Movies TV Shows
Country Gold (2022) 88% EDIT “The sheer gutsiness of doing a film like this about a pseudo-subject who’s still alive, especially given the strange places this shaggy-dog story goes, makes it worth a look by itself.” – Story Issues Aug 6, 2022 Full Review The Artifice Girl (2022) 92% EDIT “If you thought the ethics of what’s being done at Boston Dynamics and ILM were unsettling before, wait until The Artifice Girl creeps into your brain.” – Story Issues Aug 6, 2022 Full Review Glorious (2022) 88% EDIT “I certainly didn’t think I’d be moved to self-examination by a Lovecraftian glory hole movie, but here we are.” – Story Issues Aug 6, 2022 Full Review All Jacked Up and Full of Worms (2022) 60% EDIT “A little more script work could’ve turned this weird-tasting, dirty mess of worms into a delicious, nutritious, yet equally-dirty meal.” – Story Issues Jul 21, 2022 Full Review Mad God (2021) 92% EDIT “An impassioned story about creation, exploitation, and destruction that might not make any literal statements in its eighty dialogue-free minutes, but clearly comes from a director with a lot to say about the world we inhabit.” – Story Issues Jul 1, 2022 Full Review Junk Head (2017) 100% EDIT “Junk Head is as unsettling and gory as Cronenberg and as grand and sad as del Toro, with creature design that brings to mind H.R. Giger.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Why Don't You Just Die! (2018) 97% 7/10 EDIT “Why Don't You Just Die? is a wildly successful debut film for Sokolov.” – Slashfilm Feb 15, 2021 Full Review Jurassic Thunder (2019) EDIT “The result of consuming a diet exclusively of comics and blockbusters and never once paying attention to what makes them tick under the surface.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Aug 26, 2020 Full Review Happy Face (2018) 100% EDIT “There's real heart at its core, and its nakedly empathetic yet unbeatific treatment of its unconventional cast is something rarely seen in cinema.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 30, 2019 Full Review Vivarium (2020) 73% EDIT “Vivarium is compelling, depressing, apocalyptic even - and strangely invigorating.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 30, 2019 Full Review The Twentieth Century (2019) 95% 8/10 EDIT “With such a heightened sense of style, and such an absurd sense of humour, it would have been all too easy for The Twentieth Century to descend into farce, yet it never does.” – Slashfilm Sep 30, 2019 Full Review Tammy and the T-Rex: Gore Cut (2019) 100% EDIT “Tammy and the T-Rex is dumb as a bag of rocks - but it's funny...” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 23, 2019 Full Review Koko-di Koko-da (2019) 80% EDIT “A triumphantly unique work of cinematic art, telling a universal story in genuinely innovative ways that continue to burrow into the mind long after the film rolls to a close.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 23, 2019 Full Review Mope (2019) 53% 8/10 EDIT “Not many films have started this funny and uplifting, while ending this bleak and depressing.” – Slashfilm Sep 23, 2019 Full Review On the Silver Globe (1987) 100% EDIT “One can only imagine how influential it would have been had it been completed and released as intended.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 1, 2019 Full Review Another Evil (2016) 67% EDIT “Much of Another Evil's charm comes from Mark Proksch's performance as Os, the most eccentric ghost hunter in a genre full of eccentric ghost hunters.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 1, 2019 Full Review The Lure (2015) 89% EDIT “A fun and eye-openingly original ride, gleefully leaping from genre to genre with nimble grace.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 1, 2019 Full Review I Am Not a Serial Killer (2016) 93% EDIT “Provides a rare non-judgemental character portrait of sociopathy, engaging with it intelligently without ignoring its dangerous side.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 1, 2019 Full Review Red Christmas (2016) 48% EDIT “A bewildering cavalcade of nonsense where nearly every creative decision is either questionable or objectively incorrect.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 1, 2019 Full Review We Are the Flesh (2016) 73% EDIT “We Are The Flesh is either unwatchable or unmissable, depending on your attitude towards unconventional filmmaking and weird sex cults.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 1, 2019 Full Review She's Allergic to Cats (2016) 71% EDIT “It's funny and confounding and adorable and gross all at once, and I love it to goddamn pieces.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 1, 2019 Full Review The Evil Within (2017) 100% EDIT “A stream-of-consciousness nightmare that would never have existed were it not for the confluence of money, mental illness, and fanatical devotion to vision.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 1, 2019 Full Review Yoga Hosers (2016) 26% EDIT “No amount of self-deprecating jokes will make Yoga Hosers a better movie, or Smith a more honest filmmaker.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 1, 2019 Full Review Blood Father (2016) 89% EDIT “Full of ugly personalities and dirty imagery, it's a return to the glory days of unpretentious action thrillers that did what they set out to do, and nothing more.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 1, 2019 Full Review Salyut 7 (2017) 100% EDIT “As foreshadowed by a nailbiter of a prologue involving a tiny hole in a spacesuit, almost every one of Salyut-7's episodic problem-solving sequences are grip-your-seat suspenseful.” – Birth.Movies.Death.
