Kids are generally smarter than we give them credit for. For the most part, they're curious, open-minded, and understand the most fundamental truth about the world far better than adults do: that life simply makes more sense through the prism of dream logic. For every children's movie that gets this right, it feels like there are a half-dozen more that fatally underestimate their own intended audience. "Five Nights at Freddy's" can safely count itself among those in the former category, thankfully, and it weaponizes this strength to deliver the year's most charming and unabashedly kid-friendly horror flick just in time for spooky season.
Director Emma Tammi clearly recognizes the appeal of adapting a property with the unique sensibilities and labyrinthine lore dictated by this film's source material, a video game franchise that can only be generously described as "idiosyncratic." Still, the basics have been streamlined enough for even the most casual viewer to grasp.

Once upon a time, it's not inconceivable Steven Spielberg might have directed "Five Nights at Freddy's" or a film just like it. Recall that the young Spielberg loved terrorizing audiences. His first feature-length directorial effort, the made-for-tv 1971 thriller "Duel," was such an exhilarating blast that it eventually got a theatrical release. Then came his horror-adventure classic "Jaws," followed by the suburban nightmare of "Poltergeist". Hell, from a certain point of view, "Jurassic Park" is sort of like "Five Nights at Freddy's" only with dinosaurs. Sometimes when an entertainment attraction breaks down, the animatronics actually do eat the tourists.
"Five Nights at Freddy's" casts Josh Hutcherson as Mike Schmidt, an unassuming security guard who accepts a job keeping watch of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza at night, only to discover the animatronic mascots of the once-prosperous family entertainment center like to come alive and commit murder under the cover of darkness. The setting...

Ben Manalowitz, a journalist and podcaster, travels from New York City to West Texas to investigate the death of a girl he was hooking up with…
Who would’ve thought that The Office star B.J. Novak could make such a gripping, enthralling dark comedy thriller featuring one of the most surprising endings of the year? I certainly didn’t, but alas, here we are with his directorial debut Vengeance, which is absolutely fantastic. Just by watching a few minutes of this film, you’d think that Novak has been working as a director in the film industry for his whole life. Clearly, with Vengeance, he shows just how much natural talent he has in him and how excellent of a writer he is as well. There really aren’t many scenes...

Stars: Theo Germaine, Kevin Bacon, Quei Tann, Austin Crute, Monique Kim | Written and Directed by John Logan
Campers at an LGBTQ+ conversion camp endure unsettling psychological techniques while the campsite is stalked by a mysterious killer.
John Logan‘s They/Them is absolutely one of the weirdest slasher films in years. First thing’s first – why did this movie get dumped straight to streaming when it stars Kevin Bacon aka one of the most recognizable actors in the world? Number two, what’s up with that abysmally awful poster? And number three, why does this movie feel like it has no direction and why does it save everything interesting until the end?
Long story short, They/Them is a bad movie. It actually had an interesting setup which was why the first twenty minutes had me a little hooked. A group of queer kids attend Whistler Camp, run by a man named Owen Whistler.

From the private clubs and highrises of New York to the sweltering oil fields of West Texas, B.J. Novak’s “Vengeance,” in theaters July 29, dives into a fish-out-of-water story. “The Office” alum Novak, who also wrote and stars in the dark comedy, plays Ben, a writer for The New Yorker and wannabe podcaster who finds himself traveling to a remote Texas town.
Cinematographer Lyn Moncrief wanted audiences to understand the sudden shift in perspective Ben is experiencing. Early in the film, Ben is in New York trying to pitch his new podcast idea. “It’s a darkly lit scene,” Moncrief explains. It’s nighttime when he gets a call from Ty (Boyd Holbrook), the brother of Abilene (Lio Tipton), a former hookup who has died from an apparent overdose. Ben has been asked to come to the funeral, and on a whim, he does.

Cinematographer Lyn Moncrief and composer Jay Wadley helped director Emma Tammi deliver the psychological horror elements in Hulu’s “Into the Dark: Blood Moon,” the story of a young mother named Esme (Megalyn Echikunwoke), and her 7-year-old son, Luna (Yonas Kibreab), who have moved to a small town in the desert.
To her new neighbors, Esme seems to be a fiercely overprotective mother. What they don’t know is that she’s hiding a secret tied to the lunar cycle. The film is the March installment — and season finale — of the Blumhouse TV-produced “Into the Dark” anthology series, which aims to debut a horror film each month.
Moncrief, working with Tammi for the first time, noticed a common theme throughout her films, including “The Wind” and “Fair Chase”: The protagonists were trapped or limited in some way. One of the first discussions he had with the director was how...

