Animalistic is hardly an “enjoyable” film and doesn’t really stand out even amongst the revenge films that have come before like I Spit on Your Grave (including a remakes and sequels) but I will say for the most part Hanna Oldenburg wasn’t too bad.

Scrawl DVD Review
The more appropriate title for Scrawl should have been “Scattershot” instead with an awfully confusing plot from the get-go. The only reason this is now receiving any more attention is it does feature a pre-Star Wars Daisy Ridley.
Hi-Death DVD Review
Hi-Death is an anthology movie that has many of the pratfalls of others where most of the segments are garbage with one or maybe two having some value but here even the ones were decent, it’s cancelled out due to the cheap looking production.
The Sitter DVD Review
The Sitter did have some potential wasted due to a poor script though the performance from star Aisling Knight was probably lone bright spot.
General Commander DVD Review
General Commander is just another poorly made and all around lazy action-thriller from Steven Seagal who gave up on quality work in well over a decade, this one is no different where he seems to sit around most of the time.
Spunk’s Not Dead DVD Review
Spunk’s Not Dead is one of those movies with a fun yet horrific front cover that doesn’t really match with some of the more cheap production of the film itself. The acting is so-so at best though it’s not altogether terrible.
Aloys DVD Review
Aloys is an interesting indie movie that I’d imagine someone like Paul Thomas Anderson would absolutely love. The performances from the two leads were both well done.
The Trial of Ratko Mladic DVD Review
The Trial of Ratko Mladic is haunting documentary of a monster I suspect not many people know about.
NOVA: Rise of the Rockets DVD Review
NOVA: Rise of the Rockets is an informative episode of the series providing a glimpse at the future of both exploration as well as the corporate-backing.
The Mighty McGurk DVD Review
The Mighty McGurk is a well acted adventure-drama featuring two wonderous performances from Wallace Beery and Dean Stockwell when he was a child actor.
Becoming Evil: Serial Killers DVD Review
Becoming Evil: Serial Killers isn’t all that well put together documentary series, in fact comes across as a bit cheap, but with the explosion of true crime that has elevated Investigative Discovery, A&E and Lifetime.
The Charmer DVD Review
The Charmer is a, well, charming little romance-drama featuring two lovely performances from its leads, Ardalan Esmaili and Soho Rezanejad who do carry the film rather well.
Bonanza: The Official Ninth Season: Volumes 1 & 2 DVD Review
Bonanza: Season Nine is a fine enough season but as someone who isn’t the biggest fan of westerns in general and haven’t really cared enough about the show to keep up over the course of nine seasons, but the restoration work from CBS was well done.

Finding Joy DVD Review
Finding Joy is an endearing and charming drama featuring some sharp writing and a great performance from co-creator Amy Huberman.
The Hole in the Ground DVD Review
The Hole in the Ground is a gem of a horror-thriller featuring a tremendous performance from Seána Kerslake whom I hope to see more of especially Stateside.
