Lee B. Golden III

If there’s at least one other thing to take away from enjoying the most recent Jonathan Millott/Cary Murnion thriller, Becky, its the prospect of seeing how its writers, Ruckus Lane and Skye Lane, bode in the director’s chair. The former has already done numerous shorts and television projects at the helm. Thus, he joins the latter this time around, landing their directorial debut debut with The Devil To Pay, set within the rural, leafy hills and roads of the Appalachians.

Your Next Viewing: ANGELS FALLEN

Christina Ortega

What do you get when you mix angels, demons, demon hunters, and a mystic who can see the future? You get an action-packed battle between good evil otherwise known as Angels Fallen. The action-horror was released on January 14th and if you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the trailer: I was first drawn to this film because it sounded like a really long episode of Supernatural and for me the only disappointing thing about it was that Michael Madsen’s role was not as big as I thought it’d be. Otherwise, I was pulled into the story right away and needed to see what would happen to Michael and his team. In case the trailer wasn’t enough, here’s the official summary: The Prophecy says that on January 14, 2020 Michael Madsen and Nicola Posener will see Angels Fallen. After the tragic loss of his wife battling the forces of darkness, Gabriel […]

BLOODY MARIE Review: A Brutally Reflective Dramatic Thriller That Doesn’t Kill The Buzz

Lee B. Golden III

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. It’s been six years since the success of her debut novel and her life in Amsterdam’s red-light district has now become an empty void, filled with various brands of alcohol and wine coolers in place of where her creativity used to be. And that’s pretty much the way it’s been and still is, going forward, whilst living hermitically in the confines of her drab, hushed and darkly lit apartment. Her own solitude notwithstanding, the only things that keep her company next to her dog, Lietze, is the quiet, nightmaring regret stemming […]
