Blood for Dracula (1974) 68% “Conveying at once a great menace and vulnerability, Kier was born for this moment, and he leans in to Drac’s juicy fervor with glee” – Washington City Paper Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Death by Hanging (1968) 86% “One braces the emotions for what must inevitably be a laborious two-hour ordeal. Would you believe the movie is absolutely hilarious? ” – Washington City Paper Mar 20, 2025 Full Review The Shrimp on the Barbie (1990) “There is no pearl in this oyster, which should be flung to the depths of the sea, never to see daylight again. ” – Spectrum Culture Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Universal Language (2024) 96% “Rankin has created a distinct and fantastic low-budget world.” – Washington City Paper Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Hello, Love, Again (2024) 65/100 “Within these commercial trappings, the film depicts a genuine, relatable humanity. ” – Spectrum Culture Dec 4, 2024 Full Review Absolution (2024) 55% 59/100 “The returns on this once consistently satisfying second act are diminishing.” – Spectrum Culture Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Traffic Jam (1991) “Mitsuo Kurotsuchi fuels his absurdist comedy-drama (accent on the latter) with a profound melancholy that rises above its occasional descent into the barnyard.” – Spectrum Culture Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Assault on the Pay Train (1962) “The most striking element [is] the appalling conditions in Rio’s favelas, where the film captures barefoot children happily playing in little more than mud.” – Washington City Paper Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Basements (1987) “Does not do any justice to its source material, careening from simply misguided to bloody awful.” – Spectrum Culture Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Victims of Sin (1950) 100% “How can a movie be both so brutal and so musical? ” – Washington City Paper Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Odd Man Out (1947) 100% “When it starts snowing in the final act, it feels like a much darker parallel to It’s a Wonderful Life.” – Washington City Paper Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Across the Bridge (1957) “Steiger finds humanity in what could have been a ridiculous role, and he finds a formidable co-lead in Dolores—his victim’s dog, whom Carl spends most of the movie trying to shoo away.” – Washington City Paper Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Zero Focus (1961) “The film’s structure is a little too complex, the mystery revealed in a series of alternating flashbacks. But what maintains the film’s sense of dread is the bleak wintry landscape.” – Washington City Paper Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Armored Car Robbery (1950) “If the structure is standard procedural, the character actors bring it all to sardonic seedy life.” – Washington City Paper Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Daaaaaali! (2023) 95% 70/100 “Thankfully, Daaaaaali! isn’t another Dali biopic — it’s another Quentin Dupieux, and even when his influences are on his cinematic sleeve, nobody else really makes movies like him.” – Spectrum Culture Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Double Suicide (1969) 100% “Like much of the Japanese cinema of the late ’60s, this creepy, sexy thriller fuses traditional forms with the kind of modern sensibility frequently telegraphed by Toru Takemitsu, who composed the score.” – Washington City Paper Sep 24, 2024 Full Review This Gun for Hire (1942) 94% “A vehicle for Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd as a surprisingly modern couple...” – Washington City Paper Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Le Samouraï (1967) 92% “A samurai-like twist on the typical contract killer. The film, of course, also serves a generous dash of 1960s alienation...” – Washington City Paper Sep 24, 2024 Full Review The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) 84% “Tobe Hopper's 1974 chestnut is one of the standard bearers of low-budget horror, and remarkably, it hasn't lost an iota of its chill factor in the half century since its release.” – Washington City Paper Sep 24, 2024 Full Review How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies (2024) 98% 80/100 “a thoroughly sobering journey, filled with bitterness and heartbreak.” – Spectrum Culture Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Red Rooms (2023) 96% 65/100 “What seems to be a straightforward serial killer drama shifts slowly into a meta-commentary on the spectacle of crime and, broadly, the perils of the very online. But despite strong performances, the film doesn’t bring its fascinating themes home. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Out Come the Wolves (2024) 63% 78/100 “This efficient three-hander keeps you interested in the fate of three characters whose true nature seems elusive—until they face themselves in the woods. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Consumed (2024) 31% 65/100 “This couples camping horror succeeds on the levels most crucial to its existence: psychological tension and body trauma metaphor.” – Spectrum Culture Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Girl You Know It's True (2023) 85% 50/100 “Girl, you know it’s a lie; if only it were a lie told with more flair.” – Spectrum Culture Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Dark Feathers: Dance of the Geisha (2024) 40/100 “Despite the distinct, original vision, Huang’s charges are unable to execute this bold premise—with a few notable exceptions.” – Spectrum Culture Aug 8, 2024 Full Review
