Spraic’s film is composed of a text that needs a variety of material sources and is roughly boundless since it features parts from compelling material. In US cinemas, this entertaining documentary dedicated to one of the most successful and concurrently rather peculiar artists Allee Willis appears on Friday in a limited amount. Wishing to tear […]
A woman is heard yelling that her daughters are still trapped inside the building right before the bulldozer demolishes it, pushing through the soldier trying to prevent her from going inside, while the soldier when questioned hardly shows any empathy and in a calm tone of voice says, it doesn’t matter. It does not matter,
Last month, I participated as a jury member of the Narrative Feature Category in the Florida Film Festival, and one of the films that caught my attention was called “Hellbent on Boogie”, directed by Vito Trupiano. The film’s plot addresses an autistic teen (Alyx Ruibal) being raised in a homeschooling and isolation setting by her

What intrigues me most about Chris Nash’s hyperviolent slasher experiment “In a Violent Nature” is that it is not at all scary.
