Review: JIGSAW

by Patrick Bromley
Jigsaw is no worse than even the most average of Saw movies. Unfortunately, it isn't any better, either.

Satan Prefers Blondes: Minimalism in The Blackcoat's Daughter

by Cass Cannon
At the center of much demonic lore sits the prize sheep of purity; she is young and blonde, usually early in puberty but on the brink of her first sexual encounter, and traditionally attractive. In fact, she is perfect; irresistible, even. This obsession with the canonization and demonization of young women is as old as lore itself. We watch this archetypical young woman get torn up, consumed, and violated—all the while admiring her gentle grace and young naivete. She is what we are all taught to fear—purity losing itself to darkness.

Review: Awakening the Zodiac

by Jerry Smith
While there have been more than handful of films based on the notorious Bay Area Zodiac murders, let’s be honest here: there will most likely never be one that will hold a candle to David Fincher’s 2007 Zodiac. What Fincher accomplished with that film is nothing short of creating a masterpiece and it’s kind of like that thought of “well, where do we go from here and why bother?” Thankfully, Jonathan Wright’s Awakening the Zodiac does something very unexpected and refreshing: it gives us viewers a completely unique film, one that serves as a hybrid of true crime and fictional, engrossing storytelling.
