Review: ‘The Quiet Hour’ is a Taut Sci-Fi Thriller
Science fiction can be as big and expansive as the newest Guardians of the Galaxy movie or as simple as an episode of the original Twilight Zone. They are contemplative what-ifs set within optimistic futures or bleak destinies approaching our planet Earth. Therefore, one, at least I think so, should appreciate the tenacity and creativity that goes into making a lo-fi science fiction film. In this ...[Read More]

Review: âThe Forest of Lost Soulsâ â Unlike Any Horror Youâve Seen
JosĂŠ Pedro Lopesâ The Forest of Lost Souls(also known by its Portuguese title, A Floresta das Almas Perdidas) is a very interesting kind of horror movie. Describing any aspect of it beyond the first fifteen minutes or so would ruin the impact of whatâs to come. Suffice it to say, The Forest of Lost Souls is a film quite unlike any other youâre likely to see this year. Shot in gorgeous black and wh...[Read More]

Review: ‘Slasher.com,’ Timely Film with Twisty Third Act
Weâve seen it beforeâ and weâve also been warned beforeâ yet none of the bad omens found in horror films, those that are supposed to deter us from the perils of technology, ever actually deter us from anything. Although a Tinder-like app is at the center of Slasher.com, the film posits that itâs not so much the tech, but the people behind the screen that are the true monsters. Something like Tinde...[Read More]

Review: Stephen King’s ‘Rainy Season’ Short Film
Stephen Kingâs story, âThe Rainy Season,â can be found in his 1993 short story collection, Nightmares and Dreamscapes. Itâs not one of Kingâs better-known stories, but the 2017 short film of the same name, written and directed by Vanessa Ionta Wright, does an excellent job of taking what seemed like a slight variation on Shirley Jacksonâs âThe Lottery,â and making it something more. Setting the sh...[Read More]
