The Outwaters (2022) 75% EDIT “Despite its interminable runtime, the film demonstrates Banfitch’s surprising skill, not only as a writer, director, and actor but as the talent credited with The Outwaters’ visionary special effects and sound engineering.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Mar 15, 2023 Full Review No Sleep 'Til Christmas (2018) EDIT “The conceit of No Sleep 'Til Christmas is a stretch. That it actually manages to sell it is nothing short of a miracle.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Feb 11, 2023 Full Review Color Out of Space (2019) 86% EDIT “As a result, the film awkwardly oscillates between eco-horror parable and bizarre sci-fi spectacle, never settling on whether or not it wants to be super weird or scathingly subversive.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Jan 23, 2020 Full Review One Cut of the Dead (2017) 100% EDIT “Delightfully bonkers.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Dec 21, 2019 Full Review When Good Ghouls Go Bad (2001) EDIT “It's actually better than it has any right to be.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Oct 28, 2019 Full Review The Girl With All the Gifts (2016) 86% EDIT “While The Girl with All the Gifts is an original, thoughtful horror film filled with plenty of action, gore, and, surprisingly, heart, it's the science behind it that stuck with me after the credits rolled.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Oct 28, 2019 Full Review Rec (2007) 90% EDIT “With its quick pacing, brutal jump scares, and unpredictable ending, REC does an admirable job of modernizing the shambling ghouls introduced in George A. Romero's Living Dead series.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Oct 22, 2019 Full Review Cargo (2017) 88% EDIT “With that brilliant cinematography comes a harrowing story of a father's love in a lawless, unforgiving world.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Oct 15, 2019 Full Review Warm Bodies (2013) 81% EDIT “Warm Bodies takes an admirable risk with its material, but never fully commits to any of the tropes that make its chosen genres - that of horror and romantic comedy - so appealing, while also not striving to do something different and truly inventive.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Luz (2018) 88% EDIT “A pleasantly compelling and sufficiently gory bottle thriller with a supernatural twist.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Funan (2019) 93% EDIT “Defined by a clean, illustrative style and slow-burn storytelling...” – Pittsburgh City Paper Jul 3, 2019 Full Review Rust Creek (2018) 85% EDIT “But for all its female tenacity and curious potential pairing, Rust Creek proves far too formulaic to generate tension.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Jan 11, 2019 Full Review Love Strikes Twice (2017) EDIT “To call Second Chance Christmas problematic would be putting it very lightly. This is basically Gaslighting: The Movie.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Dec 26, 2018 Full Review A Cinderella Christmas (2016) EDIT “The film also demonstrates some refreshingly meta humor.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Dec 18, 2018 Full Review Last Holiday (2006) 56% EDIT “The main reason I find Last Holiday so charming, despite its corny concept and broad humor, is because I get to see good things happen to a good person.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Dec 11, 2018 Full Review A Very Nutty Christmas (2018) EDIT “Hart executive produced this movie, which means she was cool with all of this.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Kusama: Infinity (2018) 93% EDIT “As it should be with a film like this, the most fascinating aspect is the examination of Kusama's process, its evolution, and the psychology that drives it.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Nov 14, 2018 Full Review Good Manners (2017) 96% EDIT “While the film does have its weak spots, including some out-of-place CGI, they're worth ignoring, as Dutra and Rojas deliver a smart, sensitive film with just enough gore to keep it interesting.” – Pittsburgh City Paper Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Confession of Murder (2012) B EDIT “Despite its inner conflict, Confession of Murder weaves a suspenseful, compelling tale that saves its surprises until the very end.” – The Film Stage Jul 11, 2016 Full Review Stop the Pounding Heart (2013) 76% A- EDIT “Stop the Pounding Heart becomes a sensitive, lovingly crafted illustration of the relationship between culture, faith, and identity.” – The Film Stage Jun 27, 2016 Full Review The Family (2013) 28% D+ EDIT “Full of tone deaf humor and gratuitous violence, The Family marks a miscalculated step for an otherwise fine filmmaker.” – The Film Stage Jun 27, 2016 Full Review Year of the Living Dead (2013) 96% B- EDIT “Viewers will feel most rewarded by Kuhns' dissecting of Night's production, which provides a colorful and inspiring portrait of guerrilla filmmaking from a pre-digital era.” – The Film Stage Jun 22, 2016 Full Review The Wait (2013) 33% C+ EDIT “Visually, Blash does a excellent job portraying the character's quiet desperation, even if the symbolism sometimes verges on the obvious.” – The Film Stage Jun 21, 2016 Full Review Raze (2013) 45% C+ EDIT “With plots as flimsy as the one presented here, there's a tendency to favor spectacle over character development, and it's no surprise that Raze struggles to balance the two.” – The Film Stage Jun 21, 2016 Full Review Summer in February (2013) 32% D EDIT “The performances are but one eye roll-inducing aspect of a period drama so generic and formulaic that it verges on parody.” – The Film Stage Jun 21, 2016 Full Review
