‘The Inhabitant’ Deserves The Axe
You know a movie is going to be bad when it doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page.

‘Knock At The Cabin’ Has Thrills But Never Rises Above B-Movie Feels
The biggest problem with Knock at the Cabin is that two of the characters we’re supposed to care the most of are never really fleshed out. This movie tries so hard to do so many things that I felt the actors in the said roles are never as indistinquishable.

‘Boston Strangler’ Lacks Thrills Of Investigative Journalism In Drab Movie
Watching Boston Strangler, you’d think the sun never shines in New England. And no one wears pastel colors at all. There’s so many drab and dull outdoor scenes of clouded skies, you’d think the movie was filmed in Siberia. Why couldn’t they just film this in black and white since everyone wears dark colors. It’sContinue reading “‘Boston Strangler’ Lacks Thrills Of Investigative Journalism In Drab Movie”
