Movie Reviews

How many times can one movie break your heart? When I started watching the newly released film, Silencio, I didn’t ask myself that, but perhaps I should have. I sat down to watch this movie thinking it would have some cool, sci-fi-esque story, and ended up getting all caught up …

As someone who was bullied throughout junior and high school, as well as backhanded compliments from family members, I’ve always wondered what it would be like to say or even do exactly what I was thinking. In my mind, it never ends well, so I mostly just kept it all …

I absolutely love horror shorts. They’re like bite-sized chunks of terror that deliver a pitiless punch in just a fraction of the time a full length genre film. But, because of their short time frame, the filmmaker is usually limited as to what they can actually touch upon. However, in …

Mail Order Monster is about a little girl named Sam Pepper (Madison Horcher: Adventures in Babysitting 2016) who is trying to deal with the loss of her mother after a tragic car accident. The bulk of the movie is centered around Sam 3 years after her mom has died. The …
