With a taut premise and powerhouse performances from Bill Skarsgård and Anthony Hopkins, the film crafts a nerve-wracking experience that forces both its protagonist and the audience into a relentless battle of wits and endurance.
This audacious rock opera packs plenty of ambition but flies a bit too close to the sun.
Part sickeningly sweet romcom, part gleefully violent action flick, Novocaine is a mixed bag of gory fun.
For all its ambition, The Electric State is a movie that, ironically enough given its premise, lacks a soul.
Director Flying Lotus takes a familiar premise — an isolated survivor on an alien planet piecing together the bloody puzzle of a massacre — and electrifies it with sheer audiovisual ferocity.
With a stellar cast, a heady mix of existential dread and dark humor, and a story that genuinely lingers, it cements itself as yet another masterful chapter in the filmmaker’s already storied career.
Director Kyle Hausmann-Stokes crafts a film that walks a delicate tightrope, balancing grief, guilt, and PTSD with a profound amount of heart and humor.
Rats! delivers an experience that is not only wildly entertaining but also shockingly cohesive in its absurdity.
