Indie Film Review: By Night’s End

Walker Whited’s debut feature, BY NIGHT’S END, is often maddeningly illogical but still ends up being an engaging crime/thriller.

TO YOUR LAST DEATH is a highly entertaining horror/comedy with amazing original animation and plenty of blood and guts to satisfy genre fans.

Guy Moshe’s LX 2048 is a bit messy but paints a picture of feasibly grim future of humanity in the near future.

Gavin Michael Booth’s LAST CALL tells a heartfelt and impactful story in real-time with only two takes throughout the entire film.

Al Bailey’s debut film, DTF, starts out with a pilot looking for love but devolves into depravity and ugliness that you can’t look away from.

Don Swanson’s Occurrence at Mills Creek delivers the same intrigue as its short film counterpart but too often strays from its horror tone.

Brandon Slagle’s ATTACK OF THE UNKNOWN is a well made sci-fi/action flick that’s a bit too long and lacks a singular identity.

The debut film from the Shakespeare sisters, SOUNDTRACK TO SIXTEEN, is an awkwardly funny, yet accurate, trip back to adolescence.

The new film from Henk Pretorius, THE UNFAMILIAR, is a fun and spooky horror flick that suffers from rapid pacing and lack of exploration.

PRETENDING I’M A SUPERMAN is a fascinating nostalgia trip on skateboarding and, of course, the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater video game franchise.
