‘The Blazing World’ Review (Sundance)
“The Blazing World” joins the hand-drawn counterculture fantasia of “Cryptozoo” and the nuclear-blasted dystopian rescue mission “Prisoners of the Ghostland” as a strong contender for the most WTF experience to be had at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.
‘Anything for Jackson’ Review
What the highly effective “Anything for Jackson” proves is that, for all his time in Christmasmovieland, Justin Dyck clearly found time to remain versed in the language of modern horror. This is a small-scale tale of Satanic suspense that finds success in how self-aware it is. Two committed lead performances anchor the movie, and the range they’re asked to cover (and cover it they do) is wonderfully summed up with this line: “We have to keep up appearances.”
