HallowScream - Resident Evil (2026)

       Hey guys, Chuck here, and this is my review of new movie Resident Evil, based on the game franchise by Capcom. Co-written and directed by Zach Cregger, this movie stars Austin Abrams, Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, Will Merrick, and Paul Walter Hauser. 

      So, the movie follows Bryan, a medical courier assigned to deliver a vital medical package to the general hospital in Raccoon City, where a deadly mutagenic virus has been unleashed by the Umbrella Corporation. In Bryan's path are deadly monsters that he must get past to make his delivery in tact. 

       So, obviously, this plot is one made specifically for this movie, as are the characters in the movie. The only elements from the Resident Evil games in this movie are the location, Raccoon City, and the Umbrella Corporation unleashing a deadly mutagenic virus. And, you know what? The movie still works even without such characters as Albert Wesker, or Leon Kennedy, or Jill Valentine, or the siblings Claire and Chris Redfield. The plot is straightforward, Austin Abrams as Bryan is an easy to follow protagonist, and even the likes of Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, Will Merrick, and Paul Walter Hauser as employees of the Umbrella Corporation were all excellent. 

      The creature designs were definitely nightmarish, in all the best ways. The snowy environment throughout the movie adds a different dimension to the genuinely chilling and frightening scenario. Zach Cregger, who directed this movie and wrote it along with Shay Hatten, genuinely delivered on a truly frightening film that, of you ask me, is easily the best movie in the Resident Evil franchise. So, yeah, definitely worth seeing. 

       Alright guys, this is Chuck signing off, and HallowScream will continue next with my review of Wednesday.

Review - Hazbin Hotel Season Two (2025)

       Hey guys, Chuck here. And, we have another season of streaming television to talk about. The second season of Vivienne Medrano's animated series Hazbin Hotel has recently wrapped up its run on Amazon Prime, and here are my thoughts.         So, since the events of the first season, Charlie Morningstar, Vaggie, Alastor, Husk, and Nifty have gotten many more guests from n the recently remodeled Hazbin Hotel. However, there seems to be some confusion, as many of them are at the hotel to learn to kill angels, as opposed to the hotel's purpose of rehabilitation and redemption. A rising voice from Vox, the demon with a television for a head, spreads doubt about the whole redemption thing, as there's no evidence that a soul from Hell can be redeemed and enter Heaven.         Even in Heaven, there is a question of how Sir Pentious, who was the only one from the Hazbin Hotel to redeem himself and enter Heaven, managed t...

Christmas Review - Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse (2001)

        Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, it's the holiday season once again, which means it's time for some fun Christmas reviews. And, while in the past, this has been done in the form of 12 Reviews of Christmas , I feel as though I've exhausted so many Christmas titles worth talking about, that there simply isn't enough to warrant twelve days of them. So, going forward, there will instead be a handful of Christmas reviews spread intermittently throughout the month of December.         And, we're kicking off our Christmas reviews with the 2001 direct-to-video Disney special Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse . For some background, in the year 1999, Disney aired a series called Mickey Mouse Works , which introduced a new collection of shorts starring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. However, after two seasons, Disney replaced it with the similarly themed House of Mouse , which saw Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, along with...

Review - Song Sung Blue (2025)

       Hey guys, Chuck here. Song Sung Blue ,.which is based on a true story, is a new musical film released by Focus Features. Written and directed by Craig Brewer, this movie stars Hugh Jackman, Kate Hudson, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Michael Imperioli, Mustafa Shakir, and Jim Belushi.         The movie tells the story of Wisconsin musician Mike Sardina, who forms a close bond with fellow musician Claire Stingl, and how the two go on to become the front duo of a Neil Diamond tribute band known as Lightning and Thunder. And, of course, the movie follows the romance, marriage, and the many trials and tribulations that Mike and Claire go through over the years.         Now, I have to admit that I wasn't sure what to expect when watching this movie, but I will admit that I had a really fun time with it. The chemistry between Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as Mike and Claire was absolutely fantastic, and their singing w...
