I’ve been wildly curious about “The End of Oak Street” since its brief teaser dropped a couple of months back. Now Warner Bros. Pictures have released the first full trailer and I’m even more intrigued. This science-fiction survivor thriller comes from writer-director David Robert Mitchell, who gained a lot of attention for his 2014 horror … Continue reading
REVIEW: “Passenger” (2026)
“Passenger” is the latest feature from Norwegian filmmaker André Øvredal. It’s the follow-up to his criminally underrated 2023 film “The Last Voyage of the Demeter”, which was a narratively crafty and visually stunning adaptation of “The Captain’s Log”, a chapter from Bram Stoker’s 1987 classic novel “Dracula”.
