The Mad Writer is a testament to the human spirit and offers an intriguing, personal glimpse into one individual's crossroads. It is both fascinating and moving. Kristy Strouse reviews: www.filminquiry.com/the-mad-writ...

The final result of The Exorcist: Believer is a collection of half-thought ideas for good Exorcist movies that don’t mix into a good film. Mark McPherson reviews: www.filminquiry.com/the-exorcist...
Fincher's back with The Killer, a stylish thriller about an assassin (Michael Fassbender) who travels to do some pro bono elimination when the consequences of a botched job come back to bite him. Sounds like Fincher alright. Paddy Wilson reviews: www.filminquiry.com/london-ff-20...
