Short Film Review – Dawn: Year Seven

January 24, 2020April 24, 2020 Jeremie Sabourin

Jay Reel’s Dawn: Year Seven, a short prequel to the writer/director’s 2003 feature, Dawn, does more telling than showing but has more heart than expected from a vampire film.

Indie Film Review: The Nightmare Gallery

January 21, 2020April 24, 2020 Jeremie Sabourin

Gene Blalock’s debut feature, The Nightmare Gallery, looks nice and establishes a unique tone but lacks in story and substance.

In Theaters Review: Underwater

January 17, 2020April 24, 2020 Jeremie Sabourin

William Eubank’s new sci-fi/horror film, Underwater, is a surprisingly good January film with its claustrophobic feel and Alien-esque tone.

Short Film Review: Italian Turtles

January 9, 2020April 24, 2020 Jeremie Sabourin

Vin Nucatola’s Italian Turtles is an amusing little short that spotlights the absurdity of trying to pitch an idea like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

January 7, 2020April 24, 2020 Jeremie Sabourin

The 2020 version of The Grudge boasts an impressive cast but fails at every conceivable level to scare, shock, or entertain.
