Orphan: First Kill (2022)
Plot Armor
While I seem to be in the minority in liking this prequel, it suffers from what a lot of prequels do. The ones that try to be consistent anyway. While Esther does have some wild adventures in this film, one knows she's never in any danger of dying, as we know she does at the hands of Vera Formiga in the original. There is an interesting twist that kind of makes her the "hero" but, I don't want to be spoilery. I do find it odd it was over ten years before a prequel was made. Also, how many people actually were clamoring for a prequel. Anyway, I was entertained for a while, so I really can't complain.
Futureworld (1976)
Boring cash grab.
Yes, most sequels are obvious cash grabs. Most of them are still entertaining, at least in how bad they are. This one fails on a fundamental level by just being a crashing bore. Oh well. At least Blythe Danner was easy on the eyes. Not worth the time investment.
