Never Grow Old
A review by Alex Saveliev for Film Threat2019-03-21
Ivan Kavanagh has an eye for style and a clear gift for building suspense. That said, the film is sadly less than the sum of its frequently-impressive parts. If nothing else, his messy, violent, dark and sad reflection of our society proves that the Western will never grow old.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Big Kill
A review for Film Threat2019-03-19
In the end, two things prevent Big Kill from being a complete flop. First, Mark Atkins’ cinematography is gorgeous, containing sweeping vistas that would’ve made John Ford proud. And second, although most of the characters are caricatures, several of the actors clearly get a kick out of their roles, particularly Patric. If only the rest of the movie were as entertaining as they are.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Pet Sematary
A review by Bobby LePire for Film Threat2019-03-18
Pet Sematary balances humor, drama, and horror believably while exploring the inner turmoil of a seemingly ordinary couple; though the script does not go far enough in establishing their new life and dodgy special effects hurt some scenes. Happily, the cast makes up for these flaws with great turns, lead by Jeté Laurence, whose performance is reason enough to watch the film.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase
A review by Norman Gidney for Film Threat2019-03-18
This is innocuous, pop entertainment and, taken on those grounds, it does the job just fine.Read entire review on Film Threat -
The Beach Bum
A review by Bobby LePire for Film Threat2019-03-15
The Beach Bum is not a terrible movie. The directing is competent, the score is excellent, and the cast is game and hilarious. However, considering who was at the helm, it is not focused enough and winds up with nothing to say.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Teen Spirit
A review by Bobby LePire for Film Threat2019-03-14
Minghella’s incredible directorial debut is a technicolor, neon-drenched fever dream. It is told with remarkable visual prowess, jaw-dropping editing, a soundtrack to die for, career-best performances from its central cast, and most importantly, heart. This is not to be missed.Read entire review on Film Threat -
The Hummingbird Project
A review by Alex Saveliev for Film Threat2019-03-12
This hummingbird soars. It has that based-on-a-true-story feel, with all the urgency and verisimilitude of a real-life tale. A sad and visceral indictment of our society under the guise of a thriller, Kim Nguyen’s rousing cinematic elegy will sneak up on you, like its titular moth.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Us
A review for Film Threat2019-03-09
Us is a bit predictable and contains a few jumbled auditory edits. However, these small missteps are in the service of an ambitious story that has a lot to say about what divides us as humans and how those divisions hurt everyone. Peele’s direction contains a tight grasp on horror and comedy, balancing both perfectly. His game cast shines brightly in their dual roles, and the ending makes the whole endeavor well worth your time.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Captain Marvel
A review by Lorry Kikta for Film Threat2019-03-08
The film also has some hilarious moments and some that tug at your heartstrings.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Giant Little Ones
A review by Alex Saveliev for Film Threat2019-03-01
Behrman sidesteps overt sentimentality, captures some heartrending moments and most importantly, doesn’t resolve everything with a neat “happily ever after” conclusion. The lasting impression Giant Little Ones casts may not be “giant” – but it’s certainly not “little” either.Read entire review on Film Threat -
The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot
A review by Hunter Lanier for Film Threat2019-02-26
The Man Who Killed Hitler and then the Bigfoot isn’t the loony chuckle-fest that many might want and it’s not as affecting a character piece as Krzykowski might want, but it’s a crackpot showcase for a performer who deserves one or two, crackpot or otherwise.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Lords of Chaos
A review for Film Threat2019-02-26
Of course, the argument can be made that a film is a work of art, which grants extended artistic license. Fine, then why not use the events as a basis for a fictional story rather than deliver unabashed inaccuracy in the name of art?Read entire review on Film Threat -
1st Summoning
A review by Nick Rocco Scalia for Film Threat2019-02-26
1st Summoning‘s final act plays like one of the better-quality segments from the V/H/S franchise, and it suggests that this filmmaking team might have been better represented by an all-killer-no-filler short subject rather than a feature.Read entire review on Film Threat -
2050
A review by Dante James for Film Threat2019-02-26
Though the title would have you believe you were watching a “futuristic” film involving robots, the truth is, it just feels like a cheesy soap opera or novella.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Living in the Future's Past
A review for Film Threat2019-02-21
Living in the Future’s Past is quite conventional and presumably something we’ve already seen before, but it never hurts, especially as we are reaching the point of no return.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Heavy Trip
A review by Filipe Freitas for Film Threat2019-02-19
Heavy Trip is an absurdist, powerhouse folly, which feels spunky enough to honor the musical genre and comes filled with deadpan hilarity to please comedy addicts.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Then Came You
A review for Film Threat2019-02-19
Then Came You has a little of every romantic film that you’ve seen in the past two decades, and even though it’s not quite original, it still is a good film that will give you a lump in your throat. The talent in front and behind the camera are reasons alone to give this film a watch.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Untogether
A review for Film Threat2019-02-19
With terrific pacing, knockout script, and actors who know what to do with it, Untogether quickly earned its place in the subgenre of romance worth watching.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Game Changers
A review by Alex Saveliev for Film Threat2019-02-19
Game Changers does a formidable job of patiently tracing the history of game shows from their very inception to the current deluge of such shows on TV.Read entire review on Film Threat -
St. Agatha
A review by Norman Gidney for Film Threat2019-02-19
St. Agatha is a fine thriller that is much better than you will expect it to be. Bousman guides a coherent and nimble narrative to shocking and satisfying builds.Read entire review on Film Threat
