Reviews & Commentary by Adam Groves
ATLANTIS
Bleak is the word for this 2019 Russian made dystopian parable
TIERE
The logical successor to classic mindbenders like PROVIDENCE and MULHOLLAND DRIVE
PURPLE HAZE
A little known American independent feature from 1982 that stands as one of the screen’s better depictions of the late 1960s
CAROL FOR ANOTHER CHRISTMAS
A stellar holiday themed effort from the American TV archives, and one of the medium’s most brilliant and prolific contributors: Rod Serling
CHRISTMAS CRUELTY!
As of 2020 this no-budgeter is very likely the nastiest Christmas-themed horror movie ever made

What made the late novelist/screenwriter Richard Matheson great? A number of factors, I’d say
Joe Lansdale, Timothy Truman and JONAH HEX
Right now you likely know JONAH HEX as a very bad movie, and that’s a shame. What you should know HEX for are the three comic miniseries from Vertigo
A “Lost” Film Found
IN THE MIDST OF LIFE,a French made adaptation of three stories by Ambrose Bierce, is quite simply one of the great unknown masterpieces of world cinema
The Jack Martin Books
Movie novelizations are among the most thankless forms of writing that exist
R.I.P. Graham Joyce
In the case of the English fantasist Graham Joyce, who passed at the far too young age of 59, it’s a plain fact that he’s fully deserving of all the praise you can heap on him
