The Dirty Hands Man In depth Critique
The Dirty Hands Man by Christian & Jason Bareford Since horror is one of my personal favorite genres in film, it is always exciting when I have to review one. I eagerly set the right mood and disconnect myself from the outside world in order to delve into the experience in hopes that I wouldn’t […]
Blight Review
Blight by Maryam Chekoofi After watching this film all I could ponder about was the darkness that humanity holds and how cruel and inhuman can “humans” be, this goes to show how perfectly knitted is this work and how writer/director “Maryam Chekoofi” was able to deliver an extremely powerful message that sheds light on child […]

Cities in the Air by Andrei “Wolf” Constantinescu and Mihai Constantinescu Reading the title of the film, made me wonder what kind of journey was I embarking on (hoping that it would be worth the watch), to my amazement it was definitely not what I expected; from its opening scene I felt that this isn’t […]
