ILLUMINAKING BY FAIZ FAISAL


Movie Reviews: The Bride! & They Will Kill You
This week's double feature couldn't be more different. The Bride! aims high with its gothic, artistic take on Frankenstein but left me wanting more, while They Will Kill You embraces its bloody, over-the-top survival horror roots and delivers a fun, entertaining ride despite its obvious Ready or Not comparisons. Here are my spoiler-free thoughts on both films.

Movie Reviews: Over Your Dead Body & Pretty Lethal
A troupe of ballerinas fighting for survival against ruthless criminals sounds ridiculous on paper, but Pretty Lethal somehow makes it work. While the movie occasionally stumbles with its ballet-action gimmick and underuses Uma Thurman, it's still a fun, gory, and entertaining thriller led by a charismatic cast.

Movie Reviews: Janur Ireng & Lagenda Kelam Malin Kundang
From the blood-soaked lore of the "Seven Families" in Janur Ireng to a dark reimagining of the classic Malin Kundang legend, modern Indonesian horror is taking big risks with mixed results. While I live for a good folk-horror twist—especially with names like Kimo Stamboel and Joko Anwar attached—do these films actually deliver on the scares? Join me as I break down why one felt like a repetitive game of cat-and-mouse and why the other left me hanging with a 4/10.

Movie Reviews: Dasim & Angkara Murka
Dasim and Angkara Murka fail to bring anything fresh to the horror genre — predictable scares, messy plots, and uninspired storytelling.
