Did you know that the first full-length Zombie film was made as early as 1932? It’s true! Madge Bellamy starred in 𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒁𝒐𝒎𝒃𝒊𝒆 as Madeline Short Parker wearing this beautiful gown. But that wasn’t the first time she had worn it! She had actually starred in the title role of the 1922 silent film 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒂 𝑫𝒐𝒐𝒏𝒆, where this costume likely originated!

Edison’s ten-minute Frankenstein (1910) is a fascinating early take — skipping the later “lightning-bolt/electricity” iconography (that wasn’t present in Shelley either, but got cemented by Universal) in favor of something stranger...

A chamber where the creature literally grows from skeleton, to sinew, to skin. It weirdly prefigures — and maybe even inspired — Frank’s resurrection in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser (1987).

The finished monster also bears an uncanny resemblance to the Penguin from Batman Returns, making this short possibly influential on Tim Burton as well, a known fan of early horror. For a century-old reel, it’s surprisingly ahead of its time.

The Parenting (2025) had everything going for it:

Lisa Kudrow. Brian Cox. Edie Falco. Dean Norris. Parker Posey. Plus rising stars Nik Dodani and Brandon Flynn as a sweet, grounded gay couple. A stacked cast that reads like a prestige TV dream team.

And yet… it’s a total misfire.

This horror-comedy—about two sets of parents meeting at a countryside house, only to be terrorized by a 400-year-old entity—feels like a recycled SNL sketch stretched to 90 minutes. The jokes don’t land. The scares don’t scare. The “satire” is toothless, relying on tired tropes and gags we have seen a million times.

It’s not Scary Movie—it’s not even trying to be. It’s safe, studio-approved quirk with all the edge sanded off. And that’s the real tragedy: when you give legends like Cox and Falco nothing to do but deliver sitcom lines, it’s not just boring—it’s insulting.

I went in hoping for a genre-reviving Halloween gem. I left wondering how this script ever got greenlit.

2/5 stars. A wasted ensemble in a film that’s neither funny nor frightening—just forgettable. We should stop letting SNL writers make movies.
