Send Help (2026) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Raimi clearly relishes getting to operate in his classic wheelhouse and embrace a lot of his favorite elements. Send Help is a dark delight for those willing to go along for its R-rated ride. ” – Laughing Place Jan 26, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “At one point, a character describes something as being both strange and glorious, which is a pretty apt description of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple itself. It's the best installment in the series so far.” – MovieWeb Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 79% 7/10 EDIT “If you buy a ticket for one killer chimpanzee movie this year, this one delivers the goods. It has fun set pieces, a great-looking animatronic costumed killer chimp, and applause-worthy gore for those of us who like when our horror gets messy.” – IGN Movies Jan 10, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “There's a lot of reasons to not like Marty, but the way Timothée Chalamet plays him and Josh Safdie directs the film, it's impossible to not be drawn into wanting to see what he'll do next. ” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% EDIT “If you like Rudd and Black, Anaconda is a harmless trifle that isn’t a bad way to pass the time over the holidays, given its "amusing enough" nature. But it also feels like a missed opportunity to do something more wild and clever with its meta narrative.” – Fangoria Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) 77% EDIT “This remake does a commendable job of taking the same basic set-up of the original and then doing something very different with it, without losing sight of what inspired this version.” – Eric Goldman's Cultured Pop (Substack) Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% EDIT “Whether you are seeing it as a self-aware movie having fun with cliches, or you feel like you're laughing AT it, I think you'll still have a really good time with it.” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “Even though it's going through the motions, it's going through the motions for James Cameron making an Avatar movie, so that still puts it on a higher pedestal than a lot of motion picture experiences.” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006) 100% 5/5 EDIT “There is something really fantastic about watching this story presented in this manner that crystallizes what an accomplishment Kill Bill is and deepens the experience.” – MovieWeb Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% 4.5/5 EDIT “Most of all, Zootopia 2 works as well as it does because it continues to make such good use of Nick and Judy.” – MovieWeb Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Among several missteps, it’s up to the lead duo of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande to keep the audience invested. Fortunately, that’s a task they are well-suited for.” – MovieWeb Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Trap House (2025) 52% 2/5 EDIT “Dave Bautista is dependably solid in the film, but it’s in service of a role and storyline that never feels worth investing in.” – MovieWeb Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% EDIT “Just like her character, Tessa Thompson becomes the center of every room she enters, giving a career best performance in her reunion with Nia DaCosta.” – Eric Goldman's Cultured Pop (Substack) Nov 12, 2025 Full Review If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) 92% EDIT “Rose Byrne expertly grounds Linda so that she feels both fully formed and worth investing in, even when she’s at her worst.” – Eric Goldman's Cultured Pop (Substack) Nov 12, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% EDIT “In Your Dreams is a charming and sweet film, boasting an empathetic older sister/little brother dynamic between its two leads.” – Eric Goldman's Cultured Pop (Substack) Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “Del Toro’s take on Mary Shelley’s classic novel is appropriately operatic, with a ton of great flourishes that make this very familiar story still feel vibrant.” – Eric Goldman's Cultured Pop (Substack) Nov 12, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% EDIT “I liked this new version of The Running Man though I wanted to love it because Edgar Wright directed it. You don't quite feel his presence as much as I'd like to. ” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 6/10 EDIT “Another amusing but disposable installment of an amusing but disposable series.” – IGN Movies Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Badlands upends the standard dynamic from what we’re used to in a Predator movie. The end result is a hell of a lot of fun, shifting the series into more of a thrilling adventure vs. its usual horror vibes in a way that is ultimately quite satisfying.” – MovieWeb Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Violent Ends (2025) 67% 2.5/5 EDIT “Violent Ends plays things very straight and serious. And yet, it invites a certain glibness, because it also can’t help but fall into clichés it's never able to subvert. ” – MovieWeb Oct 31, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% 3/5 EDIT “Despite an earnest attempt at tackling difficult subject matter anchored by a great central performance, Urchin doesn’t quite hit its mark by the end, succumbing to some plot conveniences and overly artsy flourishes.” – MovieWeb Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% EDIT “A sequel that manages to both continue the story with the same characters yet also feels like it's doing something different thanks to its atmospheric winter setting and newly supernatural villain. ” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Oct 15, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% EDIT “I wish TRON: Ares dug deeper on the subject of AI and that it didn't star Jared Leto, and yet it's ultimately a fun film with spectacular visuals and an awesome soundtrack, and has more energy than the first two installments.” – Eric Goldman (YouTube) Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Bone Lake (2024) 84% EDIT “Director Mercedes Bryce Morgan manages to maintain an appropriately uneasy yet also darkly funny tone, as we see things begin to spin out of control and ponder just what exactly is going on here. ” – Eric Goldman's Cultured Pop (Substack) Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Shell (2024) 63% EDIT “A very messy movie that starts out strong and then fails to deliver in the long run. Things begin to unravel as the film continues and the tone gets more outlandish.” – Eric Goldman's Cultured Pop (Substack) Oct 3, 2025 Full Review
