One Night, No Promises: Alterlove and the Myth of Modern Romance

June 15, 2026

So yeah, the Before Sunrise comparisons? They’re doing a lot of the heavy lifting, getting you in the door. And fair enough, because Alterlove is absolutely chasing that same lightning-in-a-bottle, walk-and-talk, maybe-this-means-something energy.

"The most important questions are the unanswered ones." Take a moment to let that sink in. Then forget everything you think you know about horror cinema and press play on Dariuss.

Data Not Drama Finds Heart Inside the Algorithm

Review

For someone whose entire life exists online, Jenessa Miller spends much of Data Not Drama profoundly alone. Writer-director David Ramer's intimate sci-fi drama follows the influencer behind the wildly successful "Data Not Drama" brand, a woman who has built a career sharing herself with millions while carefully withholding the parts that matter most. What begins as a clever satire of content culture gradually evolves into something far more affecting: a story about loneliness, vulnerability, companionship, and the universal desire to be understood.

Isabel Hagen Strikes a Perfect Note in On a String

Review

There are funny movies, and then there are movies that catch you so completely off guard that you find yourself laughing harder than you have in months. On a String belongs firmly in that second category. Written, directed by, and starring Isabel Hagen, the Tribeca Best Screenplay winner follows a Juilliard-trained violist attempting to navigate New York's classical music scene while still living at home and trying to figure out what adulthood is supposed to look like.

The Legend of Van Dorn A Civil War Drama That Finds the Man Behind the Myth

Review

Historical dramas often succeed or fail based on whether they can make familiar events feel fresh. The Legend of Van Dorn, directed by Shane Stanley, takes a different route by focusing on a fascinating Civil War figure who remains largely unknown outside history circles. The result is an engaging period drama that blends military strategy, romance, ambition, and tragedy into a story that feels both intimate and consequential.

The Benefactress: The Dirtiest Mirror in the Room

Review

I'll be honest: The Benefactress is not the kind of film I would normally gravitate toward. Had director Guerrilla Metropolitana not personally reached out and asked for an honest, open-minded opinion, it's likely this would have remained outside my radar. After watching it, however, I found myself unable to dismiss it.

Big Baby: Spider One and Krsy Fox Continue Their Horror Evolution

There are interviews you look forward to, and then there are interviews that feel surreal. Sitting down with Spider One and Krsy Fox to discuss Big Baby was firmly in the latter category for me. Long before Spider One was building horror films through OneFox Productions, he was fronting Powerman 5000.

Malcolm Kelner Is the Face of Obsession, Whether the Rest of the Cast Likes It or Not

Every great film has that one performance audiences can't stop talking about. For Obsession, the viral thriller from director Curry Barker, that performance belongs, unquestionably, to Malcolm Kelner's bartender. What began as a brief appearance in the film's opening moments has somehow evolved into one of the internet's favorite running jokes, spawning memes, fan theories, social media discourse, and a level of celebrity that Kelner has embraced with remarkable confidence.

Chasing More Than Storms: Ken Cole and Reed Timmer Find the Heart Behind Never Stop Chasing

There are few people more synonymous with storm chasing than Reed Timmer. For decades, audiences have watched him barrel toward some of nature's most violent phenomena in pursuit of science, understanding, and, admittedly, a little adrenaline. But Never Stop Chasing isn't simply another film about tornadoes.

Nat Boltt Brings Heart, Humor, and Humanity to Holy Days

There are filmmakers who make movies because they love storytelling, and then there are filmmakers who seem genuinely in love with the medium itself. After speaking with Nat Boltt about her feature directorial debut, Holy Days, it quickly became clear that she falls into the latter category. Known to many audiences as the unforgettable Penelope Blossom from Riverdale and for her work in films like District 9, Boltt has spent decades in front of the camera.

Aging Legend, Wild Stories: James Faulkner Looks Back on Zulu Dawn

Sometimes you go into an interview with a plan. You’ve got your notes, your bullet points, your angles about the new 4K restoration of Zulu Dawn. And then sometimes you get James Faulkner on the line and you just… let him go. That’s exactly what happened here.
