MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Time for V-Horror?
At least these SEA horrors are being defined by SEA filmmkers, like Phi Phong: The Blood Demon.
Soul Crushing
You can tell summer is over when the animated offerings turn dead serious and aim at the olds, like Decorado.
Kids These Days
It’s a slasher, it’s a zombie movie, it’s a gorefest, and yes Ice Cream Man may put you off gelato for a bit.
Terrifying
If you’re keen to see Scary Movie (#6) nothing about how crass and dumb it is will deter you from that mission. Godspeed.
Room to Grow
Newcomer Kane Parsons is the latest filmmaker to make the leap from YouTube to the big stage with Backrooms.
Almost Re-animated
Lee Cronin’s The Mummy ain’t your daddy’s mummy movie. It’s more your brother’s Sam Raimi.
Riding the Wave
Indonesian filmmaker Edwin strikes another genre off his list with a gorgeous gluey modern folk chiller.
Going in Circles
Zazie Beetz is a great action star that deserves a better vehicle than the exhausting They Will Kill You.
Time for Bed
We’re diving headlong into fandom territory here. No one else is going to give a shit about Scream 7 as it stands.
Almost Paradise
Is Send Help a survival thriller or work place wish fulfilment fantasy? Discuss.
Fairy Tale Noir
It’s tempting to call Dust Bunny delightful, no matter how irksome the word, but it really is.
Golden ‘Years’
Oh hell, yes. Nia DaCosta just guaranteed that third rage virus horror flick with 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.
All Squawk
Benedict Cumberbatch stands out with normal skin in so-so semi-horror novel adaptation, The Thing with Feathers.
