With a foot indoor waterfall, complete with cliff jumpers, a series of cave-like nooks and different dining areas themed to different regional Mexican architectural styles, Casa Bonita inspired wonder and awe in those who visited, like Parker, who visited the restaurant when he was a child. And this new documentary details all of their pain and heartache in excruciating detail. Viva Casa Bonita! This looks very, very scary. Is it even Halloween without a new Blumhouse movie? Make of that what you will.
This will get you some much-needed, pre-Halloween thrills. This coming-of-age dramedy first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year where it received rapturous reviews. Thompson, and Madison Davenport who play a game that ends up with them switching bodies. You know, that old chestnut.
The trailer is very engaging and people had a blast with the movie at the festivals. But here we are. And they have to stay alive and untangle the mystery while doing so. And it allows directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who also directed the third film, just enough narrative framework to stage big action set pieces like a plane crash and a shootout in a Day-Glo art exhibit and a climactic showdown in a derelict alligator farm, with a kind of reckless abandon.
Bring on movie 5. But do know that there is something mysterious — perhaps supernatural — about the lake. And know that M. Crocket, played by Elvis Nasco. This is one of the biggest original horror films for this Halloween. Just be sure to keep an eye on your kids. Crocket is around. Now, the movies are finally streaming in America.
