🎥 Movie Reviews — here’s what we thought:
🤖 Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 (2025)
A year after the first film’s horrors, Mike, Vanessa, and Abby try to move on — but Freddy and the gang aren’t done with them yet. When Abby reconnects with the animatronics, she unintentionally reawakens a long-hidden secret tied to the very origins of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. Bigger lore, deeper scares, and a surprisingly emotional core make this sequel a step up.
🪦 Hamnet (2025)
A quiet, aching historical drama where grief becomes art. Chloé Zhao reimagines Shakespeare’s family life following the death of his son Hamnet, exploring how loss shaped his writing and his marriage. Poetic, human, and deeply emotional — this one lingers.
