Review in Brief: Butt Boy (2019/20)

Posted on May 26, 2020

Indie horror-mystery BUTT BOY has the schlockiest of schlocky conceits, but approaches it completely straight. Amazingly, it works. It’s a classic tale of a deadbeat alcoholic cop on the hunt for a serial killer, only this serial killer seems to … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: The Platform (2019)

Posted on May 26, 2020

Review in Brief: Bloodshot (2020)

Posted on May 7, 2020

Review in Brief: Emma. (2020)
