Movie Review: Lucky (2021)

In Lucky, Brea Grant stars as May, a popular self-help author. While she appears to have her life together on the surface, it’s far from normal. Every day she faces off against the same attacker. Even after wounding him, he disappears then returns in an attempt to kill her again and again. Why? She has no idea. But on top of the mysterious man, her husband has gone MIA, and her sister-in-law is acting sketchy as hell. S who is this mystery man and why does he coming back? We’ll get to that. As for action, this movie is filled with it. There are a ton of fight scenes. And I have to say I truly appreciate that director Natasha Kermani keeps them realistic. There are no superwomen here, it’s just women. What started out as a thriller turns into something completely different. It turns out Lucky is actually, in my opinion, about the invisible trauma that women face every

Ghosts, Religious Horror, and Obsession Are Slated for Boston Underground Film Festival 2020

Among the incredible films selected for the 22nd annual Boston Underground Film Festival are some mouth-watering horror movie options. The fest returns to Harvard Square, bringing with it five days of cutting-edge cinema to the Brattle Theatre from March 25th through the 29th. This year’s program boasts, according to BUFF’s press release, “a whole lot of unholy obsession, objectophilia, WTF thrillers, genre-spinning slashers, familial dysfunction, queer clairvoyance, and more!” Among the fear fare on display at BUFF will be U.K. writer-director Rose Glass’ gut-punch feature debut Saint Maud, a chilling and boldly original vision of faith, madness, and salvation in a fallen world. BUFF hosts the Boston premiere of this highly anticipated upcoming A24 release, with director Glass in attendance for a post-screening Q&A. The fest’s thematic strand of unholy obsession continues with the world premiere of the 2K restoration of Philip Ridley’s 1995 awe-inspiring The Passion of Darkly Noon, courtesy of the American Genre Film Archive and Arrow Films.
