Children pay for the sins of their elders in THE CURSED
by A. Freedman, Staff Writer
The Cursed is a scary treat for the senses, and rooted in actual folklore.
Timothy Spall can’t make up for the many issues of THE LAST BUS
by Matt McCafferty, Staff Writer
For a movie that tries so hard to pull at your heartstrings with the “heroic” actions of its main character, The Last Bus never feels earnest with its intentions.

MINAMATA features a Depp that seems committed in a way we haven’t seen in years
