  • ParaNorman (2012)
    Review preview for ParaNorman

    Overall the characters fail to transcend their archetypes, despite Kodi Smit-McPhee anchoring the film with real emotion.

    David Graham · 3 out of 5

  • Soul Survivors (2001)
    Review preview for Soul Survivors

    Empathy with a victim is the key to scaring the living daylights out of an audience. Carpenter fails to do this, because his heroine spends the entire movie as confused as everyone else.

    Weird, ghostly things happen to Melissa Sagemiller after her boyfriend is killed in a car crash.

    The film is confused about what it is trying to be - is it a high octane thriller, a gritty police drama or a tragedy? It certainly isn't all three.

  • The World To Come (2020)
    Review preview for The World To Come

    Overall, the story is a familiar one, with a predictably, one could even say, cliched tragic sweep - a well-trodden pioneer trail that while watchable for the fine performances, still feels overly stuck in a rut.

    Amber Wilkinson · 3 out of 5
