PURE O Film Review: A Sublimely Made Hyperrealistic Film Directed & Written by Dillon Tucker

by Greggory W Morris • April 15, 2024

“PURE O is about mental health, and yet so much more. It tackles a litany of universal issues we all face – grief, coming-of-age, loss, addiction, intrapersonal growth, redemption and the power of social connection.,” writes Director Dillon Tucker about his semi-auto biographical memoir.

“I hope the audience walks away feeling closer to others and also themselves OCD thoughts are just normal thoughts that get misinterpreted. There is an opportunity with this film to show the world what OCD really looks like. To show those who suffer that receiving an OCD diagnosis doesn’t mean your life is over. And to show everyone else that we all need the help of other people.” Article and Review by Gregg W. Morris.

There are other films that are about this issue that are in my film. I gave them homage and put clips in our film to show that we weren’t the first. We will not be the last. This is a forever problem in some ways,” says Director Hadley Austin in here interview with WORD Editor-Reviewer Gregg W. Morris.

I DIDN’T SEE YOU THERE: A Mindboggling, Mind-blowing, Mind-bending Film Experience

by Editor Gregg Morris • February 20, 2024

Reid Davenport:“All of the footage in I DIDN’T SEE YOU THERE is shot by me from my literal point-of-view. The motivation for this is twofold: 1, to jar viewers with shots from a camera held by my spastic body or mounted to my wheelchair, and, 2, to unequivocally rebuke the norm of disabled people being seen and not heard In this film, viewers listen to my voiceover without ever seeing the entirety of my face.”

A CREATURE WAS STIRRING Film Review – Audiences Should Be Prepared to CRINGE!

by Greggory W Morris • December 16, 2023

A trailblazing, avant-garde, horror movie swelling beyond “normal” cinematic horror dimensions – deserving this reviewer’s rarely invoked WWCEA rating: WOW-WOW-CAVEAT-EMPTOR-esque-ALERT.

——It’s a powerful sensory cinematic experience that may be challenging for some viewers as it was for some reviewers because of the filmmakers’ creative us of a werecreature, which is a shapeshifter that can metamorphose from human to a particular animal form.

——Nevertheless, audiences in search of a really, really scary movie should not be deterred nor befuddled by the first appearance ever in a movie of a weremonster that isn’t a werewolf. This horror movie is sublime in so many ways waiting to be discovered by audiences!
