I love it when I assume I know what a film is going to be about and I’m proven completely wrong once I watch it. That’s exactly what happened when I clicked the link for Dan Robinette’s most recent short, Psycho Path. Synopsis: Laurel Rhodes is a backpacking vlogger who specializes …

Last weekend, the latest theatrical horror release, Ready or Not, opened to excited audiences. The trailer promised laughs, bloodshed, and violence, and that is exactly what it delivered.

I’ve always found something darkly narcissistic about the culture of self-help, manifesting, and life-coaching.

Read More »Dale Fabrigar’s ‘D-Railed’ (2018) Movie Review
Dale Fabrigar’s film, D-Railed, has a pretty simple but stylized title. It could be a Liam Neeson action flick on a train or a hip, urban crime drama centered around an NYC subway. For me, it was a total blind watch. I’m always a fan of that approach if I …

With the season coming to an end, I had to end it with a good, old fashioned summer movie, and I chose to watch 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, originally titled 48 Meters Down or 47 Meters Down: The Next Chapter. The first film (read our review here) was okay, but …
