Brave Citizen manages to balance some comedic moments with the heavy subject matter...
FANTASIA 24 REVIEW: BRAVE CITIZEN
REVIEW: LONGLEGS
Longlegs is more like a cozy blanket that true crime fans can wrap themselves up in when they want to be cloaked in a gloomy, self serious atmosphere.
REVIEW: THE INHERITANCE
The Inheritance is a decent way to spend ninety minutes but if you've seen similar films to this, you'll know what is coming...
REVIEW: THE VOURDALAK
... The horror in the story is evident without having to go to extremes to push that point home...
REVIEW: TRIM SEASON
Trim Season eschews the typical stoner horror film for something that is gritty and more grounded (for the most part).
REVIEW: UNDER PARIS
...probably the best popcorn film of the year so far...
REVIEW – THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 1
In the never-ending list of remakes, reboots and requels that no one asked for, this is a lukewarm start at best, but I’m going to put my faith in the writers that they are building a more complex narrative and universe than is presented with this entry...
REVIEW: THE COFFEE TABLE (LA MESITA DEL COMEDOR)
It's brutal, cruel film making. It's also a well-made and well-acted film, so if you've got the emotional fortitude, The Coffee Table is waiting for you.
THE OVERLOOK FILM FESTIVAL REVIEW: DEAD MAIL
Dead Mail succeeds on all fronts. An unpredictable low-fi thriller, a rumination on what being lonely and isolated means to different people, whilst still manging to slowly and methodically crank up the tension and dread to deliver a fantastic noir-horror film...
REVIEW: BAGHEAD
Overall, Baghead is a truly serviceable horror film that fills all of the requirements...
REVIEW: RIDE BABY RIDE (SHORT FILM)
Horror, as it always has been, is a conduit to call out the things that are wrong with society, and Ride Baby Ride continues that tradition...
REVIEW: NIGHT SHIFT
The writers and directors, The China Brothers (Paul and Ben), know their stuff and have put together a very entertaining 80-minute thriller.
BROOKLYN HORROR FILM FESTIVAL REVIEW: MEGALOMANIAC
Megalomaniac is as visually stunning as it is depressing and brutal...
REVIEW: CAMP PLEASANT LAKE
With a title like Camp Pleasant Lake, you know what you're getting in terms of a horror film. A film that puts you squarely in the territory of Friday the 13th, Sleepaway Camp, The Burning et al albeit with a twist...
REVIEW: STOPMOTION
This easily could have been a paint by numbers 'creative person goes insane' film by it is lifted by Morgan's direction and by Franciosi's powerful performance.
REVIEW: LISA FRANKENSTEIN
Williams does a solid job of keeping this generic teen romcom on track and the cast seems to be having a blast reliving the 80’s in all of its pastel glory...
REVIEW: THE SEEDING
The Seeding deals more with the psychological horror than just a straight-lined plot.
REVIEW: BODY COUNT
Anthology horror Body Count is an unashamedly low budget, independent with everyone involved committing 100% to the film from start to finish...
REVIEW: THE HUMAN TRAP
The tread on the tyres of camping-based slasher films have definitely disappeared and at this stage, we're riding almost on the rims. Korean shocker The Human Trap (The Trap) does try some new tricks, but does it overcome the trope?
REVIEW: EVERYONE WILL BURN
Everyone Will Burn is a fun and enjoyable thriller that plays with the tropes and keeps being creative...
