**_A feral girl finds succor at a Catholic girls’ school_** This is the third standalone film of a trilogy about wild females, all featuring statuesque Pollyanna McIntosh as The Woman. Pollyanna dives into writing & directing here and the film is proficiently made. I’ve only seen the previous one, “The Woman” from 2011, and I liked the first hour or so, but the last act left a bad taste. Like this one, there's a hint of dark humor so you can't take the proceedings too seriously, but with themes of slavery, cannibalism, torture, domestic violence, rape, incest and murder, that fli…

Honestly, I gave up TRYING to watch this about forty minutes in when the screen was so dark I could barely make out who was who, nevermin what was happening. I don't know if the filmmaker thought this was a 'good technique' or it was a decision made to cover-up some failings but, for me it was the last straw. The story had not managed to capture my interest enough in 40 minutes to stick with it so I called the game, took my bat & my ball and moved into another flick. NOT RECOMMENDED.…

The world is believable, shot very well. The actors are also believable, even if they spend too much time shouting angrily for a horror movie. The overall experience that this movie left me with was a feeling of frustration. The emotional ‘ride’ seemed slow and awkward without any satisfying pay-off at the end. Not to be coarse, for me, investing ninety minutes in this story was all awkward foreplay without any satisfying release of tension. I’m happy that I watched it but would not watch it again nor would I recommend it to others.…

With the army conquered and her city reduced to rubble, Hecuba (Katharine Hepburn), the widow of King Priam of Troy, is bedecked in her mourning garb and awaiting the decision from the Greek victors as to what will be the fate of not just herself, but of her daughter Cassandra (Geneviève Bujold); of Hector's widow Andromache (Vanessa Redgrave) and her young son, and also of the original source of their woes - Helen (Irene Papas) whose husband Menelaus (Patrick Magee) is scenting blood. Stylistically, this isn't so much an history as a collection of powerfully delivered monologues and though th…

Using the legendary tale of the manipulative "Reynard the Fox", this archive packed documentary tells us something of the rise to, and fall from, power of Adolf Hitler in Germany. It is a surprisingly effective parallel to draw as the cunning fox comes from nowhere to outmanourvre those further up the physical and political food chain. By allying himself with equally focussed and often unscrupulous characters - in this case, Göring, Goebbels et al; by some judicious lying and by shrewdly playing the game he quite swiftly ends up at the top of the heap. What is a bit more uniquely potent here i…

**_William Katt returns for the final “House” film_** After the grim previous flick in the franchise, “The Horror Show,” this one returns to the creative horror-comedy of the first two movies, minus the spirit of high adventure of the second. Since, “House III” wasn’t successful at the box office, this was the first installment to be released direct-to-video. Yet several of the same people were involved behind the camera, including main-man Sean S. Cunningham. Katt is also back as Roger Cobb from the first film, although his role isn’t as prominent. Despite the happy ending of “H…

57/100 Early Ray Harryhausen creature feature about a radiation enhanced, giant octopus (with only 6 tentacles) attacking the west coast of the U.S. climaxing at the Golden Gate bridge. The creature effects were wonderful to watch as it threatens several ships and rips the bridge apart making them the obvious highlight of the film. But the stuff in between ...sheesh. The writers seem to have a hard time giving us a plausible story making everything sort of silly and, even considering the sexual moors of the 50's, the relationship dynamics were just plain bizarre. Fun nostalgia. -- DrNos…

Although I haven`t seen this since last summer. I thought it was an important film, that reflects a lot of unheard conversations in this era that we live in. The performances were very good, in fact it felt at times I was watching a live play, with the live wire intensity of the performances. It was tightly put together, and kept me interested throughout. I remember laughing out loud at one point as it reflected something similar I have experienced during a debate.…

The animation is awsome, but I wish they relied less on rotoscoping. It's cool some times, but not all times.…

The story follows a group of people trapped in a mysterious town that no one can escape, where terrifying creatures emerge at night. What makes From stand out is its ability to build a constant sense of dread without relying too heavily on jump scares. Instead, it focuses on atmosphere, character development, and the slow unraveling of the town’s secrets. The performances are solid, especially from the lead characters who portray fear, confusion, and desperation in a believable way. The pacing can feel slow at times, but it helps deepen the mystery and keeps viewers engaged with unanswered …
