Reel Review Mom

This past Sunday ended up looking very different from what I originally planned. I know I said on Friday that I’d be diving into some of the new TV shows premiering this weekend, but when the day rolled around, I wasn’t in the mood for series-hopping. Instead, I found myself craving a good scare. So, rather than cozying up with new episodes, I went full-on horror marathon mode—and honestly, it was the best decision.

First up was a rewatch of The Amityville Horror (1977), streaming on HBO. This one is such a classic—slow burn, creepy atmosphere, and that unsettling “true story” vibe that makes it impossible to shake off, even after the credits roll. It’s wild how, decades later, the house itself still feels like the scariest character of all.

From there, I jumped into A Classic Horror Story on Netflix. The title almost sounds tongue-in-cheek, but don’t let that fool you—this Italian horror film is a stylish and unsettling ride, complete with cults, gore, and an ending that sticks with you.

To finish things off, I queued up Gretel & Hansel on Amazon Prime. This dark fairy-tale twist is visually stunning, with eerie forest landscapes, unsettling sound design, and a chilling atmosphere that makes you rethink the bedtime story we all grew up with. It’s creepy, elegant, and the perfect way to close out a horror-filled Sunday.

So yes, Sunday was all about horror—and I regret nothing, lol!
