On the one hand, Afraid is just another smart home automation AI paranoia film that borrows a little too much from Her and Megan. On the other hand, I kind of liked how it ended even if getting there was … Continue reading
Netflix presents Lee Daniel’s Deliverance… or The Deliverance if you are doing the bare minimum to not remind people of squealing like a pig. I get it, I get it… a lot of people don’t know Deliverance and it’s not … Continue reading
Hell Hole is a movie I wanna like. It’s a low budget creature feature that is clearly trying… but also failing. It has some genuinely fun (and funny) moments but they are constantly backstabbed by too much dialog, too much … Continue reading

This vampire film is almost impossible to classify… is it a romance? a comedy? A Romantic Comedy? A horror movie? Not really any of those… even with all the vampires. It’s also not as quirky as the title suggests… it’s … Continue reading
I kept rooting (pun intended) for this flick to find purchase and really earn its slow burn atmosphere creep factor. And, for awhile, it really does… it was never “fast paced” or “exciting” or particularly “coherent” but what it was … Continue reading
