This is our  NEW RELEASE  review   podcast,  ONE HOT TAKE. In its strongest passages, APEX becomes spatial. Crevasses, cliff faces, narrow passages — the geography tightens, and with it the tension.

This is our  NEW RELEASE  review   podcast,  ONE HOT TAKE. So the film exists in two states. As a complete object, it is monumental, fluid, overwhelming in its design. As a memory, it remains something fractured, two meals served separately, each with its own aftertaste. Synopsis: A female assassin seeks revenge on her former lover and squad members, all of whom left her for dead. Brendan Hodges S...

This is our  NEW RELEASE  review   podcast,  ONE HOT TAKE. Raimi leans into the tactile. Bodies are constantly under assault. Fluids, impact, proximity.

Conor O'Donnell Co-host of the The B-Side podcast, writer at the  Film Stage ...

This is our  NEW RELEASE  review   podcast,  ONE HOT TAKE. What lingers is not the question of what the monster is.

This is our  NEW RELEASE  review   podcast,  ONE HOT TAKE. What DaCosta understands is that this middle chapter does not need to climax. It needs to deepen.
