    Two great performances from Lithgow & Rush are at the center of this unsettling and uncomfortable psychological horror-ish thriller.

    ★★★½

    East meets west vampire lore in this fun and extremely silly Hong Kong horror comedy. The English vampire lord looks more like the lead singer in a Swedish 80s synth band though.

  • Azrael

    Azrael

    ★★★★½

    One of the best action-filled horror films in ages. Samara Weaving is amazing.
