Film reviews, news, articles, lists, and pictures, all from a freelance writer.
From Second Sight Films, the 2016 film Raw is in receipt of an updated Blu-ray release, and it may be the best one yet. Presented beautifully with a full range of lengthy extras, the updated package is a presentation of unbeatable value in the competitive market of boutique Blu-rays.
From the spectacular mind of Gillian Wallace Horvat, we are presented with an infrequently lavish mockumentary x snuff extravaganza. Who’s to blame? I Blame Society.
In the grittiest of natures, three murders take place...but are made to look like suicides. The deaths: car crash into a tree; bullet to the head; and decapitation via train.

Public displays of affection can often be awkward or annoying. Happily, at first, takes PDAs/PDOAs to another level. According to writer-director BenDavid Grabinski, excessive love and affection will endure consequences. Happily puts love to the test.
One thing that horror films tend to successfully mirror from real life is that one should never return to their hometown to live there. The Ice Cream Truck perfects this. From writer-director Megan Freels Johnston, this is a female-driven horror film which is completely masterful in its trickery of expectation, if not a little risky in its execution.
In horror films when families move into a new house or a new town, they always seem to stumble upon a terror of sorts. The Parish is no different in this regard, however, its execution establishes an air on mystique and uncertainty.
In what could very well be the first remake of a “Die Hard on/in a ___” film, Welcome to Sudden Death, featuring Michael Jai White under the direction of Dallas Jackson, is the almost scene-by-scene remake of 1995’s Van Damme classic, Sudden Death.
