Lucky (2020) 93% EDIT “With its roots planted firmly in the socially conscious themes all the best horror derives from, Kermani's film tackles the epidemic of women's abuse at the hands of men, be it mental, physical or emotional.” – Screen Queens Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Violation (2020) 88% EDIT “Violation is a powerful exercise in vulnerability and violence and essential addition to the rape revenge canon that should be studied meticulously in future horror film academia.” – Screen Queens Apr 3, 2021 Full Review Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street (2019) 100% EDIT “Scream, Queen is a fast and loose look at an important milestone for LGBTQ+ representation in horror but is ultimately a story about one man's journey from a targeted individual to a welcoming activist.” – Screen Queens Dec 22, 2020 Full Review The Beach House (2019) 81% EDIT “It definitely has something going for it.” – Screen Queens Jul 13, 2020 Full Review Exit Plan (2019) 40% EDIT “Though impeccable in its audio-visual executions, Exit Plan sits too much on the fence of such an essential and contemporary taboo.” – Screen Queens Jun 23, 2020 Full Review 1BR (2019) 89% EDIT “Packing some shocking punches and offering moderate commentary on the lengths people will go to for success, 1BR is a disturbing cult horror updated for the 21st century.” – Screen Queens Jun 22, 2020 Full Review Diablo Rojo PTY (2019) 70% EDIT “Diablo Rojo PTY is a freaky ride to hell with its toes dipped firmly in the fascinating folklore and cultural icons of Panama.” – Screen Queens May 21, 2020 Full Review The Wretched (2019) 74% EDIT “The Wretched is an easy watch and for the most part well-paced to keep a focused attention, but ultimately the multiple relationship conflicts within Ben's story are a huge distraction...” – Screen Queens May 21, 2020 Full Review Blood Quantum (2019) 90% EDIT “Clunky need to please gore-hounds and whack out some sickening make-up effects aside, Blood Quantum is a terribly exciting piece of work.” – Screen Queens May 7, 2020 Full Review Tito (2004) 67% EDIT “Something in the mannerisms, daring soundscape and off-the-wall energy of Glowicki and Petrie's pairing is completely charming and its ultimately encouraging just to see such weird women-made projects get made.” – Screen Queens Feb 21, 2020 Full Review The Father's Shadow (A Sombra do Pai) (2018) 89% EDIT “For fans of big scares, The Father's Shadow will leave little to be impressed by, but as a simmering family drama with supernatural elements, the film bears some considerable emotional heft and spooky visuals.” – Screen Queens Feb 14, 2020 Full Review Daniel Isn't Real (2019) 84% EDIT “[its] destination often feels undecided, but backed by terrific performances from the entire cast and some nightmarish ideas, Mortimer delivers an initially understated psychological horror that morphs into something much more monstrous.” – Screen Queens Feb 14, 2020 Full Review The Turning (2020) 12% EDIT “There's a lot of these bump in the night moments though, each one less original than the last.” – Screen Queens Feb 6, 2020 Full Review Radioflash (2019) 0% EDIT “Radioflash is a film at war with its own ideas, its central themes in conflict with one another and its plot spiralling out in complexity as film progresses.” – Screen Queens Nov 20, 2019 Full Review The Furies (2019) 71% EDIT “The Furies game of cat and mouse is hardly a wildly original tale, but the sheer volume of its participants makes for some seriously entertaining horror.” – Screen Queens Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Tales from the Lodge (2019) 47% EDIT “Coming in at just over 90 minutes, it's a surprise that Tales from the Lodge feels so crawlingly long for a film split down into multiple bite-size sections.” – Screen Queens Oct 16, 2019 Full Review Low Tide (2019) 72% EDIT “Low Tide knows where it came from but adequately avoids succumbing to nostalgia. Instead, Kevin McMullin paints a darker portrait of the forgotten youth of the Jersey Shore that is as violent as it is strangely charming...” – Screen Queens Oct 4, 2019 Full Review Harpoon (2019) 97% EDIT “It gets gross, and it gets weird. While its gore can be stomach-churning in pretty much every instance it is on display, the dark humour remains the most brilliantly sick part” – Screen Queens Oct 3, 2019 Full Review After Midnight (2019) 90% EDIT “This isn't so much a film about a doomed relationship, its about holding yourself accountable and saving yourself first.” – Screen Queens Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire (2019) 14% EDIT “Hell House LLC is far from a terrible offering. When its good, its skin-crawlingly terrifying, but when its bad its like a student film with a Marvel mindset of 'world expansion'.” – Screen Queens Sep 26, 2019 Full Review Riot Girls (2019) 90% EDIT “Vuckovic revels in displays of punk, anarchy and androgyny through a fun sci-fi splatter story that exacerbates the already extreme mindsets of teenagers where every small decision is life or death...” – Screen Queens Sep 17, 2019 Full Review One Cut of the Dead (2017) 100% EDIT “One Cut of the Dead doesn't even have to attempt anything new with traditional zombie lore, but the ingenious way its story is told is a revitalisation worthy of praise.” – Screen Queens Sep 16, 2019 Full Review Madness in the Method (2019) 30% EDIT “It seems that in this sense, perhaps Mewes would have been better off in making his debut about someone other than himself...” – Screen Queens Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Feral (2019) 100% EDIT “With its staggeringly beautiful cinematography of down-and-dirty New York and a layered central performance, Adam Wonder's debut feature is a complex and dynamic look at social outliers and how we find the means to survive.” – Screen Queens Aug 27, 2019 Full Review Luz (2018) 88% EDIT “Impressive in both its visuals and sound design that echoes off the highest points of 70s Giallo, Luz still manages to feel entirely unique.” – Screen Queens Aug 16, 2019 Full Review
