The Sacrifice Game Review

Sometimes it’s harder to figure out when a movie actually released than it should be. When I’m looking at a movie and trying to figure out what year it came out in, especially as of these last few years–I do a lot of Best Of lists and keep tally of where the flicks I watch belong–too often the “release date” can be frustratingly inaccurate.

The Holdovers Review

The Holdovers is exactly the kind of movie I typically greatly enjoy. A low-stakes, grounded, comedy-drama about interpersonal relationships. And it’s distributed by Focus Features! Even better! I should have already had my mind harkening back to movies such as Lost In Translation or Dan In Real Life. But, for whatever reason, I kind of let The Holdovers pass me by while it was in … Continue reading The Holdovers Review

Anyway, if you understand … Continue reading The Boy And The Heron Review

The Night Of The Missing Review

The horror anthology features genre favorites Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects) and Jenna Kanell (Terrifier). Anthology movies are often quite fun! Horror anthologies usually remind me of Trick R Treat, the cult classic antho from the late 00’s starring Brian Cox, Anna Paquin, and others. It’s one of the … Continue reading The Night Of The Missing Review

Visitors (2023) Review

Fresh off its world premiere at Fantastic Fest, Visitors possesses SCREAMBOX exclusively on November 21. The Japanese splatterfest has drawn comparisons to Evil Dead, The Exorcist, and The Toxic Avenger. (Originally posted HERE on 11/11/2023) I’m not going to lie to you; I have no idea how to review this movie. Visitors, the 2021 Japanese horror flick written and directed by Kenichi Ugana, was originally … Continue reading Visitors (2023) Review
