American Mary
American Mary is the story of a medical student named Mary who is growing increasingly broke and disenchanted with medical school and the established doctors she once idolized.

Sadako 3D
Sadako waits, a vicious spirit, hungry for blood and souls. What began as a haunted videotape, passed from hand to cursed hand all those years ago in THE RING, has only gotten easier to find.

V/H/S/2 (S-VHS)
Inside a darkened house looms a column of TVs littered with VHS tapes, a pagan shrine to forgotten analog gods. The screens crackle and pop endlessly with monochrome vistas of static—white noise permeating the brain and fogging concentration. But you must fight the urge to relax: this is no mere movie night. Those obsolete spools... Read More Read MoreNo Official Score Available

[B-D Review] ‘Repo Man’ Speaks to a Whole Generation of Punk Rockers
Reviewed by Mike Ferraro There have been films released every few years that truly capture the attention of the outsiders of society. A film that strikes a familiar cord with a viewer who otherwise couldn’t connect with anything else the mainstream was selling them, whether it was a record, a book, or even a film....

[B-D Review] ‘The Town That Dreaded Sundown’ is a Hugely Entertaining, Atmospheric Thriller
Reviewed by Patrick Cooper The Town That Dreaded Sundown is a hugely entertaining atmospheric thriller saved from the bowels of obscurity by Scream Factory. It plays out more like a police procedural than a horror film (like Zodiac), with moments of terror and misplaced comedy peppered throughout. The film becomes even more interesting when you...

[BD Review] ‘Naked Lunch’ HAS to be Experienced
Reviewed by Patrick Cooper Sitting down to write a review of the Criterion Collection’s Naked Lunch Blu-ray, I thought about how I’d probably get nothing done if my laptop had a pulsating sphincter. The film, loosely based on the infamous drug-soaked book by William S. Burroughs, may be David Cronenberg’s most unusual and least accessible... Read More Read MoreOfficial score:

[BD Review] ‘Aftershock’ Is Fun… Until It Isn’t
Aftershock is a weird movie in the sense that I honestly don’t know how I feel about it. There’s a lot to like in the film, but I can’t recommend it as a complete work. It has a lot of great components, but it seems oddly intent on sabotaging itself with elements that just don’t... Read More Read MoreOfficial score:

[BD Review] ‘Fresh Meat’ Overstuffs Its Narrative But Still Satisfies
Fresh Meat could have been a disaster. Hell, in some ways it is a disaster. But the film pulls off a minor miracle by achieving a sustainable sense of fun throughout its runtime. While the narrative often gets caught up in its own repetitious cycle and bogged down by first-draft one liners (those clunky exchanges... Read More Read MoreOfficial score:
