With Longlegs, director Osgood Perkins burst onto the scene. It may have been his fourth movie, but it represented a stark evolution of his style into something more technically precise, more tonally playful, while still staring into the darkness. That shift, combined with Neon’s brilliant marketing and audience hunger for Maika Monroe’s return to horror, […]

Pluribus – We Is Us and Pirate Lady Review
Well, that’s a heck of a start to the show, no? From spending the pilot letting us get a feel for just who Carol was, laying out just how the Joining came to be, and exploring a bit of how this new world order has impacted half of our surviving “humans” in very different ways, […]
