The Binding (2020) – Too Generic to Have Any Chill
The Binding (original title: Il legame) is a new Netflix horror film from Italy. In fact, it is a supernatural horror film, but it does not have enough chilling moments to make it interesting.

‘Ginny Weds Sunny’ (Review) – An Unoriginal Bollywood Rom-com
Director Puneet Khanna’s debut Netflix Hindi romantic comedy film ‘Ginny Weds Sunny’ is a typical Bollywood “boy-meets-girl” story that is no unique a tale, at least for those who follow Indian rom-com.

“The Devil All the Time” (Film Review): No Place for Divine Retribution
Let me start by saying that the latest Netflix crime drama “The Devil All the Time” is one of the finest films of this year. While some of my friends are not agreed with me, as this was melancholic, dark and a story full of misery and human helplessness, I see this as refreshing and […]

‘The Old Guard’ (Review): The Dark Side of Being Deathless
This Netflix adaptation of the Greg Rucka comic book is impressively directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood with some thought-provoking outlook on the lives of fictional superheroes.
