Smile 2 is Taking on a Genius Point of View Through a Pop Star

  Credit to Parade I finally watched the Smile 2 trailer in theaters when I went to go watch A Quiet Place: Day One (it was surprisingly a great film).  I was so surprised when the main character was revealed.  I was not expecting the film to focus on a pop star.  Finally, something original and new in the horror genre! I always wondered how it would be like if someone famous were to experience a horrible curse. The smile curse concept coming after a pop star through the many disguises of her fans is honestly terrifying.  Her fans are going to take on a sinister edge, meaning that nowhere is truly safe for this pop star.  The trailer showed enough for me to become totally hyped up for the film, I'm so excited to watch Smile 2 in theaters on October 18th. I have yet to watch the first film, but I'm glad to see that we are getting a brand-new perspective in the sequel! Thank you for reading!  Emy Quinn

The Thing Still Intrigues Me With its Mystery of Who Became 'The Thing' First

The Thing by John Carpenter is still a cult classic after so many years. Horror fans are still talking about to this day of the order with who became the thing's victim in what order. I have dwelled on this mystery through countless YouTube videos of everyone's theories on who was hunted down in what order. 

It's honestly so awesome that we horror fans know that the majority of the cast bites the dust, but we can't help ourselves. We are left with unanswered questions, ones that we crave like the Thing absorbing each of its victims. The tension is also so amazingly done by the cast. 

The terror the characters experience in their horrible situation builds on the confusion we horror fans feel. The characters are just as lost when it comes to the Thing taking them down one by one. They are not aware who is the Thing, and they grow more and more scared and frustrated as the film progresses. 

I cannot stress enough how many times I have tried to analysis the film. I still attempt to figure out that first shadow we get of the possible first victim of the Thing. I have seen this movie about five times, and I still don't know what the hell happened. 

The Thing is truly a masterpiece. One of the best mystery films I have ever witnessed!

I'm so angry that with single watch of this movie, I always get jump scared by that freaking blood test scene! The silence is so effective, another great aspect of the film!

Thank you for reading!
