‘The Neon Demon’ trailer will give you vivid nightmares

A trailer is finally available for the newest project from acclaimed director Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, Only God Forgives, Bronson).

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Witch’ flies above all the hype

Film: The Witch Starring: Anya Taylor-Joy, Kate Dickie, Ralph Ineson Directed by: Robert Eggers If there’s anything we’ve learned from horror cinema, it’s that witches have the immense power to take an already awful day and make it exponentially shittier. Considering that last statement, The Witch’s witches are so hellbent on screwing with a 1630s […]

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Everest’ Offers More Heart Than Suspense

Film: Everest Starring: Jason Clarke, Sam Worthington, Kiera Knightley Directed by: Baltasar Kormákur Not since Vertical Limit has a film reached the heights of mountain climbing entertainment achieved by Baltasar Kormákur’s Everest.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Perfect Guy’ Lacks Suspense, Intrigue

Film: The Perfect Guy Starring: Michael Ealy, Sanaa Lathan Directed by: David M. Rosenthal There is more uncertainty in grocery shopping than in The Perfect Guy.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘No Escape’ Offers Surprisingly Few Thrills

Film: No Escape Starring: Owen Wilson, Lake Bell Directed By: John Erick Dowdle Films like No Escape may be the most frustrating of all forms of mediocre cinema, if only because you know it could be something great.

MOVIE REVIEW: Avoid The ‘Blood Moon’ At All Costs

Film: Blood Moon Starring: George Blagden, Tom Cotcher Directed By: Jeremy Wooding Poor direction and lackluster cinematography unravel any potential for fun or scares in Jeremy Wooding’s Blood Moon. Werewolves are tough. The idea of people who transform into beasts and back again seems like the kind of fodder that would provide material for dozens […]

Que Sera Release Free Cover Of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Guest’ Is A Fun, Throwback Thriller That You Need To See

Film: The Guest Starring: Dan Stevens, Maika Monroe Directed by: Adam Wingard The Guest. So modest a title for so boisterous a film. What sounds like it could be a locked room (or house) slasher from Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett (You’re Next, V/H/S) turns into a big, stylish thriller that throws back to classics both you and […]

New ‘Nightcrawler’ Trailer: Jake Gyllenhaal Is A Creep With A Camera

Dan Gilroy picked one hell of a story for his directorial debut, and after two trailers I am convinced Nightcrawler will be one of the most talked about films of the fall.
