BEST BOY (2026) | Official Trailer | New Thriller Movie

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Basically a parasitic Devil Wears Prada.

This movie was insane because of all the things they wanted to comment on and critique. Capitalism, Canada’s medical system, eugenics, the foster care system, PTSD, vegetarianism, cult-like followers, self-confidence, the list continues. But the things is - it was all done really well. No stone left unturned sort of a thing.

Something worth mentioning, the team that made the prosthetics for this film deserve a raise. So well done. And the writers that worked on the medical/science aspects made sure the script was compelling and not boring. I kiss you all on the forehead. Muah.

Canada can’t do every piece of media well, but I luckily had two good horror movies in a row.

OH MY GOD. I am going to need pre-2020 films to stop mirroring the pandemic. It’s alarming.

You should watch this if you:

are looking for some good ol’ Canadian horror

(you know it, you love it) medical malpractice!!!!

#WFF21 / @whisfilmfest quick review: '#WereAllInThisTogether is a quirky family drama

Of all the most reliable subjects for drama, family is the most reliable. After all, unlike friends or coworkers, you don’t get to choose family, and that extra level of tether adds stakes to any situation. We’re All In This Together is a good example of this fact, bringing together a pair of estranged twins, an underaged sister in a relationship with an older man, and a mother who went over a…
