DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
ANGUISH - James Curd
"Trying his directorial hand after working as a producer on a handful of middle-grade horror films ('The Stranger,' 'The Roommate'), Mallhi struggles with the self-seriousness of his subject matter. His shots are all portentous darkness and dreary suburban houses, signifiers of detachment and malaise, while melancholy guitar-picking constitutes the soundtrack."
Abby Garnett, Village Voice
THE LAST WITCH HUNTER - Steve Jablonsky
"In its favor, 'The Last Witch Hunter' boasts some terrific production design and digital effects, notably the Witch Queen's lair and a creature called the Sentinel, both nightmarish pagan constructions of shape-shifting wood and bone. A couple of late plot twists also feel refreshingly left-field, even if they are shameless signposts for future sequels. Less impressively, Eisner’s movie is clogged with cardboard characters, flat dialogue and a sluggish middle act that gets lost in too much fabricated witchy folklore. Steve Jablonsky's ever-present, over-insistent orchestral score also grates on the nerves before long. Fast and furious on the surface, shallow and conventional beneath, Diesel's bid to carve himself another billion-dollar franchise is off to a good start with this mainstream crowd-pleaser."
Stephen Dalton, Hollywood Reporter
