Hell or High Water

Jeff Bridges and Ben Foster shine in this American tragedy masquerading as a crime drama.

I Am Not a Serial Killer

I Am Not a Serial Killer

We all know the "monster-next-door" trope...but how do you handle the situation when you're something of a monster yourself?

Estranged

Posted on 4 Mar 201612 Nov 2017 by Lackey
A scene from ESTRANGED.

Despite its strong visuals and cast, Estranged simply isn't memorable, and its shortcomings stick out more than its strengths.

They Look Like People

Posted on 1 Mar 201612 Nov 2017 by Lackey
They Look Like People

An unconventional and highly unnerving psychological thriller.

The Interior

No matter where you go, the universe is a total jerk.

Contracted: Phase 2

Posted on 18 Feb 201612 Nov 2017 by Lackey

Considering it largely disregards the ideas that made its predecessor so interesting, Contracted: Phase 2 works much better than expected.
