From the completely random consortium of villains and bosses to fight scenes that are at times literally shot backward, a lot is going wrong.

Weaving an unsavory tale about isolation, bullying, and familial dysfunction, Slapface looms like an uncomfortable truth that is too desolate in tone.

The lead performance almost shipwrecks Last Survivors, but director Drew Mylrea (Spy Interventions) is in complete control of his vision. Silverstone and Moyer feel extremely welcome outside their normal roles and should leave audiences wanting more indie genre fare from the duo. The twist alone should keep audiences watching because Last Survivors has got one that isn't worth missing out on.

Conventional choices are thrown out the window and the audience is left with a delightful adventure worth revisiting time and time again.

Not dissimilar from the real world, the scariest part of Student Body is patriarchy and gaslighting, not getting hit in the head with a sledgehammer by the school's mascot.

The Changed is a poorly-executed alien invasion riff-off, bereft of any sci-fi elements worth delving into or relatable characters worth rooting for.

All told, Rescued by Ruby is perhaps not the most revolutionary dog movie audiences are likely to find, but it will certainly do the trick if one is looking for something sweet and inspiring. With little real drama and plenty of adorable puppy shots, Shea's film goes down easy.

Moon Manor is an absolute triumph, one which celebrates life and embraces death while touching upon the bittersweetness of everything that occurs in between.

As it stands, Mundy's earnest but by-the-numbers approach to already lackluster material leaves the movie devoid of any sign of passion or creative spark.

Despite its flaws, it encourages a re-examination of Apartheid South Africa and a closer look at the tiny sparks that lit the flame known as the Free Nelson Mandela campaign and the overall cultural shift against Apartheid.

There is a very entertaining movie somewhere in The Ravine, but it seems to have been left on the editing room floor.

The film is a basic thriller with little to offer audiences who enjoy the genre.

Tankhouse might not be for everyone with its outlandish humor, but if viewers are willing to invest in the absurdity, then it's worth watching. Tomaschoff has clearly created this movie out of respect for anyone who has loved spending time in the theater, and with a game cast ready to shoulder the material, it becomes something very sweet underneath all the quirk.

Deep in the Forest certainly has a point of view, but it is ultimately a meandering slog.

There's nothing worse in horror than predictability and while Unhuman tries to throw some curveballs, it misses the mark more than it hits its target.

While some aspects might feel slight, Tahara is an engrossing coming-of-age tale bolstered by its distinctive visual style and well-matched leads.

There's something comforting about the way in which My Fake Boyfriend doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. It's content living in its charming version of New York where everything works out in the end.

This low-budget sci-fi film is actually doing something quite clever, but by keeping it hidden until the final minutes, it leaves viewers with a character drama that just isn't compelling enough to merit revisiting, even after learning how all its pieces fit together.

Fully engaging with the film, as one might be forced to do in a theatrical setting, will prove unrewarding — both intellectually and emotionally. But it's the kind of movie that's perfect for streaming while doing chores, or to turn on after a long day of work with the intention of putting one's brain on standby.

The film is unsure if wants to be a portrait of a man on the verge, a slasher, or a psychological chamber piece, and it ultimately fails to live up to any of these ideas.

Still, by choosing to play with the conventions of paranormal investigation TV shows and grounding the story in character, the film finds a way to make what it's working with both tense and fun, even if a couple missteps chip away at what is an otherwise effective finale.

Whitebloom struggles to bring the excitement into his heist film, Stowaway, his feature debut, like he’s done in past music videos.

There are some things that Into the Deep does well, but it is ultimately too slight to really commit to any of its interesting ideas. By the time the violence between the three characters ends, one just wishes their conflict had included a bit more flair.

It never digs deep enough which, when looked at through the fairy tale lens, is appropriate, but ultimately seems like a missed opportunity for the film.

Wire Room is a crooked cop action drama that plays out like a low-budget, straight-to-VHS schlock from decades past

Though The Alternate could've been better served by a deeper exploration of its themes and characters, it offers a unique take on a familiar idea.

Sadly, Dig has little to offer audiences other than its magnificent soundtrack.

That familiar question of “am I a good person?” will linger with viewers just as it does the characters, making it a fascinating watching experience as much as it is a good time.
