I caught Monolith at this year’s SXSW (2023). A disgraced journalist uses her podcast to uncover the truth behind an alien conspiracy. The movie feels as if it has thoughts about privilege, lies, and possibly even extraterrestrials. It’s a beautifully shot feature that serves as a showcase for Lily Sullivan (who is about to win …
I was excited about The Angry Black Girl And Her Monster when I saw it was playing at SXSW. As a former Black girl and someone aspiring to become an older Black woman, I am very interested in media where we get to be angry. Many of us are usually denied our rage and/or learn …

Swarm was one of the most highly anticipated titles at this year’s SXSW. People who watched Atlanta know Donald Glover‘s sense of humor is dark. It also swerves into the horror lane regularly.

Harbor Island follows a joke writer living in a van as he encounters ominous strangers at night. However, while all eyes are on him, no one laughs at his jokes, and there is a feeling that something unnatural is afoot. It attempts to blend comedy, mystery, and sci-fi within its tight 17-minute run-time. Love it …
I love anthologies, and I love the energy of James Ward Byrkit’s Coherence. So when I heard this filmmaker was entering the chat with a series, I knew it was going to be a moment. Shatter Belt has the DNA of its predecessors (The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, etc.) but is so uniquely its …

Christa Boarini is always at a film festival somewhere. This worked out for me because I met her at a festival where she had two movies. I had just seen The Old Ways, which she produced, and was fangirling at her as we were being seated for the short she directed, Brackish. Since then, whenever …

If you are on the internet, odds are you have been part of the Cocaine Bear frenzy. Whatever you thought about the idea of a movie centered on a bear who does cocaine, it was hard not to get swept away by the pure absurdity of it all. When we started getting updates about the …

Nay Bever (pronounced beaver) was the first person I reached out to when Nightmare on 5th St greenlit this series. While I’m obsessed with all of my favs, I don’t understand doing a thing if Nay isn’t going to be there. I would’ve understood if everyone else had withheld their list until proof that Nay …
