HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER 2 Arrow Blu-ray Review
Arrow has once again outdone themselves with these two releases, and although it would have been nice to have more involvement from Ashley Laurence and Clive Barker, both Blu-rays are must-haves for the discerning horror fan who still loves physical media.

Fantastic Fest 2019: KOKO-DI KOKO-DA Review
With its threadbare plot, gobsmackingly frustrating characters, and dull time-loop mechanic, Koko-Di Koko-Da is a test of one’s patience more than it is a meditation on grief.

Settling comfortably into the familiar subject of a yakuza turf war, First Love sees eccentric director Miike delivering a standardized but darkly comedic action-crime odyssey.
