Review: Killer Therapy
Review by Paul Grammatico
There are times when a family can be severely fractured because of one bad apple in the family. An apple, while it is young, can have some internal development issues coupled with bruising from outside forces. When said apple turns rotten, it enters into the barrel that surrounds it and infects the other apples, thus the phrase, “one bad apple can spoil the barrel”. This may be true, but when you look harder, it can be an inversion of the proverb where the bad apples in the barrel can spoil the apple that it surrounds. Nothing could be closer to this than Killer Therapy, a film produced by Rellik and distributed by 4Digital Media where a child’s development grows out of control as nurture triumphs over nature.

REVIEW: ‘Ten Minutes to Midnight’ – A Blood-Soaked Good Time
Review by Paul Grammatico
When Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula was published in 1879 and made vampirism a thing, there are a massive number of literary and visual works that has referenced these infected, mutated and cursed beings. This presence of the undead has permeated in many films throughout cinematic history with the romantic, to the menacing, to the lurid, to the comedic. With ‘Ten Minutes to Midnight’, Mainframe Pictures with Jinga Films and 1091 Pictures give us a gritty, lurid, but fun vision of how a single event can cause catastrophic consequences.
