WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I’ll be honest, and I don’t care if I sound like terrible person here, but watching A Quiet Place: Day One I cared more about the survival of Frodo the cat that any of the actual human characters involved. Anyway, I’ve always seen this as a questionable concept – …
If We Prequels Have Offended
The First Omen
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers It’s very rare that I get the opportunity to write an article based around a film in the same year that it has actually been released (thank you 2024 for all the upcoming content!) Now, I’m sure you’re aware that this probably won’t be my only The Omen article …
Before the Tremor
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I think I’ve said this before, but there’s a lot of times that turning a film into a franchise can really ruin a great concept. Now I don’t know what the sequels are like, however what I will say is that the prequel definitely turned out better than expected…wait, …
Beginning with Bumblebee
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers In order to watch this article, I watched Bumblebee for the first time, but I had to make myself suffer through Transformers for the second time. I put it this way because the film was just as bad as I remembered. Now, that’s not saying that Bumblebee was a …
Into the Cube
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers When I first watched Cube, I put it up there with being as good as Saw. Maybe not as clever but I definitely enjoyed the concept in the same way. I’m probably going to repeat myself later on but I don’t think the prequel stood up to the standard …
Monster’s Inc and University
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I realised when writing this review that I hadn’t seen Monsters, Inc. since it was released back in 2001! I’ll be honest, no offense to Pixar but the animation really has not held up to the test of time. Now to the importance of this article, was it worth …
Battle of the Prequels
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers It is very rare for two versions of a prequel film to be include in a film’s anthology. I’m being serious, both Dominion and Exorcist: The Beginning are included in the DVD boxset. It does make you wonder if one is a deliberate remake of the other or if …
The Birth of Ouija
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I’m sure it’s pretty obvious that Ouija: Origin of Evil is the prequel to the 2014 film Ouija just from its title but are these films connected in any other way? Let’s see… Just a Silly Game I guess this is where all these kinds of stories start, …
Underworld: Going back to where it began
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers An important fact to remember regarding these two films, is that the prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans has no impact on our protagonist’s, Selene, life in Underworld. It is time to understand where the war between the Lycans and the Vampires really began. The Birth of Lucian …
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
WARNING: This Review Contains Spoilers Ever since I was a child, The Wizard of Oz has been one of my favourite films, to the extent that it was my go-to film when I was ill. Released in 1939, it brought L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to the screen, with Judy Garland in …
