The Reel Vision Recommends 'Obsession' on 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray + Digital VOD
After a supernova theatrical run, this indie-horror film on everyone's radar arrives lightning fast to home screens to keep the hype going; being made available digitally but also getting the royal physical disc release treatment with a 4K Ultra HD image and Dolby Atmos surround sound. In this creepfest story about a girl controlled by a magical wish against her will by one of her closest friends, this movie deserves to be experienced in the best way possible that re-creates and lives up to the theatrical one.

REEL IMPRESSIONS - June 2026

Welcome to the next volume of 'Reel Impressions', for those curious what my opinions are on recent movies or television series that I have laid my eyes on and if they are worthy of your time.  This is my top recommendation for the month of June, as this stellar streaming show enters the final stretch of episodes for its inaugural season:

WIDOW'S BAY (Available on AppleTV+) - If you're not currently on the outstanding summer TV ride that is Widow's Bay then you need that AppleTV+ subscription pronto.  Have you ever indulged in a summertime novel read that enraptures you with perfect ingredients of mystery, horror, humour, brilliant characters and an intimate setting in the likes of Stephen King?  Well that kind of book is perfectly told through this incredibly-layered and lore-mesmerizing (similar to the best seasons of American Horror Story) original series tale of a supernaturally cursed island that an unlikely group of residents attempt to break for the future generations of family and tourists.

With a cast led by the excellent Matthew Rhys (The Americans) as the skeptical-but-soon-convinced Mayor of the island, each episode plays like a new chapter of the book and the episode runtimes are far from stretched or unnecessarily drawn-out thanks to the taught writing team of the season spear-headed by writer/creator Kate Dippold (Haunted Mansion).  A particular episode in the middle of the season that flashes back to the island during a previous century also features horror director Ti West (X, Pearl, MaXXXine) behind the camera.  In conclusion Widow's Bay is perfect summer television and is a must-see at this current time, I cannot recommend this one enough.

THE REEL VISION RATING: 📽📽📽📽📽/of 5

DUTTON RANCH (Available on Paramount+) - For those needing the true Yellowstone fix after the end of the flagship show, you will not find it in the watered-down procedural structured spin-off featuring Casey Dutton with Y: Marshals, but rather instead in this very well put-together spin-off focusing instead on the continuing drama with Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Dutton (Cole Hauser) as they embark on a new life in Texas with their ward Carter after tragedy strikes their Montana property.  

Dutton Ranch is the show that truly feels like a new Season 6 of Yellowstone even with the new location and an assortment of new characters (including acting powerhouses Ed Harris and Annette Bening in supporting roles).  Even though Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan is not heavily involved with this iteration, you can visually feel his dramatic and visual fingerprints all over it as the Dutton's contend with new threats from a competing ranch and unexpected roadblocks in launching their business in a cutthroat world.  After a few episodes in, this show is off to a very comfortable and strong start in the Yellowstone universe.

The Reel Vision Recommends 'Scary Movie 6' in Cinemas

The Reel Vision Recommends 'Scary Movie 6' in Cinemas
The Wayans brothers, along with Anna Faris and Regina Hall return to the comedic horror-spoof franchise to bring the unsafe jokes back to the big-screen through countless horror movie parodies through the blueprint of the recent Scream 5 & 6 films (including Terrifier, The Substance, Longlegs and more). This is substantial because we finally have a major comedy movie back at the theaters and it appears the Wayans are re-injecting laughs to break through the current state of society as they should. It may be simple and dumb as the previous movies, but we're going to love every second of it.
