Movie Reviews

The Shrouds may be one of David Cronenberg’s most personal films to date, but it ultimately falters in its execution, particularly in how it handles the human elements of its story. There’s a sterile, disconnected feel to much of the film, as though Cronenberg had something profound to say but …

Michael Pierro’s Self Driver is a movie I was a bit torn on when I first planned on writing this review. Like a dozen times before, I was left fulfilled and content. I don’t exactly know what I was expecting, I thought maybe some lame movie where someone drives around …

A first date can be one of the scariest things ever, especially when it’s also the potential couples’ first meeting. That’s the premise in Christopher Landon’s newest horror film, Drop. Confined to (mostly) one location, Landon uses an expansive restaurant to weave a tale of revenge and extortion into the …

The story centers around a woman named Emma who comes from a very financially …

The funk music of the post-Civil Rights movement has always held relevance for black culture and still brought about some of the most influential artists of its generation, but that doesn’t mean that the documentary based around the movement will move too many viewers. The documentary revolves around the funkadelic …

I’ve been following the Bandit Motion Pictures crew since they released Harvest Lake. I’ve donated to all their crowdfunding campaigns since. Everytime they announce a new film I get super excited to see what they come up with next. After years of inactivity, the Bandit Motion Pictures crew is back …

I’m a huge fan of body horror and I grew up on Disney’s animated films, so when I heard we were getting a dark body horror take on Cinderella known as The Ugly Stepsister, I was pretty excited. Recently I was given the opportunity to check out The Ugly Stepsister. …
