This may be one of Brett and Kristin's favorite Two Stars yet. The Lodgers is a study of stunning cinematography, compelling characters, and a location so beautifully oppressive that an undeniable sense of dread permeates the entire film.

For once, Brett and Kristin disagree with the critics on this week's Two Star Tuesday. As Above So Below is a genuinely claustrophobic trip through the circles of hell that effectively uses dim lighting to keep the audience on edge...mostly.

This week's Two Star starts off as what could have been an interesting deep dive into a supernatural element using character's fears to drive them to unspeakable acts, but falls flat in the end.
