Tribeca Festival Review – ‘The Future’ is a Thought-Provoking Multi-Character Study

There is so much that society is on the cusp of doing, and any one technological advancement could have a resounding impact on the way civilization functions.

Tribeca Festival Review – ‘Blood for Dust’ is a Dreary and Unnerving Crime Thriller

Crime doesn’t always pay, and typically it takes much more than it gives. The promise of some reward from a job almost never comes easily or without strings, and the notion of one payoff being enough to set someone up for life hardly ever works out, since the allure of returning for more is just…

Tribeca Festival Review – ‘Alone Together’ is an Expected Early Pandemic Romance

The number of films being made about the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be increasing, and for good reason: what many thought was going to be a two-week break from normalcy has become, two years in, a new reality where some restrictions are still in place in parts of the country, some people continue to wear…

When director Scott Derrickson and co-writer C. Robert Cargill unleashed Sinister onto the world in 2012, they were shot into a new legendary status in the horror community.
