Haunted Mansion (2023)

A single mother and her son move into a haunted house and gather a team of specialists to help with some exorcisms.

'Haunted Mansion' is a horror comedy based on a Disneyland attraction, the second of its kind. Superficial, with a few nice tear-jerking moments and a few jokes, and some special effects worthy of an amusement park, Haunted Mansion does not manage to be much "for children" (kind of too scary) but certainly not for adults.

Director:  Justin Simien     
With: LaKeith Stanfield, Rosario Dawson, Owen Wilson, Tiffany Haddish, Danny DeVito, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jared Leto

Rating: 5.6/10

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)

Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita and Little Rock continue their post-apocalyptic adventures with a new challenge: evolved zombies.

'Zombieland: Double Tap' is the sequel to a successful horror-comedy, 10 years after the release of the first. The first film is not extraordinary, so it is difficult to understand why the producers wanted another one, especially without having Bill Murray attached. Fans of expensive blockbusters asked for it, they got it and were satisfied with just a mediocre movie. Ehh, at least it has Woody Harrelson, and some almost-cameos worth mentioning: Rosario Dawson and Luke Wilson.

Director:  Ruben Fleischer   
With: Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin, Rosario Dawson, Luke Wilson, Zoey Deutch

Daredevil (2015–2018)

Matt Murdock is Daredevil, a blind lawyer who turns into a vigilante at night.

'Daredevil' is the series based on the Marvel universe that helped give birth to the MCU TV movement, now with its own streaming service. With many action and characters' crossovers with the other series in the same family, 'Daredevil' works well on its own, has interesting intrigues, a worthy villain and very well choreographed fight scenes. The only downsides are the occasional dragged and filler episodes at the beginning of each season, just until the viewers get a full feel of the new plot setup.

Director:  Phil Abraham and others
Production:  Netflix   
Creator:  Drew Goddard   
Duration:  3 seasons of 13 episodes (54 minutes each)   
With: Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Rosario Dawson, Jon Bernthal, Ayelet Zurer, Wilson Bethel, Elodie Yung
