DVD Review: Hated [MA15]
Hated is a fairly different take on the ‘rise to fame’ sub-genre, this is a more mellow type of film about the ones who gets left behind. I do enjoy these types of films, while they can be ‘run of the mill’; generally there is something that sets each apart. Continue reading
