BAG BOY LOVER BOY (2014)

“Bag Boy Lover Boy” is what happens when a sleazy exploitation thriller impregnates an experimental arthouse indie.

DEMONS (2017)

A heavy emphasis on contemplative conversations keeps it calm, which isn’t an exciting way for a supernatural thriller to win over a crowd.

COLD MOON (2016)

While “Cold Moon” is not at all a total loss because of or in spite of its oddness, nearly everything about it is a little bit “off” in some way.

THE BASEMENT (2017-I)

What really ends up lost in translation is the film’s entire cinematic language for sensibly spinning a scary story.

AGAINST THE NIGHT (AMITYVILLE PRISON) (2017)

I’ll cut straight to the chase by curbing instincts to cut loose with sarcasm and simply say, “Against the Night” is not an entertaining thriller.

THE HATRED (2017)

A sudden sprint to end credits leaves an impression that “The Hatred” would willingly settle for “meh” when a bump in effort might have yielded more.

TEMPLE (2017)

The final cut to black comes so abruptly, you’ll swear it can’t really be the end, even though you’ll welcome the merciful fact that it is.

PARANORMAL SEX TAPE (2016)

It’s like someone shot random footage of a woman walking around and writhing naked on a bed, and was dared to cut that content into a coherent story. That’s a dare lost, by the way.

THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM (2017)

While it may not work as a whodunit, the movie satisfies as an immersive period piece punctuated by brief bits of ghastly gruesomeness.

THE MUMMY (2017)

“The Mummy” hits more of a bloop single into right field: good enough to get on base, not so much for driving in a go-ahead run.

BEYOND THE TREK (TELEIOS) (2017)

For good or for bad, “Beyond the Trek” is reminiscent of the syndicated sci-fi TV boom in the 1990s.

THE ATONING (2017)

Unless you find creaking floors and slowly opening doors to be spooky, you’re in for one excruciatingly uneventful movie.

JACKALS (2017)

“Jackals” has external appeal as a moderately frightening thriller, but not enough depth for scant scary movie satisfaction to last very long.

GHOST HOUSE (2017)

“Ghost House” is a standard vengeful ghost yarn whose only unique draw is the Thailand backdrop behind its setting and mythology.

DEATH NOTE (2017)

Maybe this isn’t the “Death Note” that diehards desire.  But maybe it’s the “Death Note” that makes the most sense for the mainstream.

CLOWNTERGEIST (2017)

For a film made with favors from friends and couch cushion change, “Clowntergeist” sinks more buckets than it misses.

CIRCUS KANE (2017)

While you won’t be imploring friends to vault it to the top of their watch lists, “Circus Kane” works well enough for empty calorie entertainment.

STARSHIP TROOPERS: TRAITOR OF MARS (2017)

As straightforward sci-fi, “Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars” hits the right notes for an action-packed animated adventure, even if it is predictable.

ANTI MATTER (2016)

Its integrity as a smart story and inventiveness as a motion picture make its overachieving attitude all the more endearing.

This is one time that the mighty Mr. Wan forgot to take off his glove before applying his usual Midas touch.

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.

IN THE LOST LANDS (2025)
May 20, 2025

Putting everyone’s pedigrees together, it’s amusing, strange, or sad (choose your own term) to see these names slumming it in a B-movie filmed in front of a green screen in Poland.

DROP (2025)

DROP (2025)

The tagline says, “Everyone’s a suspect,” but that’s not true. The primary suspect can only be the one actor most people have previously heard of.

THE MONKEY (2025)

“The Monkey” cheerily and cheekily revels in this brand of B-movie schlock, though it always does so with hyper-stylized shocks.

BORDERLINE (2025)

Samara Weaving earns top billing and the most minutes onscreen, but “Borderline” is really a greater showcase for Ray Nicholson.

    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
