Movie Review: HACKSAW RIDGE

Hacksaw Ridge is Mel Gibson’s latest directorial effort telling the true story of Medal of Honor recipient Desmond T. Doss (portrayed by Andrew Garfield in this film). Doss was a combat medic in the U.S. Army during the World War II incursions into Japan and, as a conscientious objector on religious grounds, he refused to carry a gun or to commit any violence on another. During a battle aimed at taking Hacksaw Ridge from the Japanese, Doss proved his heroism by saving many American lives. This film stars Andrew Garfield, Teresa Palmer, Hugo Weaving, Vince Vaughn, Sam Worthington, and Luke Bracey. It's an incredibly powerful film which affected me on a deeply emotional level in addition to it impressing me technically.

Movie Review: LIGHTS OUT

This is one of the best horror films to be released in recent years, it is horror done correctly. It's a film that treats audiences with respect and scares them deeply with unsettling and intelligent imagery, whilst maintaining a high sense of narrative drive and dramatic pathos that ultimately overpower any of the film's minor flaws.

Movie Review: LIGHTS OUT

Directed by David F. Sandberg with the screenplay written by Eric Heisserer (based on a short film by David F. Sandberg), Lights Out is one of the scariest movies I seen since The Conjuring 2.
