Held has all the hallmarks of a film made during the pandemic. It's basically stuck in one location, it has a small cast, and a small crew. You have the writer, Jill Awbrey, pulling double duty as the star, Emma. Co-directed by Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing, the two of them do an admirable job with
Alan B. McElroy reboots his own series for director Mike P. Nelson and the franchise is headed… in the right direction. (See what I did there?)

We've had haunted house movies. Sure, but have we had a haunted van movie? That's what Passenger amounts to at its most distilled form. This is a horror movie about a demonic force (the opposite of Saint Christopher) that has been chasing and killing travelers for hundreds of years. Basically, the
Though marital arts action cinema is vast and varied, it is rare for one to elevate the genre and push it forward. There have been few recently - The Raid comes to mind, and while not technically "martial arts" I'd argue John Wick counts - that feel as if something new and special is happening.
Daemons of the Shadow Realm jumps right into some bloody action with a new second cours in Ep. 13 "Daikyo and Shokyo". And just two weeks after the conclusion of the first cours to boot.
