London Mums Magazine was invited to review the latest supernatural horror film The Conjuring directed by Michael Chaves, to be released on 5th September, 2025.
I’ll admit from the start – I’m not usually a fan of modern horror movies. Too often they rely on gore and shock factor, which isn’t really my cup of tea. That said, I grew up loving classics like Nightmare on Elm Street and Child’s Play (yes, I’m showing my age here!). When I heard this new release had a Child’s Play vibe and was inspired by a true story, my curiosity was definitely piqued.

James Gunn’s Superman kickstarts DC’s cinematic universe with a fresh, emotionally intelligent take on the Man of Steel. Vibrant, textured and at times deeply moving, this is no origin story — we’re plunged straight into a world where Clark Kent (David Corenswet) is already Superman, and the stakes are both global and intensely personal.
From the very first moments, Corenswet’s portrayal evokes unmistakable echoes of the late, great Christopher Reeve. It’s not just in the strong jawline or statuesque frame — it’s in the twinkle of humility, the vulnerability behind the cape, the charm that makes him both divine and deeply human. He’s got charisma and warmth — not just good looks.
