There’s an old adage that people aren’t necessarily against propaganda, they’re against bad propaganda. No one bats an eye at the flag-waving of, say, Steven Spielberg or Sam Raimi. Hell, even Mel Gibson can win over audiences with The Patriot or...
Earlier this year, The Drama asked questions about what, exactly, love could survive. In that film, the characters explored if their love could survive external forces. In Olivia Wilde’s The Invite, an adaptation of the Spanish film The People...
Horror has always been tied to the urban legend, the story told round the campfire. Folk tales inspired Dracula, scary stories about murdered babysitters and lustful teens inspired the slasher genre, and tales of freak accidents inspired Final...
There are few studios as daring – or as heartbreaking – as Laika. Founded by Travis Knight, the studio has revolutionized the world of stop-motion animation, yet fails to earn returns worthy of their artistic genius. There is hope to...
Ed. Note: You Can See Everything is heavily predicated on a series of major twists. I will try my best to avoid revealing the film’s true nature, but cannot fully promise that everything will be...
