HERE AFTER (2024)

Arguably admirable in its thematic intentions, it's harder to argue that "Here After" is ever eerie, exciting, or entertaining.

SUBSERVIENCE (2024)

Plowing through every routine plot point imaginable, the movie is a laughable erotic thriller that's barely erotic and hardly thrilling at all.

MILK & SERIAL (2024)

At a time when so many indie horror hucksters are still shoving "Amityville" into their titles, it's inspiring to see Curry Barker putting in real work with an original effort.

TRAP (2024)

While Cooper desperately searches for an escape route, viewers desperately need to put disbelief into a deep freeze, because preposterous developments pile up in a hurry.

THE DEMON DISORDER (2024)

"The Demon Disorder's" creeps mostly come quietly while the movie squares its spotlight on sibling melodrama.

THE DELIVERANCE (2024)

It's in poor taste at best and irresponsible at worst to pin the blame on an imaginary being than the true causes of domestic violence and impoverished living.

LONGLEGS (2024)

A movie so soaked macabre mystique, it sounded like you'd risk damning your soul to the darkest depths of Hell just by daring to watch it.

CONSUMED (2024)

Viewers are left to gnaw on the skeleton of an emaciated thriller without much meat on its sun-bleached bones.

ODDITY (2024)

"Oddity's" wooden man should join the "Talk to Me" hand and "Mister Babadook" pop-up book among the top props in modern horror iconography.

WE ARE ZOMBIES (2023)

Compromises must have been made, leaving "We Are Zombies" to let its potential evaporate while coming up short as comedy and as horror.

THE BEAST WITHIN (2024)

“The Beast Within” aligns itself much closer to a thematic drama focused on troubled family ties than a midnight movie bursting with beasts and bloodshed.

STARVE ACRE (2023)

Not since “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” has a genre movie’s title inspired such an accurate impression of the film’s contents as “Starve Acre.”

THE MOUSE TRAP (2024)

They didn’t do anything with the “Steamboat Willie” concept except slap a Mickey Mouse mask on some guy and call it a day.

MAXXXINE (2024)

It works as a captivating creeper, I’m just not sure what “MaXXXine” really has to say once its B-movie bloodshed is all said and done.

A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE (2024)

What begins as an introspective arc of an emotionally devastated person rediscovering her will to live becomes a broader story about connecting with others.

GODZILLA MINUS ONE (2023 - Japanese)

Affecting for its thoughtful context and entertaining for its gripping thrills, “Godzilla Minus One” is just about as good as Godzilla gets.

THE PRIMEVALS (2023)

“The Primevals” is the closest a monster kid will come to experiencing a “new” Full Moon film that feels like the imaginative oddities from the company’s heyday.

THE FIRST OMEN (2024)

With a free-rolling camera and provocative score full of unholy operatic shrieks, the film snatches its haunting style right out of the 1970s.

THE INHERITANCE (2024)

Perhaps the only thing capable of eliciting a louder “uh oh” is discovering Netflix passed on a project already in their pipeline, which is what happened here.

THE EXORCISM (2024)

The movie is less about a haunted film set and more of a character study exploring a shattered psyche trying to be pieced back together.

THE DREADFUL (2026)
Feb 23, 2026

Too slow to ever reach a burn, “The Dreadful” doesn’t have many logs capable of catching fire in the first place, let alone a spark to ignite them.

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S 2 (2025)

Evidently, “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” was made for TruFans™ who would rather spend the movie repeatedly reenacting the Leonardo pointing meme.

PREDATOR: BADLANDS (2025)

It’s a better idea to lighten up on the outrage and enjoy “Predator: Badlands” for its high value as an action-intensive outer space adventure.

Although it leaps off a compelling springboard, “The Carpenter’s Son” lands in a shallow pool in search of more commanding material.

I can't recommend "Curse of the Clown Motel,” but I can recommend a trip to the actual Clown Motel and its surrounding town of Tonopah, Nevada.
