Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead’s latest may not have been the true-blue horror film we anticipated, but it’s still a stylish good time with two charismatic lead performances from Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan.

Episode 70 – Come Play

In spite of one particularly striking spooky image and a mercifully grounded portrayal of autism, Come Play is an uneasy amalgam of too many incompatible genre tropes.

Episode 69 – The Empty Man

New Release, Theatrical Release, , , , , , , ,

Despite its narrative incoherence and bladder-busting length (by horror standards), The Empty Man is a surprisingly entertaining and engaging film.

Two and a half years on the shelf didn’t do this movie any favors. In retrospect, maybe it should have stayed there.

Episode 59 – The Keep

Period Piece, Theatrical Release, , , , , ,

Michael Mann’s follow-up to Thief is a beautiful but incomprehensible hodgepodge – incomprehensible both on a plot basis, and because you can’t hear what the fuck anyone is saying.