Trying to protect the world from her young son's ferocious secret, a mother looks for a fresh start in a small town, only to find that the prying locals may make the next lunar cycle the deadliest one yet in Blood Moon, the second season finale of Blumhouse and Hulu's anthology horror series Into the Dark.
With Blood Moon premiering on Hulu beginning Friday, March 26th, we caught up with director Emma Tammi in a new Q&a feature to discuss the making of the heartfelt werewolf story, including reading Adam Mason's script during Covid-19 quarantine, collaborating with stars Megalyn Echikunwoke and Yonas Kibreab, and overcoming the obstacle of a broken camera on the final day of filming.

Evidently shot in 2016, but premiering on the festival circuit after the filmmakers’ more recent “The Wall of Mexico” (which debuted at SXSW a month earlier), “When I’m a Moth” is a pretentious and off-putting enterprise one can well imagine sat on the shelf for a while. It does have an intriguing hook, yet that hook turns out to be the most awkward and mystifying element here, since co-directors Zachary Cotler and Magdalena Zyzak have decided to make an obscurantist, heavily symbolic drama set in the Alaskan wilderness … with young Hillary Clinton plopped in the middle of it.
That’s not a joke — but oh, if only it were. There is, in fact, some smidgen of a real-world basis to the premise here: Clinton (then Rodham) has noted that right after graduating from college in 1969, she journeyed to Alaska with some friends, intending to work the summer at a cannery in Valdez.

The woman walks out of the cabin, the wind whipping all around her. Her white dress is bloodied. She’s carrying a baby, which isn’t making a sound; the two men staring at her are equally silent. (We eventually hear a howl of pain coming from offscreen.) Later, we see her standing over a grave … only there isn’t an infant in the coffin, but an adult female. The men finish burying her, then they saddle up the horses and leave for what may be a days-long trip. She’s left standing there,...

The doorway shot in John Ford’s “The Searchers” is one of the most influential cinematic frames of all time. But it’s not often we really parse the meaning of that iconic image, or seek to understand the way it has shaped our understanding of the western as an outdoorsy, masculine genre. Emma Tammi’s feature debut, a clever if low-boil horror-western, provokes such ruminations by being, essentially, a reverse of that shot: Instead of our eye following John Wayne walking off into a bright rectangle of scrubby land framed by the dark silhouette of a cabin doorway, “The Wind” imagines a Wild West where the man walks off into darkness and we stay inside the brightly lit cabin, where the women are.
That’s not to suggest there’s anything cozily domestic about Tammi’s vision of the feminine West. In fact, in “The Wind,” the agoraphobic lonesomeness...

Part of the official selection for Toronto International Film Festival, Taiwan Golden Horse Film Festival and Shanghai International Film Festival, Rooth Tang’s first feature length film ‘Sway’ is an intelligent look at how globalisation has made the world so small, yet it can still feel so vast.
“Sway” will be available to iTunes, Google Play, Amazon on 9/1/2018, courtesy of Cheng Cheng Films
The film begins in an airport, which is really the precursor to the inter continental journey we will embark on throughout the 108 minute runtime. We follow three different couples living very different lives on three different continents. Parisian immigrant Arthur’s visa is due to expire so he is trying to convince his career-focused partner Vivian to come back to Asia with him. American Amanda is dealing with the difficulties of marrying into a Japanese family to a widower, who is still carrying his demons with him.

*full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by Breaking Glass Pictures.
Director: Rania Ajami.
Writers: Rania Ajami and Jake Pilikian.
The Asylum Seekers is a surreal comedy from director Rania Ajami. This is her first feature and this title is an offbeat look at the possibilities of insanity. Breaking Glass Pictures will release this title on DVD August 30th and Asylum Seekers is a high recommend, based on the interesting atmosphere created by Ajami and cinematographer Lyn Moncrief. Almost every scene is highly saturated, but it is the characters and the message which stand out the most.
There are six supposed lunatics moving into the local asylum. However, there is only one bed available. So the "evangelical nihilist," the "trophy mouse wife," the "gender bender refuge," and many more characters must battle it out to prove that they are more insane than the next. If this sounds strange,...
