Movie Review: “Wonder Woman 1984”
Wonder Woman 1984 is a throwback to fun, wholesome, occasionally silly superhero movies. It's far from perfect, but a wonderful movie to end 2020 on.
Movie Review: “Come Play”
"Come Play," tells the story of a misunderstood monster that just wants a friend. Most of us can relate to that, especially these days. What's so scary about that? Plenty! The movie is writer/director Jacob Chase's first feature, and is based on his 2017 short "Larry." In both, a creature that lives in another dimension(?), [...]

Movie Review: “Evil Eye”
"Evil Eye" is one of the more unique Blumhouse offerings on Amazon Prime this month as it combines elements from Eastern superstition, family culture clashes, and a touch of horror. It's also the first film I'm aware of that has been based on an Audible Original audio play. The Audible Original, written by Madhuri Shekar [...]
Movie Review: “Nocturne” (2020)
The most visually pleasing Blumhouse films so far this month is also the least satisfying. "Nocturne" is an exercise in style over substance that doesn't quite live up to its synopsis. The bulk of the story takes place at a Musical Arts School where a pair of twins are competing for recognition and an invitation [...]
Movie Review: “The Lie”
Blumhouse's second of four movies arriving on Amazon Prime this month is "The Lie", a remake of the 2015 German Film "Wir Monster." The screenplay, adapted by director Veena Sud, is a psychological thriller that explores how far people are willing to go to keep their family together. It's a familiar premise but with a [...]
Movie Review: “Black Box”
"Black Box" is the first of four movies that Blumhouse is releasing on Amazon Prime during the month of October. Blumhouse has a reputation for financing and distributing lower budget horror films that often expose fresh new talent to wider audiences. Unfortunately, although interesting, "Black Box" falls a little flat. The premise is familiar yet [...]

Movie Review: “Sputnik” (2020)
The Russian word "Sputnik" is commonly known to mean "satellite" but it also translates as "companion" making it the perfect title for Egor Abramenko's first feature film. "Sputnik" is based on his short film "The Passenger", which was an official selection at 2017's Fantastic Fest, and would have premiered at this year's TIFF, had it [...]
