I was rather surprised and pleased by this horror/suspense film. I didn’t expect much going in, that’s for sure. It’s a film in the “city folk go out into the country and run afoul of the rubes” movie mixed a … Continue reading
I heard this movie was kind of inspired by the modern wave of horror films like The Witch, Midsommar, and Hereditary. A series of films that have their ups and downs in my book but I respect their attempts at … Continue reading
Archenemy is about a homeless guy who claims to be a Superman-level superhero from an alternate dimension. A teenager decides to learn more about him for a reporter gig he’s trying to get while his lsister does her thing in … Continue reading

I laughed fairly often at this scathing, brutal faux-documentary about the 2020 that we all know and hate. Hosted by an impressive list of actors playing fake talking heads, it takes a brutal, direct, and perhaps one-sided assault on the … Continue reading
