GODZILLA x KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE (2024)

I’ll gladly wolf down the cavity-causing junk food “Godzilla x Kong” entertainingly sloshes out with its ludicrously conceived ladle.

STING (2024)

“Sting” delivers spider-centric chills like Joe Dante does horror, except with more entertainment-minded wickedness than family-friendly whimsy.

FOUNDERS DAY (2023)

How someone who sees this in a theater or without a notepad can keep everyone and their relationships straight, I have no idea.

ABIGAIL (2024)

If you want to see impossible amounts of blood explode crimson colors like the world’s worst version of a gender reveal, well, “Abigail” at least has that.

ARCADIAN (2024)

The hook of Nic Cage in a Walking Dead wasteland is just a lure to pin people into a stripped-down drama about two brothers reconciling their differences.

INFESTED (2023 - French)

“Infested” will probably be more commonly classified as a “creature feature,” though I’d say it’s more of an interesting twist on the “siege thriller” formula.

IMMACULATE (2024)

Those who wait it out should agree “Immaculate’s” fat-free 80 minutes hits the Goldilocks sweet spot for a satisfying serving of twisted entertainment.

LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL (2023)

It is moderately compelling in the moment, but it has a hard time holding up to even cursory scrutiny as far as believable “found footage” concepts go.

STOPMOTION (2023)

Some slow-burn dramas favor the slow. Some favor the burn. “Stopmotion” very much belongs in the former category.

BAGHEAD (2023)

The movie builds an immersive world inside a small space capable of sucking in anyone glamoured by its witchy cinematic spell.

MONSTER MASH (2024)

Known for his Tarantino tough guys, Michael Madsen is about as appropriately cast as Dr. Frankenstein as Don Knotts would have been for Don Corleone.

FROGMAN (2023)

Leaning into its inherent silliness might have allowed “Frogman” to come up out of the B-movie basement it belongs in.

MADAME WEB (2024)

Whatever “Madame Web” was supposed to be once upon a time could only be better than the hodgepodge of hokum this dippy disaster is.

IMAGINARY (2024)

What if the overdone horror trope of a child’s imaginary friend turning out to be an evil entity was needlessly stretched into a 100-minute feature?

YOU'LL NEVER FIND ME (2023)

Everything comes down to whether you can become enmeshed in the minor mystery and how much of an effect the moderately macabre mood has on you.

LISA FRANKENSTEIN (2024)

As much as I wanted to see "Lisa Frankenstein” slam it out of the park, the movie only taps a squibber through the infield on this swing.

THE WOMAN (2011)

“The Woman” chews on challenging commentary about toxic masculinity and antiquated gender roles through a story that’s bitter, tense, and brutal.

OFFSPRING (2009)

The thin narrative is nothing more than a setup for slaughter as “Offspring” becomes a canvas for creating a nihilistic horror show of savage brutality.

I.S.S. (2023)

It’s funny that the original poster proclaims “Only in Theaters” when everything about “I.S.S.” screams “straight-to-streaming” from the get-go.

DARIO ARGENTO PANICO (2023)

It’s not a meal on its own. It’s a low-calorie dessert topping for diehards who have already feasted plentifully on Dario Argento’s filmography.

HELL HOUSE LLC ORIGINS: THE CARMICHAEL MANOR (2023)
Aug 1, 2025

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.

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.

ASH (2025)

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

DARK MATCH (2024)

“Dark Match” got me thinking. How did I handle B-movie believability when I was younger? What was the criteria for suspension of disbelief?

DESTROY ALL NEIGHBORS (2024)

“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
