Directed by Jorge Dorado (assistant director on The Devil’s Backbone, Bad Education, Talk To Her and many more outstanding Spanish films) with a screenplay from Guy Holmes and Martha Holmes, Anna brings us into the world of memory detectives; people who have the ability to enter our memories to find more information about past traumatic […]
Director: Luchina Fisher Writers: Tananarive Due and Steven Barnes Before I get started, I’d like to point out that Steven Barnes has writing credits for The Twilight Zone, The Real Ghostbusters, The Outer Limits, Stargate SG-1, Baywatch and Andromeda. That’s a terrific collection of shows. Danger Word is based on “Devil’s Wake”, a YA novel […]
Monster movies are tricky in that the titular star is often a minor character, behind those that it affects. He is a plot point. A puzzle to be solved. A villain to be conquered. They are often the center of the film, but they are unable to carry it. That duty in Godzilla falls on […]
This episode was infinitely more enjoyable than the first one. With the exception of perhaps the ending, I found the pilot episode to be incredibly slow. Beautiful, but slow. This episode ups the intensity and does a much better job of making me care about what happens to these characters. A huge stand out to […]
“Pay attention to me!” Like the first episode, this one moved along pretty slowly, revealing just enough to keep interest up. A slow start does not mean a disappointing start.

Before I get started, I think it’s important to get a couple things out of the way. I don’t really care for Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby. I can appreciate it for what it did for the genre, but I never found it particularly scary or interesting. I love the atmosphere, but, in the end, it […]
Written and directed by Jeremy Sauliner, Blue Ruin is a powerful return to form for the revenge movie. Macon Blair (Murder Party) plays Dwight, a man, who at first, looks to be homeless, but we learn that Dwight has chosen to live in a car. This is a man who has been beaten down by […]
Read Lisa’s review here. It’s terrific. Description from Netflix: Using “found footage”, this unnverving thriller recounts the tragic story of an exiled Christian cult and the grisly events that transpire after three journalists – one looking for his missing sister – arrive at the commune. My thoughts: Lisa and I had a rousing debate over […]
