The Home (2025) 29% 3/5 EDIT “A wickedly wacky fun time, eventually; Pete Davidson was built for this kind of splatter movie silliness.” – HeyUGuys Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Your Host (2025) 71% 4/5 EDIT “About as good as Saw clones get, with a fascinatingly bleak and tragic lead turn from Jackie Earle Haley.” – HeyUGuys Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Bone Lake (2024) 84% 4/5 EDIT “Both a very well-observed horror of manners that very cleverly unpicks the sexual politics of long term relationships, and just a big, bloody crowdpleaser. ” – HeyUGuys Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Redux Redux (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “The most unique and exciting revenge thriller you’ll probably see for a while. As edgy and action-packed as it is clever and subversive.” – HeyUGuys Aug 26, 2025 Full Review The Toxic Avenger (2023) 87% 5/5 EDIT “A lovingly crafted, extremely niche, surprisingly expensive-looking cult comedy with a totally killer gag-rate — the best possible new big screen outing for one of the weirdest and most nonsensical characters around.” – HeyUGuys Aug 26, 2025 Full Review Strange Darling (2023) 96% 5/5 EDIT “The most exciting, electrifying genre movie of the year, with a once-in-a-generation turn from a truly fearless Willa Fitzgerald.” – HeyUGuys Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Shelby Oaks (2023) 55% 4/5 EDIT “Pacy, clever, and most importantly, creepy as all hell; Shelby Oaks both is and isn’t what you’re expecting, announcing Chris Stuckmann as a very promising new voice in horror.” – HeyUGuys Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Ghost Game (2024) 60% 2/5 EDIT “Fairly unsatisfying as far as haunted house chillers go, and deeply frustrating in how many promising leads it squanders.” – HeyUGuys Aug 28, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Blunt, garish, disgusting, unlikeable, bloated and downright nasty. Which is exactly why you should see it as soon as possible. ” – HeyUGuys Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Azrael (2024) 71% 3/5 EDIT “Another bloody ball of a revenge flick for Weaving an co., although one lacking the pomp and depth to really make a mark and hit as hard as it wants to. ” – HeyUGuys Aug 28, 2024 Full Review The Dead Thing (2024) 83% 4/5 EDIT “A delicately built ghost story that deftly drills into the millennial condition, and how easy it’s become to be invisible in the 21st-century.” – HeyUGuys Aug 28, 2024 Full Review The Invisible Raptor (2024) 70% 4/5 EDIT “A joyously silly, sure-fire crowd-pleaser of an (invisible) monster movie, elevated above simple parody by careful direction, clever writing and an incredibly likeable cast.” – HeyUGuys Mar 11, 2024 Full Review Wake Up (2023) 69% 3/5 EDIT “Effective and fun enough as an IKEA-set slasher, with a standout killer in Turlough Convery. But misses making any real point about its Gen Z activists.” – HeyUGuys Mar 11, 2024 Full Review Suitable Flesh (2023) 84% 3/5 EDIT “Lynch does Gordon, sort of. Lovingly inspired by the 80s golden age of splatter, but lacking the suitable fleshiness to deliver horror in the same league. Fun for fans, but otherwise frustratingly toothless.” – HeyUGuys Aug 29, 2023 Full Review River (2023) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Another endlessly exciting, gorgeously staged time-loop caper from this team, but one which plays a little too closely to their earlier success story Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes.” – HeyUGuys Aug 29, 2023 Full Review Enter the Clones of Bruce (2023) 100% 4/5 EDIT “A zippy, smartly-cut story of the absolute moral depths the film industry can sink to, all while forming a genuinely heartfelt love letter to kung fu genre movies.” – HeyUGuys Aug 29, 2023 Full Review Founders Day (2023) 50% 3/5 EDIT “Yes, it’s hugely derivative to the point of basically just being a cheap re-working of Scream. But it’s also a consistently fun and smartly-shot whodunnit, with plenty here to keep horror fans engaged (and possibly even asking for a sequel).” – HeyUGuys Aug 29, 2023 Full Review Where the Devil Roams (2023) 100% 4/5 EDIT “A gorgeously grubby, micro-budget marvel of a minimalist genre movie. Dark and weird and tremendously gnarly and affecting” – HeyUGuys Aug 29, 2023 Full Review Barbarian (2022) 92% 5/5 EDIT “It's simple - Barbarian is the best horror film of 2022. If you’re a genre fan, won’t find a wilder ride this year, guaranteed.” – HeyUGuys Sep 12, 2022 Full Review Amulet (2020) 73% 4/5 EDIT “It's a confident, incredibly striking debut for Garai. Amulet is a commited, complex and genuinely surprising horror film.” – HeyUGuys Nov 8, 2021 Full Review The Sadness (2021) 88% 3/5 EDIT “A bottomless pit of nastiness and suffering; one meant only to revel in the obscene and the blackest of black. An achievement, but not a nice one, nor one that it feels particularly kind to recommend.” – HeyUGuys Aug 31, 2021 Full Review Slapface (2021) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Clever, often cruel, but categorically grown-up filmmaking to its core, and Kipp and his team deserve a bright future in genre-adjacent storytelling like this.” – HeyUGuys Aug 31, 2021 Full Review Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes (2020) 99% 5/5 EDIT “The absolute apex of the micro-budget form. Ingenuity on a new level.” – HeyUGuys Aug 31, 2021 Full Review Demonic (2021) 14% 2/5 EDIT “Despite all the bright-eyed new concepts, Demonic is just not interesting to watch, and much too derivative to warrant a recommendation.” – HeyUGuys Aug 27, 2021 Full Review The Old Ways (2021) 97% 4/5 EDIT “A smart, slender little exorcism thriller with plenty of bang for its buck, and a lot to say about cultural and personal identity.” – HeyUGuys Mar 5, 2021 Full Review
