Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4

Film Review – Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)

February 18th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The appeal of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) – and part of the reason it has had such a lasting legacy – was in how it embraced its luridness. With its grainy film stock, shocking violence, and guerilla-style approach, the film’s sole purpose was to disturb…

Clean 4

Film Review – Clean

January 30th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The title of Clean (2021) operates on several different levels. Not only is it the name of our lead character (played by Adrien Brody), but it acts as the central metaphor of his entire existence. “Clean” has lived a life of violence and tragedy – spending his days…

Film Review – The Fallout

January 28th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The Fallout (2022) begins with a horrific event. School shootings have risen at an alarming rate in this country, to the point that districts must implement training programs to help kids in case an attack happens. This would have been unfathomable when I was in high…
