All this style is in service of a fairly formulaic story about volatile men going crazy at the edge of nowhere.

“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle” is a flashy, frenetic, and thoroughly entertaining action anime that delivers on both a visual and emotional level.

This movie rules.

A movie that frustrates more than it thrills, never quite finding the right tone for the most harrowing night in the lives of its characters.

“Beast of War” is gnarly in all the ways that a shark midnight movie should be.

A leaden bore, a movie that alternates between making no sense at all and insulting the intelligence of the audience.

Despite a strong premise, Bertino struggles to define what he’s trying to say with the piece, falling back on way too many loud noises and jump scares.

“Black Phone 2” is messed up in ways that big-budget movies from major studios are rarely allowed to be.

“Doin’ It” is more of a fling than one for the books, but it’s a fun one, nonetheless. 

“Shelby Oaks” is a film that plays like a checklist of clichés, a movie that so aggressively employs techniques we’ve seen work better elsewhere that it becomes almost numbing.
