Blood in the Snow 2013: Evangeline Review

by    |  

Evangeline (Opening Night Film) A mishmash of halfbaked genre elements cribbed from other far better films and filmmakers and an almost inscrutable story, Karen Lam’s Evangeline is an unfortunate mess that never comes together and sets some genuinely good performances hopelessly adrift. Kat de Lieva stars as the titular protagonist, a shy young student just […]

Blood in the Snow 2013: Discopath Review

Innis (Ian Dyck) is an overstressed security guard who sees society crumbling around him while he tries to go […]
