There isn’t the distraction of career-establi...

Those shocks are used so sparingly, their impact is ...

This divergence is a welcome addition to the usual kiddie fare.   //   This does cause things to go slightly awry in its accessibility to the very young.

It shares that establishment’s isolated island location but flips the script and introduces a real sense of peril to its diners.   //   The film’s structure as it resolves works on so many levels. As social commentary, it is wickedly assertive and the comments on the anonymity that many expect from ...
