"If horror is meant to elicit strong emotions, the most that Bye Sweet Carole can manage is cringe."

Slant @slantmagazine.com · 17h

As a horror game, BYE SWEET CAROLE is a fundamental miscalculation. Read @midfalutin.bsky.social's review.

'Bye Sweet Carole' Review: An Insipid Disney-esque Horror Adventure

Clearly the game is taking aim at the Disney Princess archetype, but the shots fired are all so clunky and obvious.

On-Gaku: Our Sound was not a fluke, it turns out

To get to the primal thrill of racing, writes @midfalutin.bsky.social, Iwaisawa Kenji uses just about every technique at his disposal throughout 100 METERS. The film opens in L.A 10/10, with a nationwide event release beginning 10/12.

'100 Meters' Review: A Breathtaking Animation Showpiece

The film pays special mind to burnout disillusionment and despair, and to the point where the 100-meter dash sounds positively Sisyphean.

A rodent can be observed perched atop a toy car, sliding across creaking floorboards. Fear in its eyes, but also something else. Defiance? Triumph?

A man in a huge, rubbery chicken costume steps on a landmine. Noise, smoke, chaos. Nothing that's left has a defined shape. Bloody pulp. Tufts of feathers.
