But Craig Mazin’s script for The Sheep Detectives—adapted from Leonie Swann’s 2005 novel Three Bags Full—refuses to play it safe. It is a mystery comedy that […]
NEON BLU-RAY RELEASE: Exit 8 (2026)
What if an indie walking simulator game, set in a sterile Japanese subway hallway, became an exploration of existential dread, domestic panic and impending fatherhood? Video game adaptations often fall into one of two camps. They either cling too tightly to every button prompt and fan service moment until the narrative is stifled. Or worse, […]

GENRE BLAST X: This House Is Totally Haunted (2026)
Following up on 2024’s The Ceremony is About to Begin, Sean Nichols Lynch returns with This House is Totally Haunted, a film that doesn’t just subvert the genre’s rigid rulebook; it gleefully takes a sledgehammer to it.

GENRE BLAST X Shorts Blast #1: Tripping the Sci-Fantastic
Here’s the first lineup of shorts I watched at Genre Blast. Wooly Bully (2025): What a rough watch. I don’t mean that in a bad way. I mean that in an “I have lived this movie” way. My dad’s descent into dementia was not easy to navigate, and as always, avoidance and denial were probably […]
