Franchise, franchise, at the mall, who is the Furious-est of them all? Sixteen years, eight installments, and 4 billion-plus dollars in, the series that began as a lean little bullet of a B-movie has become a delirious, seemingly undefeatable box-office beast. And with great horsepower comes great responsibility: The need not just for speed, but for heavy-metal set pieces that crunch and crash and soar beyond shock and awe; cinematic jumper cables applied directly to the cerebral cortex (and sometimes, it feels like, the kidneys too).
Grady Hendrix’s The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires could be the next big thing.
After Rosario, keep an eye out on director Felipe Vargas.
Salvable is a story about decision, not redemption.
