The Rezort - A Zombie Vacation

A zombie movie! Yes, I love zombie movies even when they’re terrible. This one had a good premise; it was much about the humans and their own kind of evil, rather than the zombies. They were just the excuse the humans need (or don’t) to make stupid mistakes and do bad deeds.

Far From a Masterpiece

I must admit the movie wasn’t good, but it could’ve been. Well, at least a little bit better. I mean, we have a post-apocalyptic world with a zombie infestation, where everything is rebuilt and everyone is trying to find a way to live and achieve normality again and go back to their daily lives.

It’s new; usually in this sort of story, things don’t come back to what they were. Usually, they build a new world, totally different, like in The Walking Dead, but here, humanity wins. Maybe.

I think they mean to show us that what truly happens is that mankind never learns.

Vacation and Trauma

Instead of finishing off all the zombies, they decided to create a beautiful place to go on vacation. The special attraction? Zombie killing! What could possibly go wrong?

Well, beyond that, we have a protagonist with some traumas - PTSD - from the time of the war (or so they called it when the zombies ran free), but that’s not really fully explored, as with pretty much everything else in the movie.

As in movies like Quarantine 2: Terminal, even the ideas that could indeed be very interesting are, unfortunately, totally neglected.

Learn to Question

Is it worth it? It may depend on how you like to spend your time. Yet, it teaches us to pause and think critically about things. How?

I don’t want to give you spoilers or anything, so let’s just say that in the end, you’ll be asking yourself how it was possible that after so many years, no one had even wondered how the resort was still in business.

Wednesday 2 (Part 1) – A Gorgeously Dark Return to Nevermore

Wednesday Season 2 lands with all the gothic flair that made the original binge-worthy —this time spotlighting even richer family dynamics and chilling new mysteries at Nevermore Academy. The first four episodes dropped on Netflix August 6, 2025 , with fans grudgingly waiting until September 3 for Part 2 . Why It’s Still a Blast Jenna Ortega continues to shine as a morose sleuth grappling with her supernatural talents and unwanted hero status. Her sharp delivery and deadpan wit are as compelling as ever. Family ties get deeper attention —Pugsley’s arrival at school, Morticia’s campus involvement (with Catherine Zeta-Jones in flamboyant form), and intriguing new faces like Steve Buscemi as the oddball new principal elevate the ensemble. Atmosphere and aesthetic remain rich and inventive. Tim Burton’s return as director (including a delightfully eerie animated sequence) and the inclusion of ominous crows and haunting visuals continue to delight. Mystery hooks abound...

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story - review

While I found the pacing of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story slow and, at times, even boring, the show shines in one particular area: its psychological depth. What kept me engaged wasn’t the storytelling rhythm, but the way it explored two very distinct and haunting personalities under the same roof. Two Sides of the Same Violence The series captures the sharp contrast between Lyle and Erik brilliantly. On one side, we see the volatile, angry, and violent brother—unpredictable but outwardly dominant, always ready to explode. On the other side, there is the insecure, fragile “mouse” of the family—timid, hesitant, almost paralyzed by fear. Yet, what makes Erik compelling is that under the right conditions, even he can lash out violently, especially when pulled into the orbit of his more aggressive brother. The dynamic between them feels like a nightmare recipe: one commanding, the other submissive, but both carrying destructive potential. The Many Shape...
