★★★★ Found footage horror is one fickle beast, mainly because there is an extremely fine line between masterpiece and straight garbage. Audiences can quickly turn on a film they do not understand with little care for the craft that went behind it. No one is more aware of this obvious divide than writer/director/star of The … Continue reading Film Review: The Outwaters
Film Review: In From the Side
★★★★ Queer romance-dramas are always welcomed with open arms in my household, so the second In From the Side shot onto my radar, I was anxious to see how it would play out. A concept involving forbidden romance between rugby players could have been trite and predictable in lesser hands. One instantly imagines a heterosexual … Continue reading Film Review: In From the Side

Film Review: Spoiler Alert
★★★★★ Who doesn’t love a good tearjerker? Thankfully, there is so much more to queer romance Spoiler Alert than simply leaving the viewer in a huge puddle of tears, though it certainly does accomplish this feat.

NewFest 2022: Please Baby Please
★★★ I cannot stress enough how much I was really not a fan of director Amanda Kramer’s last film, Give Me Pity!, and its oddball mock-style television format. Color me surprised then that Kramer’s second movie, the fantastically bizarre Please Baby Please, is such an intriguing treat. With lead performances from Andrea Riseborough (2020’s The … Continue reading NewFest 2022: Please Baby Please
NewFest 2022: Lonesome
★★★★ Gorgeously photographed and rippling with emotionality, Lonesome is a tragic, poignant portrayal of the queer male experience. Many movies of this ilk seem to wallow in the sorrow and sadness that comes with being an outsider. Lonesome, however, takes a different approach. The sorrow and sadness still exist certainly, but the pain must commingle … Continue reading NewFest 2022: Lonesome
TV Review: Queer For Fear: The History of Queer Horror
Having seen only the first two episodes of Shudder’s excellent queer horror doc, aptly titled Queer for Fear: The History of Queer Horror, I can safely say that I am obsessed with the direction and interviews from gay creative (and absolute legend) Bryan Fuller. We dive all the way back to the literary origins, laser-focused … Continue reading TV Review: Queer For Fear: The History of Queer Horror
TV Review: Interview with the Vampire
For as long as I can remember, Anne Rice’s iconic gothic book series The Vampire Chronicles has always epitomized everything I loved about vampire mythology. Perhaps even moreso than Dracula, anytime I see something vampire-related, I automatically compare it back to Rice’s golden standard. The last time her most famous creation, the vampire Lestat, was … Continue reading TV Review: Interview with the Vampire
