Where the Heck’s My Grubhub?
Countdown Review
I can’t tell you how many times I have sat in a theater, viewing trailer after trailer, shouting out, “oh, that is gonna be good!” Sometimes I am right, but sometimes I am totally and utterly wrong. On the other hand, there are times when I completely dismiss a film based on a preview that looks downright awful, only to be surprised by the actual full-length film. That is exactly what happened with Justin Dec’s Countdown. The Plot After downloading an app that is counting down the days left on her life, a young nurse must figure out a way … Read More

Brainscan Review
EvildeadInks back again with another blast from the past and, yes, the mid 90’s are further back than some of us want to believe.

His girlfriend has left him and he can’t seem to get ahead in any aspect of his life. He stumbles across a self-help app that actually seems to be working. It gives him tiny missions that each take … Read More

Open Windows Review
There seems to be a neat little trend catching on in the horror scene over the last year or so. It may even be considered a new sub-genre all together. I’ve seen some refer to it as ‘tech horror,’ but I like to refer to it as cyber horror, myself. Whatever you call it, films like The Den or segments from the V/H/S/ franchise are utilizing the growing trends of social media and digital technology to make for some pretty rad horror flicks. Another great film to add to this list of tech thrillers is Nacho Vigalondo’s Open Windows. Nick … Read More
