The film-within-a-film aesthetic of The Worst Ones could fall on either side with its compelling inside look at the troubled process of filmmaking. Chronicling the production of an “art” film about life in the Picasso slums of Boulogne-Sur-Mer in Northern France, …

Dark Entities, the debut feature film from writer/director Brandon McLemore (who also plays the male lead, Wes), is a film that wears its influences on its sleeve.   Synopsis: Following a tragic accident in 1977, the three Winters siblings move into the mysterious home they inherited.
