 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So we're mostly going to be talking about horror updates in this video here today But at the end of it after I'm done with these horror updates regarding the scream seven saw X and Nightmare in Elma Street I will be including a review for Transformers rise of the beast Rise of the beast if you want to stick around for that So just to kick it off with scream seven Melissa Barrera talked about Sam's future in a recent interview with digital spy, but I could have sworn She's actually talked about stuff like this in the past, but maybe it's just a little bit of deja vu She stated this with digital spy in regards to Sam's future. She said there are so many places that Sam could go That's one of the reasons that when I read the script for screen five. I was so interested in the character There's so much potential here of where she could go with her mental health. She's just unpredictable I find that darkness in her makes her that much more interesting to play and to watch She's the hero, but she's also kind of the villain It's this contradiction in her that I find fascinating and if we get to do another one I would love to see the writers have done a really good job with her up until this point So I trust them just to know where to take her in a way that will be unexpected and cool for the fans Now I've seen a lot of people say where they should take Sam is into the direction of how will the death of Tara impact her I've seen that tossed around Melissa Barrera has actually gone on record to say she would She wouldn't mind not that she I guess would prefer Sam to be ghost face But if they were to make Sam ghost face, she would love to play ghost face in that role now in terms of How they could explore Sam in the future obviously killing Tara and seeing how that would impact her could be quite compelling But that's only being brought up because of the assumption that there's a chance that Jenner or Tega might not participate But even still if Jenna is or not to participate the death of Tara very much So could lead to Sam having one of the most incredible arcs out of the trilogy if we're in a play up this mental health Issue and this idea that Tara was what kept her grounded. I've talked about this countless times on this channel But jumping into the next topic here Robert England recently let it be known that he's too old and too thick to play Freddy Krueger anymore But Devin Sawa has recently expressed interest in donning the classic fedora Sawa recently is known for his three roles in Chucky which all resulted in his death And then of course we all seem to recognize him if you are someone who had a great childhood with horror We recognize him the most from Final Destination and for being the original stand if you're in the know with your rap culture Sawa shared this sentiment in a tweet Honestly, I'm down for anything that can give us a quality performance with a design similar to England's makeup That's just my own opinion there Dave McCray I seen recently did an iteration of Freddy for Dylan's new nightmare I believe is the title of this fan project And I think it'd be badass if Dave was actually offered a role as Freddy for an official cannon entry into the franchise So I've also seen people talk about Jamie Campbell Bauer Who has been the name that I've seen tossed around my fans who loved his work in Stranger Things as Vecna But do you think that Devin Sawa will be a good choice for Freddy? Why or why not let me know down in the comment section below me personally I don't see it being a good fit That's just me and now that I think about it I am starting to think that I would love again for Dave McCray if at all possible for him to be offered the next Then or for him to be the next iteration of Freddy that we get and again It really all just comes down to the makeup because I think again for Jackie His biggest issue was that makeup because Jackie the more more I think about it and the more I revisit that remake over Years Jackie did a fine job. But again, let me know if you think that Devin style could be a good Freddy wire. Why not now? Last thing here for horror. We're gonna talk about is Josh Stolberg who shared some Q&A style updates about saw X over on Twitter Which by the way saw X viewer non says that they've been told this is the best entry in the series So I'm intrigued but this came from a friend at lion's aid apparently anyway That doesn't mean that of course it doesn't mean it's true But they work for lion's gate, although I guess depending on the department. It won't really matter Maybe they didn't have too much of a direct tie to saw X. But since they work for lion's gate They just were able to maybe see a cut and they're not as Bias towards it because they didn't actually work on it. They just work for lion's gate now Josh said this about saw X He said was it always called saw X No, we first started pursuing the storyline even before spiral at the time This was saw 9 when we first pitched the story in our pitch document. It was simply called John Kramer We've never been able to make a Kramer centric film I mean, we've all been hearing that saw X is going to be an Mid-cool set in between the events of one and two I believe and John is expected to travel and deal with a doctor who is a fraud For working what he calls