I fully expected to hate this film… because I haven’t liked ANY of the previous Hellboy movies. Yes, even Del Toro’s two and the much maligned 2019 David Harbour one. I thought I’d watch it half-jokingly for Halloween even though … Continue reading
Carved is clearly a short film stretched beyond its limits to reach a full length feature. It’s so full of padding and mediocre family drama that it even calls itself out on it. They just should have made it a … Continue reading
The Demon Disorder is a little mumblypegs nonsense exorcism movie that’s largely just murky and confusing… but at least it does something different. Even if that something largely feels like the demo real for a practical effects guru. It’s about … Continue reading

Amber Alert is a thriller that director Kerry Bellessa kind of made already back in 2012. The earlier Amber Alert, which I haven’t seen, is a low budget found footage pic where this new one clearly had a much higher … Continue reading
