The Thursday Murder Club (2025)
By William Pattison
For Horror Bob’s Blog
This time I have the pleasure of reviewing a film directed
by the iconic director of Gremlins, Christopher Columbus.
The Thursday Murder Club
tells the story of four irrepressible retirees spend their time solving cold
case murders for fun. But their casual sleuthing takes a thrilling turn when one
of the owners of their retirement community is brutally murdered and they find
themselves with a real whodunit on their hands. Now they must help the police
solve the murder because the future of their retirement home is at stake.
Though this film is a 2025 film, it has a very 80s feel to
it. In fact it reminds me of the classic 80s film where old retired people are
the heroes of the story, Cocoon. The actors in this film are fantastic, but
give me a break, Chris Columbus has Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosden, Ben Kingsley,
Johnathan Pryce, Tom Ellis, and David Tennent in the cast. This film is
wonderfully written and produced and it is a film that is character driven and
firmly holds your interest, unlike a most of modern films. Unfortunately, this
is a Netflix exclusive rather than a theatrical release.
This film is the long awaited Chris Columbus film I’ve been waiting for. I highly recommend it,
it’s awesometacular.
