THRASH (2026)

How will viewers remember the movie? There’s so little of note in “Thrash,” viewers may not remember it at all.

PSYCHO KILLER (2026)

“Psycho Killer” is a generic copycat operating on autopilot from its opening titles all the way through to end credits.

DOLLY (2025)

“Dolly” never sets out to be more than a sleaze-soaked shocker in the first place. With that as its sole goal, the movie has merit.

JIMMY AND STIGGS (2024)

It's reductive, yet not inaccurate, to describe the movie as two grown men excessively arguing in between bouts of wrestling with alien puppets.

THE MORTUARY ASSISTANT (2026)

It’s a low-risk, low-reward course in Horror 101, as taught by a student aide at a community college instead of by a tenured professor at a prestigious university.

SEND HELP (2026)

“Send Help” is a movie meant to be enjoyed for its wildish ride, and there’s no driver better suited to be behind this particular wheel than Sam Raimi.

SCURRY (2024)

“Scurry’s” experiment to disguise a bland B-movie as a one-take thriller bursts every flask in the lab, and there’s no buoy to save viewers from drowning in the drabness.

BODYCAM (2025)

Even with deja vu ringing bells, it’s easy for a horror-minded head to get into the movie’s groove due to its no muss, no fuss efficiency.

COLD STORAGE (2026)

The few and far between fun feels like a fireworks show without music, a holiday, or a sports team victory to give it entertaining context.

THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 3 (2026)

This supposedly preplanned trilogy became a tangled, bloated, inconsistent blob of inconsequential characters, dead ends, and ludicrously lame lore.

WHISTLE (2025)

It would be less hyperbolic to simply say “Whistle” is the most cliché-riddled thriller of 2025 and 2026 at a minimum.

REDUX REDUX (2025)

While the 110-minute runtime could use a trim to maintain more energy, “Redux Redux” is an easy recommend for anyone who enjoys low-key sci-fi.

28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE (2026)

In hindsight, maybe the more muted “28 Years Later” had to walk so the more meaningful “The Bone Temple” could run.

THE DREADFUL (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.

RETURN TO SILENT HILL (2026)

“Return to Silent Hill” makes a messy movie out of confusingly cryptic plotting, excessive digitization, and an underpowered cast wearing bad wigs.

WE BURY THE DEAD (2024)

“We Bury the Dead” doesn’t have enough meat on its bones to land on a list of top ten zombie films for any of its three release years.

PRIMATE (2025)

“Primate” has so much self-aware confidence in its go-for-the-throat style that the film wears its B-movie badges proudly.

THE HOUSEMAID (2025)

Although it takes forever to get there, invested audiences will still be hungry to chew on “The Housemaid’s” savory secret thanks to appealing performances.

DRACULA (2025)

It’s a flashy heap of pure camp from beginning to end, made even more amusing because the movie doesn’t exhibit the self-awareness to realize it.

SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT (2025)

Can an audience even tell if someone is a drifter if he doesn’t wrap fingerless gloves around a cup of coffee poured by a folksy waitress at a greasy spoon?

RENFIELD (2023)

RENFIELD (2023)
July 20, 2026

"Renfield" handles chaotic fight scenes and domestic drama with much more panache than it handles the hammy humor and formulaic plot points.

DEEP WATER (2026)

DEEP WATER (2026)

Emerging as average fodder for some streaming service’s black hole of common content, it’s generous to score “Deep Water” down the middle at 50/100.

LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY (2026)
May 20, 2026
LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY (2026)
May 20, 2026

As a mummy movie, “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” is decidedly meh.  As a demonic possession movie, “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” is still mostly mediocre.

THEY WILL KILL YOU (2026)

THEY WILL KILL YOU (2026)

“They Will Kill You” plays less like a fully-fleshed feature and more like a demo reel for staging stunts and coming up with creative camera movements.
