The episode of Revisited covering The Others was Written, Edited, and Narrated by Ric Solomon, Produced by Tyler Nichols and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
If you go into any AMC theater in the past year, you’ve been graced with one of the best theater chain openings of all time. I’m sure anyone watching this video knows exactly what I’m referring to. If not, it’s none other than Nicole Kidman welcoming you to the movies. Her onscreen presence has been nothing short of incredible. She has starred in some truly great films such as Eyes Wide Shut, Moulin Rouge, Cold Mountain, and this writer’s favorite Practical Magic. But back in 2001, Nicole teamed up with Alejandro Amenabar to make one of the creepiest supernatural horror flicks of all time. It’s a film that was not only a big box office success, but...

The episode of Revisited covering V/H/S was Written and Edited by Ric Solomon, Narrated by Kier Gomes, Produced by Tyler Nichols and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
Ever find yourself breaking into someone’s house with the intention of not taking anything of value… just VHS tapes? While I don’t think, or want to believe anyone watching this video has ever thought of doing something that juvenile, it is the central story arc of 2012’s V/H/S (watch it Here). I’m sure you’re thinking “Oh great, another found footage film. What can this one do for me that I haven’t already seen?” Well for one, it was a huge cult classic and so successful that it has spawned multiple sequels and spinoffs! So, on this episode of Horror Revisited, we ask that you not sit too close to the tv,...

The episode of Revisited covering Hellboy II: The Golden Army was Written by Emilie Black, Edited by Ric Solomon, Narrated by Niki Minter, Produced by Tyler Nichols and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
Following the beloved Hellboy adaptation that was released in 2004 by Guillermo Del Toro, fans wanted more. As reviewed on a previous video, that one is excellent, so it was not surprising when the sequel was announced. Thus, in 2008, Hellboy II: The Golden Army (watch it Here) was released, and it ruled!
Let’s start with the rating here and it’s a complicated one for me. It’s actually hard to rate it because my reviewer brain, the part of me that is highly cinematically educated wants to give it an eight out of ten, which isn’t bad, but my heart wants to say it can’t be rated on a normal scale.

Steel yourselves for adventure, drag a Coca-Cola-soaked comb through your coif, and stand at least two miles away from the mushroom cloud because we’re looking back on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!
Fifteen years before Indy turns the Dial of Destiny, the unflinching archaeologist embarks on the most contentious mission of his fabled career to recover a telepathic crystal skull before a squad of Kgb agents, led by Cate Blanchett’s Irina Spalko, can use the jeweled remains to unlock the secrets of mind-controlling knowledge. Peppered with triple-crosses, death-defying acts of derring-do, and ill-fated attempts at passing the torch, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull finds the saga at a technological crossroads, with much of the franchise’s on-location magic replaced with CGI environments and rubber snakes.
The trek toward bringing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull to screens is fraught with setbacks,...

The episode of Revisited covering The Exorcist III was Written and Edited by Ric Solomon, Narrated by Kier Gomes, Produced by Tyler Nichols and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
In 1973 William Friedkin unleashed his iconic horror film The Exorcist upon the masses. Since its release, it has been widely regarded as one of the most influential and iconic horror films of all time and would go on to have a huge cultural impact. It tapped into primal fears and because of its powerful storytelling, was able to captivate and terrify audiences. I think its safe to say this secured its status as a timeless horror classic. But we’re not here to discuss a movie that has been dissected, overanalyzed, added to most people’s Top 4 films on Letterboxd and reviewed by everyone and their mothers. No, in this episode we want to talk about the “true sequel” to this iconic film…...

The The Crow: City of Angels episode of Revisited was Written by Emilie Black, Narrated by Niki Minter, Edited by Ric Solomon, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
While not exactly horror, The Crow: City of Angels (watch it Here) appealed to my dark, goth, horror loving heart back in the day and still does to this day. The 1990s were a period filled with horror and cool films, sometimes films that were both. These days, a lot of people are more into the aesthetics than the content when it comes to art, film included, and The Crow: City of Angels is all aesthetics and a little bit of a dark story that calls to the heart of fans of the original and a few others who stumbled upon it.
Let’s start with the obvious here, this movie is not beloved, not...

The Thirteen Ghosts episode of Revisited was Written by Emilie Black, Narrated by Niki Minter, Edited by Ric Solomon, Produced by Tyler Nichols and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
Welcome to the early 2000s, when horror was loud, in your face, and not worried about a thing! Horror fans were spoiled with theatrical releases happening regularly, so much so that some weeks saw more than one big horror title opening on the big screen at the same time. Fans were treated to everything, including serial killers, slashers, ghosts, and aliens. There was a bit of everything for everyone, but in pure early 2000s style, a lot of films were all style, all gore, and all fun. This was the only way to follow the late 1990s and their revival of many sub-genres and careers. Thir13en Ghosts (watch it Here) was and still is, easily one of the...

We’re wrapping this week up with a new episode of the Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? video series, and with this one we’re looking back at one of the most maligned sequels ever made: the 1997 release An American Werewolf in Paris (watch it Here). How did this follow-up to An American Werewolf in London go so wrong? Watch the video embedded above to find out!
Directed by Mute Witness‘s Anthony Waller, who also wrote the screenplay with Tim Burns and Tom Stern, An American Werewolf in Paris has the following synopsis: A group of carousing American tourists is taking in the cultural landmarks of Paris when a chance encounter results in sightseer Andy McDermott saving the life of Parisian Serafine Pigot. While on a date at a nightclub with Serafine, Andy is suddenly attacked and bitten by a werewolf. The next day he discovers that Serafine is also a lycanthrope,...

