Make It ’til Dawn is my least favourite episode of the series to date, it has a lot going on with a number of different narratives but none of them are given their due. Written by Gene Hong and Tera Tolentino this Hallowe’en episode first aired on 25 October, 2019. Magnum (Jay Hernandez) gets paired…

It’s a Wonderful Knife (2023) – Tyler MacIntyre
With a title like It’s a Wonderful Knife, you can tell already what kind of film this is going to be. It plays on the classic Capra film, turns it into a horror movie, and also includes a lot of laughs. It has a solid cast and may become a new holiday favourite for horror…
Watcher (2022) – Chloe Okuno
Mike Flanagan recommended Watcher in a post on Twitter, and seeing as how much I enjoy his work, I knew I had to take a look at it. Watcher is an unnerving horror film, and a terrifying look at reality, the lead character, Julia (Maika Monroe) is constantly right about everything that happens, but because…
Hill Street Blues (1987) – A Pound of Flesh, and It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over
The penultimate episode of Hill Street Blues aired on 5 May, 1987. It was written by Christian Williams and it begins tying things up for the end of the series. Hunter (James Sikking) has been found, he was trapped, buried alive for eleven days, and it comes out that to survive, he ate part of…
Fallen (1998) – Gregory Hoblit
Denzel Washington doesn’t often take on roles in films that have paranormal or supernatural overtones, so when he does make one it’s got to be worth the watch. And Fallen is that. I hadn’t watched this one since it came out on VHS, oh so many years ago, and figured it was time for a…

The Equalizer (1987) – Inner View, and The Rehearsal
McCall (Edward Woodward) and Harley (Richard Jordan) – and again this could have been Keith Szarabajka’s Mickey – find themselves helping Karen Alden (Katherine Cortez), who may or may not be psychic. It seems she’s being haunted by visions of the Shadow Man (Terrence Mann) who is stalking New York City for his next victim….
The Equalizer (1987) – Coal Black Soul, and First Light
Apparently, neither the writers nor McCall (Edward Woodward) learned everything from last week’s episode, which featured an affair of the heart. Robert McCall has found himself in a new romance. He’s seeing Dr. Stephanie Davis (Patricia Kalember), a woman he saved from a peeping tom. The crux of the episode, Coal Black Soul, which was…
