The first Maleficent film was a huge hit, and with good reason. Featuring good performances from the two leads, an ok script, and pretty good effects, it took something we knew and gave it its own spin.

Adapted for the screen by producer Guillermo del Toro from three volumes of illustrated horror novels for children, the film brings contemporary jump scares and […]
