Movie Review: Lucky (2021)

In Lucky, Brea Grant stars as May, a popular self-help author. While she appears to have her life together on the surface, it’s far from normal. Every day she faces off against the same attacker. Even after wounding him, he disappears then returns in an attempt to kill her again and again. Why? She has no idea. But on top of the mysterious man, her husband has gone MIA, and her sister-in-law is acting sketchy as hell. S who is this mystery man and why does he coming back? We’ll get to that. As for action, this movie is filled with it. There are a ton of fight scenes. And I have to say I truly appreciate that director Natasha Kermani keeps them realistic. There are no superwomen here, it’s just women. What started out as a thriller turns into something completely different. It turns out Lucky is actually, in my opinion, about the invisible trauma that women face every

Blu-ray Review: The Stylist (2020)

Hair stylin’ Claire (played to lunatic perfection by Najarra Townsend) is a bit… off. See, ol’ Claire has a penchant for removing the scalps of her clients and putting them on her own noggin to… live vicariously through them? Look, shes unglued, it doesn’t have to make sense… The Stylist, the debut feature from writer/director Jill Gervargizian is nothing if not, well.. stylish. Every frame of this picture is so well realized and put together that the images become works of art (and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the impressive sets utilized here as well)… this is low-budget filmmaking that looks anything but, and was put together by a true artist. Thankfully this film has more going on besides lookin’ damn good (though Satan knows that’s usually enough for yours cruelly… )! A big boon to this production is the acting chops of Townsend who makes Claire a deft blend of pathos, madness, and sexual ambiguity, that results

(Trailer) ‘After Midnight’ Love Gets Scary

After Midnight (formerly known as Something Else) is headed to theaters and VOD this Valentine’s Day, with the fitting tagline “Love will rip your heart out.” In the film, directed by Jeremy Gardner and Christian Stella, and written by Gardner, Hank is dealing with a girlfriend suddenly leaving, but as if that wasn’t tough enough, there’s also a monster trying to break through his front door every night.” Hank is this small-town, good-old-boy hunter, about 10 years into a long-term relationship,” Gardner recently told EW. “He wakes up one morning and his partner, Abby, has just gone, [leaving] just a very cryptic note. Around the same time she leaves, something starts coming out of the swamp at night and scratching at the door and trying to get in. You don’t know if he’s losing his mind, because he doesn’t know where she is, he doesn’t know what this thing is, people don’t believe him. So it’s kind of a creature-feature

Movie Reviews (Frightening Ass Film Fest): After Midnight, Greenlight, and Wrinkles the Clown (all 2019)

After Midnight (formerly titled Something Else) is an odd beast, in the best way. It pushes boundaries on genre blending, resulting in a creature feature film that may be too slow for those hoping for an outright horror outing, but it will highly reward viewers interested in the current trend of quieter, personal fright fare. Writer and codirector (with the film’s cinematographer Christian Stella) Jeremy Gardner (who also helmed, scripted, and starred in The Battery [2012]) stars as Hank, a man content with settling down at his old family home, which is in a state of disrepair, and hunting with buddies when not comanaging the bar he owns with long-time girlfriend Abby (Brea Grant of Beyond the Gates [2016] and Dead Night [2017]). When Abby leaves suddenly with only a short note that doesn’t explain much to announce her departure, Hank becomes isolated and his behavior becomes erratic, including seemingly battling nightly with what he claims to be a monster.
