Thoughts, Movies

I wish I had a time machine, so I could go back and slap this DVD from my hands. I know that would cause a temporal anomaly and probably destroy the universe, but honestly it’d be worth it.

Terry Mesnard

Nov 5 [THS 2018 Review] Anna and the Apocalypse

Terry Mesnard
Movies, THS2018, Most Popular, Fav2018, Pop2018, Festival

It’s a zombie movie. A Christmas movie. A comedy. A musical. And it’s something magical.

Nov 3 [THS 2018 Review] Tigers Are Not Afraid

Terry Mesnard
THS2018, Movies, Editor's Picks, Fav2018, Festival

Tigers Are Not Afraid is an intense examination of an under-discussed consequence of the gang war violence in Mexico. It’s a fierce and staggering film that demands to be seen.

Nov 2 Welcome to Mercy

Terry Mesnard
Movies

A demonic possession that focuses on the victim, instead of the male priest performing the exorcism, Welcome to Mercy is an interesting take on a tired genre.

Oct 26 [THS 2018 Review] The Dark

Terry Mesnard
Movies, THS2018, Fav2018, Festival

The Dark is a very fitting (if kind of plain) title for a movie about a kidnapped and traumatized boy and a undead girl who find each other when they need it the most.

[THS 2018 Review] Cam
Oct 25

Oct 25 [THS 2018 Review] Cam

Terry Mesnard
THS2018, Movies, Editor's Picks, Pop2018, Festival

Cam is an unsettling, sex-positive thriller about a doppelganger that takes over the livelihood of a camgirl on the rise.
