Elle Evans (Joey King) is back, baby! So too is most of the colourful gang like best friend Lee (Joel Courtney), his belle Rachel (Meganne Young), and fan favourite background character Tuppen (Joshua Daniel Eady). The Kissing Booth is open business…again. I think it’s safe to say that in a couple of weeks Netflix will […]

British media is inherently fascinating to me, in that the Brits have been doing what will eventually become the future of prestige television for years.

“Beg your pardon. Forgot to knock.” The film began with Eric Serra’s moody synth take on a James Bond score. Composer John Altman came aboard for one sequence, listed on the soundtrack as A Pleasant Drive In St. Petersburg. This music plays more familiarly for the audience.

Every horror movie cliché in the book is unimaginatively trotted out in Lake of Death, a ponderingly straight-faced Norwegian production making its North American debut on Shudder.
