After a mysterious Count purchases some land in 19th-century Germany, a deeply evil presence casts its shadow on the city. Call him Dracula. Call him Orlok. Just don't call him collect. Transylvania's far.

Juror #2 is a high-concept story, as it centers around a juror in a murder trial who not only knows the defendant to be innocent, but is himself guilty of the crime.

We meet two Mormon girls (Thatcher and East) on their uphill assignment of converting complete strangers to an entirely new religion. They're naive, but smart, and easy targets for mockery. When Mr. Reed (Grant) opens the door with a humble smile, it's a radical contrast to the cruel bullies from earlier in the day. But their pleasant visit quickly turns into a sinister lecture on religion.

The life of Grace Pudel (Snook) is not a charmed one, but it's not an unusual one either. It's a volatile wave of bad decisions, strokes of luck, thunderbolts from God, and beautiful epiphanies.

Napoleon, the latest from director, Ridley Scott, is the subject of this Feature Underground review.
The film follows the titular Frenchman (Joaquin Phoenix) as he climbs the ranks from regular fella to nearly conquering the world. His famous better half, Josephine (Vanessa Kirby), is there too.
Hunter discusses the movie's "greatest hits syndrome," it being neither epic nor personal, and Ridley Scott's inability to elevate--or diminish--material.

The Killer, the latest film from David Fincher, is the subject of this episode of Feature Underground. Michael Fassbender stars as an assassin of many names and outfits, none of them his own. His hitman abilities leave as much to be desired as his inner soliloquies.
Hunter discusses his many problems with the movie, including its cinematography, poorly written and obnoxious voiceover, and lack of meaningful characterization.
