Analyzed Film Review: The Open House11/25/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  If you're wondering, the fact that he wears glasses is a purely to set up the fact that he's blind without them. (Image Courtesy of: vocal.media) Quick Take: The Open House wants to be deep and creepy, but it is just bland and overbearingly cruel. It is poorly written, blandly acted, and lifeless, only worse with each minute it passes.
2019 Film Review: In the Shadow of the Moon11/21/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  This movie wants you to know literally nothing about it from its poster beyond its dramatic angst. (Image Courtesy of: heavenofhorror.com) Quick Take: In the Shadow of the Moon may be inconsistent in its excitement, but it is truly consistent in its time-bending story. Boyd Holbrook carries the experience as the story moves forward, revealing more layers along the way.
2020 Film Review: Palm Springs11/15/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  If I was going to get stuck in a time loop, it better not be in Palm Springs. I need endless snow not endless desert. (Image Courtesy of: hulu.com) Quick Take: Palm Springs makes the most of its Groundhog Day-style premise, carrying its empathy on its sleeve while constantly funny throughout. The movie is better than it has any right to be in the absolute best ways.
Analyzed Film Review: The Guest11/4/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  No matter what this poster makes you think this movie is about, you're wrong. (Image Courtesy of: collider.com) Quick Take: The Guest twists and turns with a story that shifts focus on genres so deftly that it never feels as jarring as it should. Dark, dramatic, and engaging, it is an action thriller like few others.
Analyzed Film Review: Hush (2016)11/1/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  I swear Kate Siegel is in everything Mike Flanagan has made. You'd think they had some kind relationship between them, he and his wife. (Image Courtesy of: eclecticpop.com) Quick Take: Hush (2016) has the unique focus of putting the audience in the perspective of the deaf protagonist, though it may occasionally not go far enough with it. It is a dark, frightening home-invasion horror that uses its limited setting well.
