Old-fashioned is right. Like how the Taliban is old-fashioned. Behold some pretty despicable passive-aggressive othering of women in the name of “respect.” I’m “biast” (pro): nothing

I’m “biast” (con): not a fan of “faith-based” movies

(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)

So, this is the film being offered up as the Christian alternative to Fifty Shades of Grey. Which turns out to be rather appropriate, for the “hero” of Old Fashioned is his own sort of controlling, demanding, and precisely, meticulously detailed about how women may and may not interact with him. He’s got a lot of rules that must be followed. It’s just that here, those rules come from Jesus in some nebulous, undefined way.

Some might say that this is a slow moving film, but a slow build of tension is what is needed and I feel like it works really well here. It spends time with characters and allows us to see into their lives and their psyche.

It also has a...

With the Halloween season in full swing, we thought we’d bring you a tasty little treat that ends with a bloody trick. Slash-in-the-Box is a horror short that runs about five minutes, and from the title alone you should already surmise what it’s about and how it isn’t going to end well for someone.

Slash-in-the-Box was written and directed by Nick Everhart (666: The Beast, 2012: Doomsday) with director of photography duty by Leigh Scott (Beast of Bray Road, The Witches of Oz) on a shoestring budget of $2,000. Elizabeth Masucci, Tyler Hollinger, and a not-so-innocent jack-in-the-box star.

Enjoy!
