Blood Paradise (2018)

Who knew running away from killer perverts a lot would be so funny

[8/10 · 7 June 2019]

I didn't, but here we are. Blood Paradise is a hilariously dark horror drama that makes effective comedy out of the ordinary and mundane. Cringe humor to an extent, fused with a bit of good old fashion mean-spiritedness.

Nepenthes (2018)

A relationship you'll want to leaf alone

[10/10 · 17 August 2018]

Nepenthes is shot well, performed well, and - in my humble opinion - does so much better at what M. Night Shyamalan partly set out to do with The Happening (while similarly making room for biting social commentary). It really is an impressive feat, and I definitely wouldn't mind seeing the concept fleshed out and stretched to something that runs a little longer. Certainly what's there is fantastic, my gushing should indicate that, but if Bad Cookie Pictures ever attempts to dive into more ambitious endeavors, I have no doubt the end result will be something truly special.
