Movie Review – THE MAN IN THE WHITE VAN
There is an interesting fine line between true-crime/thrillers and horror. At the core of true crime is horror; the idea that someone can stalk you, hunt you, kill you, and in many cases make you disappear is utterly terrifying. Our fascination with those stories, and the people that peretrate them is because we wonder what it takes to make someone into that sort of monster. These tales allow us to also face the idea that the world isn't as safe we as often hope it is in a way that still feels like we are in control.

Movie Review – THE DROWNED
THE DROWNED combines horror and thriller elements but struggles with a muddled plot and familiar tropes. It starts with a man on the run and unfolds around a crime, leaving viewers questioning key aspects. Despite strong visuals and acting, it feels incomplete and lacks engagement, leading to a disappointing experience. Rating: 2 out of 5.
Movie Review – ROW
There is something both amazing and horrifying about the human animal, and that is its relentless drive to push itself further and further. Perhaps it’s a way to evolve as a species, or perhaps it’s just a sort of existential boredom. Maybe it’s a little of both. There are always people who are willing to… Continue reading Movie Review – ROW
BLOOD STAR – movie review
The “law gone bad” subgenre is not a new one. I’d wager it’s tied to the distrust we have of authority figures and abuse of power. Any time we are put at the mercy of someone with power and a weapon it tends to make us a bit jumpy. In recent years the authority, specifically… Continue reading BLOOD STAR – movie review
RESTORE POINT – review
Thrillers are a darn fun genre, but not one is easy to crack. The ‘90s were filled with them after SE7EN and SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and there is always the occasional movie that breaks through and gets everyone’s attention on the genre again and we go through the cycle again. Serial killer thrillers have… Continue reading RESTORE POINT – review
The Bottomless Dark – 8MM and HARDCORE movie reviews
Some of the fun of being a movie fan is making your own pairings that make sense for thematic reasons, or the same actors are in them, or same director, or whatever else you can think works. For me, I paired the films 8MM and HARDCORE and am shocked at how well they work together… Continue reading The Bottomless Dark – 8MM and HARDCORE movie reviews

Another Big Thing
I have officially completed the first draft of the next book, a dark thriller. This was not an intentional thing but once I got writing it just sorta kept doing its thing. I began it just under a month ago and, first draft finished, I have a book just under traditional novel length. We'll see… Continue reading Another Big Thing
The Hide – movie review
The Hide – review The thriller is a tricky genre. You see, in many ways it is a horror film but it’s just that the horror is based wholly in the real, wholly in the concrete. There is a sense of dread but not fear, but there is also a distinct sense of mystery because… Continue reading The Hide – movie review

i-Crime Oh dear, oh dear. Sometimes you just watch a movie and wonder if the people who made it knew what it was they were making. Ya wonder if anyone ever had a moment during filming where they realized, geez, I think we’re missing our target. You know, like if you were making a… Continue reading i-Crime – Movie review
