Although it’s not the Hasbro horror movie some seem to think, “Hungry” gets in, get out, and gets its job done.

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.

Damian McCarthy’s third feature “Hokum” shows the filmmaker fine-tuning his personal formula for disturbing descents into darkness even further.

Between the interactive experience and the passive one, the most immersive, meaningful, and memorable of the two is the movie.

“Dolly” never sets out to be more than a sleaze-soaked shocker in the first place. With that as its sole goal, the movie has merit.

Like Houdini with handcuffs, “Overlord” possesses the skillful showmanship to fight free from its drawbacks and overwhelm with pleasing popcorn entertainment.
