Women. Madness. Women AND madness. I’m not insinuating anything here but the evidence in Alex Ross Perry’s Queen of Earth, a psychological thriller, is as disturbing as it is authentic. And, I should point out, the film works as well as it does because we AREN’T talking ...
Louisiana native Mark Duplass has made quite a name for himself both behind and in front of the camera. From HBO’s Togetherness to Hannah Take the Stairs, he’s got a strong indie following that swears allegiance to his abilities. His psychotic turn in the found-footage horror ...