miracle operations or something that was the alleged plot synopsis Well, actually that also came from viewer 9 now It was leaked that the iconic location from the original film will return Shanice Smith is back according to trusted sources that have reported on this all in all saw X to me It just has no business being worse than spiral Josh also seemed to tease the return of Billy the puppet Which isn't too shocking knowing that this originally this was originally our saw 9 makes me think that a lot of passion must be Going behind this one. I just have a feeling because this was originally going to be the movie We got before Chris Rock saw film spiral Which again, I enjoyed spiral. I do think it's one of the better entries I know it has its naysayers, but I I am on the side of gonna be defending Spiral although as I rewatch spiral it does have some things that I will admit are Highly flawed in terms of filmmaking now last thing here No more horror horror updates This will be a spoiler free review for Transformers Rise of the Beast now Transformers Rise of the Beast It's my favorite since that original Bane movie as I mentioned in my tweet I'm not saying it's better than the Bumblebee project because it isn't but in comparison to base sequels This is the best film since that 2007 Classic I would say from my childhood anyway now this film of course is directed by Steven Capel Jr. It stars Anthony Ramos Peter Cullen Pete Davidson Dominic Fishback and some other Other known names that I'm not gonna really get into as there's too many But the story revolves around Optimus Prime and the Autobots taking on their biggest challenge yet With a new threat capable of destroying the entire planet emerges They must team up with a powerful faction of Transformers known as the Maximals to save Earth now We have great human characters in this one who actually are given a lot to do They aren't off on side adventures with the government entities So the story isn't juggling a lot with its human characters and keeps it pretty simple and not overstuffed Noah who was our main human character is played wonderfully by Anthony Ramos He's given a lot of hurdles to overcome that make him more compelling than someone like a Sam Whitwicky who I still love but Noah's hurdles make the inevitable along make make the inevitable alliance with our Autobots and Maximals that much more rewarding There's even a little rocky start between him and Optimus that blossoms into a mutual understanding over time since Optimus and Nora are trying to overcome similar hurdles Noah struggles to find a job it has a shaky history with the army and is trying to keep his home together But nothing seems to be working which Optimus can relate to when it comes to his home planet of Cybertron and some of his own Struggles, he's dealing with internally about blaming himself for how they got trapped on earth and can't get home, but The script is mostly held back By rough dialogue bits and some exposition dumping that mostly comes from Elena who Dominic fishback plays I believe that's Dominic fishbash. Yeah, sure. Let us know what's happening But show don't tell is always my preference show me don't always tell me like this Elena is also pretty one note as a character to me But that could change on a rewatch Dominic is great in the role which probably ended up saving it the conflict between our Autobots maximals and terracons with unicorn leading them is kept simple and not overly complex The voice cast does a wonderful job, but Pete Davidson as Mirage is easily the standout Like I mentioned some of the dialogue is hit or miss especially with the jokes But Mirage's material works every time there's a moment where Noah says Mirage is just a work friend And he's like work friend, but you were inside me. I just lost it at that at that point It was just delivered so well the joke might not hit for everyone But it's definitely Pete's best role for me The soundtrack is filled with bops and the 90s era is captured quite well Much like my love for the screen movies in a formula that we see over and over again But still praise rise of the beast is not something I haven't seen before in terms of a Transformers movie But it's still executed well enough compared to past franchise fumbles Admittedly some of the story beats weren't able to sell me on the stakes It wanted to because it was like I've seen this before so I know how this will eventually go down And of course it ended up going down how I thought it would and yet the outcome was still heartwarming and fun to watch Due to the execution again being so well done I wasn't the biggest fan of the editing a lot of times cuts every other second is a very big issue for me when it comes to Filmmaking, but the action sequences are thrilling to look at and easy to follow for the most part I wouldn't say I was also too crazy about the CGI either although. That's not to say that it was terrible Movie doesn't overstay its welcome clocking in at about two hours But the pacing for the third act can feel a bit rushed all in all I would have to give rise of the beast a Seven out of ten. Yeah, I'm gonna give it a seven out of ten Let me know just think about all of this down the comment section below if you haven't already of course Make sure you subscribe turn on post notification in this video in the description.
