‘The Influencer Project’ Review: Found Footage Terror Takes a Tepid Danish Holiday (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Copenhagen is to die for in Mike Nybroe’s decently crafted if over-familiar debut feature, in which Brit influencer Chiara King (playing herself) gets menaced by one very hostile, fictitious non-fan. An opening text announcing “This film is influenced by real events” provides the first and last moment of inspiration in “The Influencer Project,” whether the joke is deliberate or not. Mike Nybroe’s debut feature is far from the first horror movie to posit practitioners of the titular digital-age p
‘The Fix’ Film Review: Ex-CIA Operatives Try To Rescue an Iranian Dissident in a Polished but Uneven Action Thriller (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Guy Moshe’s film hews a convoluted path from Kabul to Tehran, embroiling Zachary Levi, Liam Neeson and others in a muddled mix of gung-ho heroics and contrived intrigue. Having been shot well before the current U.S.-Iran conflict commenced lends “The Fix” a somewhat anachronistic air, albeit one that sits comfortably enough between its other fuzzy points of political messaging. This U.S. production from Israeli writer-director Guy Moshe sets a group of former CIA Special Ops agents, led by Zacha
‘The Runner’ Review: Gal Gadot Is a Mother on a Rescue Mission in an Energetic but Uninspired Amazon Thriller (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In director Kevin Macdonald’s flashy if over-familiar Prime Original, Gadot tours London at an athletic pace, in pursuit of her imperiled child. A frantic journey across London on foot provides a lot of exercise for Gal Gadot, but not much reward for viewers, in “The Runner.” Hardly the first thriller centering on an exceptionally action-ready parent surmounting various obstacles to rescue an imperiled child from some diabolical abductor, and surely not the last, this Prime Original has energy —
‘Soulm8te’ Review: Fembot Goes Rogue in Polished but Predictable Tech Thriller (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This third entry in the “M3GAN” franchise offers a standalone tale of another android run amok, to ends more sexed-up if no more imaginative than its predecessors. Billed as a spun-off third entry in the “M3GAN” franchise, “Soulm8te” is to “Fatal Attraction” as M3GAN’s vehicles were to “Orphan” and “The Bad Seed” — a robotic replay of very familiar genre tropes. Here, a grieving widower working in tech agrees to try out a prototype of the titular “AI companion,” basically a beauteous virtual ass
‘Black Zombie’ Review: An Engaging Doc on How the Flesh-Eating Hordes of Screen Fame Obscured Painful Real-Life History (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Maya Annik Bedward’s documentary looks at nearly a century of zombie cinema through the lens of cultural appropriation, as a gross distortion of the Haitian culture and beliefs that first inspired it. In Hollywood’s original horror heyday of the 1930s and ’40s, it would have been hard to imagine another figure challenging the classic terror quartet of Dracula, Frankenstein monster, werewolf and mummy — let alone that the lowly zombie would ever become serious competition. Yet while those aforeme
