Maggie Q – Kings movie reviews

‘Death of Me’ is a 2020 horror movie currently streaming on Netflix, starring Maggie Q (Fantasy Island), Luke Hemsworth (Hickok), Alex Essoe (Doctor Sleep), and Kat Ingkarat (Locked Up). Two Tourists (Q, and Hemsworth) vacation at an island paradise. They stop at a local bar and have a local drink only to blackout and not remember the night, they ended up videotapping the night and find out one of them killed the other when they go back and look at the footage.

I read an article on Creepy Catalog saying this is the best current horror film to stream on Netflix, so I had to check it out. I didn’t even know there was a third Hemsworth brother until this film, he’s like the Wish version of Chris Hemsworth, sorry Luke but it’s true. Whoever on Creepy Catalog considers this the best Netflix has to stream either didn’t watch it or they don’t know good horror. It has an interesting concept, but that’s about it. It fills the rest with blood and gore, and random flashes of what they consider scary images. Random blood and gore, doesn’t make a good horror movie, it needs to have a good story and this is where this one falls flat. I would skip this one all together, I give it a 4.5/10.

‘Fantasy Island’ is a 2020 horror/mystery movie based off of the 70’s show with the same name. Guests come to an island where their biggest fantasy comes true, no matter how impossible it may be. Once the fantasy starts it must play out till the end, no matter how deadly it may be. ‘Fantasy Island’ stars Michael Pena (Jexi, Ant-Man), Maggie Q (Designated Survivor), Lucy Hale (Truth or Dare), Austin Stowell (Catch-22), Portia Doubleday (Carrie), Jimmy Ouyang (Crazy Rich Asians), Ryan Hansen (Veronica Mars), Michael Rooker (Guardians of the Galaxy), and Charlotte McKinney (Baywatch).

‘Fantasy Island’ is produced by Blumhouse, which they’ve put out some pretty good movies in the past such as ‘Get Out’, ‘Glass’, ‘Happy Death Day’, and many others, so I was pretty excited about this one. The reviews on IMDb, and Rotten Tomatoes are pretty low though, so I wasn’t too sure what to expect. ‘Fantasy Island’ surpassed my expectations. I’ve said in other reviews I don’t like to give spoilers, I hate when it happens to me, so I don’t do it. With that said, all I can say it is full of twists. Just when you think you have it figured out, it hits you with another one. It has the same feel as the movie ‘Escape Room’. It even teases at the end that there may be a second one. Honestly it’s a great movie. I give it a 8/10.
