Misery (1990) 87% EDIT “Misery is highly entertaining, and very funny despite the macabre atmosphere.” – Nerdist Jan 21, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Despite a few creaky moments and some nauseating violence, I had a ball.” – Nerdist Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “I truly hope we get some more Benoit Blanc adventures because Wake Up Dead Man has fully restored my faith.” – Nerdist Dec 10, 2025 Full Review Reflection in a Dead Diamond (2025) 84% 4/5 EDIT “If you let the movie sink into your amygdala, I think Reflection in a Dead Diamond‘s strange magic will win you over. And if you happen to be a big fan of weird old Italian spy movies, all the better.” – Nerdist Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 53% 4.5/5 EDIT “Keeper is not only Osgood Perkins’ best work to date, it’s up there as one of the most interesting and palpable horror films I’ve seen in a while. Go in with an open mind and zero plot expectations and allow it to ooze its way under your dermis.” – Nerdist Nov 13, 2025 Full Review From Beyond (1986) 74% EDIT “From Beyond is a lot of fun.” – Nerdist Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Re-Animator (1985) 88% EDIT “While the movie’s situations are all horrific, the way they’re played and the bonkers-ness of the experiments get laughs. Re-Animator is also incredibly fortunate to have a star-making performance for Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West. ” – Nerdist Oct 15, 2025 Full Review The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 71% 5/5 EDIT “The film has vivid characters and some terrific set pieces, and the tone ably jumps from the more comedic to the more horrific without whiplash. ” – Nerdist Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “Weapons tells a full, terrifying, funny story that continues to baffle even after you know what’s going on. Ambiguous horror at its finest.” – Nerdist Aug 5, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Easily the best Fantastic Four movie (faint praise), and firmly upper tier of recent MCU.” – Nerdist Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Superman is a good movie, a great start to the DCU, that addresses so many timely real-world issues. Legitimately what else could you want?” – Nerdist Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 3.5/5 EDIT “Putting character over spectacle helps Thunderbolts* achieve its goals nicely while never quite reaching for anything greater. But sometimes that’s enough.” – Nerdist Jun 20, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “When 28 Years Later works, I think it’s something close to beautiful.” – Nerdist Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Starman (1984) 83% EDIT “Starman is a rather profound love story. ” – Nerdist May 12, 2025 Full Review C.H.U.D. (1984) 43% EDIT “C.H.U.D. is such a weird, disjointed melange of ideas and executions that there was no way it was possibly going to succeed, but that’s oddly why I think it’s one of the best horror movies of the ’80s.” – Nerdist May 9, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) 62% EDIT “Despite a few cool set pieces, Attack of the Clones really doesn’t hold up, thanks to over-used blue screen and Ewan McGregor wearing a clearly glued on beard and wig. ” – Nerdist Apr 21, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 77% 4/5 EDIT “This is a comedy about horrific, bloody deaths. If that kind of thing makes you laugh, you’ll really enjoy it too.” – Nerdist Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 3/5 EDIT “A solidly fun movie with a really good cast. Thatcher is a captivating screen presence always and Quaid is right in his wheelhouse. ” – Nerdist Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Kraven the Hunter (2024) 15% 2/5 EDIT “Kraven the Hunter is yet another ignominious end for a cinematic universe that never even had one good movie to hang its hat on. ” – Nerdist Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% 4.5/5 EDIT “Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu sits apart as not merely a remake or reimagining but a wholly singular interpretation of a book and film baked into the very fabric of popular culture. ” – Nerdist Dec 3, 2024 Full Review Transformers One (2024) 89% 3.5/5 EDIT “A fun reminder of why we all liked the robots who were more than meets the eye in the first place. It doesn’t touch the artistic crossover heights of Spider-Verse or Mutant Mayhem but that doesn’t mean it isn’t pretty darn great. ” – Nerdist Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% 3/5 EDIT “Gaga doesn’t quite reach the mania that Harley Quinn ought to have but still packs a wallop where it counts. ” – Nerdist Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% 3.5/5 EDIT “Ultimately I was happy with Alien: Romulus, both from a visual and a tension standpoint. ” – Nerdist Aug 14, 2024 Full Review Oddity (2024) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Oddity is scary, mysterious, upsetting, and effecting and I had a big grin on my face when the credits rolled.” – Nerdist Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Hell Hole (2024) 83% 2.5/5 EDIT “ The movie isn’t scary or even particularly exciting. It’s shot more like a comedy than a horror movie but doesn’t have the jokes.” – Nerdist Jul 30, 2024 Full Review
