The Theta Girl (2017) [Sci Fi, Action, Horror]

Director: Christopher Bickel

Last Friday evening, a friend sent this text, “Going to see this tonight at a Burlesque Club called Le Chat Noir. Right up your alley.” with the link to the trailer  I knew she was right before it was halfway through and I needed to watch this movie!

Head Count (2018) [teenagers are horrible]

Director: Elle Callahan

Writers: Elle Callahan (story), Michael Nader

Better than average teen, supernatural slasher that sacrifices jump-scares and violent kills for a slowly building sense of unease that catapults into an alright finale. The story is interesting and even though there is no heavy lifting to be done, the young performers are up to the task.
