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
The Devil’s Bath is a long way around to tell an interesting bit of historical trivia. Could have gotten there quicker with a glance at a Wikipedia article… or thirty minute documentary. Or forty minutes less mopey wandering around in … Continue reading
It’s hardly fair to put Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield on screen together and expect the audience to not feel cross at the genetic misfortune that is the rest of us. Add in the fact they both get to use … Continue reading

The Forge is a faith-based film that has stuck around for a long time in theaters… and it came out on paid streaming recently. I figured I’d catch up to it at home (when it hits a reasonable price)… but … Continue reading
