Director/Producer Jenn Wexler’s sophomore feature, The Sacrifice Game, continues her streak for unpredictable narratives centered around teen girls. Unlike the anarchic ’80s punk rock spirit of her feature directorial debut, The Ranger, The Sacrifice Game shifts gears in tone and era to examine friendship amidst a demonically charged home invasion over Christmas break. Its narrative turns, characters that challenge perceptions, and […]

Steven Spielberg’s Jaws left an indelible mark on cinema upon release in 1975, ushering in the summer blockbuster as we know it. Like its many taglines, Jaws also made people afraid to go into the water thanks to a newfound fear of man-eating sharks. And the film’s massive box office success created a tsunami of copycats, launching the “sharksploitation” […]

‘Sympathy for the Devil’ Review – Not Even Nicolas Cage Can Liven Up This Thriller

July 26, 2023 Meagan Navarro Joel Kinnaman, Movies, Nicolas Cage, Reviews, Sympathy For the Devil

No matter the role or movie, Nicolas Cage reliably makes fascinating choices that captivate and frequently entertain. So, it goes without saying that Cage playing an enigmatic gun-wielding madman sounds like the perfect foil for Joel Kinnaman’s straight-man in the cat-and-mouse road thriller Sympathy for the Devil. Despite Cage’s presence and the pulpy stylings, though, this […]

‘Haunted Mansion’ Review – Faithful Adaptation of the Dark Ride Brings a Heartfelt Look at Grief

The final verse of Robert Frost’s memorable poem, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” inspires and captures the essence of writer/director Teresa Sutherland’s (The Wind, “Midnight Mass”) directorial debut. Lovely, Dark, and Deep applies cosmic horror to a familiar genre setting, the wilderness, to unfurl a twisted, stunningly shot psychological mood piece. While Frost’s poem was […]
