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 …

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 …
