The Hab #2 is an interesting spin in horror in how it plays out with its reveals and progression

Posted on by Leave a comment

Trapped inside their would be refuge and cut off from a dying world, Tuttle Barrows and his handpicked survivors struggle to maintain their grip on sanity even as they are gripped by sudden and horrifying hallucinations. Soon, scars from the past are violently gouged open and revelatory memories long buried begin to spill out, clawing their way into The Hab’s macabre new reality. Resident physician Dr. Farooqi struggles to contain the spreading madness as something continues savagely dispatching the remaining crew one-by-one. Now, the only hope for survival lies in unlocking the ancient cave buried deep beneath The Hab to uncover the secret that will keep them alive – or end them forever.

The Hab #1 delivers a nice start to a horror story where you want to see everyone tortured

Posted on by

Mercurial billionaire Tuttle Barrows prepared for everything—even the end of the world. Years ago he wielded his immense power and fortune to build a massive sealed habitat atop a once protected ancient freshwater glacial cave. Now, as the world outside unravels, Barrows, his family, and a handpicked inner circle retreat to their final sanctuary—a place built to outlast civilization itself. But something was already there. Beneath layers of ice, in the ancient freshwater vault, a long-dormant danger lurks. While hallucinations twist their reality and violence spreads like a fever they must descend deeper or risk their last refuge becoming a tomb.

The Ends has an interesting concept and direction but fumbles in the execution of it all

Posted on by

It’s 1985 and Jennifer End and Angelo Rodriguez are deeply in love. But Jennifer can never reveal their relationship to their family. The Ends are considered by some to be traditional, but by most, they are known as intolerant, discriminatory, and bigoted. Her brother, Jack, is the worst of the bunch and a full blown, hardcore skinhead. During the summer, when Jennifer travels to Oceanside, a retirement home for veterans, to be with Angelo under the guise of visiting her grandparents, Jack discovers their relationship. Jack is crushed by the betrayal. He decides it’s time to take a stand. Jack organizes a rally in the peaceful town of Oceanside. Soon the town is overrun by neo-Nazi youths. The police struggle to maintain control, leaving the only hope with the aging World War 2, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans who reside in the town.
