Lin Shaye’s perfectly campy performance can’t save a movie that doesn’t know what it wants to be. She’s a star, though.
Strawberry Flavored Plastic is an interesting mix of found footage and mockumentaries, centered around a serial killer and the filmmakers who want to film him in the act.
Punk rock meets nature in Jenn Wexler’s The Ranger, a movie I wish had a better script and more interesting characters but rocks some fantastic practical effects and great queer representation.
Albatross Soup is a lateral thought experiment that asks the question, why would a man kill himself after ordering albatross soup?
Marilyn is based on a depressing true story that mixes an LGBTQ coming of age story with rural bigotry and desperation. It’s heavy as hell.
Sadistic Intentions surprised me with fantastic performances and a focus on character development.
Fingers defies explanations to be the weirdest film I’ve seen this year. I don’t know if that’s a compliment or not.
Sauvage/Wild is a painful journey of a sex worker looking for love in a hopeless place.
Something Else just had its world premiere at Tribeca. It is Jeremy Gardner’s latest mashup of horror and drama and it is probably his best.
Another world premiere debuting at Tribeca Film Festival, Aamis/Ravening is a genre-adjacent dark romance that goes in some unsettling and taboo directions.
From the Chatanooga FIlm Festival, Body at Brighton Rock is a mixed bag of naturalistic horror with the most fun protagonist I’ve seen I’ll year.
The Gasoline Thieves is world premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival. It’s an intense combination of crime fiction disguised as a coming-of-age story and it is as brutal as it is good.
Penny Lane’s funny and absurdly real documentary about The Satanic Temple is worth a watch.
Emotionally driven and offering a more complex look at sexuality than I expected, Giant Little Ones should not be missed.
Full Moon Features dives into interactive filmmaking with Deadly Ten.
Madness, cannibalism, bigotry and sexism collide in a deliberately paced debut.
