Soulmate (Movie Review)

Soulmate has just been released by Revolver Entertainment on DVD and VOD for $19.98. Directed by Axelle Carolyn, Soulmate offers up a ghostly story that will surely send chills down your spine this Halloween. Read on to learn more.



Soulmate is a slow-paced story about a young widow named Audrey Barker (Anna Walton) who decides to move to the Welsh countryside after losing her husband. Audrey has experienced quite the hardship during her recovery, and the young woman's family starts to think she is losing her mind after a recent failed suicide attempt. Our protagonist realizes that she needs some time to herself and sneaks away to stay at a beautiful cabin located in the country. Audrey arrives to her new abode to meet the weird caretakers before settling in, however, the peaceful retreat doesn't last long.

Soulmate is a eerie ghost story that combines a great presentation with wonderful acting alongside an elegantly written story with its only downfall being its slow-pacing that could cause some viewers to become uninterested before they reach the end of the film. The buildup of the story seems to drudge on before viewers finally get to the interesting part of the movie which involves an angry spirit residing in the home. When Audrey first hears and sees the ghost--she thinks it may be delusions from her medication or an intruder is hiding in the locked attic of the home. In a weird twist, Audrey and the spirit start to become friends, which not only feeds its energy but its possessive feelings of her. Audrey's mindset and presence in the house slowly awakens the spirit into the world of the living and each day with her powers his newfound abilities. Tom Wisdom's performance as the deceased Douglas breathes new life into the film and will keep viewers hooked to every moment of the movie until the very end. The story that was slow-paced and boring up until this point starts to take on a whole new direction as the intriguing past of Douglas slowly creeps up into Audrey's new life and makes it somewhat interesting.

In the end, Soulmate is a decent film worth checking out this Halloween especially since it's now available on Hulu as well. The film was shot in the perfect location and the great performances from the actors in the film really make the drudgery of the film's slow-paced story that much more bearable. If you are looking for a spooky new film to curl up with on Halloween night then look no further than Soulmate! Also, check out the movie on iTunes here.

Crazy Kung Fu: A chunky, focused fitness‑meets‑reflex fighter (VR Game Review)

Crazy Kung Fu transforms martial‑arts training into a physical rhythm game that sharpens reflexes and raises your heart rate: fast, reflex‑driven, calorie‑burning gameplay wrapped in deep moddability. What started as a focused VR reflex trainer has evolved into a vibrant, community‑shaped practice arena; richer environments, meaningful cosmetic rewards, and new systems that push precision, stamina, and skill growth in equal measure.

Haymaker: VR Brawling, Up Close - Authentic, physics‑first combat that turns your body into the controller. (Game Review)

Haymaker is a physics‑first VR brawler in active Early Access that prioritizes authentic, body‑driven melee and high replayability. Its core systems are already playable: weighty, physics‑based hand interactions for grabbing, grappling, and striking; gesture‑driven kicks and knees that reward full‑body motion; adaptive AI that reads and reacts to the battlefield; and sandbox encounters that encourage improvisation with props and environment. Many systems remain in prototype; levels, progression loops, and some modes are still being shaped, but the mechanical foundation is solid and satisfying. The studio is deliberately using Early Access as a development lab: player feedback will guide tuning, bug fixes, and content expansion, so the game you play now is a promising glimpse of a more polished, content‑rich brawler to come. Core systems and combat • Physics‑driven hands : Interactions are governed by a weight‑aware physics model that responds to force, angle, and momentum; so grabs, h...

Letter Lost: Postmarked Secrets - A cozy post office that hides rules and a deeper mystery. (Demo Preview)

Letter Lost drops you into the Kharnym Isle Post Office as its sole employee, tasked with the deceptively simple work of stamping, sorting, and dispatching the island’s mail. On the surface it’s a cozy workplace sim; polite locals, daily pay, and mandatory room and board that removes the hassle of commuting, but the office’s cheery routine is threaded with odd rules and quiet contradictions that quickly make the ordinary feel off‑kilter. What begins as a satisfying loop of weighing parcels and matching stamps soon becomes a game of attention: letters hide hints, patrons’ small talk slips into unsettling confessions, and management’s insistence that you never leave the premises reads less like policy and more like a warning. The demo covers your first four days on the job, teaching the systems while nudging you toward choices, obey protocol and keep the peace, or pry at the seams and uncover the post office’s darker purpose. Either way, those first shifts are a careful, uncanny invitat...
