Night Warning (1981)

Domino (2019)

“Fettered by production woes though he may've been, it's good to be reminded, during passages like this, how valuable it is to have an old-guard, unretired die hard like De Palma still around.” –

Paranoid Park (2007)
76%
“Too brief and good-looking to actively dislike, Paranoid Park is still uninspiringly repetitive. If you're going to play the same riff over and over again, at least lower it an octave.” –
