DVDanger: Buster's Mal Heart

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both." Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" posits the impossibility of following two dreams. Buster's Mal Heart, the second feature by visionary and mystical director Sarah Adina Smith, finds wonder in that impossibility.

DVDanger: 68 Kill

How do you make a rocking exploitation movie? According to Trent Haaga, you ask. That's pretty much how the writer/director got to shoot his new guns-blazing road trip 68 Kill.

DVDanger: Willard

Name a film that isn't automatically made weirder adding Crispin Glover. Correct, you're thinking of Willard, the Seventies strangest horror/crime hybrid that he remade in 2003 and yet could not make a lick more bizarre. After all, how much stranger can you make rat burglary?

DVDanger: Don't Knock Twice

Quick note: Do not confuse improv dramedy Don’t Think Twice with supernatural shocker Don't Knock Twice. That said, the indie horror's gorgeous, flame-wrapped credit sequence makes it clear that, rather than eliciting laughs, it takes an established horror trope and throws it into a cold-flamed inferno.

DVDanger: Streets of Fire

Streets of Fire is the Velvet Underground & Nico of Eighties movies. Almost nobody saw it at the time, but for the few that did, it became their magnetic North.

DVDanger: RWBY Volume 4

There's a stack of half-empty pizza boxes at Rooster Teeth. It's not leftovers from a production meeting, but the happy vestiges of a Make-a-Wish visit to the Austin-based online studio. It's all part of Barbara Dunkelman's job as the company's community manager, but it's not her only job around here.

DVDanger: Future Shock! The Story of 2000 AD

Imagine comics with no Sandman. No Watchmen. No Preacher. That's a world without 2000 AD, the British comics institution that rewrote the rules and, as documentary Future Shock! shows, launched some of the art form's greatest figures.

DVDanger: Another Evil

If there's something strange in your neighborhood, calling a needy, dysfunctional, arrogant ghostbuster might not be your best solution. If you do, you might just be opening your home to Another Evil.
