'Nope' review - Why we can't look away

unreelph.com — This post originally appeared in my horror newsletter, . It's always been part of human nature to be bound to the untypical. We're beholden to things even just a little out of place. And endlessly subjected to life's repeating patterns, we often seek the anomalies.

'The Nowhere Inn' review - Unwritten memoirs

Unreel — At a turning point in The Nowhere Inn, a woman, clad in bright-colored latex, quips to the camera. "This is how rockstars act in movies," she says, cigarette in hand. Scratch that, she tells the film crew. She can do better. So she does, this time with intensity welling out of her razor-sharp leer and well-toned visage.

For Celeste Lapida and Kaj Palanca, the future is queer

Rappler — It was Antoine de Saint-Exupéry that said: "All grown-ups were once children, but only a few of them remember it." For most people, that is simply par for the course of life. Unquestioned lives, filled as they are with bad decisions and worse indecisions. For others, that course forks deep into the woods.

Sundance 2018 Review: RUST, An Intriguing, Split-Screen Portrait of Abuse

ScreenAnarchy — Aly Muritiba’s Ferrugem (lit. Rust) opens with a haunting shot of a gymnotiform. It rears its head out of the coral, eyes still-white, mouth plopping open and shut, and body coated in a corroded tint of yellow. “They say when...

Saul Goodman is set to star in his own 'John Wick' style movie

livinglifefearless.co — By default, stories about retired assassins building normal lives are funny. We've seen this play out most prominently in HBO's excellent dark comedy, Barry, with Bill Hader cast as a former hitman. It's hard not to get a similar vibe off of Nobody, a crime thriller that looks to be of the same ilk as, say, John Wick and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Review: PRIMAL RAGE Springs Familiar Predator Anew

ScreenAnarchy — Like you, the Oh-Mah -- or, as it’s more commonly known, Bigfoot -- tries to keep itself busy. On a sprightly sunny day, it likes to creep laterally from behind pine trees, growl beastly from afar at its prey, and...

Short of the Week: 'Sea Devil' by Brett Potter & Dean C. Marcial

Short of the Week: 'Sea Devil' by Brett Potter & Dean C. Marcial

modernhorrors.com — A terrifying horror film currently unfolds before our very eyes. We're living in a time of unprecedented fear, confusion, and uncertainty. I fear for everyone's safety and sanity.
