Feeling something like a broader Brick or an indier Mystery Team, the trailer for The Kid Detective absolutely works for me. Writer/director Evan Morgan (The Dirties) seems to have struck quite the engaging, unique tone, blending the genuine stakes of a murder case with the self-effacing charms of an indie comedy. We've got the first trailer; your first clue, if you will (you don't have to; you can just watch the trailer without indulging me). King of Laconic Charm Adam Brody stars as Abe Applebaum. When Abe was a kid, he was a charming, adorable "kid …
Let’s say you’re a horror fan- or someone who just really loved Get Out- and maybe you’ve recently watched the award-winning Shudder documentary, Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror and loved that too. So where to go from here? Like all pathways to someplace new, it can be challenging to know where to start, particularly once you discover Get Out and Candyman are part of a broader tradition going back way further than 1968’s Night of the Living Dead, or even the 1930’s when Zora Neale Hurston was studying zombie myths in Haiti …
Briarpatch is a curious case. Not the actual case of murder at the heart of the mystery (that’s never quite as gripping as the series needs it to be), but the series itself, which fashions itself as a hot, dusty desert noir with a freak flag to fly. Unfortunately, the series only ever seems to want to fly it at half-mast, resulting in a show that’s watchable as hell but never quite carves a clear identity out of the hard-boiled genre tropes and creative flourishes it so giddily embraces. The influences here are loud and clear; …
Light spoilers for Revolver are ahead. But with a movie as weird as this, what even is a “spoiler”? In 2007, filmmaker Guy Ritchie released Revolver to American audiences, two years after its 2005 European release. On its surface, it looks to be squarely in line with his previous instant cult classic crime-comedies like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. Like those two, it stars Jason Statham as a gritty, hard-talking criminal mastermind, this time squared up against corrupt casino boss Ray Liotta alongside the eclectic team of André Benjamin and Vincent Pastore. Heists, assassins, double-…

Chinatown is unanimously regarded by both critics and fans as one of the best Film Noirs ever made, but do you know why?
Listen: If you have Nathan Lane as a hardboiled detective in a period-appropriate mustache saying "Welcome to homicide" while looking at a gruesome murder scene, I'm going to watch your show. And the first trailer for Penny Dreadful: City of Angels boasts this delightfully grimy image and much, much more. Even if you haven't watched the original Penny Dreadful, the dearly departed Showtime genre series starring Josh Hartnett, Eva Green, and Timothy Dalton, you'll find stuff to enjoy in this spinoff, as it tells a brand new, self-contained story.

You've never seen a small-town mystery movie quite like this one. The buzzy festival hit Knives and Skin finally has a trailer so you can get a glimpse at the beautiful, bonkers movie. Of all the films I"ve been lucky enough to catch at the festival circuit in 2019, Knives and Skin is without a doubt the hardest to describe. But I'll try. It's the avant-garde, sing-a-long, John Waters-meets-David Lynch, fashion-forward, queer teen neon-noir you didn't know you needed. It's a one-of-a-kind film, …
