Our coverage of the movies we saw at the Austin Film Festival keeps moving along! This time I’m talking about Operation Taco Gary’s. Written and directed by Michael Kvamme, this comedy is a throwback to comedies of the early 2000s, even going so far as to cast Jason Biggs of American Pie fame. The two…
The Beldham opens with a title card, informing us of the meaning of its title: “Beldham” (alternatively spelled “beldam”)—an old woman; a witch. It immediately clues us in to what kind of monster we may be dealing with in this indie horror gem. Directed by Angela Gulner in her feature debut, the movie follows Harper…
From the moment I read the synopsis of this short film while I was at the Austin Film Festival, I knew I had to see it. Written and directed by Emily Everhard, the synopsis for Special Delivery reads: “A Foley artist for pornography falls in love with a porn star during an ADR session.” For…
Adriana and I had the pleasure of attending the Austin Film Festival this year! We were joined by some friends for a few days of movies, panels, hot weather, and good times. We’re going to kick off our coverage of the Austin Film Festival with Bird, another film distributed by Mubi that we got the…

My First Film is one of the most unique films I have seen in a while. From what I understand, the movie is at least partially autobiographical, based on events from the life of writer and director Zia Anger. It’s also incredibly meta. The movie stars Odessa Young as Vita, a young director recounting her…
The Alien franchise is returning to theatres across the world with Alien: Romulus, the latest from writer/director Fede Álvarez. I’ve enjoyed some of Álvarez’s previous movies, including the remake of Evil Dead (2013) and Don’t Breathe (2016). The cast of this film includes Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, and Archie Renaux, among others. The Alien franchise…
When it comes to creating horror, films often look outside our natural world to make audiences feel uncomfortable. Whether it’s ghosts or aliens, using the unknown can be an incredibly effective way to get some reliable scares. Out Come the Wolves, the latest film from Canadian director Adam MacDonald, recognizes the horror that exists in…
If you haven’t been checking in with us lately, we’ve been covering the 28th Fantasia Film Festival here in Montreal! The festival ran from July 18th until August 4th, 2024 and included everything from screenings to workshops to book launches. Overall, there were more than 125 features and 200 shorts shown throughout the festival. In…
Well, it looks like Fantasia saved the best for last! We closed out the festival this year with Oddity, a new horror movie from writer-director Damian McCarthy (Caveat) that I’m hoping blows up as much as Longlegs did. It’s deserving of all the hype Longlegs had and then some. I haven’t felt this much palpable…
