High-Rise Invasion Season 1 Explained: Who Are The Masks?

Netflix, New DVD release, , ,
This article contains spoilers for High-Rise Invasion season 1. Television currently exists in a place where there’s a constant stream of new shows and it becomes incredibly easy for some series to sink and get lost at sea. This can be even more prevalent when it comes to anime since it’s sometimes quite difficult to determine which series really strive to be innovative and challenging.  At first glance, High-Rise Invasion looks like an indulgent excuse for sadistic killers to act out Hostel-like slasher fantasies.

New DVD release, , , ,
Save Yourselves is an alien science fiction movie based on a simple premise that turns out to be so much more. “Though it starts with a seemingly simple sci-fi premise, Save Yourselves is actually so much more. This is a film that’s funny and surprising but also smart, layered, and subtly thought-provoking.
