Fantastic Fest 2018 Review – Lords of Chaos
Starring: Rory Culkin, Emory Cohen, Jack Kilmer Directed by: Jonas Akerlund (“Horsemen”) Written by: Dennis Magnusson (“King of Devil’s Island”) and Jonas Akerlund (debut) For metal fans across the world, the stories about Norwegian black metal culture are infamous.

The Predator
“A self-referential sequel that goes for laughs, but ends up with few surprises and far too many characters.”
Blaze
“Would make a wonderful double feature with Joel and Ethan Coen’s 2013 drama ‘Inside Llewyn Davis.'”
Searching
“A gripping mystery that features a handful of clever plot twists and an underlying feeling of dread.”
Puzzle
“Macdonald’s performance is intimate and subtle. Khan, once again, is a master of monologue.”
McQueen
“At its best when McQueen and the clothes themselves are front and center.”
BlacKkKlansman
“Seems to know when to jab and when to let the disturbing narrative speak for itself.”
Christopher Robin
“If anything is impossible, it’s not being enchanted by the film’s many adorable qualities.”
Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot
“Doesn’t allow its main character to make meaningful relationships.”
Eighth Grade
“Like the best that director John Hughes offered in the 1980s, ‘Eighth Grade’ will span generations.”
Boundaries
“There’s not much room for anything else to breathe with Farmiga’s exaggeratedly neurotic character.”
Sorry to Bother You
“Never loses its identity as a bat-shit ridiculous concept that doesn’t take itself the least bit seriously.”
