The subtitle “A Dracula Story” only makes sense if you have a liberal interpretation of what “Dracula” means in this context.

A fast-food meal of moderately entertaining suspense that’s easy to eat, if relatively plain-tasting, in a quick 95-minute wrapper.

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.

Taking it as another step in expanding their filmography, the movie becomes more fascinating as insight into the Adams Family's creative advancement.

"Where the Devil Roams" must be a disorienting experience for anyone whose first exposure to the Adams Family comes from Tubi.

“M3GAN 2.0” should be much more fun than it is. On paper, the details powering its premise probably sounded like a real riot.

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

There’s nothing overwhelmingly “wrong” with the movie. There’s nothing overwhelmingly original about it either.

Stop yourself before you’re tempted to watch “The Ritual,” an interminably stiff and entirely derivative bore.

Like how audiences snicker at the ludicrous logic of an atomic monster movie, “Final Destination: Bloodlines” is wild in the best way possible.

The 2022 film offers a fuller, more fear-filled and eerily lingering experience than this made-for-the-masses 2024 incarnation ever does.

A charming chunk of cheddar that taps into the warm, fuzzy, and fugly feelings that make many of us nostalgic for the crude creature features of our youth.

Little snickers are few and far between, so there’s never an overwhelming sense that the movie is aware of how cliched everything is.

Amid all the swordplay, tracer fire, and bloodshed, it’s easy to lose sight of how much authentic motivation drives the stakes beyond simple survival.

No matter where a personal opinion lands, you still have to tip your cap to an imaginative vision that stays true to pursuing its own path.

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

It seems silly for older eyes to dock points for “Fear Street: Prom Queen” being the flighty fright flick its DNA genetically engineers it to be.

For veteran viewers, if not for the film’s makers, “Rosario” doesn’t include many memorable moments worthy of earning much enthusiasm.

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.

It’s darkly disturbing while being entertaining in a wild way that almost makes you feel conflicted for being amused.
