Serenity 

The makings of a great midseason filler episode that would connect in many different directions. This is a police drama filler with a guest director.

Disney movies have taken a bit of a downward turn recently. How come?

Not every film can make a shopping mall feel both magical and menacing, but Forbidden Fruits challenges that.

The Invitation takes a creeping look at two simple premises: reuniting with forgotten friends and new-age spiritualism. Though one seems a bit scarier than the other, the film heightens social awkwardness to a macabre level that puts an uncomfortable look on when the social taboo of grief is put on public display.

Seriously, and this is coming from someone who was extremely skeptical before giving it a watch. I assumed the show would be painfully boring, but one of the show's strongest qualities is you needn't know anything about the lore to get invested in it.

If the message here is that without a support system, grieving people turn into monsters, it’s not really well-delivered and may be flawed as a message itself.
