‘Sanctuary’ Delivers Succession Through an S&M Lens (Review)

Zachary Wigon's sophomore feature 'Sanctuary' is a dialogue-driven erotic thriller that harkens back to the best work of Neil LaBute. Set almost entirely inside a hotel room, the film explores the dark and twisted dynamic between a dominatrix named Rebecca (Margaret Qualley) and her soon-to-be ex-client, Hal (Christopher Abbott). Hal is the heir to a hotel empire and on the path to becoming CEO after the death of his father. But he has his fair share of secrets and Rebecca knows them all. How can he move forward professionally when she holds all the cards? We spend one full night with Rebecca and Hal as he hires her for what he intends to be their last session. The Verdict 'Sanctuary' feels like it began as a stage play. We get two characters and a war of words f...

‘Infinity Pool’ Delivers Pure Nightmare Fuel (Review)

With 'Infinity Pool,' Brandon Cronenberg proves that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. And that tree is probably covered in blood. Yes, Brandon's dad is the one and only David Cronenberg and he's made some great films over the course of his career. For my money, 'Infinity Pool' is far more interesting than his dad's most recent effort. Of course, it helps to have two of the sexiest people on the planet along for the ride - Alexander Skarsgard and Mia Goth. Mia Goth stars in Brandon Cronenberg's 'Infinity Pool' (NEON) Skarsgard plays James Foster, an author with one middling novel under his belt who just can't seem to write a follow-up. To kickstart his brain, he follows his wife Em (Cleopatra Coleman) on a trip to a luxury resort in Li Tolqa (a location made up for t...
