Movie Review (Panic Fest 2021): Night Drive
The latest entry into the ride-share subgenre of thriller and horror movies is Night Drive, one of the best offerings in the subgenre so far. Funny, smart, and with a truly surprising element, the first co-directing feature film team up from Brad Baruh and Meghan Leon is a blast. AJ Bowen (Dead Night; Satanic Panic; I Trapped the Devil) portrays Russell, a ride-share driver with a fancy car who has gone through a series of personal and professional hardships. He and his freewheeling fare Charlotte (Sophie Dalah of Dead Night and Satanic) share some laughs and drinks, and then Russell accidentally hits a pedestrian. It turns out that Charlotte happens to be quite knowledgeable in the area of body disposal, and the night is only going to get weirder and more dangerous for Russell. Bowen and Dalah have superb chemistry together, with both getting in their share of sarcastic barbs and witty asides. Leon’s crackerjack screenplay gives the duo plenty

Movie Review: At Night Comes Wolves (2021)
Director TJ Marine’s At Night Comes Wolves is headed towards its release. Here are my thoughts on the movie about a cult. Right off to bat we meet a couple, Leah and her husband Daniel. We are given reason after reason to dislike Daniel whose dutiful wife will do anything to please him. She gets to her breaking point and just walks away from her life and her asshole of a husband. She meets a young woman who leads her to her Guru/cult leader, and things quickly unravel as secrets are revealed. The lead character played by Gabi Alves is left lacking. She has very few lines and mostly just mopes around the entire movie, which is not the fault of the actress. There’s also very little character development for her, which is a shame. I think the film was meant to speak out against misogyny and mistreatment, yet when the main character gets out of an abusive relationship she
