FILM REVIEW: THE ASSENT (TORONTO AFTER DARK FILM FESTIVAL)
THE ASSENT amassed quite a lot of interest after its creepy poster and trailer were unveiled. As goes with most films, you have to exercise some degree of caution when looking at a film’s promotional materials as they can be misleading. The movie that was dubbed “the scariest film at
