Saw creator Leigh Whannell keeps his 2014 festival run on a roll with The Mule, a new thriller about a first time drug mule who is caught by law enforcement.

“The Mule isn’t a horror movie,” explains Evan Dickson in his review, “But it’s perfect for readers of Bloody-Disgusting.

With The Mule‘s stomach churning moments, I guarantee you’ll get your daily kicks
