Writer-director Derek Nguyen's supernatural thriller settles confidently in a place between classy and trashy. Read full review

Feb 22, 2018

The film, bearing no small debt to Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca, inevitably has a familiar feel. But director-screenwriter Nguyen infuses it with enough fresh elements to make it fully entertaining. Read full review
