28 YEARS LATER (2025)

No matter what a viewer gets out of the movie, there’s an inescapable sense that its disparate parts are still missing key pieces.

BRING HER BACK (2025)

“Bring Her Back” shows an emerging pattern that’s definitively establishing Danny and Michael Philippou as unique cinematic storytellers.

ABRAHAM'S BOYS (2025)

The subtitle “A Dracula Story” only makes sense if you have a liberal interpretation of what “Dracula” means in this context.

DANGEROUS ANIMALS (2025)

A fast-food meal of moderately entertaining suspense that’s easy to eat, if relatively plain-tasting, in a quick 95-minute wrapper.

HELL HOUSE LLC ORIGINS: THE CARMICHAEL MANOR (2023)

Under Margot's directive, the trio sets out for a familiar "found footage" adventure that's heavy on the familiar but light on the adventure.

HELL HOLE (2024)

Taking it as another step in expanding their filmography, the movie becomes more fascinating as insight into the Adams Family's creative advancement.

WHERE THE DEVIL ROAMS (2023)

"Where the Devil Roams" must be a disorienting experience for anyone whose first exposure to the Adams Family comes from Tubi.

M3GAN 2.0 (2025)

“M3GAN 2.0” should be much more fun than it is. On paper, the details powering its premise probably sounded like a real riot.

THE CROW (2024)

There's nothing intriguing about watching Eric track down and slaughter stuntmen instead of exacting a deserving vendetta against distinct villains.

PLEASE DON'T FEED THE CHILDREN (2024)

There’s nothing overwhelmingly “wrong” with the movie. There’s nothing overwhelmingly original about it either.

THE RITUAL (2025)

Stop yourself before you’re tempted to watch “The Ritual,” an interminably stiff and entirely derivative bore.

FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES (2025)

Like how audiences snicker at the ludicrous logic of an atomic monster movie, “Final Destination: Bloodlines” is wild in the best way possible.

SPEAK NO EVIL (2024)

The 2022 film offers a fuller, more fear-filled and eerily lingering experience than this made-for-the-masses 2024 incarnation ever does.

FRANKIE FREAKO (2024)

A charming chunk of cheddar that taps into the warm, fuzzy, and fugly feelings that make many of us nostalgic for the crude creature features of our youth.

CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD (2025)

Little snickers are few and far between, so there’s never an overwhelming sense that the movie is aware of how cliched everything is.

PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS (2025)

Amid all the swordplay, tracer fire, and bloodshed, it’s easy to lose sight of how much authentic motivation drives the stakes beyond simple survival.

UNTIL DAWN (2025)

“Until Dawn” manifests a mishmash of hairless wendigos, spontaneous combustion, and a witch watching television, but it’s all cliched clutter.

FEAR STREET: PROM QUEEN (2025)

It seems silly for older eyes to dock points for “Fear Street: Prom Queen” being the flighty fright flick its DNA genetically engineers it to be.

ROSARIO (2025)

ASH (2025)

“Ash” shows more promise for Flying Lotus’s filmmaking future rather than impressing as an early career highlight to be repeatedly revisited.

“Destroy All Neighbors” benefits from a precise calibration of a viewer’s mindset beforehand, preferably influenced by that person’s vice of choice.

    COCAINE BEAR is like an exploitation era B-movie you'd enjoy at the drive-in, but backed by Hollywood studio money… https://t.co/9DKd9qB6JG
