The classic ghosts-in-revenge story expanded into an extensive dig into the historical social system while being funny and horny.

Despite it being one of the most visually impressive action movies I’ve ever seen, everything else fell short of my expectations.

At 2:17 a.m., every child in a third-grade class wakes up, leaves their home, and disappears into the darkness—except one. The next day, teacher Justine Gandy discovers that Alex Lily is the only student left, while the rest have vanished without a trace. Did Justine have something to do with it, or is a far more sinister force stalking the town, targeting not just children, but anyone in its path?

After the untimely death of his brother by way of an ambush in Kandahar, Afghanistan, the protagonist, ‘81’(Alan Ritchson) unsuccessfully makes several attempts to become an Army Ranger. On his last mission to complete the Ranger selection process he and his squad encounter an otherworldly ‘soldier’.

One thing’s for certain: Holmes has star power. We may not be able to see everything, but we’re certainly all watching.
