This week is a big one for two reasons: Two films that are destined for many "Best of 2017" lists have just been released on VOD, and Gruesome Magazine has announced a new review format with short audio reviews.
I first saw the indie vampire horror drama The Transfiguration at South Korea's Jeonju International Film Festival in May and really loved its unique approach to vampire cinema. It is now available on VOD and well worth seeking out. Here's my When It Was Cool review: http://www.whenitwascool.com/the-transfiguration-review.
One of the most unique, fun films of 2017 is the sweet, humorous Dave Made a Maze (pictured above). This quirky comedy with a huge heart is filled with loving homages to horror, fantasy, and adventure films and has some of the most intriguing set designs in recent memory. Here's my Scream review: http://www.screamhorrormag.com/dave-made-maze-film-review-popcorn-frights-2017/.
Always seeking to be on the cutting edge, Gruesome Magazine has launched a new audio review format. Feedback has been great so far. It's a cool way to hear about new releases to help decide whether certain films are for you. My first entries include my takes on Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead's incredible The Endless and the outstanding dramatic thriller Super Dark Times, both of which just played at Popcorn Frights Film Festival in Miami.
