Movie Reviews

Growing up, Rampage was one of my favorite video games to play, whether it be console or arcade. When the feature film was announced, I was cautiously optimistic. After seeing the trailer to the film, which obviously took several liberties with the source material, I thought it looked like a fun …

As an indie movie reviewer, I sometimes get sent films I’ve never heard of. Some projects are so obscure that there’s not any information online so I can see what I’m getting myself into. This can lead to surprising gems or barely watchable flops. So when I was asked to …

We all know the standard tale of vengeance that Meir Zarchi’s 1978 film, I Spit on Your Grave, perfected. The protagonist, typically female, becomes a victim of sexual assault and seeks justice where the legal system falls short. More recently, other gems such as Leah McKendrick’s M.F.A. have used this story …

The horror movie, Pledge, just recently had its premiere at the 2018 Fantasia International Film Festival. Before going into this film, I didn’t know much about it beyond its title.

In regard to all-time great movie titles, The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot doesn’t really pose an argument as much as end the discussion completely. It’s the most beautiful collection of words that have ever been strung together, honestly. The title is badass, straightforward… and still, somehow, totally …

Last night, I was witness to the debut of the long awaited film, Summer of ‘84, to a local Montreal crowd and a sold out theater during the 2018 Fantasia International Film Festival. The atmosphere was electric! When Directors Yoann-Karl Whissell, Anouk Whissell, and Francois Simard hit the stage, you could …

Dustin Wayde Mills is a prolific indie horror director, having an impressive 25 directing credits in just 8 years. That being said, I’m not as familiar with his work as I should be. After seeing The Hornet’s Sting and The Hell It’s Caused, I will definitely be remedying that sooner …
