This film is filmed really well. There’s not a lot of CGI but there’s some. This takes you on such a ride. It’s about a therapist who works in an emergency ward. People there keep killing themselves for no apparent reason. But you find out later there is a reason. They all poetically die “with a smile on her face.” Listen to my brief 5 minute recording about this film. I give it a 10/10.

What it is we have an undocumented worker from South Africa. She’s trying to make money any way she can to bring her 7 year old son over to the States from South Africa. That’s her struggle in a nutshell. This is an amazing film.

There are minor plot spoilers in the second part of the review. Guillermo del Toro has redone Pinocchio and it’s a ride my friend, A RIDE. I couldn’t help but compare every premise and concept with the Disney cartoon I loved so much as a child. The Toro version takes it to a darker place with a focus on grief. There is also a musical theme reminiscent of “Beauty and the Beast” and “Les Misérables.”
Specifically, it makes the death of Geppetto’s son a horrifying casualty of war. Mussolini’s control of Italy is portrayed prob...

Synopsis: The lone survivor of an enigmatic Russian spaceship incident hasn't returned back home alone-hiding inside his body is a dangerous creature.
Most horror fans will agree, I can say based on my travels, that space and aliens are excellent themes for horror movies. Of course, Ridley Scott’s original “Alien” made the hair stand up on the back of the neck of a generation. I am proud to be included in that. Some more recent incarnations have failed in my view to do that but I pay props to that film...

Riley On Film PodcastPet Sematary 2019, Damien Riley's Podcast Film ReviewAlthough the clown monster hit “It” of the same year may have ended up grossing more box office dollars, “Pet Sematary” is a much better horror movie written by Stephen King, in my opinion. The creepiness permeates and paves the way for a quaint yet terrifying tale of one family and a mystic pet cemetery just behind their house.

Riley On Film PodcastMy Review of "Old" - Horror by M Night ShyamalanThis film succeeded with me in presenting a background in front of which I can see a personal connection. It failed a little in preaching what the background would do for the close up characters, who we are invested in, maybe too much.
It's safe to say this guy's films are spoiled from their release. Even the title here carries a summary. Through peripheral unintentional spoils, I knew it was about people on a beach who either get old or discover people there who got old prematurely. Without spoilers, there's something undefinable on the island and the...

Riley On Film PodcastThe BBC Frankenstein is One Way to Look at itHelen McCrory fans like myself were likely shocked and excited that the lovely actress was to play a female Dr. Frankenstein.
We know this only from the title however since her name is not mentioned as such. Along with the change of gender, this “incarnation” of the mythic monster film is highly protean. The things I liked best about it were: 1) The persona of a mother to the being, 2) The hideous yet credible creature, and 3) the veer away from reanimation in place of creation at a cellular level, like cloning it would seem.

I have to give this one a 10! How can I not? The calculated storytelling with the air of the “Sabotage” video by the Beastie Boys. We aren’t looking at them, we are AMONG them. In fact, we are the accomplice to the killings. Fortunately all the kills are righteous. All men don’t suck right? Wait don’t answer that. There is the “tits and ass” theme everywhere so see it for that if not for the genius style of 70’s noir type horror. This one’s a perfect 10 in my book.

This interesting director's name is Jim Cummings ("Thunder Road"). He's a new director with a lot of energy. Unfortunately I hated his portrayal of the Sheriff. He's slight and seems to lash out uncontrollably for no reason. I attribute that to a writer/actor/director taking on too much. But that doesn't stop the cult praise. I see big scores for this film all over, even on Letterboxd which impresses me since so many of respectable amateur film critics (and pro too) live there.
