DARK CRIMES (2016)

“Dark Crimes” illustrates what it looks like when a star knows he picked a poor project, but is contractually obligated to expend minimal effort anyway.

REVENGE (2017)

“Revenge” wants to dare you to see it as shallow just so it can shame you through sheer force of cinematic style.

ANON (2018)

“Anon” encases its monotone mystery in a drab setting whose dourness only amplifies the script’s dullness.

FAMILY BLOOD (2018)

The film’s exhausting dullness hooks lifelessly draining melodrama into an IV of incredibly anemic horror.

GEHENNA: WHERE DEATH LIVES (2016)

Were someone to ask my opinion of “Gehenna: Where Death Lives” in civilian circumstances, I’d mumble “meh” and move on.

PRIMAL RAGE (2018)

This review may not be worth much now, but it should be handy to have when we need a memory jog to distinguish this flat flick from every similar Sasquatch-related thriller.

THE RANGER (2018)

There is a subtly inebriated haze flavoring the film with an intentionally weird wooziness, like the birth of a buzz following the first two beers.

BATMAN NINJA (2018)

The head-on collision of Eastern and Western pop culture composes a disorienting kaleidoscope of eclectic action and eccentric spectacle.

DOWNRANGE (2017)

“Downrange” takes a demented detour into a bonkers final third by going for broke with midnight movie moxie.

READY PLAYER ONE (2018)

“Ready Player One” is the entertainment equivalent of cotton candy: consumed more for the nostalgic flavor than for its actual taste or nutritional value.

#SCREAMERS (2016)

“#Screamers” suffers from a severe real estate problem.  Namely, it has 81 minutes worth of space and only ten minutes of content with which to fill it.

VAMPIRE CLAY (2017 - Japanese)

By creatively incorporating a carefully calculated amount of weirdness, “Vampire Clay” hits a sweet spot of satisfaction between fun and freaky.

GHOST STORIES (2017)

“Ghost Stories” features a freshly novel concept for framing an anthology, where the bookends ingeniously motivate each piece of the movie.

GONJIAM: HAUNTED ASYLUM (2018 - Korean)

“Gonjiam” is a virtual ‘Greatest Hits,’ or ‘Worst of’ depending on perspective, featuring every cliché “found footage” has to offer.

WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE (2018)

Kept taut using a duo of dialed in performances and a nearly relentless rhythm, the movie satisfies with straight razor suspense.

WILDLING (2018)

To populate an “it’s like” equation for “Wildling,” one could describe it as “Room” meets “Raw,” except with werewolves instead of cannibals.

MARROWBONE (2017)

“Marrowbone” feels like a motion picture made for your mother’s book club to mull over with a glass of rosé and charcuterie spread.

THE DIRECTOR AND THE JEDI (2018)

The documentary is an entertainingly insightful, just broadly basic, look at the impressive effort that goes into envisioning an epic.

THE TITAN (2018)

It’s fitting that Sam Worthington, perhaps the most vanilla male lead to ever front a movie, headlines “The Titan,” which basically boils down to being a flavorless film.

THE FIELD GUIDE TO EVIL (2018)

While some of these experiments go up in a puff of smoke, cinematic sincerity shines through independent of each piece’s success or failure.

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

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

    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
