Review

A crop of the box for the double feature The Unseen and the Uninvited, with an art deco painting mostly in shades of green with a man in a suit holding an unconscious woman while in the background a face with wide eyes stares and a shadow lurks

Uninvited and Unseen: Two Chilly Classics of the 1940s on Blu-ray Together

By Orrin Grey • July 26th, 2024

The success of The Uninvited hangs in the air around Lewis Allen’s 1945 follow-up, The Unseen.

This Town Needs Me: It’s a Wonderful Knife (2023)

By Orrin Grey • December 20th, 2023

This is a film where the plot and performances are more stylized than the shooting and, as a result, is a disjointed, tonal mess.

A Scene That Defies Belief: Godzilla Minus One (2023)

By Orrin Grey • December 5th, 2023

As with Shin Godzilla, this is an attempt to return to Godzilla’s roots as a purely destructive force. There is no way in which this Godzilla is a “good guy,” even as roundaboutly as the one from the MonsterVerse films.

Swamp Thing takes a lot more swings at being “crowd-pleasing” than anything Wes Craven had worked on in the past.

I Don’t Get Nightmares: Scaring Yourself with Talk to Me (2023)
