The Black Phone snuck up on me and I managed to watch it without any background (other than Ethan Hawk being in it and a creepy cover). For instance, I wasn’t aware that this is from the director of Sinister … Continue reading
If there’s a strictly coherent plot to Mad God, it’s not interesting in explaining it. Which is fair enough – the movie wants more to be a blistering explosion of stop-motion imagery designed to make your skin crawl. Whether that’s … Continue reading
