Review: CREPITUS Features a Creepy Clown, But Not Creepy Enough
If you’re a fan of the horror genre, you would probably agree that in these films, clowns and children can be creepy, right? So when I read the official synopsis of Crepitus, I was excited. I just knew I’d meet a new creepy clown to scare my coulrophobic friend with and was excited to see the havoc it would wreak.
THE DRIVER Review: Wych Kaosayananda’s Latest Is An Empowered, Redemptive, Zombie Killing Family Affair
It’s been several years since director Wych Kaosayanada overcame arduously weaving together a more marketable narrative of his 2012 Thai murder drama, Angels with the Dustin Nguyen/Scott Adkins starrer, Zero Tolerance. The director even takes a handle of his own cinematography of his work for the most part, which, in turn, contributes to one of my own guilty pleasures, Dustin Nguyen’s Once Upon A Time In Vietnam.
Your Next Viewing: THE FARE
Do you ever get that feeling at work where you feel like you’re just doing the same ol’ thing over and over again? Like you’re stuck in your own version of Groundhog’s Day?

BLOODY MARIE Review: A Brutally Reflective Dramatic Thriller That Doesn’t Kill The Buzz
Lennert Hillege and Guido van Driel‘s slow-burn character study in this year’s release, Bloody Marie, is undoubtedly carried by a mesmeric performance from actress Susanne Wolff. That her portrayal takes you away from the film’s underlying m.o. is worth noting to its credit, gazing as she follows a path of unraveling and often uncouth, cyclical descent into drunken stupor.
DANGER CLOSE Review: An Historic Look Into Battling The Odds On All Sides
You look at the world’s history and at some point you think that all the stories that need to be told about war and the soldiers who’ve fought them have been. History says differently, and certainly from the perspective of director Kriv Stenders who returns with Danger Close, an eye-opening and dramatic tale about a company of soldiers on the edge of death amidst heavy firefighting, aiding the South Vietnamese against the Northern military in 1966.
