Grafted is a solid first half of a mean girls horror film until it takes a left turn into territory that, conceptually makes sense, but doesn’t really work in other ways. It’s disappointing since I loved the first half as … Continue reading
Sometimes Steven Soderbergh’s Prescence tested my patience… and then he’d pull off something that was pretty interesting. Even if half the film is made up of weird relationships and the ghost that still lingers here probably needed to be more … Continue reading
Into the Deep is another entry in the direct-to-streaming cheap shark movie club… but a little different and a touch better. It’s about a woman who had a traumatic incident with a shark as a child who is now on … Continue reading
