Maximilian Erlenwein's sophomore feature is a successful mix of straightforward suspense and gallows humor.

Film Review: ‘Out of the Dark’
A horror opus just as generic and forgettable as its title.
Film Review: ‘The Search for Weng Weng’
The search for a long-neglected novelty Filipino movie star is a winding, digressive road that eventually leads to the door of Imelda Marcos herself.
Film Review: ‘Across the Sea’
Low-key first feature for Esra Saydam and Nisan Dag — like their heroine, U.S.-based Turkish expats — is ultimately rewarding in its climactic confrontations and attractive packaging.
Film Review: ‘Young Bodies Heal Quickly’
An initially arresting road trip for some off-the-wall characters that takes its sweet time going nowhere in particular.
Film Review: ‘Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau’
The creation of the third official screen "Moreau" was beset by disasters even more bizarre than the delirious mess of a feature released in 1996.
Film Review: ‘Heartworn Highways Revisited’
A 40-years-later sequel of sorts, Wayne Price's docu finds a fresh crop of singer-songwriters outside the industry mainstream in Nashville.
Film Review: ‘Night of the Rat’
Director David R.L.'s debut feature is neat exercise in extracting maximum value from minimal funds, a single location and (for the most part) just one actor.
Film Review: ‘Sins of a Father’
A new framing device only muddles further what was already--as "Shuttlecock" in 1991--a polished but convoluted, emotionally remote misfire.
Film Review: ‘I Am a Knife With Legs’
Anyone would have to admire the singularity of vision required to steer such a willfully silly project over a long, long haul.
