A fun, campy slasher flick that stands out from the crowd.
“Sound of Metal”
Benefits from a credible sincerity (and jaw-dropping sound design) that gives a realistic and poignant look at deaf culture in America.
“Ashens and the Polybius Heist”
A movie that’s aimed squarely at the Comic-Con set and is made by geeks, for geeks, and starring geeks.
“Fatman”
This strange, dark, and violent holiday fantasy isn’t satirical enough to work.
“#Alive”
This fast-paced Korean thriller proves there are still fresh stories to tell when it comes to the walking dead.
“I’ve Got Issues”
A quirky movie that ranges from brilliant satire to irritating film school symbolism, with a central theme of “life’s a bitch and then you die.”
