Apparently there was a miscommunication and the full review embargo ended after the debut today. So my full review is now live on the website!

Josh Raynor (Merc With A Movie Blog) 🏳️‍🌈 @movieblogmerc.bsky.social · Sep 19

Been a while since I’ve written a full review of a movie but I just finished writing one for the new #horror movie #Coyotes & it feels good to be back to writing. I’ll share my quick thoughts on Letterboxd & here tomorrow & will post my full review on the 29th once embargo lifts.

Tonight’s movie:

THE NUN 2

I actually haven’t seen this one yet, so I’m intrigued to see how they pull off the story after the first one.

So I just finished watching WEAPONS and holy shit… 😳 that was so wild. Definitely not anywhere near what I was expecting. And that final 10 minutes was ridiculous and off the rails in such a good way. Fantastic! #Weapons #WeaponsMovie #horror

Next up:

THE CONJURING: THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT

I know people were torn on this one, but I enjoyed it. Not as much as the first two, but still a solid watch for me.
