THE LAST HOUSE (2026)

If your favorite part of “The Martian” was watching Matt Damon grow a potato, “The Last House” will please you with plenty more montages of indoor farming.

EVIL DEAD BURN (2026)

SOULM8TE (2026)

Viewers will see the plot’s pieces sitting in plain sight in the form of Chekhov’s remote cabin, Chekhov’s electronic necklace, even Chekhov’s vacuum cleaner.

DOCTOR JEKYLL (2023)

The straightforward path isn't as creatively intriguing as a road where an edgier alternative might have taken the movie.

RENFIELD (2023)

"Renfield" handles chaotic fight scenes and domestic drama with much more panache than it handles the hammy humor and formulaic plot points.

BACKROOMS (2026)

“Backrooms” brings out the buried dread of being unconsciously trapped in an oppressive environment that slowly melts a mind into compliant complacency.

PASSENGER (2026)

Fitting the textbook definition of an average thriller, “Passenger” seems like ordinary “quota” work to fill in a mandatory line on a corporate spreadsheet.

OBSESSION (2025)

On top of outstanding acting and unnerving shocks, “Obsession” has attracted so much attention because of how universally resonant it can be.

HUNGRY (2026)

THE BRIDE (2026)

“The Bride” is what an experimental film looks like when it’s crafted by longtime Hollywood professionals deciding to do something without a complete blueprint.

DEEP WATER (2026)

Emerging as average fodder for some streaming service’s black hole of common content, it’s generous to score “Deep Water” down the middle at 50/100.

MORTAL KOMBAT II (2026)

The good news for fans of 2021’s “Mortal Kombat” is the same as the bad news for anyone who didn’t care for that first film: “Mortal Kombat II” is more of the same.

BUFFET INFINITY (2025)

The experience feels a lot like flipping through late-night TV at a time when loud guys in cowboy hats and blinking 1-800 numbers dominated ad breaks.

LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY (2026)

As a mummy movie, “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” is decidedly meh.  As a demonic possession movie, “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” is still mostly mediocre.
