Godzilla here has a presence on screen like you’ve never really seen before. This Godzilla is not a hero, nor a villain. He’s an animal, and he is terrifying. This just might be the best Godzilla film that’s ever been produced in his seventy-year lifespan.
Dundrill Heights is an indie film that explores the consequences of deviating from the straight path. In life or death, all gets revealed.
