White Chamber starts strong, with its tortuous titular chamber, but unfortunately doesn’t coalesce into anything particularly interesting.

Larry Fessenden’s latest had its world premiere at What the Fest?! in NYC and I was lucky enough to see it. Come see how this stitched up story of Gods and Monsters turned out.

[Review] Just Friends

Mar 26 [Review] Just Friends

Terry Mesnard
Movies, Undreadful, LGBTQ

Just Friends is a fun and funny Dutch romantic comedy about two guys from different cultures falling in and out and in love together. Romantic comedy fluff, sure. But that’s just what I need.

Mar 25 [Review] Division 19

Terry Mesnard

Division 19 is full of fantastic world-building but lacking a cohesive narrative to pull it together.

Mar 23 [Review] Relaxer

Terry Mesnard
Movies

If there were ever a movie that reeks, it’d be Relaxer. A stoner comedy set on the cusp of Y2K, this might be the grossest movie I’ve experienced in a long time.

Lizardmen! Aliens! Beyoncé! Hairy butts! And….Henry Rollins?? The second episode of Now Apocalypse spirals down some rabbit holes. I always knew Beyoncé was too good to be of this earth, but a lizardwoman? Find out in my recap…

Mar 15 [Review] Knife+Heart

Terry Mesnard
Editor's Picks, LGBTQ, Movies
