Film review — Candyman
I didn’t like this at first; the opening act feels slick and facile and all too typical of the ‘elevated horror’ trope. But there’s a point where it pulls together its frayed thematic threads and weaves something new from the fabric of its predecessor, with an interesting Faustian twist to boot. It does work better to accept a level of dream logic in operation here, mind you. More…

Film review — Flight/Risk
I’ve already seen Air Crash Investigation’s take on the 737 Max disasters, and this doesn’t add much to the table other than putting more names and faces on those who were sacrificed to the hubris of America’s industrial complex. The sentiment is impossible to fault so this can only be judged as a piece of work in itself, and it falls short for me in that respect. More…
