Upgrade is a highly enjoyable yet underexposed movie. It’s often billed as a B-Movie and of course, considering its production company (Blumhouse Tilt) as well as its relatively small budget (between 3 and 5 million dollars) I suppose it is. The label of “B-Movie” however, always sounds like […]
Larry Cohen is a very underrated screenwriter and director. He is described by many as a “B-Movie auteur” and although I agree with the “auteur” part, his films for me are much better than typical B-Movies, both in terms of plot and direction. Cohen’s films are usually unfairly […]
