What’s this?! An American film in my Fantasia Int’l Film Festival 2018 reviews suite?! Well, I can hardly believe it myself. But it’s true. Cam is an American film and I’m about to review it riiiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhtttt-NOW! Alice is a “cam girl”. She performs under the name Lola and one of her greatest desires is … More Cam (2018) – REVIEW – Fantasia 2018
Next up in my (unintentional) review series of French films showing at Fantasia Int’l Film Festival 2018 is “Crisis Jung”. Why is it in quotation marks instead of italics, you ask? Because it’s episodic. Perhaps it’s a show, though I have no idea what kind of programming block it would fit into. I guess I’d … More Crisis Jung (2018) – REVIEW – Fantasia 2018
If you’re like me, you’ve probably heard some good things about Joe Lynch’s latest feature, Mayhem. If you’re not like me and don’t feel the constant drive to find and watch new horror, spending hours reading about upcoming genre films, and stalking horror writers and creators on Twitter, then good for you. Your hobby-life balance … More Mayhem (2017) – REVIEW
Mexico Barbaro II (barbarous Mexico 2) is a horror anthology successor to Mexico Barbaro (also a horror anthology , but that’s probably obvious) And it played the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival. Which, I am covering remotely (because i am a shut in). As with the last MB, I will review each segment individually. Let’s get … More Mexico Barbaro II (2017) – REVIEW
Once again, I am covering the Fantasia International Film Festival from the lovely comfort and confines of my own home. I honestly love that Fantasia allows remote coverage. It’s great for people like me. People who are not allowed in Canada. For my first review, I’m going with directors, Sebastien Landry and Laurence Morais-Legace’s Game … More Game of Death (2017) – REVIEW
When Jordan Peele of “Key and Peele” fame announced he was taking on a directing project and that project was the horror feature, Get Out, my interest was piqued. The guy is funny and seems like a more than capable creative type. And by his account, he’s a horror fan. Besides, he has access to funding and … More Get Out (2017) – REVIEW
I know I’ve said this before, but Netflix just cannot figure me out. I’ve been using the service for over a decade and it still consistently estimates my appreciation of films with a huge margin of error. The algorithm thought I’d like Dredd less than 3 stars for fuck’s sake! And for the first few … More He Never Died (2015) – REVIEW
Every October, I try to watch at least 31 horror films (as we all should). This is not a tradition that I made up. (just in case you thought i was claiming so) Some people challenge themselves to watch a film a day. I just try to average one a day. Some people challenge themselves … More Possession (1981) – REVIEW
Nicolas Winding Refn (NWR, as per his brand) is a bit of an enigma when it comes to creative output. His first feature, Pusher, is a fairly straight-forward – albeit very well made – crime drama. It was a commercial success in Denmark and spawned two sequels (the second of which stars Mads Mikkelsen). His … More REVIEW – The Neon Demon (2016)
Ben Wheatley has directed some solid films – Kill List, Sightseers, and the very weird A Field in England. (those are the ones i’ve seen in raddest to decentest order) So, when I heard that he had a new film called High-Rise coming out, I was excited to check it out. When the trailer came out, … More High-Rise (2016) – REVIEW
