    Scream 7

    It’s finally here: my long-awaited review of Scream 7. We’re diving into the newest installment in my all-time favorite horror franchise, and I’m just going to say it upfront: this was a five-star movie for me. I loved it. 👀 That doesn’t mean it’s flawless, I’ve definitely got critiques, but even with its issues, this one stands miles ahead of the last two films for me. Now I need to know…did you overlook the same flaws, or are we about to disagree?

    The Rip & Send Help - Double Feature!

    This week on Booked for the Movies, we’re breaking down The Rip and Send Help and let’s just say… these survival stories hit very differently. 👀 One left me questioning everything (including my two hours), and the other had me fully stranded in the chaos. Are they gripping thrillers… or duds that leave you side-eyeing everyone you know? 🎬
