Independent Film Review – Overkill
—
Within the first five minutes of Overkill, Taylor (Carol Kim) is brutally murdered in her home. She is stabbed many times by a man inside her room. The man was there to kill her…not to rob, kidnap, or assault her. He came with his own big, sharp knife and knew that there would be nobody…

Independent Film Review – What We Find On The Road
—
What is it about Americans and road movies? There are a few road films set in the UK but, given that it only takes about fifteen hours to drive from Land’s End to John o’Groats a British road trip is never going to be a marathon excursion. The USA is a much bigger beast though.…

Surprisingly, the story ends up about where you would expect, but it takes some unexpected routes to get there. Bonus, it…

As a result it’ll do no harm to start getting in the festive spirit. Maybe I don’t need to…

Independent Film Review – I’m Charlie Walker
—
When is a true story not a true story? When the opening card says “Based on a true story” and the closing one says “All characters and events in this film, even those based on real individuals, are completely fictional.” So is I’m Charlie Walker a true story or not? Well…yes and no. The story…

Independent Film Review – The Avenger
—
I do like a puzzle. Admittedly I prefer when I know that I’m doing a puzzle rather than just not being 100% sure what’s going on. I started watching The Avenger “A British action, gritty, style ‘TAKEN’ set in London and LA based on a true story” as it describes itself. The story is, undeniably,…

His ability to convey profound emotional depth with subtlety captivates the audience, drawing them into the film’s chilling narrative. The metaphors woven throughout the story are haunting, challenging viewers to reflect on the complexities…
