Chattanooga Film Festival: Hell Hath No Fury (2023)
Silas Brewster (Jacob Ryan Snovel) and his wife Priscilla (Leah N.H. Philpott) have gone beyond wanting to kill one another and saying they want to murder each other to actually doing something about it on the very same night. This dark comedy feels more like a broad farce you’d see on stage than a movie, […]
Chattanooga Film Festival: We Might Hurt Each Other (2022)
Known in its native Lithuania as Rūpintojėlis (Caregiver), this is at once a teen drama, a folk horror and a slasher and when it leans into the latter, it goes all the way. Once known as Pensive, the new title is a much better explanation of what happens in this shocker. After their graduation party location gets canceled, […]
Chattanooga Film Festival: Tearsucker (2023)
Lilly (Alison Walter) has finally escaped a horrible relationship and has found the courage to tell the world on social media. That’s something that Tom (Sam Brittan) is just licking up.

Then again, Karloff had already played Dr. Fu Manchu in The Mask of Fu Manchu […]
Junesploitation: Munchies (1987)
June 28: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie— is 80s comedy! We’re excited to tackle a different genre every day, so check back and see what’s next. Any movie that has Harvey Korman as a space archaeologist is pretty much one I’m going to watch. I don’t know why […]
