NiuNiu - Film Fest Review
The film is a powerful narrative encompassing a theme that many people can identify with.

When hyper-assertive Jess trespasses into a vampire’s lair to thrill and satiate her loyal social media followers, the lifeblood of her being, she encounters the 2000-year-old vampire, Count Vicardi, whose millennial-spanning appetite for human blood and savagery knows no bounds.

After We Collided is a sequel to last year’s After, which itself was based on Anna Todd’s 2014 novel of the same name, and which was originally published as a Harry Styles-centric fan-fiction on WattPad (a similar path as E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey series).
Escape The Field is a serviceable horror thriller. The characters are easier to remember as horror character tropes. As I wrote this review, I only remembered the characters by their tropes: #FinalGirl, #Everyman, #Badass, #MeanB*/SexyGirl, #Realist/BlackLesbian, and #TheNerd.
'Pariah' tells a powerful, mesmerizing, and unflinchingly honest story of identity.
In addition to the cast being delightfully diverse this time around, the film was just loosely-plotted and action-packed enough to keep a casual fan like myself entertained. While I do agree that the writing of Cole left much to be desired for an original character thrust into a preconceived universe, none of the characters seemed particularly fleshed out in terms of personality; however, I think that's to be expected when you're watching a film literally inspired by a video game.
