There’s a fundamental disconnect in Kiyoshi Kurosawa‘s latest film, Before We Vanish, but it’s not occurring within the world of the film. The disconnect is between the film...
As a subgenre, it’s hard to find a possession/exorcism film that stands out. Veronica, by famed Spanish director Paco Plaza (one-half of the original REC team),...
