Killer Joe | Review

A delicious, glossy throwback to the daring exploitative themes of the 1970s.

Review: Intruders

"What at first starts as a unique and original tale about two different children terrorized by a mysterious being known as Hollow Face quickly unravels into an unfortunate narrative nosedive, developing a freewheeling schism between present day UK and Spain thirty years prior."
