★★★★ Hulu has been absolutely slaying the original film game as of late, with Fresh becoming one of my favorite films of the year, along with a handful of excellent rom-coms including Fire Island and Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. Now, in a collaboration with 20th Century Studios, Hulu throws their hat into the … Continue reading Film Review: The Princess
TV Review: Black Bird
To claim the justice system may be flawed is not totally out of the question, and Apple TV+’s new drama, Black Bird, estimates that people slip through the cracks constantly. Back in the 90s, contamination of evidence and false imprisonment ran rampant, even as the FBI and crime-solving was practically in its infancy. How exactly … Continue reading TV Review: Black Bird
TV Review: Flowers in the Attic: The Origin
V.C. Andrews is an absolutely iconic figure in literature whether one loves her or hates her. As such, her body of work pretty much speaks for itself. Ask any given person about their knowledge of Andrews, and I have no doubt in my mind that the majority would name Flowers in the Attic as her … Continue reading TV Review: Flowers in the Attic: The Origin
Tribeca 2022: The Black Phone
★★★★★ One of my most anticipated horror films of the year has dialed up an appearance! Blumhouse’s The Black Phone, which first screened at Fantastic Fest 2021, is easily one of the best films of 2022’s Tribeca. This sadistic treat brings new material to the ‘children in peril’ subgenre, and delivers creepy survival horror that … Continue reading Tribeca 2022: The Black Phone
Film Review: Spiderhead
★★★★ From writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese (Deadpool, Zombieland) and director Joseph Kosinski (TRON: Legacy, Top Gun: Maverick) comes sci-fi thriller Spiderhead. The film is an irresistible treat that plays up its pulpy mystery and psychological thriller elements; by the time Spiderhead starts up the 80s needle drops, I was in love. Miles Teller … Continue reading Film Review: Spiderhead
Film Review: The Good Neighbor
★★ Hit and run plus obsessive new neighbor equals… what exactly? Writer/director Stephan Rick and co-writer Ross Patridge seem to posit the answer with The Good Neighbor, a throwback-style thriller that has trouble keeping up with the best of the genre, or even justifying its existence much whatsoever. A remake of 2011 German thriller Unter … Continue reading Film Review: The Good Neighbor
Tribeca 2022: 88
★★★★ (Written by Allison Brown) 88 might be the most memorable Tribeca selection yet this year. Director Eromose highlights the number 88 in a fictional manner along the lines of the well-known 23 enigma, upon which films were also based like 2007’s The Number 23. 88, however, has a more niche significance, as it only … Continue reading Tribeca 2022: 88
Film Review: Jurassic World: Dominion
★★★★ Jurassic World: Dominion is the series cranked up to full Resident Evil mode—post-apocalypse, dark secret laboratories, mutant monsters, and all. If Dominion lacks the dino-crunching bite and ferocious horror of previous entries, it makes up for it with propulsive action and a tidy bow of closure for our central characters. Ultimately, this is a … Continue reading Film Review: Jurassic World: Dominion

Overlook Film Festival 2022: Swallowed
★★★★ Always on the hunt for more genuinely excellent queer horror, Swallowed entered my crosshairs when I heard the project was directed by Carter Smith; his film The Ruins ranks as a personal favorite. Swallowed carries a unique visual style that also returns in this exciting, intimate yet perverse flick. Unrequited love and the deep … Continue reading Overlook Film Festival 2022: Swallowed