How do you follow up an action classic? That had to be the question on director Renny Harlin’s mind when he signed up to direct Die Hard 2: Die Harder for 20th Century Fox and producers Joel Silver and Lawrence Gordon. 1988’s Die Hard was a smash hit beyond anyone’s expectations. Overnight, it turned Bruce Willis, who was then a TV star on Moonlighting, into the next action icon. One movie was all it took to make him one of the three biggest action stars of the era. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis – they were the guys, and Die Hard was the movie responsible for launching Willis into superstardom. But how would they follow it up?
Launching a sequel wasn’t exactly a piece of cake, with director John McTiernan opting out of the series (temporarily) to direct The Hunt for Red October (itself an action classic). In his place,...

Gangsters, in general, are not the kind of people you want to land on the bad side of and the genre is as old as celluloid itself with some incredible films demonstrating just how brutal their world is. Look away from The Godfather if you’re a fan of horses (or James Caan for that matter), behold the various and frequently shocking headshots in The Departed, Casino’s torture by vise, or even the brutal double death by baseball bat in the same movie. It’s a wonder why we find these characters so fascinating but that’s just the thing — we love ‘em!
Over the last few years, the genre has seen some more intriguing installments, but among the many movies featuring gangsters, there aren’t many that can be hailed as true classics. The Irishman was an interesting if slightly flawed return to the genre for Martin Scorsese,...

Our first explosive Face-off episode of 2023 takes a look at two bleak depictions of societal breakdowns, political issues and misplaced heroism through the perspective of seriously damaged anti-heroes. Both Taxi Driver and Joker stand as memorable psychological thrillers and true showcases for their leads.
In Taxi Driver, Travis Bickle is a self-proclaimed “god’s lonely man” just “waiting for the sun to shine” and he wants to clean the streets of the scum, the dogs and the filth. As a Marine vet with Ptsd, out of the jungles of Vietnam and back into the asphalt jungle of New York, there are few he can turn to. He’s also built himself into self-delusions, believing he must “save” people, chiefly two females: campaign worker Betsy and prostitute Iris.
Joker‘s Arthur Fleck, on the other hand, is a failed comic who suffers from mental illness (think Carrot Top without the props!

Do you like scary movies? Good cause you’re in the right place! Today, we’re throwing it back to 1996 when Wes Craven’s teen horror-comedy Scream was one of the highest-grossing R-rated movies that year — and easily the biggest money maker for the horror genre at the time. So, of course, it had a sequel. And by a sequel, we mean four of them with another one on the way! Let’s focus on the first two sequels from this killer franchise.
Coming at the dawn of the new millennium, Scream 2 and Scream 3 starred Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox and looked to break the rules of a sequel and a trilogy, could do. But is Randy Meeks right? Do all sequels suck? Not exactly. But they definitely do in certain categories. So let’s settle this. Which of these inevitable sequels is the best? Is...

Chevy Chase will always be most identified with his hapless dad character from the Vacation franchise, Clark Griswold. While this is ironic given his edgier roots on Saturday Night Live, it can’t be denied that National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation has become an enduring classic, with the film airing over and over whenever the holidays approach. Written by John Hughes, the film is a departure from the racier National Lampoon’s Vacation and its sequel, European Vacation, in that this time the Griswold’s family adventures would be on the tamer side.
Rather than take his family on vacation, this time Clark assembles his relatives for an extended family reunion, with Randy Quaid’s fan-favourite Cousin Eddie returning for a victory lap from the first movie. Once again, the gorgeous Beverly D’Angelo co-stars as Clark’s wife, Ellen, but as usual for the series, the two kids, Rusty and Audrey, have been recast.

As much as people complain today about Hollywood remaking their favorite movies, back in the ‘80s, it was all the rage! And it actually improved some old movies with cool concepts. In 1982, director John Carpenter took a famous Howard Hawks creature feature and transformed it into a paranoia-inducing, psychological monster movie with some of the best special effects that hold up to this very day with The Thing starring Kurt Russell. The titular Thing is able to duplicate any living organism to give itself the best chance of taking everything over. Every single cell of this being is dangerous. It could be any one of us. Yes, even you!
In 1988, Chuck Russell and Frank Darabont reintroduced us to the ultimate eating machine. No, not Jaws! He brought back the gelatinous force of The Blob. It doesn’t matter how strong you are, how tough you are, or how great your mullet is,...

For the past decade and a half, Marvel has completely dominated the box office with some of the highest-grossing films ever produced with the likes of Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Even the small screen has succumbed to Avengers fever with hit shows such as WandaVision, Loki, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and the more recent She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. With Marvel’s Phase 4 currently underway and Kevin Feige revealing the slate for both Phases 5 and 6, we thought now would be a marvelous time to reflect on the earliest phases that got the MCU machine up and running.
Even though it seems like a no-brainer now, there was a time when the success of the MCU was not a sure thing, but thanks to the foundation laid by Phase 1 and Phase 2, it ensured the longevity of the interconnected universe for years to come. Phase 1 consisted of films that established the core heroes — Iron Man,...
