0 Comments
By Richard Haridy May 15, 2013 There are a multitude of sordidly fascinating directions a biopic on Alfred Hitchcock could take. So, when Sacha Gervasi‘s flat and frothy Hitchcock concludes, it’s inevitably frustrating to find this film takes such a conventional path.

By Jess Lomas May 14, 2013 In most horror films, the call comes from inside the house. In Brad Anderson’s thriller The Call it comes from the inside of a car’s trunk. It begins with Jordan Turner (Halle Berry), a 9-1-1 operator based in Los Angeles, answering teenager Leah Templeton’s (Evie Thompson) call to report an intruder. What […]

May 13, 2013 0 Comments
