Mar 6

Mar 6 [Review] Starfish; Or, Grace and Aubrey's Apocalyptic Playlist

Terry Mesnard
Movies

Messy and slow, but completely moving, Starfish is a meditation on grief and deep depression that really hit home for this reviewer.

[Review] Between the Trees

Mar 5 [Review] Between the Trees

Terry Mesnard
Movies

A very brisk creature feature mashed with what could have been an interesting character drama, Between the Trees just didn’t do it for me.

[Semi-Review] Now Apocalypse: The First Half

Mar 1 [Semi-Review] Now Apocalypse: The First Half

Terry Mesnard
TV, Editor's Picks, LGBTQ, dreadful, Gayly, Gayly dreadful

The first five episodes of Now Apocalypse are a sexy, funny and fun examination of the apocalyptic dating scene in LA, with hints of a darkening conspiracy on the horizon.

[Review] Devil's Path

Feb 28 [Review] Devil's Path

Terry Mesnard
Movies, LGBTQ

An uneven thriller set in the early 90s on a gay cruising trail, Devil’s Path has enough twists and turns to keep you interested, even as the characters won’t.

Level 16 subverts YA expectations with a decidedly dark story that surprised and thrilled me.

Feb 22 The Kill List Vol 3 (February 22nd)

Terry Mesnard
Off Topic, Things I'm Liking, Movies

Volume 3 of The Kill List tackles comics, Evil Dead games and, yes, more reading material for Horror Noire. And we top it off with a shameless plug for one of my reviews that got me called a homophobic slur. We’ll wash it all down with a fantastically catchy song.

[Review] Piercing

Feb 21 [Review] Piercing

Terry Mesnard
Movies

Piercing is a delicious comedy served pitch black.

[Review] Happy Death Day 2U
Feb 14

Feb 14 [Review] Happy Death Day 2U

Terry Mesnard
Editor's Picks, Movies

Happy Death Day 2U eschews the traditional concept of what a horror sequel should be and, by doing so, creates two paths of love and hate.

A24 does it again, with another slow burn horror thriller about a family that seems on the edge of self-destructing even before supernatural forces start to worm their way in.

Feb 8 [Review] The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot

Terry Mesnard
Movies

A surprisingly somber meditation on the concept of American myth-making, The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot hit me in the heart. My review.
