“Small World” explains the use for the newest key and the miniature dollhouse of Key House, although not where Josh Bennett (Brendan Hines) found it or what he’s after. A perfect copy of the house down to the people moving inside when the doll house is unlocked, gets dangerous for the Locke family when a spider crawls in becoming giant-sized and wreaking havoc. Thanks to Jamie (Liyou Abere) the Locke’s aren’t murdered by the giant arachnid in their kitchen.

Day Shift

With so many vampire movies made over the years, filmmakers have looked to put their own spin on the concept by offering something new. Sometimes that gives us Buffy the Vampire Slayer introducing the idea of a young woman destined to stand and fight against the vampires which would eventually spawn a for more interesting television franchise that drove female-led stories being developed across the medium. Sometimes that gives us goofy comedies such as Once Bitten playing on the gender-swapped sexuality of a cougar vampire and a virgin. And sometimes it gives us Day Shift.

“The Head and the Heart” introduces new characters in Josh Bennett (Brendan Hines) and his daughter Jamie (Liyou Abere) as potential new friends for Nina (Darby Stanchfield) and Bode (Jackson Robert Scott), although the elder Bennett may have more nefarious motivations in striking up a friendship with Nina. The episode also sees the return of a fully conscious Erin Voss (Joy Tanner and Nicole James) who Kinsey (Emilia Jones) and Tyler (Connor Jessup) are able to save from her own mind using the Head Key while searching for answers about how to keep remembering the magic of the keys after they become adults.

The Second Season of Locke & Key offers the premiere of The Splattering at the local theater as the Locke children continue to use the various keys they’ve found, their mother (Darby Stanchfield) continues to be oblivious to the magic of the house, the police continue to search for the missing Ellie, and Dodge (Griffin Gluck/Laysla De Oliveira) and an out-of-control Eden (Hallea Jones) turn one of the unused bullets from the Black Door into the Demon Key. The movie is a hit with the locals, and also for Scot (Petrice Jones) who returns with news about an overseas school offering him a spot leading to mixed feeling for Kinsey (Emilia Jones), even without knowing her current boyfriend is a deranged killer.

Predator

  • Title: Predator

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the summer of 1987 and the team-up between director John McTiernan and and action star Arnold Schwarzenegger which gave us Predator. While I wouldn’t rank Predator as his best film, it’s certainly worthy to be in the discussion coming during the greatest stretch of his career between 1984 and 1991 when he starred in The Terminator, Commando, Predator, The Running Man, Twins, Total Recall, Kindergarten Cop, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day
