NIMBY bites off more than it can chew. But I respect the attempt. This film is listed as a comedy and there are some jokes. But the subject matter is too dark and too prescient to be particularly funny. 5.3/10

The Last Conception is not wholly predictable. Parts of it are pretty dang out there. So, it’s got that going for it. But it’s also a pretty uneven film. 5.5/10
I’m deeply biased against dramedies. As with so many films in this genre, I feel like trying to thread the needle of being both drama and comedy ended up with a movie neither as funny or as dramatic as it had the potential to be. 5.6/10
In a mere 80 minutes, My First Summer features good directing and some lead teenagers who actually have unique experiences and personality traits. 7.2/10
The Aerialist is a weaker follow-up to the first film, The Gymnast. And I thought The Gymnast was just okay. 5.2/10
Monstrous isn’t terrible. It’s competent, but fails to bring real scares. There’s also not enough Yeti representation. 4.3/10
Carmilla is the rare film I wish were longer. I did not want to leave the story and world this film created. 7.6/10
I love a slow-burn horror movie. Dead Earth is slow, but there’s no burn. 2.5/10
Gunpowder Heart is a heavy, depressing sit. As it should be. Camila Urrutia successfully channelled her rage, sadness and desire for change into her art. 7.5/10
While slow and subtle until the third act, Clementine holds itself together with beautiful visuals. 5.7/10
