Movie Reviews
Film and television reviewed the way I’d want to read them — with a rating that means something, an honest accounting of what works and what doesn’t, and craft notes for writers who want to understand how the machinery operates.
Each review includes a craft notes section for writers — specific observations about structure, character, world-building, and what the film does that you can actually use. Not theory. Technique you can steal.
Haunted House (2)
The Amityville Horror (1979)
A family moves into a Long Island house where a mass murder occurred, and supernatural events drive them out.
The Conjuring (2013)
James Wan directs the period haunting based on the Warrens' investigation of a Rhode Island farmhouse in 1971.
