Jul 4, 2012Possible Time Machine
Quirky indie film about a possibly deluded man who advertises for a time travel companion. The actuality of the time travel element is kept ambiguous and this plays out as a relationship drama that overflows with charm and freshness

Aug 9, 2015Married Couple Encounter Mysterious Doppelgangers
Going by the title you could easily dismiss this as an indie relationship drama (as I initially did) but what we instead get is a fascinatingly cryptic doppelganger film where a couple go on a retreat only to encounter idealised versions of themselves who seem intent on stealing their lives

Aug 30, 2017Stephen King Adaptation/Sinister Grandmother
Liberal adaptation of a Stephen King short story about a boy who realises that his infirm grandmother is a witch who made a deal with a backwoods entity. A low expectation effort that gets in some creepy effect and builds up Shirley Knight's presence with fearful regard (*)

Feb 28, 2015Experiments in the Resurrection of the Dead
The experiment to bring someone back from the dead has been trod many times before – think something that falls somewhere between Flatliners and Pet Semetary – and this only rehashes it in tired and unimaginative ways
