‘Echo Point’ (2026) Review

Echo Point is a micro-budget thriller by director Evan Marcewicz, who also produced and wrote the screenplay. It’s no secret that we love independent art here in the Wasteland, and I was really excited to review a self-contained passion project with a very intriguing premise. The film follows Sawyer, having just received his estranged father’s will, as he begins hearing voices from beyond via the cabin radio.

‘Dirty Dancing’ (1987) Is an Essential Movie

"I carried a watermelon." There is something almost magical about the nostalgia that comes with Dirty Dancing. I remember so many little details from watching it as a kid, popping the VHS into the VCR and settling in to watch Baby and Johnny's forbidden romance unfold. Set in the 1960s, the film transported me to this sun-soaked summer filled with dancing, first love, and all the excitement and uncertainty that comes with growing up.

‘Resident Evil’ (2026) Review

I still remember the feeling I got playing my first Resident Evil game. It was the first one, so the mechanics are dated by today’s video game standards. What stands out in my memory though is the atmosphere and mood the games create: the rendering open door, the growling sounds growing as monsters come closer and camera angles that add tension to an already stressful environment.
