 Rating: 4.5/5.0 |
This taut psychological thriller is both highly bump-in-the-night edgy and symbolically intuitive. It takes on issues like mental health, financial distress and what stability in America really means. Director Jason Miller is part of a new evolution in the horror/thriller movement, in which the parts of our nature that are most likely to be afraid are the ones that we wake up with every morning. With this well-received and well-intentioned feature debut, Miller becomes a writer/director to watch for.
The Midwest Film Festival has been a staple in Chicago’s film community for 19 years, with a monthly format At the beginning of 2020, it reinvented the brand with a new look, facilitated by Executive Director Erica Duffy. It has maintained its status as one of the most influential, popular and provocative film festivals in the city of Chicago.
