Fear Clinic is an ambitious project stitched together by unsteady hands, as the threads holding everything together threaten to unravel come the film's end.

Gingerclown Review

Gingerclown is an 80s homage gone HORRIBLY awry, veering off somewhere around the cursing teapot or oddly-accented Californians.

Tammy Blu-Ray Review

Tammy is an uninspired road-trip comedy that wastes Melissa McCarthy's potential on overbearing goofiness and never elevates itself above a regrettably juvenile level.

Bad Turn Worse Review

Bad Turn Worse is an oddly blended heist-rom-dram, but a few memorable scenes will undoubtedly lead to some huge opportunities for those Hawkins boys.

The Homesman Review

The Homesman is a bleak, thoughtful glimpse into Western life that, thanks to Tommy Lee Jones' direction, finds ample intrigue without needing shoot-outs, dynamite, or any massive action pieces.

Shrew’s Nest Review [Fantastic Fest 2014]

Shrew's Nest is a slow, slow burn, but once the fireworks ignite, they explode in a spectacularly bloody spectacle that showcases Macarena Gómez's dementedly enjoyable performance.

LFO Review

LFO is ambitious and bizarre enough to work on levels that some might not hear ringing clearly, yet its presence cannot be ignored.

Backcountry Review [Scary Movies 8]

Backcountry is a blood-soaked campfire treat that confidently hits on nature's unpredictable fury, featuring a brilliant turn by Missy Peregrym as a bruised, battered and beaten survivalist.
