Seed, The
The Seed is a real mixed bag of a Shudder original. If they cut 30 to 45 minutes out of it and just made it a short film, it’d have helped a great deal. But I can’t help but enjoy … Continue reading

Dog
Dog is a very earnest movie that’s a little let down by too much storytelling, not enough plot. It’s unfortunate since the movie is trying its hardest, doing a lot of heavy lifting, only to be dashed on the rocks … Continue reading

There were moments in watching this film in the theater where my main thought was, “gosh. I wish I was back home playing Horizon: Forbidden West”. But then the movie would pop off with some patently ridiculous action scene and … Continue reading

Spine of Night, The
A decidedly adult Western (non-anime) animated dark fantasy film that shares DNA with older titles like Fire and Ice, Wizards, Heavy Metal, and Ralph Bakshi’s Lord of the Rings. I’m surprised it exists, though I’m a little soft on how … Continue reading

The Door into Summer is a Japanese film that’s available on Netflix. It’s based on a Robert Heinlein novel of the same name, written in 1956 about a scientist in 1970 who gets cryogenically frozen and wakes up in 2000 … Continue reading
