(For purposes of clarity, this interview refers to each of the brothers by their first names.) “We had to renew our knowledge of Thoreau from high school, where we didn’t really appreciate him, let’s say, that much,” Erik says with a laugh. “And now, […]Read On »

DEAD LOVE movie poster | ©2026 Cartuna x DWECK

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Grace Glowicki, Ben Petrie, Leah Doz, Lowen Morrow Writers: Grace Glowicki & Ben Petrie Director: Grace Glowicki Distributor: Cartuna x DWECK Release Date: March 20, 2026 In an attempt to gauge relative response, this reviewer described what happens in DEAD LOVER to two separate individuals. They had identical reactions: “That’s the weirdest plot I’ve ever heard.” Even allowing for the possibility that these two folks don’t get out much and therefore have less basis for comparison, DEAD LOVER may be the most gonzonana riff on FRANKENSTEIN ever. The competition for that title includes THE ROCKY HORROR […]Read On »

That’s a lot to juggle, and the movie isn’t always up to the tasks the filmmakers set for themselves. JITTERS revolves around a concept that, […]Read On »
