NIGHT OF THE REAPER MOVIE REVIEW Once upon a time we all had a babysitter and once upon a time within that once upon a time we all watched babysitters get massacred by a maniac around Halloween. From the network that brought you such nostalgia as “Kids on bikes solving mysteries” and “Your ghost isn’t […]
GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE MOVIE REVIEW Despite the ‘official’ premiere of the first Gore Verbinski film in eight years being at Beyond Fest on 9/28, the ACTUAL world premiere was at the final secret screening of Fantastic Fest on 9/25. His new film Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is a dystopian sci-fi […]
BUGONIA MOVIE REVIEW Based on a 2003 South Korean film called Save The Green Planet!, the latest film from Yorgos Lanthimos unsurprisingly stars his new muse Emma Stone but it is her co-star Jesse Plemons who steals the show. Bugonia was a secret screening this year and we were here for it (in both a […]
ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER MOVIE REVIEW At Fantastic Fest every year they have a series of ‘secret screenings’. These can vary from tiny films you’ve never heard of to premieres of giant films. Way back when, the fest got on the map when they did the premiere of There Will Be Blood at a secret […]
WHEN WE WERE LIVE MOVIE REVIEW In his documentary about Public Access Television in Austin, Texas in the 80s and 90s, director John Spottswood Moore had a LOT of material to sift through. Austin’s station was by far one of the most prolific in the country (second only to NYC, I believe). Let me tell […]
SISU: ROAD TO REVENGE MOVIE REVIEW Actor Jorma Tommila returns to his character in Sisu (no, his name is not Sisu) in a bigger, bloodier, more insane affair, as you would expect to a sequel to Sisu. Road to Revenge has him returning to the part of Finland that he used to live with his […]
THE FORBIDDEN CITY MOVIE REVIEW Genre-fusing sometimes is an awkward affair, ending up with a film that doesn’t know what it is. But sometimes it creates something that feels very new. Sometimes it ends up being epic. Fortunately this is the case for The Forbidden City. The story follows Mei, a girl who along with […]
BEAST OF WAR MOVIE REVIEW When a ship of Australian soldiers goes down in the middle of the ocean on their way to fight in WWII, only a handful survive. They find themselves in a calm, windless sea on a makeshift raft. There’s no water, food, several are seriously injured, and there’s one big and […]
IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU MOVIE REVIEW Linda (Rose Byrne) is so very, very tired. She has a young daughter with severe enough of an eating disorder that she needs to be fed by a stomach tube or she will die. Her husband is away for work so she has to do everything […]
OBSESSION MOVIE REVIEW We’ve all been in a position where we cared so very deeply for someone and wished they felt the same for us but felt hopeless to make it happen. Bear (Michael Johnston) probably isn’t hopeless with his feelings for Nikki (Inde Navarrette) being reciprocated but he’ll never know. Because he used a […]
PRIMATE MOVIE REVIEW Lucy is coming home from college to stay with her family in their implausibly awesome home on a cliff in Hawaii. Her two friends Kate and Hannah are coming as well but Hannah is in for a big surprise: there’s another member of the family they didn’t tell her about: a chimpanzee […]
SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT MOVIE REVIEW We could understand if trashy slashers from the 80s (no matter how fun they might be to some of us) were not your thing, that you might avoid a modern remake of one of the most infamous of them, Silent Night, Deadly Night. However, you would be doing yourself […]
THE CURSE MOVIE REVIEW Bringing back a 90’s J-horror vibe, director/writer Kenichi Ugana (Visitors) dives into technology curses with their new film, The Curse. Riko and her roommate have a friend back in Taiwan who has posted an odd and creepy picture on their social media. Even weirder, the text is uncharacteristically dark as are […]
SHELBY OAKS MOVIE REVIEW A popular online video series of paranormal haunt investigators turns into a huge mystery when after going to investigate an abandoned town, Shelby Oaks, all four members of the cast go missing. The case drags on for years and years until only the sister of one of them still is determined […]
IKATAN DARAH MOVIE REVIEW This Indonesian action film from legend Iko Uwais’s new production banner follows Mega, a talented athlete and fighter whose career is sidelined from an injury. Her brother is a serious but unsuccessful gambler and after gambling the deed to their house away, goes to the gangster he owes money to in […]
INFESTATION: FANTASTIC FEST 2025 – COYOTES Justin Long and Kate Bosworth both are a married couple and play one in this horror film set in the Hollywood Hills. When coyotes suddenly start showing up in their neighborhood and attacking/killing the neighbors, the family must band together, with the additional aid of a ‘lady of the […]
DEMON SLAYER INFINITY CASTLE MOVIE REVIEW Over 220 million copies sold world wide across its 23 volumes. Adapted into an anime of 4 seasons and 63 episodes all translated into several languages propelling it into a world wide phenomenon. An empire of merchandising that rivals that of Star wars and The Simpsons. Writer/artist Koyoharu Gotouge’s […]
HIM MOVIE REVIEW First, you need to be clear: despite the deceptive marketing, Him is not directed or written by Jordan Peele. It’s coming out under his production label and that’s it. Second: football is America’s #1 religion. At least, it certainly seems that way. Third: Him wants that to be scary. The story follows […]
A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY MOVIE REVIEW Welcome to yet another review where Chris is absolutely correct in his opinion and Wright is not (editor: I think you got that backwards). A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is a trip into magical realism on a path well, and much better, trod by films such as Eternal […]
WEDNESDAY SEASON 2 REVIEW It’s back! Wednesday! No, I’m not talking about hump day, I’m talking about the eldest daughter of that creepy, kookie, mysteriously ookie, all together spooky Addams Family. Snap Snap. Wednesday, the hero of Nevermore, returns to find her new found popularity a dreadful nuisance. New Principal Dort (Steve Buscemi) is bursting […]
