The Devil Conspiracy (2022)
The first time I saw the poster for this film, it looked like some kind of alien movie that should in no way be playing at the multiplex — where it did a two-day on demand run in my area — so of course, it fascinated me. Let me tell you, this movie lived up […]
Consecration (2023)
I really liked Christopher Smith’s Triangle. I really, really like occult and Catholic-based horror movies. Consecration feels like it could be a slam dunk, right? Adding Jena Malone as the lead seems like the icing on the cake. Yet why did it all feel so unsatisfying? Malone is Grace, a woman who has just arrived on […]
NEW WORLD PICTURES MONTH: The Romantic Englishwoman (1975)
Blacklisted by Hollywood in the 1950s, Joseph Losey moved to Europe. His exile from Hollywood started when Howard Hughes bought RKO and purged it of people he thought were Leftists. In the book Losey On Losey, he said “I was offered a film called I Married a Communist, which I turned down categorically. I later […]
NEW WORLD PICTURES MONTH: All Men Are Brothers (1975)
New World had already brought The Water Margin to the U.S. as Seven Blows of the Dragon, so they also played the sequel here as Seven Soldiers of Kung Fu, which is I guess thematically a decent sequel title. Co-directed by Chang Cheh and Wu Ma, this follows up the 108 Bandits having freed second-in-command Lu Jun Yi […]

Those people have never seen Death Race 2000, a film that’s packed with pop culture references, ultraviolence, black humor, political commentary and great character moments. After the “World Crash of ’79”, […]
Scream VI (2023)
I’m fully aware going in that I’m the worst person to try and watch this movie. Even the first two films, Scream and Scream 2, the ones most people point out as the reasons why they love this series, do beyond nothing for me. The fan service 2022 not a sequel Scream 5? Scream 4? Scream 3? Yeah. Not […]
