The Perfection follows a troubled cellist who enters into a complicated relationship with a rival cellist as they embark on a disturbing journey that has more twists and turns than should be disclosed here. The Perfection Review FINALLY a horror movie that has lived up to the hype! The Perfection has been causing a stir for months now, and with its release this past weekend, it was second only in order of priority for me to Brightburn (which I reviewed over the weekend), but

Is she losing her mind or is her son not what he appears to be? The Hole in the Ground Review Irish horror films have been generally well-accepted by Efrit and I.

Serenity follows a down-and-out fisherman (Matthew McConaughey) as he lives on the outskirts of a tropical island attempting to catch an elusive tuna. When his ex-wife shows up looking for a deadly favor, his world quickly unravels. Serenity Review This film attempts to drive its runtime off of its interesting plot, but the lack of significant events and its snail-crawl pacing truly tests the attention span of the viewer. Despite the plot's unique take, it does tackle familia

Monster Party follows three friends who attempt to burglarize a rich home while posing as caterers at a dinner party. It soon becomes apparent that this is no ordinary dinner party, and it is occupied by recovering serial killers...and some aren't doing so well at the recovery part.
