Save the Date: THE INVITATION Arrives on March 25 {0}
Save the date: Drafthouse Films has confirmed March 25 as the theatrical and VOD release date for Jennifer’s Body director Karyn Kusama’s The Invitation, a psychological thriller set at a dinner party thrown by Eden (Tammy Blanchard) and her new husband David (Michiel Huisman), to which Eden’s ex-husband Will (Logan Marshall-Green) is surprised to be invited. Unfolding over one dark evening in the Hollywood Hills, The Invitation blurs layers of mounting paranoia, mystery, and horror until both Will — and the audience — are unsure whether the dread Will feels is real or imagined.

Review: FRANKENSTEIN (2015) {0}
The post-modern Prometheus
Classic literary works like Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein will stand up to all kinds of interpretation. James Whale’s 1931 film classic went wildly off-book to define cinema’s long relationship with the text, and the past few years alone have seen adaptations both faithful (Danny Boyle’s stage version, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller alternating roles) and freestyle (I, Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful’s heady stew, Paul McGuigan’s Victor Frankenstein); even Ex Machina could be seen as an AI-themed retelling of the Frankenstein story. Now Bernard Rose adds to the crowded canon with a modern variation, in which married research scientists Victor (Danny Huston) and Marie (Carrie-Ann Moss, seen recently in Jessica Jones) genetically engineer a human being using something like a 3D printer.

Review: JUNE (2015) {0}
Keep Calm and Carrie On
“What would have happened if Carrie was an orphan?” asked no one ever –except the DVD sleeve for June (which is not, alas, a sequel to Lucky McKee’s May), just released in the UK.
