Movie Review: Black Phone 2
When I first heard they were making a sequel to Black Phone—which I thought was a phenomenal horror movie—I wasn’t terribly excited about the prospect. I thought the entire story was told and there was no need to make another movie, other than for the typical money grab that Hollywood is so fond of. Despite that, I tried to keep an open mind when watching Black Phone 2.

| I am both a big fan of Norse mythology and historical fiction from this time period, so I had high hopes for this novel. Unfortunately, it did not come through in any way. I guess my biggest problem with the novel is the characterization. I didn’t fi ...more | |

“I have seen many atrocities, but they are outweighed by the kind deeds that may seem small, but when added together, create a strong human spirit. Perhaps you would benefit from living a simple life away from war and politics.”
― Two For Eternity
― Two For Eternity
“Horror itself is a bit of a bullied genre, the antagonist being literary snobbery and public misconception. And I think good horror tackles our darkest fears, whatever they may be. It takes us into the minds of the victims, explores the threats, disseminates fear, studies how it changes us. It pulls back the curtain on the ugly underbelly of society, tears away the masks the monsters wear out in the world, shows us the potential truth of the human condition. Horror is truth, unflinching and honest. Not everybody wants to see that, but good horror ensures that it's there to be seen.”
