Review

This 96-minute film is not that scary or gripping, but it sure is entertaining, and it gives a much different look to the horror genre.

The simplicity and coziness makes the film feel like an intimate play on stage so every viewer can focus only on the actors in front of them, their smallest of gestures, and their sneakily verbal mixtures of deceit and honesty.

Hollywood is currently terrified to make a mainstream blockbuster not connected to familiar intellectual property, so “The End of Oak Street” does deserve some credit here being a new idea.

So much potential is wasted in this film, I found myself asking, “What kind of film is this trying to be?”

This feeling of moving through a game keeps "Exit 8" an engaging, uniquely alluring film experience.

I liked "The Odyssey," but it likely won’t be on my list of best films of the year.

The humorous qualities are so rich in this I spent half the film laughing and the other half holding my breath from surprise.

It’s just a bummer this film doesn’t make more of a deep impression as a whole. Isn’t that what good artistic expression should do?

The Lyric Repertory Company opened their third show, "Come From Away," last month. The musical tells the story of displaced travelers during the 9/11 attacks.

At only one hour and 28 minutes, it's an incredibly succinct piece of horror film-making, and I highly recommend it to everyone.
