Film Review - "Insidious: Out Of The Further"


It makes sense that James Wan would latch onto Kane Parsons, recently serving as producer on Parsons' film adaptation of his cult web series Backrooms. Long before horror fans became obsessed with liminal spaces, Wan was exploring just such an idea through his Insidious franchise. The series features its own liminal realm, known as "The Further," a sort of demonic buffer zone between this world and the next. Practically every entry in the series climaxes with someone entering The Further to defeat some form of evil, but it never really took advantage of the eeriness of liminal spaces.

Indie Mystery-Thriller Your Lips Never Left Mine opens the New Jersey Film Festival!


There is an unsettling feeling throughout Your Lips Never Left Mine that makes almost everything happening onscreen feel questionable. Written and directed by Matthew Kozlark, the indie mystery-thriller follows Lara, played by Cassandra Due, a young woman who takes a job tutoring Connor, played by Theodore Dalton, the son of a wealthy finance couple at their secluded summer lake house. What begins as a seemingly normal summer job quickly becomes more complicated as Lara realizes there is much more to this family than they are willing to reveal. The film slowly uncovers pieces of their past, creating a mystery filled with unexpected twists that keep the audience questioning who can actually be trusted.
