Maynard's Horror Movie Diary praises BERENICE and PAINKILLER


Flattered by the comparison to Richard Powell, a director I greatly admire, Maynard's Horror Diary reviews PAINKILLER. "Probably Kipp's most unconventional, most exceptional film to date...camera- and editing-wise, it possesses all the distinctive Kipp-trademarks, but several plot elements and some striking details make it actually look and feel surprisingly non-Kipp-like, more in the vein of the works by Daniel DelPurgatorio, Richard Powell or the Cronenbergs (David AND Brandon)."  





And Maynard also covers BERENICE.  

Maynard's Horror Film Diary reviews BERENICE! "Kipp successfully managed to bring Poe's 19th century nightmare into the 21st century by giving it a fresh coat of paint, while also keeping the story's basic tone and atmosphere, creating a wonderfullly unsettling film that perfectly combines modern arthouse horror with classic gothic horror. Kudos to the wicked performances of Cheryl Koski as charming and pitiful Berenice, and Thomas Mendolia as unsympathetic and slightly frightening weirdo. Mr. Kipp, more Poe please!"
