It's a good week to be a Dylan O'Brien fan, with the release of Send Help but also TWINLESS, in which he delivers the best performance of his career so far!

I do think it's interesting how big the response to Markiplier's Iron Lung is, compared to the muted reception of Chris Stuckmann's Shelby Oaks. I think both films are very similar, and feel like calling cards to something bigger, but also quite flawed, with serious pacing issues.

Does YouTube legend Markiplier fare well with his debut feature? Well, at least it's a better video game movie than Return to Silent Hill.
