Dead Woman’s Hollow plays closer to a crap episode of Criminal Minds than it does a horror movie. Right down to the vaguely based on true events concept. 3/10
Adan had a decent idea for how to start its movie and seemingly, a specific way it wanted the film to end. And in between? Bad character work, lousy sex scenes and a plot that doesn’t so much gradually get more unhinged but rather does so in fits and starts. 3.7/10
While not bad as a film, this is a story I’ve seen multiple times done both better and more interesting. Gasoline is ultimately pretty forgettable if you’ve seen more than one queer crime film. 5.1/10
Wild Things: Diamonds in the Rough created an idealized, misogynistic world where the only women in it are hot. And then made the choice to hate all the women it just made up. 2/10
This feels like a muddled artistic vision that culminates in something that’s mostly dull and occasionally inexcusably offensive. 4.6/10
Love Lies Bleeding is an engaging, nasty and occasionally muddled crime picture. It’s a great addition to WLW movie canon because of how much it does that’s unique. 7.5/10
Compared to the other works of one or more Coen brother, this film would rank near the bottom. Luckily, a lesser Coen film is still a decent time. 6.2/10
Thick is not a perfect movie. But there’s a lot to celebrate about this low budget crime drama. Namely, the fact that it’s 71 minutes long. 5.7/10
The Great Swindle gets high marks for style. But as a film about cons and deceptions, it needs much more substance in addition to its style. 5.3/10
