One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 9/10 EDIT “Is it a crime thriller? Is it political? Is it a comedy? Is it personal? Is it a drama? Is it chaotic or is the trailer just edited to look this way? And the answer to all of these questions is… yes!” – Impression Blend Sep 29, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% 7/10 EDIT “As supernatural horror - it’s nothing you haven’t seen before, it’s pretty formulaic. But if you enjoy the formula - you will enjoy this as well.” – Impression Blend Sep 7, 2025 Full Review Bring Her Back (2025) 89% 9/10 EDIT “It’s unsettling, it’s upsetting, it’s very dark. It’s slow-burn horror that doesn’t spoon-feed you answers, and it’s definitely not for everyone. But “Bring Her Back” isn’t just the scariest movie of the year - it’s also the most heartbreaking.” – Impression Blend May 31, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% 7/10 EDIT “"The Final Reckoning" is not a great movie. But every time a deeply unnecessary flashback showed up on screen I just couldn’t help smiling and feeling nostalgic, even if, maybe it also made me wish I was watching one of those movies instead.” – Impression Blend May 25, 2025 Full Review Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) 92% 7/10 EDIT ““Final Destination Bloodlines” is a gory, fun time, which is ultimately what fans are there for.” – Impression Blend May 16, 2025 Full Review Clown in a Cornfield (2025) 74% 6/10 EDIT “This may not be the best movie of the year or some groundbreaking horror, but I personally am just glad we're having fun with slashers again.” – Impression Blend May 8, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% 10/10 EDIT ““Sinners” is exhilarating, bold, electrifying, tense, sexy, and unforgettable!” – Impression Blend Apr 19, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 52% 7/10 EDIT “Simultaneously violent, heartfelt, and uplifting” – Impression Blend Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% 6/10 EDIT “What surprises me is that a director capable of so much depth and nuance, who can tell a story with patience and finesse, has gone on to make a film like this. ” – Impression Blend Mar 22, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 77% 6/10 EDIT “Is it too much to ask for the movie called “The Monkey” to actually go bananas?” – Impression Blend Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 6/10 EDIT “It’s good, but it’s not great. It’s a dark comedy but it’s not really that funny. It’s a horror thriller but it’s not really that scary. It’s well-paced and has a lot of twists, but it’s pretty predictable.” – Impression Blend Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 48% 4/10 EDIT “Christopher Abbott’s performance does stand out, but I wish the movie would at least remember to have fun with its concept, and aside from a couple of cool moments “Wolf Man” feels bland and forgettable.” – Impression Blend Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% 10/10 EDIT “ “Nosferatu” is one of the best vampire movies ever made.” – Impression Blend Dec 7, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 88% 8/10 EDIT ““Wicked” is fun! It’s a crowd-pleaser, it’s emotional, it’s heartfelt, and it’s definitely a movie you should see on the big screen.” – Impression Blend Nov 23, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 6/10 EDIT “It’s not a bad movie, they’re not bad performances. It’s OK. It’s fine. I guess, it’s mostly good enough. But is this way you want to feel about a big budget historical epic from the director who has previously brought you iconic cinema? Not even close.” – Impression Blend Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 90% 8/10 EDIT “It's a smart thriller that transforms into a horror film as things effectively go from playful to sinister, it isn’t afraid to challenge the viewers’ beliefs, and it knows how to entertain its audience.” – Impression Blend Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% 7/10 EDIT “The College of Cardinals has never looked better or had me more interested in their gossip!” – Impression Blend Oct 24, 2024 Full Review Smile 2 (2024) 86% 6/10 EDIT “Unfortunately, “Smile 2” doesn’t have much else to add to what we already know about the curse or to how it manifests in its victims, instead opting to play things safe, relying way too much on fake outs and jump scares.” – Impression Blend Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% 4/10 EDIT “By the end, it really feels like the joke is on the viewer, and as a viewer I didn’t appreciate that. ” – Impression Blend Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 46% 3/10 EDIT “We now know who among us has been thinking about the Roman Empire the most.” – Impression Blend Sep 29, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% 8/10 EDIT “It’s shocking, it’s crazy, it’s uncomfortable how up close and personal it gets with the camera, it’s violent, it’s darkly funny, and it’s definitely entertaining.” – Impression Blend Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% 7/10 EDIT “Not everything comes together as well as you would hope, and “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” doesn’t exactly reach the heights of the original, but it does recapture some of the magic.” – Impression Blend Sep 8, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% 8/10 EDIT “Fede Álvarez breathed new life into the franchise with “Alien: Romulus”, finding creative ways to use already established, iconic elements of these films, and to once again make facehuggers and xenomorphs the nightmare fuel they were meant to be.” – Impression Blend Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% 8/10 EDIT “A brutal story of revenge, covered in dirt and grime, drenched in guzzolene, and delivered perfectly by its charismatic cast.” – Impression Blend May 25, 2024 Full Review I Saw the TV Glow (2024) 85% 7/10 EDIT “It’s a movie that’s not going to be for everyone although for some it will be very special. It’s not perfect or polished, but that’s also what makes it beautiful.” – Impression Blend May 21, 2024 Full Review
