TRANSIT 17 Review: Guy Bleyaert’s Modest Zombie Action Thriller Falls Short Of Its Ambitions
The UK is a dystopia, ravaged by a virus that has seemingly plagued residents with a disease that kills and reanimates them into zombies.

CONTRACTS Review: Alex Chung Signals With A Bloody, Bone-Crushing, Action-Packed Freshman Indie Feature Debut
The seemingly walled-off millieu that is the film industry is hardly inpenetrable these days with the numerous film artists that have emerged in the last twenty years.

100 ACRES OF HELL Review: Please Take The Advice Given To Our Protagonists
That it took three pairs of hands to direct Indican Pictures’ newest horror, 100 Acres Of Hell, serves a bit bewildering for a low budget indie horror. Then again, if genre movies of this kind are more or less your speed, conscionably, you pretty much get what you pay for.

DEAD EARTH Review: A Sultry, Mininalist Survival Thriller All About Counting On Your Loved Ones
Wych Kaosayananda’s forthcoming release of The Driver will soon cohese with its predecessor, Dead Earth, starring Milena Gorum and Alice Tantayanon.

Review: 6 HOT CHICKS IN A WAREHOUSE, Tons Of Skin And Brutal Fight Fare, And Yet Still So Unwatchable
Not many directors can provenly congregate a set full of beautiful women on an independent production, much less one that aims at its own efforts toward being sexy, edgy and envelope-pushing. Simon Edwards’ 6 Hot Chicks In A Warehouse is all but proof of this fact, in the course of its low production value serving as the template for the modicum of acting by our cast.
Trailer Breakdowns: A Look At Sophia Takal’s BLACK CHRISTMAS
So if you’re reading any articles on this website, I’m going to assume that you are a film fan. What degree of a film fan you are, I don’t know. You could spend every hour possible watching films, discussing them, or reading reviews about them. You could be really picky about what you watch.

So why not a trailer review?

TAZZA: ONE EYED JACK Review: A Brutalizing Allegory On Learning From Your Mistakes And Playing Your Cards Perfectly
A collective world of cardsharps, lonesharks, gangsters and fools looking to win at all costs, Tazza is a multimedia franchise that has certainly earned its place in history. That accolade now shares space with number three on the feature film end of things with Tazza: One Eyed Jack from director Kwon Oh-kwang, offsetting another multilayered crime tale where survival, much like deception, is the name of the game.
