Sometimes you watch a film and you’re left wondering what the hell just happened. It’s like you were in some type of space-time continuum and everything is a little fuzzy. That’s how I felt after watching the upcoming film, Black Hollow Cage. This mind-bending horror thriller was directed and written by …

Some of my personal favorite post-apocalypse stories encompass desolate landscapes after society has collapsed. Other personal favorite stories involve time travel and horrifying epidemic cases that effect human kind. One new indie film that combines all of this in one thoughtful and thrilling feature is a directorial debut by James …
