Movie Review: Outback (2019)
Look man, Australia is hot as all fuck, and full of animals that doubtless would enjoy eating your freakin’ face off. Into that paradise strides Americans Lisa (Lauren Lofsberg) and Wade (Tyler Wiese), two lovebirds on the skids to partake on what was supposed to be a romantic getaway, but is instead a strained mess thanks to Lisa turning down Wade’s marriage proposal at the airport at journey’s start. Speaking of personal problems, soon our in-way-over-their-heads heroes are stranded in the vastness of the Outback (home to venomous snakes, scorpions, and some sky-high temperatures… all of which the duo must face) where the survival of their asses supersedes the survival of their relationship… which is hard to maintain once you are dead. Co-writer (along with Brien Kelly)/director Mike Green deliver a taut, suspenseful narrative (based on an urban legend no less) with Outback that’s impressive both in it’s presentation of the Outback as a malevolent character in and of itself…

Blu-ray Review: Beyond the Door (1974)
Five minutes into Beyond the Door you get narration from ol’ Satan himself, Jesus with tits n’ bush, a basic premise that manages to combine The Exorcist and Rosemary’s Baby, a funk song about the devil (which the musicians are told isn’t as good as their fap sessions), and a kid drinking mother fuckin’ Campbell’s soup straight from the mother fuckin’ can like a mother fuckin’ boss. I feel like “5 skulling” this bad bitch right here and now, but there is so very, very much more… Anyhow, Jessica (Juliet Mills) and her music producer beau Robert (Gabriele Lavia)… a man that loves reading about fish fucking and whom the children lovingly refer to as “asshole”… have found themselves with a new baby on the way, even though Jess is on the pill. Speaking of that finicky fetus, it’s growing at an accelerated rate and Jess is lossing her ever-lovin’ mind in various and sundry violent ways! Meanwhile that soup

Short Film Review: The Leaves (2020)
A young couple moves into a house as suspended autumnal leaves hang in the air… and let me tell you cats n’ creeps, that is but one odd occurrence that’ll be plaguing these folks in the immediate future. Add to the mix a set of neighbors that definitely know there is some sort of shocking secrets within those wicked walls, a set of glowing eyes, a bizarre board game that reveals intimate details of the player’s lives… so yeah, odd to say the least… It’s that strangeness that runs throughout writer/director Matt Rasmussen’s The Leaves that makes this sinister short a wicked winner! Everything from the dialog, to the acting, to the narrative plays out like a fever dream. Hostilities rise and the possibility of other existences are explored while characters deliver lines that seem weighted with an arcane knowledge we as the viewer do not possess. All of the above gives the entire affair a style and flavor all
