BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 2/14/2025

THE DEAD THING

“It takes a while to figure out what The Dead Thing is about, as it’s more of a puzzle box than an out-and-out horror film. While director Elric Kane has style to spare, some may find this a bit of a slow burn.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD

“Anthony Mackie understood the assignment.” Byron McNeal, On The Reel On Tumblr

“Overall, Captain America: Brave New World is a decent at-home action MCU movie, as long as you don’t want it to be anything but OK.” Rodney Brown, Nerd Caliber

BOFCA REVIEW ROUNDUP: 1/17/2025

WOLF MAN

“At least the ‘creature feature’ side of Wolf Man clicks, capturing agile scares with audacious camerawork, centered on the cast’s panicked performances. But the film has less to say about paternity and modern man than it thinks it does, and much of what it does contribute to those necessary conversations regresses them instead.” Andy Crump, Paste Magazine

UNDER THE CRYSTAL SKY

“Given the care given to the look and feel of Under the Crystal Sky, it seems odd that they would put so much effort into a movie that has – literally and figuratively – nothing to say.” Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
