New Release Review - "To A Land Unknown"
by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-02-19

Films tackling the experience of refugees in Europe have mostly been authored by filmmakers from the sort of European countries that attract refugees. In attempting to empathise with people whose experiences they could never really comprehend, such filmmakers tend to deliver well intentioned yet patronising portrayals of refugees as angelic figures victimised by various cruel and exploitative systems.

New Release Review - "The Dead Thing"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-02-15

The idea of falling in love with the undead has long been mined for cheap laughs in horror-comedies. With his directorial debut The Dead Thing, Elric Kane (known to movie geeks as a host of the Pure Cinema podcast) takes this idea and plays it straight, using the concept of being in love with a ghost/zombie for an exploration of earthly isolation in an era where we seem to be more connected than ever before, and yet there's never been so much loneliness.

New Release Review - "September 5"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-02-11

For a long time I mistakenly believed that when American news anchors in old footage promised the audience "film at 11," they were letting the viewers know a late movie was due to be broadcast. At some point in my teens I realised that of course it meant that the footage related to a news story had yet to be developed, but that it would be ready for screening by the next bulletin. Today we've become accustomed to seeing major events break on social media rather than on our TV screens, with cellphone footage of said incidents available within seconds while the mainstream media scrambles for permission to air such images; the idea of having to wait a couple of hours to see pictures of any newsworthy event is now unthinkable.
