I can’t recall the last time a movie’s marketing campaign was as on point as that of Jeremy Saulnier’s hugely-anticipated Green Room. Believe the hype; this flick is incredible. And the posters, trailers and everything else you’ve seen and heard expertly capture its tense atmosphere, punk-rock stylings and gory. utterly unpredictable trajectory. As horror fans, we so often find ourselves disappointed by new releases because nothing ever seems to live [...]

Movies can be great teaching tools. Most of my generation was raised on TV—which, now that I think about it, probably means that watching the OJ trial is how we developed our collective distrust of the legal system. Not every picture can teach great lessons, of course, but horror has proven surprisingly good at it. The genre has always had a fairly strong moral center, believe it or not. It’s not surprising, really, considering that the [...]

Ben Wheatley’s track record is near-perfect. Of the Brit director’s four previous films, two (Kill List, A Field In England) are modern masterpieces while the others (Down Terrace, Sightseers) are a considerable cut above the rest–genre or otherwise. And now comes High-Rise, Wheatley’s first adaptation, and the first blip in an otherwise peerless filmography (hell, even his ABCs Of Death segment was good). He isn’t entirely to blame for failing [...]
