Featured, Festival, Headline, new horror, Reviews / Jazzmin Crawley

I had the opportunity to check out films from the Unnamed Footage Festival, which highlights found footage movies. While it’s a divisive subgenre, I love to watch found footage flicks! They are perfect to watch at 11:00 PM on a laptop in the dark with noise-cancelling headphones. That is exactly how I watched Frogman Returns

Send Help Review // Getting Your Lick Back, Severely

Featured, new horror, Reviews / Jazzmin Crawley

I got a chance to check out Sam Raimi’s new flick, Send Help, on the big screen, and I had way more fun than I thought I would. The film follows a woman’s journey, and choices, after she is stranded on an island with her overbearing boss. I hadn’t seen any trailers. The only thing

The Gates Review // If You Ain’t From My Hood

Featured, Headline, new horror, Reviews / Jazzmin Crawley

I had the opportunity to see The Gates ahead of its March 13th release date with a mostly Black audience: It was a wild time! The only thing I knew about the film was Mason Gooding and his friends were in the wrong neighborhood. Seeing three Black men in enemy territory, meant the movie could

Night Patrol Review // It’s Complicated

Featured, Headline, new horror, Reviews / Jazzmin Crawley

Night Patrol feels like someone took Colors (1988), Baller Blockin’ (2000), and 30 Days of Night (2007) and put them in a blender. The mix is unbalanced and chaotic, but entertaining nonetheless. Night Patrol reminds me of movies like Dead Heist (2007) and Bloodz vs. Wolvez (2006) in the best and worst ways. I love

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Review // Give Nia DaCosta Her Flowers

Featured, Headline, Reviews / Jazzmin Crawley

If you were on the fence about the 28 Years Later trilogy, this new installment might win you over! 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple feels more like 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later with more action, tension, and violence, while maintaining the GORGEOUS cinematography from 28 Years Later. The first movie in the

Him Review // This Isn’t A Game

Featured, new horror, Reviews / Jazzmin Crawley

I have been waiting for this film for over a year, and I managed to slip into a screening without a glimpse of the trailer. I saw a poster, Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, and Monkeypaw Productions; that was enough for me. So I wasn’t sure what to expect. I have not seen many sports-horror films,
