Film Review: ‘Strange Darling’ is An Enthralling Cat-and-Mouse Thriller That Keeps You Guessing
While it’s true that the vast majority of films play best when you don’t already know what’s going to happen, very few in recent memory fully embody that philosophy the way Strange Darling does. The second feature from writer/director JT Mollner (Outlaws and Angels) is a nesting doll of twists and turns, all of which […] More

Film Review: ‘Trap’ Sees M. Night Shyamalan and Josh Hartnett Making B-Movie Magic Together
The rise and fall and rise again of writer/director M. Night Shyamalan is the kind of circular success story that could only come out of Hollywood.

Interview: ‘Hundreds of Beavers’ Producer Kurt Ravenwood and DP Quinn Hester Talk About the Creation of a Slapstick Sensation
It’s not often that you see a film that immediately feels destined to become a cult classic. But that’s the unavoidable sensation one gets when watching Hundreds of Beavers, an independent pseudo-silent action-comedy overflowing with inventive gags and referencing everything from Buster Keaton to Chuck Jones to The Legend of Zelda. As I said in my glowing review of the film:“In […] More

Film Review: ‘Infested’ is Determined to Get Under Your Skin
It’s a well-documented phenomenon that every couple of years, the cosmic forces of parallel thought (or greedy one-upsmanship) compel the universe into producing two films of a shockingly similar conceit. Both of Armageddon and Deep Impact took varyingly hysterical looks at the appropriate response to large hunks of rock coming to destroy the Earth. Dante’s Peak and Volcano did much the same for […] More

Film Review (Sunday Scaries Edition): ‘Abigail’ is a Blood-Soaked Piece of Popcorn Horror
In the dead of night, when most good creatures would be asleep, a little girl practices her ballet routine in an empty theater. She doesn’t look older than 12, yet her movements suggest the skill and dedication of one beyond her years. As it turns out, she’s a lot older than she looks. And though […] More

Film Review: ‘Hundreds of Beavers’ is a Wildly Entertaining Slapstick Sensation
They say that humor is subjective, and that’s certainly true to an extent. Some like their jokes broad and juvenile, others prefer a more refined and witty approach, and there are infinite shades of gray in between. So keep this in mind when I say that regardless of your personal taste, there is nobody that […] More

Film Review: ‘Sting’ Will Creep and Crawl Its Way into Your Heart
There are two kinds of people in this world. There are those that will hear the premise of writer/director Kiah Roache-Turner’s Sting, which concerns an alien spider rapidly increasing in size and terrorizing a New York apartment complex, and think that sounds like a good bit of fun. And there are others who will either […] More

Film Review: ‘Dario Argento Panico’ is a Reverent Snapshot of the Giallo Maestro’s Life and Career
The setup for this documentary about Italian director Dario Argento, one of the most legendary filmmakers to ever work in the horror genre, is undeniably compelling. The structure introduced by Simone Scafidi (who previously helmed a similar biography on director Lucio Fulci in the form of Fulci for fake) is that Argento has been set […] More

Film Review: ‘Godzilla Minus One’ Sets a New Gold Standard for Giant Monster Mayhem
Ever since making his debut in 1954 (8 years before James Bond, one of the few long-running film franchises with a comparable cultural impact), Godzilla has been THE name in giant monster cinema against which all others are compared. From his fellow stalwarts in Japanese kaiju classics like Gamera, to his closest American competition in […] More
