6/10
Everything and nothing make logical sense. There’s a nice commentary on fandom in this notion because it reveals just how blind we become to evidence that refutes subjects we hold onto so religiously. Go to Full Review Michael Talbot-Haynes Film Threat 4d
4.5/10
For a picture trying to ape high Italian, this results in something looking like an 80s Growing Pains Saturday Night Murder Special. Go to Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest 5d
The charm become as evident as the sleaze in "City Wide Fever" is, perhaps being a guilty pleasure but a pleasure nonetheless. Go to Full Review Ernesto Zelaya Miñano ScreenAnarchy 5d
If you get on its wavelength over the course of its very brief 70 minutes (sans credits), you might even start to feel a small twinge of nostalgia. ... Makes more sense as a call-back to grimy indie film and B-movies, or as a satire of them. Go to Full Review Daniel Gorman In Review Online 5d
Honest-to-goodness guerrilla filmmaking, a true indie project that makes up for its lack of money with creativity, style, and an anything goes DIY ethos. Heaps’ film is a true gem. Go to Full Review Paul Lê Bloody Disgusting Apr 9
3.5/5
The end result is a movie that, despite all appearances, doesn’t entirely escape convention, but it’s also teeming with enough verve and style to make it feel fresh. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
