Film review by: Witney Seibold

 

            I usually don’t try to second-guess films. If I can see a plot twist or a surprise ending coming, I’ll still allow the film to tell it to me in its own idiom; it’s not the surprise itself that will necessarily grab me, but the skill with which it is given. I always know that Othello with die at the end of the play, but a good production will make me think he won’t once again.

            While a careful review about the film’s pacing, tone, themes, and performances is more appropriate to an author of my standing (or pretentiousness, take your pick), all I really need to say to get you to decide whether or not you want to see “Dead Snow” is the following two-word phrase:

 

            Zombie Nazis.

Film review by: Witney Seibold

 

            Every character in Jennifer Lynch’s “Surveillance” is a bundle of hissing, seething, violent nerves. They all badger one another, spit vitriol in each other faces, snap at one another in sweaty, bestial fury. That a few of them are criminals and perhaps even killers comes naturally in a universe like this.
