I started watching Aftersun after getting up super early… too early… I wound up dozing off within the first five minutes, waking up with dream memories that I wasn’t sure were part of the movie or not. I restarted the … Continue reading
On the one hand, The Devil Conspiracy is as bad as a January horror release gets. On the other hand, it’s wildly entertaining in its weird combo of self-seriousness and in-on-the-joke-i-ness. It’s a tough one to review… and I’m giving … Continue reading
