The Beast Of XMoor – Review
Luke Hyams’ (no relation to Peter Hyams) The Beast of Xmoor (X Moor) at first glance reminded me of Daniel Nettheim’s far superior The Hunter

Why Superhero Fatigue Is Nonsense (With Zombies!)
“Superhero fatigue” seems all the rage among some, but it’s a dubious concept at best, and easily disproven. Reason being, if superhero fatigue were a thing, it would have been proceeded by ‘zombie fatigue.’ Look at the 2013’s World War Z, the Brad Pitt-starrer that was for awhile looking like the Fantastic Four of its time.

Marvel’s Jessica Jones – Teaser Trailer
The latest teaser trailer for Marvel’s Jessica Jones is perhaps one of the best trailers I have seen–for anything–in a long while.
Jessica Jones – Trailer
The trailer for Netflix’s Marvel’s Jessica Jones has just dropped, and it’s very psychedelic and…purple. I assume that that has a lot to do with the influence of the Purple Man (David Tennant) on Jessica Jones.

The Visual Effects of Marvel’s Daredevil

For awhile France was the place to go for innovative horror (and where directors like Alexandre Aja and Xavier Gens hail), now it seems that there’s been a shift to Australia. Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead is currently on Netflix, and it’s pretty clever–in terms of where it takes zombie horror, not so much in terms of visuals. And […]
The Living – Review
“The Ties The Bind Are Nurtured By Blood” Jack Bryan‘s The Living is a pretty impressive thriller that revolves around a man, Teddy (a virtually unrecognizable Fran Kranz, Cabin in The Woods) who after a night of drinking beats his wife, Molly (Jocelin Donahue). He had no memory of it happening, but Molly’s bruised and bloody […]
Sorority Row – Review
“There are worse ways to spend an hour and forty minutes. Unfortunately for Sorority Row, there are also better ones.”
A Single Man – Review
“Shiny, happy plastic people in tragic circumstances.” Tom Ford’s A Single Man isn’t a horror or fantasy film, but it might as well be, as far as depicting relationships between humans goes. George (Peter Firth) is a British expatriate, teaching at a college in California. His world is seemingly perfect till the death of his […]
