Chaotic Reviews - "The Nun"
As moviegoers, we've all seen it. Many times. The continuous amounts of sequels, prequels of sequels, remakes and franchise gobblers. Once the Hollywood money machine grasps a concept, the sequels come pouring in. Go where the money is. Cater to and capitalize on sheep-like audiences. Even when the rest of us are sick of it.

'Mandy' Is a Roller Coaster Ride Through the Gates of Hell
Mandy starring Nicolas Cage is a hell-raising retro-trippy horror film tracing back to the 80s with LSD drug-induced hauntingly-beautiful fantasy images that will give you nightmares with a twist of Satanism! It's a violent, bone-chilling disturbing, sinister satanic “rock opera.” If you've ever witnessed rock films like Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” and Rocky Horror—you can well relate to a classic heavy metal album such as Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell and combine it “Ghost Rider” and “Raising Arizona” where one of the characters wears a warrior vest. Nicolas Cage's character, Red Miller, wears one also. They should create Mandy: The Ride at Disneyland. I think that would be a big hit with the tourists.

'The Nun' Movie Review: A New 'Conjuring' Spin-off Has Arrived!
The Nun is the biggest horror movie opener since The Conjuring, and it gave us endless suspense from beginning to end. So The Nun movie is the prequel to The Conjuring and the movie was a solid horror film. Right from the beginning, Jason Blum, who is the CEO of Blumhouse Productions, gave us a genuine suspense and I was spooked completely.

'The Night Eats the World' (2018)
The hardest part is…not knowing what’s happened to them. If there’s one horror genre that pops up ad nauseam, it’s that of zombies. Not a month goes by without a release in which undeath feast on innocent, non-infected fellow humans. Since the cult film Night of the Living Dead by George A. Romero, a countless number of zombie flicks have already been made. Every once in a while they try to give it an original twist to make it more comical or profound. So that for once the emphasis isn’t on the bloodthirstiness and the jump scares. Something like Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies or Warm Bodies. These movies bring a smile to your face rather than scaring you. Others try to put in some more melodrama as in Maggie. The Night Eats the World (original title La Nuit a dévoré le Monde) is such a film that tries to follow an alternative path in the zombie genre. Just like in Dead Within, the film deals more with the psychological state of mind of a survivor than about the destructive character of the infected persons.

'Within': Review and Aftermath
This article will contain spoilers; turn back now before continuing. I have seen my fair share of horror movies. It's the only genre I'm ever in the mood to watch. My personal favorite is paranormal; slashers are unpredictable and terrifying, but nothing freaks me out more than something that we are not capable of seeing.
