Welcome to Fistful of Features, a weekly column that celebrates film preservation through physical media and discusses cinematic treasures from every genre to maintain their relevance in the cultural lexicon. There are many great labels that are doing incredible work to keep all sorts of films significant through luxurious treatment

Director Ben Wheatley brings his unique type of horror film to the screen with In The Earth. This is definitely not a film for everyone, especially now with the Pandemic still lingering. It is amazing to think that this was filmed after the Pandemic. Add the virus storyline, and you

Crime shows. How can you not love them? After all, they’ve got everything that makes a good drama: hope and heartbreak; intrigue and suspense, a dash of violence, and a thrill and chill or two. You’ve got heroes and villains, all contending on that storied stage, the courtroom. There, the

With an overabundance of content being released on a weekly basis, it’s hard to know what to watch these days. Netflix might seem like the obvious choice for many, with hits such as Bird Box, Bright, and The Old Guard, but other distributors such as Gravitas Ventures and IFC Films

The desolation of the universe in which the film takes place and the raw emotions of a love story is what captivated me about The Wanting Mare. I was intrigued by the fantasy concept of the film but was blown away by the story and the characters. The story will

I first became familiar with the unearthly cinematic joy of Sion Sono when I encountered the brilliance of his gonzo gangster musical Tokyo Tribe at Fantastic Fest back in 2014. That led me down the road to discovering his magnum opus Love Exposure and I have been visiting his altar

Sundance’s Short Films category is very crowded. So many wonderful films that evoke every form of emotion in such a short amount of time. I thoroughly enjoyed each of the shorts in this section, but am going to focus my reviews on the following films. White Wedding, The Affected, Raspberry,

I can’t say I was very familiar with the musical anomaly known as Sparks before my viewing of Edgar Wright’s infectious documentary and I’ll be damned if this experience didn’t convert me into their cult of disciples. I can only imagine the unique encounters that brought their diverse legion of

As an assault of “video nasty” bits hurls at the screen amongst the opening credits I anticipated a fun ride through v/h/s soaked nostalgic sleaze and I was not wrong. Much like how Berberian Sound Studio paid homage to the Italian Giallo of the seventies without becoming a distraction, this

The first time I saw Promising Young Woman, I spent the last maybe 15 minutes outright sobbing—not from sadness or grief, but because I’ve never felt such catharsis from a film. Perhaps in the future, I will write a more in-depth piece on the ending specifically, but for now, I

The submissions for this year’s Oscar for Best International Feature Film are a smorgasbord of genres, topics, and styles, but there is a notable dearth of LGBTQ+ content. Although Agnieszka Holland’s Czech drama Charlatan, Stéphanie Chuat and  Véronique Reymond’s Swiss selection My Little Sister, and Filippo Meneghetti’s French romance Two of Us

Steven Kostanski quasi been carving a name for himself since breaking solo from the Astron 6 directing collective and making the Lovecraft inspired The Void and the above-average Leprechaun reboot Leprechaun Returns. With Psycho Goreman he pays tribute to high concept Saturday morning cartoons from the eighties as well as

I am so excited about this news. Not because I am hopeful that Phil Nobile will admit that Iced Pop-Tarts are the best. Jokes aside, if the quality of the magazine will match up to Fangoria, then Fangoria Studios will kick all kinds of ass. Keep reading to check out

Listen in as Jim reviews Hunted, a gruesome new take on Red Riding Hood. Gruesome is the only word I have been able to think about since watching Hunted. Hunted is an original film from Shudder. This past year has been amazing for Shudder Originals. My wife is not a
