Indie Movie Review – Contracts
Contracts reminded me of the martial arts films that were everywhere in the ‘70s… the ones which had two ten minute fights in every quarter hour of film. And, to be honest, this isn’t a lot different. The story, such as it is, revolves around an elite group of assassins who are being killed off …

Indie Movie Review – My Summer As A Goth
Teenager – check, female – check, goth – check. So that’s three for three against me being in the right demographic for My Summer As A Goth! But then, when has that ever mattered? If it did, Disney wouldn’t make money until seven year olds got credit cards. My Summer As A Goth is a coming…

Indie Movie Review – Playhouse
The problem I have with ghost stories is an absence of belief in ghosts. Not that that should be a problem… I don’t believe in hobbits, superheroes, or magic, but I still watch and enjoy The Lord Of The Rings, The Avengers, and Harry Potter. So I don’t expect any sympathy for sitting through an independent horror/ghost…

Movie Review – The Croods 2
This is definitely a young kids movie. There’s lots of super saturated bright colors and silly cartoon antics that the characters almost constantly go through. In that light most young kids will probably like it. However, I wonder if they’ll like it anymore than just watching any old cartoon movie again for the 12th time…

Indie Movie Review – The Retreat
As is elsewhere recorded, horror is not my genre of first choice. But I make the effort for the good folk who follow us. So, here in the small corner room that is reserved for the team devoted to watching and reviewing independent films, I have just sat and watched The Retreat. I’ll be honest and…

Indie Movie Review – Derelicts
—
Films like Derelicts do make me worry for the friends that I’ve made over in the USA. More so than just the chance of them being shot by someone claiming to be defending his right to walk around bristling with weaponry, or catching something relatively treatable and being bankrupted. I worry that, over in the States,…

Indie Movie Review – No Such Thing As Monsters
—
So here we are, back in a land down under, where women glow and men plunder… It’s another Ozploitation film. I’ll admit that I’ve had No Such Thing As Monsters available for a few weeks, but have kept putting it off mainly due to the last Australian horror/thriller film I saw: The Faceless Man which was, quite…

Movie reviews don’t write themselves…
I’m fairly confident there is nobody out there with the slightest interest about how I write these reviews, but I’m going to prattle on about it regardless… Thanks to Plague 2.0 and all our cinemas being closed, I’ve been tending to review pre-release, independent films. When I get sent the link there is usually some…

Indie Movie Review – Greatland
What to make of Greatland… Hmmm… well, I’m sure that there’s a message in there somewhere,, but I’m not sure what it is. Is it supposed to be a dystopian vision of what would happen if the beliefs and ideals of the far left came to pass? Well, if the far right’s idea of what would…
