Episode 59 – The Keep

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.

Episode 57 – Hollow Man

Paul Verhoeven’s take on the Invisible Man formula is just as sleazy and outlandish as you might expect.

Episode 54 – The Gallows Act II

The sequel nobody asked for to a movie nobody liked, The Gallows Act II also attempts to hitch its wagon to a viral fad long since faded into irrelevance.

Episode 53 – Antebellum

Don’t believe the marketing – or last episode’s outro – Antebellum has nothing to do with time travel, except maybe in the sociological sense.

Episode 47 – Winchester

An improbably deep cast, potentially spooky premise, and a setting brimming with possibility are all wasted in this highly derivative snoozefest.

Episode 46 – The Hunt

Matt and Jim are thrilled to be back at it, but starting with The Hunt after a four-month layoff turns out to be pretty anti-climactic. And why was Trump pissed about this movie, exactly?

Episode 45 – Brahms: The Boy II

Another suspense-less entry in this misbegotten franchise is further undermined by a baffling decision to retcon away the only vaguely interesting thing the first film had going for it.

Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz’s follow-up to Goodnight, Mommy is as bone-chilling as the frozen landscape that it inhabits.
