Satanic Hispanics is an anthology horror film that’s a little uneven and yet ends so spectacularly, it’s worth watching just to get to its final ten minutes. Like many anthologies, it has a wrap-around/frame story and then its selection of … Continue reading
If You Were the Last is a sci-fi rom-com that people seem to like… as someone who doesn’t understand hu-mans, I’m at a bit of a loss. I didn’t think much of this film or its two leads… I didn’t … Continue reading
