#TADFF Quick Thoughts: SISU: ROAD TO REVENGE is like Mad Max: Fury Road if it had gory Looney Tunes level mayhem and Stephen Lang with a bad Russian accent.

#TADFF Quick Thought: THIS IS NOT A TEST is a zombie survival film filled with a lot of teen angst and depression.

#Frankenstein is very much Guillermo del Toro’s interpretation of Mary Shelley’s novel, with possibly the most sympathetic depiction of The Creature.

#TADFF Quick Thoughts: PRIMATE is essentially a feature length version of the “Gordy” subplot of NOPE, essentially turning a rabid chimp film into an extremely brutal slasher film. PETA will have field day with this one.

Sean Patrick Kelly @skonmovies.ca · 3d

#BlackPhone2 is a satisfactory continuation, with some truly disturbing violent movements, though it also feels like Ethan Hawke gets less to do this time around.

#Deathstalker has great practical creature effects and removes the more problematic (rapey) elements of the original 1983 film, though the narrative is somewhat on the formulaic side.

#TronAres is a standalone sequel, very briefly referencing the events of Tron: Legacy, which doesn’t have much new to bring to the table apart from the great Nine Inch Nails score (though I’m sure Jared Leto’s titular character would’ve preferred Depeche Mode)

#Anemone shows that Daniel Day-Lewis still holds a commanding screen presence, even if this drama about guilt and regret drags on over its two-hour running time.

Sean Patrick Kelly @skonmovies.ca · 22d

#TheBaltimorons is a very charming and Before Trilogy-esque Christmas Eve romance and a welcome return from mumblecore pioneer Jay Duplass (directing without Mark).

Sean Patrick Kelly @skonmovies.ca · 23d

#JimmyandStiggs is a very splattery and glow in the dark mash-up of alien invasion film and Evil Dead.
