Cobweb (2023) - Movie Review

Already on a renewed hot streak thanks to Joy Ride and Mutant Mayhem, Point Grey Pictures have decided to stretch out into new territory by backing a straight-up horror movie. As a fan of Rogen and Goldberg’s work behind the scenes, I’m certainly curious about what such a thing would look like, especially since comedians seem to do well when they embrace their scary side (just look at Jordan Peele). Sure, this is written by Chris Thomas Devlin, who shat out Texas Chainsaw Massacre last year, but hey, I'm open to the possibility of improvement.

Antlers (2021) - Movie Review


This film should’ve been an easy lay-up for someone like me. A Guillermo Del Toro produced creature feature about Indigenous mythology and the purpose of cultural storytelling. I know I can end up digging myself into my own navel with these kinds of topics, but I genuinely find them to be fascinating, so I was definitely curious to see how this film would turn out. Well, while it definitely has its points of interest, it also suffers from a real lack of focus that ends up hindering its juicier aspects.
