It may not be Eggers’ best work, but that’s a very high bar to clear. This is a beautifully shot, handsomely mounted reimagining of the landmark silent film, with standout performances all around.

Episode 175 – The Watchers (2024)

Ishana Night Shyamalan’s feature directorial debut unfortunately shares a lot of DNA with her father’s worst work, particularly Lady in the Water. The result, like that film, is rather tedious.

William Brent Bell’s latest is a cut above most of his other work, which is to say it’s a run-of-the-mill folk horror film with a lousy ending.
