Film Reviews

Sometimes knowing and expecting what a film is, makes it a tad more enjoyable, and hence The Jurassic Games, a campy B-movie, the filmmakers know it too, and never excels past that standpoint, yet strives to entertain. While it hints clearly from other sci-fi flicks, Wedlock (1991) which starred Rutger Hauer or Fortress (1992) from director…

First, don’t expect this film to match the level of Andy Muschietti’s It movie, besides the are different realms of financial backing, this movie, from writer and director Aaron Mirtes serves as his debut feature film, and leans clearly to low-budget horror while generating a few scares. This doesn’t mean Aaron is without merit, he’s…
