James Bennett, writer and star of Fatal Deviation, can imitate Jean-Claude Van Damme’s famous splits-in-the-doorway move, but his writing and line delivery have all the energy of a plate of cold chips. And that's what makes this movie glorious.

Zachariah is an old-west psychedelic rock retelling of Siddhartha. Yeah, you've seen dozens of those, but have you seen one with Don Johnson and a Elvin Jones drum solo?
