Today, I interview Michael Sarnoski, the director of the new horror movie A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE. This is the prequel to the A QUIET PLACE franchise where humanity has adapted to live as silently as possible to survive an alien invasion. You make a noise, you get eaten. But what if you don't know that? What if it's the first day the aliens land on …

Mike Cheslik's HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS feels like a small miracle: an homage to Looney Tunes silliness shot in black & white without dialogue. The beavers hunted by bumbling drunken applejack-turned-fur trapper Jean Kayak (Ryland Brickson Cole Tews) are all represented by Disney World-style costumes (yep, big heads and cartoon faces). Hell, every anima…

As an addendum to last episode, I interviewed Andy Brown and Brian Lindstrom, the directors of LOST ANGEL: THE GENIUS OF JUDEE SILL, about the decade-long process of bringing their music documentary to life. They chat about the x-factor moment that brought the movie's structure to light, the responsibilities felt from telling the underrated & under…

LOST ANGEL: THE GENIUS OF JUDEE SILL is a documentary detailing the life and music of '70s singer-songwriter Judee Sill using as much of her own voice as possible. This could devolve into another talking-heads affair but having Judee's voice narrate and her art take animated flight on screen gives the movie an authenticity and more intimate connect…

MONKEY MAN is the directorial debut of Dev Patel. My best friend asked 'Wasn't that the guy who played Zuko in that bad Avatar movie?" Yes. Yes, he was. He's also built a strong genre-spanning body of work since then, starring in THE GREEN KNIGHT, HOTEL MUMBAI, THE MAN WHO KNEW INFINITY, THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD and LION, for which…

IMMACULATE was rescued by producer and star Sydney Sweeney from development hell, 10 years after she originally auditioned for the project. A horror movie about a nun who immaculately conceives a child the rest of the church believes to be the second coming of Christ? I can say why Sweeney would wanna hang onto that idea. However, as cool as that i…

Rose Glass' romantic body-horror noir LOVE LIES BLEEDING smacked me in the mouth and I'm all the better for it. What a taut, lean story about the way the beliefs about ourselves & our capabilities can fundamentally inform the directions our lives will take, for better and worse. Sometimes, all you need to change your life is someone to stroll into …

The Internet lit ablaze, yet again, today when the directors of the new horror movie LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL confirmed Letterboxd users' suspicions that the movie used AI to help craft some still images featured in the final cut. The blaze was fueled by debates over AI's involvement in art and the implications such technologies could have on an i…

The Rachel McAdams Picture Show keeps on truckin' with Kelly Fremon Craig's ARE YOU THERE, GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET.

Sean Durkin's THE IRON CLAW got me to a place I've never been. Afterwards, I found myself crying in the movie theater bathroom. Of course, I'd already cried a handful of times in the theater, but this affected me on multiple layers, the ones I find myself hurting over in private. I'm the oldest of three brothers, growing further apart with time and…

70 years into the Godzilla franchise, it seems improbable the best installment, of which there are 38, would end up being the newest, but stranger things have happened.
