The Cinematic Review-verse

Good afternoon, Review-Verse readers! Today on The Cinematic Review-Verse , I’m going to be discussing The End of Oak Street .

Seemed like more horror than comedy if you ask me, and not the kind that would give you a rush like The Beekeeper or something. With respect to the cast and crew, do something different next time, or show what footage got cut. As for the audience, I don’t recommend the movie. But I am open to co...
