Movie Reviews

I’ve been excited to check out Julius Avery’s Overlord for awhile after hearing a lot of great things about it. I have a penchant for war movies and horror, so melding both of these genres seems like a smart thing to do. I’ve heard people comparing it to video games …

There’s simply no denying that Gaspar Noé is one of modern cinema’s most revered filmmakers… or perhaps, most reviled, depending on your opinion. Alongside peers like Lars Von Trier and Darren Aronofsky, Noé has set the bar for breathtaking artistry and a confrontational film style that completely spits in the …

In this second look at the paranormal documentary, Demon House (you can read the first review here), we follow Zak Bagans, the infamous and charming lead investigator of the TV show, Ghost Adventures. Curious after hearing of a case of possession in a small Indiana home, Zak leads his fellow …
