Marko Zaror plays a punishing religious enforcer, but an undercooked plot is missing that unique spark Ernesto Díaz Espinoza typically finds in his action films.

Asmodexia Review

Asmodexia isn't exactly a biblical epic, but a rejuvenating finish brings meaning to a movie that otherwise would seem minimalistic and generic - finding a savior in the nick of time.

Norway is both the vampire movie you never asked for, and the vampire movie you'll kick yourself for ignoring.

Horns Review [Fantastic Fest 2014]

Horns sometimes feels like a uncomfortable departure for Alexandre Aja, but Radcliffe's demonic performance strikes a devilishly indulgent balance between dark comedy and romantic tragedy that saves the day.

The Editor Review [Fantastic Fest 2014]

The Editor starts off as a pitch-perfect Giallo spoof, but struggles to consistently maintain the same perverse entertainment factor until the film's bloody finale.
