Whether you compare it to its source material or not (or the zanier second film, for that matter), Slumber Party Massacre 2021 is a clunky film whose awkward attempts at humor struggle to land. Recensie
If anything in this film is going to get a crowd going, it’s Tjanjanto’s work. It is a cyberpunk body horror masterclass. Recensie
Through its first two acts, Housebound is a rather effective mood piece. There isn’t anything particularly flashy about its design or aesthetic, but the increasing tension among its characters held my attention. Recensie
Cannon Arm and the Arcade Quest is a feel-good doc with a lot of heart. Recensie
The film’s parts complement its whole, with the editing, shot choices, and soundtrack contributing to the light tone. It is a well-shot film with plenty of effective gags. The main issue is that the script loses steam (and some of its charms) through its final act. Recensie
I was bored, I’ll admit it, and while I watched I struggled to find a more sound opinion than that. Recensie
Glasshouse ponders this situation while keeping the tension high. And while the film ends pretty much exactly in the place you would not want it to, it is still compelling for its quiet thrills and complex character dynamics. Recensie
Glenn Chan’s film is a strange balance of the supernatural and gritty realism, and I don’t think that it works. Recensie
The script does its best trying to capture this story with nuance and to go beyond mere shock and discomfort, but it struggles at crucial moments. Recensie
Joint is a compelling film despite its use of one of the oldest cliches in the crime genre. To see a fresh take on the formula of an ex-con wanting out of the crime game is a welcome surprise. And the density of the plot welcomes repeat viewings. Recensie
Sinkhole is an entertaining and humorous disaster film. Recensie
Either are acceptable on their own, but they are somewhat redundant together, effectively slowing the pacing down as a result. Recensie
A Leg struggles to transcend its offbeat premise and deliver on the emotional story it is aiming for. Recensie
Hotel Poseidon is weirdness for its own sake, eluding tangible meaning with its closed off cast of characters. Sometimes this formula can work. I don’t think Poseidon makes it across that tightrope. Recensie
Not Quite Dead Yet is a charming film with its fair share of indelible humor. But it is also a bit too cutesy for my blood. Recensie
Some may take issue with the tone of Agnes, but I found it the most fascinating part. There are genuinely funny moments in this, but there is also a serious undercurrent regarding the complicated connections (spiritual and otherwise) which challenge us. Recensie
There might not be enough here to fill a nearly two-hour runtime, but there are short bursts here and there which are compelling. Recensie
At the same time, Brain Freeze meanders more than it thrills. Recensie
Credit where credit is due, though, the film looks great. The cinematography from Matt Henley captures the different phases of this nightmare trip with a keen eye. Recensie
As the truth starts to unravel, though, the film struggles to maintain this intrigue. The vagaries in the plot are not always readily explained—there are a handful of characters whose addition to the plot are either confusing or overly convenient. Recensie
I don’t think We’re All Going to the World’s Fair nails everything it is going for, but it is an effectively unsettling mood piece with a number of transfixing moments... Recensie
The film trudges toward its resolution with faux triumph, as if the script has accomplished something profound, when in execution what it has presented is barely explicable. Recensie
Technology, since at least the advent of the printing press but likely further back still, has shrunk the world while maintaining the vastness of geographical divide—it has made use feel closer, but intangibly so. If this notion fascinates you on a fundamental level, this hour-long doc may sing for you. I found it slightly lacking. Recensie
The script’s sound sense of humor and the dynamic cast of characters are more engaging than a deterministic time travel story. Recensie
