Unsane has been filmed with an iPhone, giving the picture a paranoia-fuelled low-fi fuzz. This is more than just a marketing gimmick, as Soderbergh’s film centers on the idea of stalking – a timely focal point considering the mass of sexual allegations that Hollywood has found itself mired in.
In Birthmarked, a couple embark on an epic study of their own kids, two adopted and one that’s biologically theirs, attempting to raise them into predetermined types of people despite their genetic backgrounds.
The Lodgers never quite meets its potential. This is the kind of Gothic horror mystery that has been done before, better, but that keeps us optimistic for the future of those involved.
We had a chance to speak with Sam Keeley, star of the upcoming horror film The Cured. We spoke about his career, his influences, working with Ellen Page and David Freyne, and what project he’s excited about in the future.
With an intricate and complicated plot but also delving deep into themes of identity and self, Shane Carruth’s Primer is the quintessential modern time travel film.
Whilst there are some scenes in 12 Days that make you wonder what director Raymond Depardon is trying to say, for the most part his documentary is an engaging exploration into the lives of people at the very edge of society, filmed with warmth, humour and humanity.
The Cured is a fantastic zombie film with intelligent writing, precision direction, top-tier acting, and sincere sociopolitical themes and parallels that are essential in elevating horror films to something greater than just scares and gore.
What Sanctuary shows is that a film can come from humble beginnings and a small budget but can have a big outcome on society. It also shows that film should and can be ready to show more diverse stories from the people who have experienced it and who still experience it.
“[It] should be the norm that we’re just casting across the board all kinds of different people, because that’s how our world looks” – we spoke with the insightful and delightful Stephanie Beatriz, who stars in Heather Graham’s HALF MAGIC.
Survivors Guide to Prison is a terrifying must see. Featuring a vast array of legendary celebrities, it is less a documentary and more of an alarming SOS to America.
Half Magic succeeds with the help of Graham’s stellar writing and direction, the cast’s adherence to Graham’s comedic and dramatic vision, and three central characters that serve as great role models to women of all ages.
With all its success over the year and its deep political, racial and socio-economical undertones, and Oscars just around the corner, it seemed an appropriate time to dive back into the horror that is Get Out.
Love After Love premiered to outstanding reviews at Tribeca last year, with the expected enthusiastic praise of MacDowell and kind words for first-time feature director Russell Harbaugh.
