1992 (2024) 65% EDIT “Despite a solid cast including the late Ray Liotta, 1992 achieves neither of its genres’ thrills particularly well nor can it mesh them together effectively. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Starve Acre (2023) 81% EDIT “A capably creepy and atmospheric slow burn, this Brit folk horror film sticks a little too closely to the script. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Thelma (2024) 98% EDIT “For all its family and friendship drama, Thelma becomes genuinely gripping during its thriller sequences, and June Squibb imbues every low-key mundane action with an infectious sense of adrenaline and derring-do. ” – Spectrum Culture Jun 26, 2024 Full Review In a Violent Nature (2024) 79% EDIT “Shot with a distant coldness and divorced from a bombastic soundtrack, In A Violent Nature mines suspense from its killer's trudging treks. ” – Spectrum Culture May 31, 2024 Full Review Mars Express (2023) 100% EDIT “Jérémie Périn’s animated thriller confidently shifts from strength to strength until a quietly affecting finale, amplifying familiar themes and well-trodden personalities into genuinely engaging consequences and characters. ” – Spectrum Culture May 9, 2024 Full Review The Roundup: Punishment (2024) 91% EDIT “The Roundup: Punishment refreshingly evokes the movie star-dominated era of yore, where a lead and their distinct qualities could elevate formula beyond familiarity into unique entertainment. ” – Spectrum Culture May 7, 2024 Full Review The Wages of Fear (2024) 20% EDIT “Purely as a new rendition of its namesake, The Wages of Fear might as well be an exercise in anti-tension. ” – Spectrum Culture Apr 4, 2024 Full Review One-Percent Warrior (2023) 85% EDIT “An often messy and very meta bone-snapper from established veterans, One-Percent Warrior has lightning-fast moves but a thin story. ” – Spectrum Culture Mar 13, 2024 Full Review Land of Bad (2024) 66% EDIT “A familiar war story with a modern twist, Land of Bad provides a gripping, efficient and ruthless look at the realities and surrealness of today's battlefields. ” – Spectrum Culture Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Mayhem! (2023) 81% EDIT “In spite of its grueling gory hand-to-hand thrills or all the Bangkok underbelly grittiness, this is first and foremost a saga of a desperate father and husband. ” – Spectrum Culture Jan 8, 2024 Full Review A Creature Was Stirring (2023) 50% EDIT “While smartly relying more on its performance and chemistry than creature carnage or gore (although what’s here is suitably grisly), A Creature Was Stirring can’t overcome the limitations that constantly undercut the promise of its title. ” – Spectrum Culture Dec 13, 2023 Full Review Vengeance: Rise of the Footsoldier (2023) 67% EDIT “The sixth installment in this under-the-radar British crime saga doesn’t work miracles, but does manage a taut, brutal and confident showing. ” – Spectrum Culture Dec 4, 2023 Full Review Monster (2023) 97% EDIT “With his latest film, Hirokazu Kore-eda and Yûji Sakamoto clearly wield the classic nesting-doll structure of Rashomon not to dissect or ferret out truth, but as a guiding hand toward one important truth. ” – Spectrum Culture Nov 28, 2023 Full Review The Marsh King's Daughter (2023) 40% EDIT “Carried by a solid cast, The Marsh King’s Daughter tackles its intriguing premise in a competent fashion but never rises above the level of Lifetime thriller. ” – Spectrum Culture Nov 6, 2023 Full Review Divinity (2023) 57% EDIT “Equally eccentric sci-fi arthouse and bleak dystopian headtrip, Divinity is one of the most uniquely fresh cinematic experiences of the year. ” – Spectrum Culture Oct 18, 2023 Full Review V/H/S/85 (2023) 75% EDIT “Despite abrupt pacing and awkward structures, there’s plenty of creative, grisly, and chaotic terror to enjoy. ” – Spectrum Culture Oct 12, 2023 Full Review Satanic Hispanics (2022) 89% EDIT “The uneven quality and tonal gaps that often come with horror anthologies can’t diminish Satanic Hispanics’ wealth of talent, impressive effects, and varied tales. ” – Spectrum Culture Sep 18, 2023 Full Review Dead Shot (2023) 70% EDIT “Charles and Thomas Guard’s Troubles-era film has its share of decently-executed action to match those impressions, yet reveals itself to be a surprisingly sturdy and cynical revenge thriller first and foremost. ” – Spectrum Culture Aug 22, 2023 Full Review Cobweb (2023) 58% EDIT “Its B-movie charms might win over the crowd with a taste for videostore-backshelf genre diamonds in the rough. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 26, 2023 Full Review The Flood (2023) 37% EDIT “The Flood is a blend of cops-and-crooks action and animal attack horror that unfortunately isn’t adept at either facet. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 18, 2023 Full Review The Channel (2023) 67% EDIT “The Channel is William Kaufman’s most handsome, most well-crafted and most dramatically investing thriller yet. ” – Spectrum Culture Jul 17, 2023 Full Review God Is a Bullet (2023) 24% EDIT “Cassavetes’ latest juggles grisly revenge and shattered faith against an urban underbelly backdrop, but that can only go so far opposite a pace and plot that creeps between effective moments. ” – Spectrum Culture Jun 23, 2023 Full Review Extraction 2 (2023) 80% EDIT “Whether one wants to see Hemsworth snapping necks, Farahani shredding foes in a knife fight or to just soak in minutes of bruising and bullet-riddled choreography, Extraction 2 delivers in ultra-violent blockbuster fashion. ” – Spectrum Culture Jun 21, 2023 Full Review The Wrath of Becky (2023) 89% EDIT “Come for the satisfaction of alt-right assholes dying spectacularly; cringe at the rest. ” – Spectrum Culture May 30, 2023 Full Review Fist of the Condor (2023) 100% EDIT “There’s something compelling here, whether it’s the uniquely Chilean riff on genre formula or just its action star’s energy radiating as he broods and demolishes foes. ” – Spectrum Culture Apr 5, 2023 Full Review
