A series of exhausted, trite, strained relationship, addiction, and reconnection tropes that are screaming with conventionality.

“Arcadian”
An average post apocalyptic survival story / horror creature feature that is enjoyable, but leaves little impact.
“Preconceived”
A shocking, infuriating documentary that should get every supporter of women’s rights fired up to turn out and vote this November.
“Late Night With the Devil”
A refreshingly original, spine-chilling possession horror thriller that bleeds with a Seventies cinematic flavor.
“Natatorium”
The obtuse nature of the storytelling is frustrating, but there’s enough thematically interesting about this psychological thriller to earn it a mild recommendation.
“Monkey Man”
Topped off with its stylish, gritty atmosphere and high-energy action, this is the type of film that will get you energized about the genre.
