E. L. Katz’s lukewarm effort “Azrael” shows very few horror elements and does not come close to being scary. The film opens with a lady and a gentleman in what seems to be a romantic relationship but is occasionally strained. The couple is unable to speak and the audience communicates only through affectionate daughter’s embraces […]
Throughout his career, Ron Howard has never shied away from casting a wide net as a filmmaker in the 40 years that he has been active he has made films around mermaids, cocoons, car factories, space travel, firehouses, journalists, geniuses, cave divers, the grinch, DaVinci code, the beatless, and Puccini.

In the category of pretty weird yet fascinating screenplays and thrillers, Shyamalan is almost synonymous with the word itself. While M. Night is the current bearer of this surname, his daughter Ishana wishes to take on this family legacy within the next generation and carve a niche out for herself in a parallel space. Touted

One of the best filmmakers today is Mike Flanagan. The industry professionals I’ve spoken to about him also have a great deal of respect for the man. And for good reason, as he always honors the source material, treats his cast and crew well, and has a very great passion for making films. So, when
This tension remains unresolved in Jane Schoenborn’s second narrative feature which follows a young person’s unquenchable thirst for connection in the achingly dull interstices of digital spaces.
