Movie Reviews

The Limbo Cafe is written, directed and produced by Jason Burke (Mind Bender, author of Field of Madness). It’s a horror short that was a labor of love. That much is obvious. The Limbo Cafe centers around protagonist Atria Romero. She enters The Limbo Cafe looking haggard, tired and in …

One Cut Of The Dead is one hell of a meta horror-comedy. It often shines, but the pacing ultimately brings it down a notch, in my opinion. There was so much hype surrounding this film from festival reviews, starting years ago now it seems. After reading them, I was pretty …

Between the Darkness or Come, Said the Night, depending on how you research it, is one of those movies that looks great on paper but only sometimes on film. This confusion permeates throughout my opinion, which seemed to waver as the film progressed. I found myself smiling at the great …

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed Andy Muschietti’s 2017 film, IT: Chapter One (read my review here). I had always loved the 1990 miniseries, despite its differences from Stephen King’s book. When going into a remake of one of my favorite stories, I always assume that I’m …

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of watching a screening of Cold Wind Blowing during the Genreblast Film Festival 2019. I honestly had not heard anything about it, but once I watched the trailer, I knew I had to check it out! I am a huge fan of isolated/contained …

Some things cling to you long after they should like the sweat of a hot day. You worry, even after a shower and enough time out of the sun, that it’ll never come off. Certain kinds of horror movies like Gerald Kargl’s Angst or JT Petty’s S&Man can stay with …

While it doesn’t go full-on meta, it does capture that “movie inside a movie” aspect that a lot of films aim for these days. It contains characters that are disenchanted with their personal lives and delves into some of …
