When I saw this movie pop up as a new release, I figured it was a sequel to something I’d never seen. But a Google search later told me it’s actually based on a Thai survival horror video game I’d … Continue reading
Carjackers is a Prime Video film that certainly exists but let this review be my only record of having seen it since I’ll have forgotten it in a couple weeks. It has a good premise… the average workers at a … Continue reading
