Coyotes (2025) 59% 3.5/5 EDIT “Director Colin Minihan leans into the chaos. ” – TV Fanatic Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Night of the Reaper (2025) 80% 3.25/5 EDIT “Taps into that 1980s isolation and spins it into a small-town nightmare.” – TV Fanatic Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Freud's Last Session (2023) 43% 3.25/5 EDIT “The performances are impeccable, and the idea behind the film is well-intentioned. If it had stayed the course and followed the conversation from beginning to end, it would have been something to behold.” – TV Fanatic Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Ms. Christmas Comes to Town (2023) 3/5 EDIT “Niven has played mom to so many characters across the Hallmark universe. While they usually have their own story arcs, Ms. Christmas Comes to Town allows her to step away from her role as mom.” – TV Fanatic Oct 27, 2023 Full Review Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Something New (2023) 4.5/5 EDIT “Something New had to re-establish all of the characters we've known so well and their relationships for it to make sense. Although they have quite different styles of acting, it was very easy to believe that this Aurora was the Ro we'd come to know.” – TV Fanatic Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Gasoline Alley (2022) 22% 3/5 EDIT “ Get the popcorn out and dive into Drake's vision. It might surprise you.” – TV Fanatic Aug 15, 2022 Full Review The Whole Lot (2022) 3.75/5 EDIT “The Whole Lot is a refreshing take on the family drama genre. The ambitious story lives well beyond its budget under Rickman's direction and promises that his days of self-funding may be over.” – TV Fanatic Aug 8, 2022 Full Review Not Okay (2022) 71% 2.5/5 EDIT “Hopefully, whoever watches Not Okay will think about the Rowans of the world and take what she says in the chapter titled "Finale" as the strong message that is meant to be received, even if it's oddly perched on a movie that doesn't earn it.” – TV Fanatic Aug 2, 2022 Full Review Locked In (2021) 44% 2.75/5 EDIT “Locked In is not entirely successful, but you'll be looking over your shoulder the next time you're in a storage facility.” – TV Fanatic Jun 25, 2022 Full Review Movie Money Confidential (2022) 3.25/5 EDIT “The topic and how it's covered is well worth your time. Who knows, maybe the next movie I review will be yours.” – TV Fanatic Jun 11, 2022 Full Review Beneath the Banyan Tree (2021) 3.75/5 EDIT “Beneath the Banyon Tree is filmed beautifully and carves a space in your heart that you won't soon forget.” – TV Fanatic Apr 22, 2022 Full Review Crabs! (2021) 80% 3.75/5 EDIT “Crabs! is long on laughs, love, and proof that heroes can come from the most unexpected places.” – TV Fanatic Mar 5, 2022 Full Review Single Mother by Choice (2021) 80% 3.25/5 EDIT “Single Mother By Choice is a personal study of what it takes to welcome a life into the world and an intimate look at the strength needed to pull off.” – TV Fanatic Dec 13, 2021 Full Review Implanted (2021) 3.25/5 EDIT “[Michelle] Girolami acts well beyond expectations.” – TV Fanatic Nov 16, 2021 Full Review Overrun (2021) 57% 3.25/5 EDIT “Overrun is an enjoyable action-crime-adventure flick that suggests this won't be the first of its such from the talented team.” – TV Fanatic Oct 22, 2021 Full Review We Had It Coming (2019) 3/5 EDIT “The title We Had It Coming speaks to the collective we, as a society in the United States, who should brace for a reckoning that will come if we don't change course, respecting women without marginalizing them, as is their (our) right.” – TV Fanatic Sep 17, 2021 Full Review Marathon (2021) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Entertainment has embraced political correctness to its detriment, and Marathon tosses it to the wind.” – TV Fanatic Aug 11, 2021 Full Review The Return (2020) 3.75/5 EDIT “The Return has a unique path, which effectively mixes genres, swinging adeptly between horror and sci-fi.” – TV Fanatic Aug 11, 2021 Full Review 12 Mighty Orphans (2021) 62% 3.75/5 EDIT “Roberts' solid direction gives 12 Mighty Orphans a slightly grittier Disney-esque feel.” – TV Fanatic Jul 18, 2021 Full Review This Is Not a War Story (2021) 100% 4.5/5 EDIT “What This Is Not A War Story achieves is as remarkable as it is sobering.” – TV Fanatic Jul 11, 2021 Full Review The Penny Black (2020) 100% 3.75/5 EDIT “This fast and compelling narrative leaves viewers searching for the truth on screen and in their own lives, as the reality of who can be trusted seems just out of reach.” – TV Fanatic Jul 9, 2021 Full Review Fear Street Part Two: 1978 (2021) 88% 4.5/5 EDIT “The Fun Factor of [this trilogy so far] is off the charts with gore galore, credible horror homages, the Fear Street Spirit, and teenage angst, ingenuity, and stupidity for miles.” – TV Fanatic Jul 9, 2021 Full Review Fear Street Part One: 1994 (2021) 84% 4.5/5 EDIT “From the very first frame, Fear Street Part One: 1994 gets your adrenaline pumping, never letting up.” – TV Fanatic Jul 1, 2021 Full Review Wolfgang (2021) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “Longevity is Puck's proudest achievement, and Wolfgang, the film, celebrates it.” – TV Fanatic Jun 23, 2021 Full Review Bad Cupid (2021) 2.75/5 EDIT “Rhys-Davies is a damn good actor, and his presence gives Bad Cupid a bit of gravitas.” – TV Fanatic Jun 13, 2021 Full Review
