Review: Starfish (2018)

By  •  Movies
Starfish

Billed as a Sci-fi horror, you might expect a particular kind of film going into Starfish, but fairly soon into it, you realise it is so much more. This debut feature by director A.T. White is a difficult film to categorise, but in many ways this is its strength.

Cam

As the internet expands and becomes more and more integral to daily life, social constructs, identities, and career choices have evolved to be much more complex.  Daniel Goldhaber’s debut feature, Cam, co-written with Isa Mazzei, is a dark, supernatural, and technological twist on the idea of lost identity and agency, echoing Hitchcock and Lynch.

Injection #1 by Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey (Review)

By  •  Comics

When you add everything up, Injection #1 is worth your time and attention. Even where the work is inconsistent on the art side, it’s always interesting. Warren Ellis also brings everything to the table that you could ask of an Ellis book: it’s weird, it’s funny, it’s dense, and it’s going to leave you wanting more.

Nameless #1 by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham

image

Grant Morrison came into Nameless fully loaded. It’s got aliens, it’s got secret societies, it’s got that weird vaguely sexual thing going on, it’s got dream logic, it’s got something approaching drug logic — all the Grant Morrison trademarks are there, backed up by Chris Burnham doing the work of his career. But: does it all add up?
