Movie Reviews

Last weekend, the latest theatrical horror release, Ready or Not, opened to excited audiences. The trailer promised laughs, bloodshed, and violence, and that is exactly what it delivered. Full of inventive kills, Ready or Not was highly entertaining. With horror comedies not always hitting the mark, this one found a …

I’ve always found something darkly narcissistic about the culture of self-help, manifesting, and life-coaching. All of this constant exploration of self, self, self has to affect how you see other people, and taking to heart what the universe owes you sounds like a God Complex. It’s these dark instincts that …

It was somewhere between the needlessly long take of a man mourning at his father’s grave and an unrelated phone call ranking the most missed genitals between two-thirds of a three-partner relationship that I knew I was in trouble with Shed. The screener description and the IMDb synopsis are both …

Dale Fabrigar’s film, D-Railed, has a pretty simple but stylized title. It could be a Liam Neeson action flick on a train or a hip, urban crime drama centered around an NYC subway. For me, it was a total blind watch. I’m always a fan of that approach if I …

With the season coming to an end, I had to end it with a good, old fashioned summer movie, and I chose to watch 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, originally titled 48 Meters Down or 47 Meters Down: The Next Chapter. The first film (read our review here) was okay, but …

Seaside is the latest dramatic thriller from Writer/Director Sam Zalutsky (You belong To Me 2007). The film tells the story of a young woman named Daphne (Ariana DeBose: Blue Bloods TV series) who finds her life in a rut, so she looks to starting anew with her boyfriend, Roger (Matt …

In the new documentary, Cold Case Hammarskjöld, Director Mads Brügger (The Ambassador 2011) seeks to explore the truth behind a mysterious, 50 year-old plane crash, along with help from Swedish private investigator Goran Bjorkdahl. Part journalistic mystery, part conspiracy theory, this film invites you to explore the daring possibility that …

Admittedly, I first leaped at the opportunity to review Wade in the Water for an obvious reason: It has my first name in the title! Fortunately, I enjoyed watching it beyond the novelty of that coincidence. In fact, it’s a fairly memorable film, and possibly worth owning. Why? Mark Wilson’s Wade …

All of you classic horror fans are in luck, because in a wildly experimental and damn curious fervor, I watched both the Jacob’s Ladder movies back to back, the 1990 version starring Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption 1994), and the upcoming Jacob’s Ladder reboot starring Michael Ealy (Underworld Awakening 2012), Jesse …

I love creature features. I also love films that take place in the woods. You always know something bad is going to happen when you mix those two. Hoax seemed like the perfect end of summer movie, but did it live up to its hype? Keep reading to find out! …
