Guy Who Knows Nothing About STRANGER THINGS Reviews the STRANGER THINGS Theatrical Finale The truth is, we never love anything big.

THE BRIDE! Unearths the Bones of Frankenstein, Then Abandons Them The new film from Maggie Gyllenhaal uses familiar imagery and tropes, while abandoning the heart of Shelley’s classic. A woman has never directed an adaptation of Frankenstein. This is accurate in both the most literal sense (no woman has ever directed a feature film that is a direct adaptation of Mary Shelley’s novel) and until […] The post THE BRIDE!

ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN Remains a Compelling Testament to the Power of Journalism [4K-UHD] A timeless feature that highlights the quaint notion of holding elected officials to a moral and legal standard. For decades, the fall of Richard Nixon stood as the most significant stain on the American presidency, a dramatic unraveling brought about not by spectacle, but by dogged reporting, and the steady pursuit of truth. All the […] The post ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN Remains a Compelling Testament to the Power of Journalism [4K-UHD] first appeared on Cinapse.

Rod Blackhurst on DOLLY: Crafting Indie Horror with Guts, Grit, and Practical Effects Rod Blackhurst’s (Blood for Dust, Night Swim) Dolly was one of those Fantastic Fest discoveries I walked into with zero expectations and walked out genuinely impressed. Not just because of the gnarly, wince-inducing practical effects, but because of its unapologetic swing-for-the-rafters ambition. Channeling a Northeast backwoods riff on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the film follows […] The post Rod Blackhurst on DOLLY: Crafting Indie Horror with Guts, Grit, and Practical Effects first appeared on Cinapse.

SIRÂT: Rave, Ruin, Redemption One of my favorite films from last year is finally reaching theaters: Sirât, Oliver Laxe’s visceral and emotionally charged masterpiece. It traces the metaphorical journey of a group of outsiders forced into uneasy communion — a film that might best be described as Climax meets Sorcerer. Before the film begins, a line appears on screen: […] The post SIRÂT: Rave, Ruin, Redemption first appeared on Cinapse.
