Night After Night –

Writer-director Josh Lobo makes an ambitious return with Night After Night, his first feature since 2019’s I Trapped the Devil. The film is unsettling, visually inventive, and unapologetically strange. It is also intentionally difficult to untangle, demanding that viewers surrender to its nightmarish experience rather than expect a neatly explained narrative. Scott Poythress and Johnny… Continue reading Night After Night –

THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD Removes All of The Fun of Robin Hood, and Suffers In The Process

Writer/director Michael Sarnoski takes the lore of Robin Hood and deconstructs it in such a way that it robs all of the fun out of the Robin Hood legend. When it comes to Robin Hood, I think of swashbuckling action and excitement, but The Death of Robin Hood takes a vastly different approach to its… Continue reading THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD Removes All of The Fun of Robin Hood, and Suffers In The Process
