Make Believe Film Festival: The Five Devils

Written by Taylor Baker “Léa Mysius’s “The Five Devils” is a noteworthy sophomore film, not just in its accomplished delivery of craft but its effortlessness at capturing the story of a young girl time-traveling while a family and small community seem splinter apart.”

Waco

Written by Jeff Sparks “Horrifying images of mothers and their children suffocating leave a lasting feeling of hopelessness long after the episode ends, but maybe that’s the point that directors Dowdie and Gordon are going for. No matter your stance…”

A Little White Lie

Written by Alexander Reams “My biggest issue with “A Little White Lie” is its laziness, its apathy towards any plot that is driven and fleshed out, the apathy of even a great performer in Michael Shannon, and the lack of anything new being said.”

The Last of Us

Written by Anna Harrison “Why the hell did you even adapt this for television in the first place if you’re just going to keep things the same, right down to the camera angles and cuts? What do you need this new medium for if you aren’t going to change a single damn thing?”

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre

Written by Alexander Reams “When the words “troubled production” are spoken, it’s like a hex, a promise that a film will be bad because the making of it was rough. Guy Ritchie’s latest action fare was originally supposed to be released almost 15 months ago on…”

65

Written by Maria Athayde “Unfortunately, not even he can save “65,” a movie with a premise that looked good on paper but was not actualized on screen. The plot is simple, Adam Driver is Mills, a pilot from the planet…”

All the World is Sleeping

Written by Jeff Sparks “While they’re on different sides of the spectrum, the thing they have in common is that they both know that addiction isn’t a battle, but a war. How will Chama and…”

The Evil Dead

Written by Alexander Reams ““The Evil Dead” has held a death grip on the horror genre for over 40 years and its easy to see why, Raimi’s masterful control of comedic timing and dread, violence that uses practical effects, Bruce Campbell’s deranged performance driving…”

Scream VI

Written by Alexander Reams “In a surprising turn, “Scream VI” proves the franchise is not only alive, but it also has a pulse ready to pump out more sequels, and if they continue to be as strong as this one, I’ll be…”

Daisy Jones & the Six

Written by Maria Athayde “Riley Keough who plays the titular Daisy Jones feels like she was made for this role, able to strike the right balance between being enigmatic, vulnerable, and ferocious as a singer-songwriter who was emotionally neglected as a child and wanted to make it big in the…”

Scream 4

Written by Nick McCann “With Kevin Williamson returning as screenwriter and Wes Craven directing one last time, they continue to show progression in concepts and sensibilities. Whether calling out the remake epidemic, bashing torture porn movies, or bringing up how…”
