After beginning with an inexact analogy about polar bears, Adalynn introduces us to her new daughter, Elizabeth. Elizabeth is born two weeks early and won’t stop crying. Adalynn sets the alarm to get up every two hours to feed her, and between sleep deprivation […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Harry Jarvis, Loreece Harrison, Daniel Cahill, Erin Austen, Nina Wadia Writer: Marcus Harben Director: Marcus Harben Distributor: Terror Films Release Date: March 24, 2023 Right at the top of FOLLOWERS, we know something has gone horribly wrong. Zauna (Loreece Harrison), who we’ll shortly find out is a student documentarian, tells us we’re watching the story of “the cassette murders.” FOLLOWERS takes place in the present, but yes, that’s an audiocassette. We’ll find out its history in due course. Meanwhile, Zauna says, “This is the truth – share it.” We then get a title: “Day 1 (of […]Read On »

Just figuring out why a serial killer would dress up in that […]Read On »

The group divides up other individual creative positions, with (at least for SOUND OF SILENCE) Antonaci as cinematographer, Mandalà as production designer, and Lascar as stunt coordinator. This suggests a […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Carter O’Donnell, Brady O’Donnell, Mick Thyer, Paul “Doc” Ignatius, Trina Campbell, Nick Psinakis Writers: Nick Psinakis & Kevin Ignatius Directors: Nick Psinakis & Kevin Ignatius Distributor: Cleopatra Entertainment Release Date: February 21, 2023 (digital and home video) THE LONG DARK TRAIL has beautiful cinematography, by Mitchell Kome, of gorgeous woodland splendor. It has a lovely folky score by Kevin Ignatius, who wrote and directed the film with Nick Psinakis. It also has the virtue of brevity, clocking in at an hour and eleven minutes, not counting end credits. What THE LONG DARK TRAIL doesn’t have is […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Natalia Solián, Alfonso Dosal, Mayra Batalla, Mercedes Hernández, Sonia Couoh, Aída López, Anahí Allué, Martha Claudia Moreno, Emilram Cossío Writers: Michelle Garza Cervera & Abia Castillo Director: Michelle Garza Cervera Distributor: XYZ Films Release Date: February 10, 2023 (theatrical); February 16, 2023 (VOD) HUESERA: THE BONE WOMAN is a movie good enough to maintain its ambiguity without either patronizing or frustrating the audience. The Spanish-language, Mexican/Peruvian-made HUESERA begins at the site of an enormous statue of the Virgin Mary, which towers over the nearby trees. This is a (real) shrine where worshippers come, singing the “Hail […]Read On »

ATTACHMENT movie poster | ©2023 Shudder

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Josephine Park, Ellie Kendrick, Sofie Gråbøl, David Dencik Writer: Gabriel Bier Gislason Director: Gabriel Bier Gislason Distributor: Shudder Release Date: February 9, 2023 (Shudder) From movies like THE EXORCIST to THE CONJURING franchise to this week’s release CONSECRATION, Catholicism still gets the lion’s share of horror movie attention. However, with 2012’s THE POSSESSION, 2021’s THE VIGIL, and this year’s THE OFFERING, among others, Jewish lore is getting some screen time, too. ATTACHMENT (NATTEN HAR BJINE), directed and written by Gabriel Bier Gislason, is the newest entry in this horror subgenre. It’s a slow burn, but a […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Angela Basolis, Robbie Banfitch, Scott Schamell, Michelle May, Leslie Ann Banfitch Writer: Robbie Banfitch Director: Robbie Banfitch Distributor: Cinedigm Release Date: February 9, 2023 On the plus side, THE OUTWATERS is a celebration of the natural beauty of California’s deserts and hills. It has good cinematography by director/writer/actor Robbie Banfitch, and a solid folk-rock score. THE OUTWATERS begins with a frantic 911 call that abruptly cuts off. Title cards tell us that Mojave Desert police found camera memory cards on February 22, 2022, of footage evidently recorded in 2017. We then see the footage. Musician Scott […]Read On »
