Indie Movie Review – Fugue
Fugueย opens with a two part definition of what a fugue actually isโฆ A period during which a person suffers from loss of memory, often begins a new life, and upon recovery, remembers nothing of the amnesic phase.

Indie Movie Review – Sinbad The Fifth Voyage (Ultimate Director’s Cut)
Sinbad: The Fifth Voyage Ultimate Directorโs Cut, to give it its full title, hooked me in from the first words. Mind you, they were spoken by Sir Patrick Stewart and I would do anything asked of me by that voice! Iโm old and straight but if he asked, Iโd think about it. Fortunately I know…

Indie Movie Review – The Devil To Pay
The Devil To Pay took me by surprise! When I was told about the screener it came with an editor’s note sayingโฆ โA nice thriller for you. I love these ‘in the woods’ movies.โโฆso I had started to make up my mind what I was about to see and, if Iโm honest, โpsycho with an…

Indie Movie Review – Pulse
Part of the pleasure of being given the opportunity to watch and review independent films for RunPee is finding films likeย Pulse. Iโll be honest, a fair few are not wonderful. Some are well done in certain ways and not so much in others; well shot but badly acted, good story but poor dialogue, and various…

Indie Movie Review – Rialto
Rialto is one of those films that you watch and, afterwards, think, โWhat the hell was that? Was that entertainment or have I just had an emotional battering?โ If you want a nice, easy, relaxing way to spend an hour or so then Iโd recommend you have a look and see what Pixar has got…

Indie Movie Review – Monochrome: The Chromism
To be brutally frankย Monochrome: The Chromismย is a bit of a mess. Incidentally, I have to refer to this film by its full name,ย Monochrome: The Chromism,ย as thereโs a 2016 film calledย Monochromeย which is a totally different story. Anyway,ย Monochrome: The Chromism starts off with a chap driving cross country, walking through a battlefield, by a wrecked building, across…

Indie Movie Review – Homewrecker
Homewrecker was a bit of a change for meโฆ the first independent film Iโd seen that had people in it that Iโd seen before!ย Alex Essoe, who played Michelle, was in Doctor Sleep (as Wendy Torrance no less!) and Precious Chong, who played Linda, had been in L.A. Confidential and Pearlย Harbor. Besides those two, there…

Indie Documentary Review – Red, White & Wasted
For the first ten minutes or so of Red, White & Wasted I was expecting to realise that this was a satire but — while that feeling never fully went away — I did realise that these were real people actually sharing their lives with us. So Red, White & Wasted is the story of…

Indie Documentary Review โ Rom Boys – 40 Years Of Cool
Cards on the tableโฆ I enjoy a good documentary. But then comes the sticky questionโฆ what makes a good documentary? That it has to be well made and entertaining, so that you want to spend the time watching it is a given, but what moves things to the next level is when there is a…

Indie Movie Review – Jurassic Thunder
Fancy something totally bizarre and ludicrous? Jurassic Thunder is your baby! So you have a secret base with weaponized dinosaursโฆ Iโll just let that sink in for a second.ย As if dinosaurs werenโt scary enough, imagine a T-Rex with a huge gun strapped to its head. Then, they are your last line of defense and…
