The Weekly Horror News: Amazon Prime Show cancelled, Morbius delayed

Coming as no surprise at all, I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, has been cancelled by Amazon Prime Video.

It actually is no surprise that there isn't going to be a second season.

First of all, the last episode of the season seemed like the last episode of the series. Everything was wrapped up with Allison and Margot walking away happily, and Dylan accepting his sentence because now he gets to talk to the people about the cult.

There didn't seem to be a point to a second season anyway. The cliffhanger in the end with Riley waking up was hardly note-worthy or a scene that piqued curiosity. It didn't matter how she woke up and if a second season was granted, it would have bordered on the ridiculous plot of showing that the cult had supernatural powers and hoarded life-giving honey.

Secondly, the acting was just atrocious and none of the characters was likeable.

This show will not be missed.

In other news, Morbius will not be released in January after all. Delayed six times, this movie from the Marvel Universe will now release on April 1st. Why? The pandemic of course. With the new variant Omicron, creating havoc across the world, the studio clearly doesn't want to release a movie that will not get a proper theatrical release.

The studio is optimistic that by April at least, the virus would be subdued a little. Let's hope it is.

Also opening today is Scream, the fifth movie in the franchise. So far, the movie has generated positive reviews.

While critics praised the original cast, they weren't too enthusiastic about the new cast or the ending. Most of them missed the magical touch of Wes Craven who had the capability to land jokes and shock viewers with plot twists.

Fans have been urged to not reveal any spoilers.

On Rotten Tomatoes, Scream holds a rating of 77 percent by critics and 92 percent by the audience.

Let's see how these numbers change over the course of the week.

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer. Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Delirium (2018)— My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: After leaving the asylum and put in house arrest, Tom begins to believe the house is either haunted or he is hallucinating. Most times, when we think about criminals, we wonder what could possible have prompted them to fall into a life of crime.

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying. What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
