where he discovers something dripping on his windshield from the ceiling - blood. He rushes inside to find his young daughter alone, and we soon learn that something terrible has occurred.
