About a Hero. Review of a trip, and not in a good way - Cut To The Take About a Hero is a film made using an AI generated script that follows a simple premise: “What happened to Dorem Clery?”. If you have any...

After a heart-felt post, I feel like the right thing to do is share something unhinged, so here it is, the most confusing film I've watched in the last few months. 🫠🫠

The Zodiac Killer Project. Review: the best pitch of 2025 - Cut To The Take The Zodiac Killer Project is, simply put, the story of an idea. A concept that is expected to never come to fruition due to a dispute with...

Redux Redux. Review of a unique vengeance story - Cut To The Take Redux Redux is the kind of film that, plot holes aside, is pretty enjoyable to watch. Don’t expect a masterpiece, and definitely don’t...

There's vengeance, and then there's 💥 MULTIVERSE VENGEANCE💥

To be honest, I was surprised Liam Neeson wasn't on this.😶

Bulk review: Ben Wheatley’s mercurial multiverse The British director returns to the lo-fi stylings of his early work with a multiverse sci-fi starring four characters in search of a narrative form.

“Pitched between Christopher Smith’s looping Triangle (2009) and Graham Hughes’ Hostile Dimensions (2023), the wonderfully inventive, self-referential Bulk creates the universe(s) from nothing”
