Underwater (2020)
“You lose your sense of time in the dark.” Practically lifeless, lit by the despair of isolating desolation, and set in the deepest trenches of Earth’s most terrifying and unexplored […]

Doctor Sleep (2019)
“They come back.” At its core, Doctor Sleep takes Stephen King’s novel (which I admittedly have not read) and flips the pages into a supernatural horror story built for the […]
Sweetheart (2019)
“I’ve never seen it during the day.” Conceptually speaking, Sweetheart is an intriguing and easy sell for curious audiences to buy into. The first predatory shot lifts the camera from underwater […]

Luz (2019)
“If you tell her it smells like fish, she smells like fish.” It’s strange. I’ve literally sat through Luz’s dense 70 minutes three times. Twice concurrently and once more as […]
