Eli (2019) 52% EDIT “ELI doesn't always work, and you'll spend a lot of the first half rolling your eyes, but after those last ten minutes, you definitely won't be sorry you watched it.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2019 Full Review Sator (2019) 89% EDIT “It's scary and sleepy and utterly strange, a dusky little dream of a film that no one on earth could make but Jordan Graham.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2019 Full Review Scare Package (2019) 80% EDIT “It's charmingly aware of the tropes that make up the genre it cherishes, and it leans into them with heart, blood, entrails and laughs.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2019 Full Review Blood Quantum (2019) 90% EDIT “The film's a bit plodding and all over the place at times, but when it's good, it's great - emotionally affecting, fun and gory as hell.” – Slashfilm Sep 14, 2019 Full Review The Platform (2019) 81% EDIT “Starvation, cannibalism, heinous violence and no small amount of feces aside, THE PLATFORM makes spending time in The Pit a pretty intriguing enterprise.” – Slashfilm Sep 12, 2019 Full Review Harriet (2019) 74% EDIT “Cynthia Erivo gives an incredible turn, and while the film it's in doesn't quite match it, her performance alone would be enough to make HARRIET mandatory viewing.” – Slashfilm Sep 11, 2019 Full Review Saint Maud (2019) 92% EDIT “SAINT MAUD's a marvelous thing in its own right but also a thrilling invitation to follow this filmmaker wherever she dares to take us next.” – Slashfilm Sep 11, 2019 Full Review Bad Education (2019) 94% EDIT “The stakes are high, the story's juicy, the performances are terrific, but the film never crosses over into must-watch territory.” – Slashfilm Sep 11, 2019 Full Review The Goldfinch (2019) 24% EDIT “Crowley's film remains true to the heartbreaking beauty of Tartt's story in the most important of ways.” – Slashfilm Sep 10, 2019 Full Review A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) 95% EDIT “It would be easy for Heller to rest on Hanks' laurels, but A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD has so much more on its mind than one tremendous lead performance.” – Slashfilm Sep 10, 2019 Full Review High School Musical (2006) 67% EDIT “The direction, by Footloose choreographer and Gilmore Girls director Kenny Ortega, has about as much depth as you'd expect from a Disney Channel original movie, but the film's energetic and lively.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 10, 2019 Full Review DeadTectives (2018) 75% 5/5 EDIT “Deadtectives offers a groovy, free-wheeling energy that dips back and forth between scary and funny with shocking ease.” – Bloody Disgusting Jul 16, 2019 Full Review The Art of Self-Defense (2019) 83% EDIT “Like FIGHT CLUB, THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE is about the draw and the downfall of prizing masculinity above all else, but it's both far less self-serious and less self-congratulatory than Fincher's film.” – Slashfilm Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Possum (2018) 88% EDIT “An ambitiously unpleasant and gorgeously stark film shot on 35mm.” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 15, 2019 Full Review The Curse of La Llorona (2019) 26% EDIT “Everything's just so half-baked and lazy here, the direction and especially the storytelling.” – Slashfilm Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Open 24 Hours (2018) 45% EDIT “This is not a subtle movie, which works when we're talking gore, but works less when the film's trying to build suspense.” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 15, 2019 Full Review The Nightingale (2018) 87% EDIT “It's a breathtaking success by a director who could have made anything after the success of her first horror feature, and who decided to make a bloody but contemplative period piece with no easy answers.” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 15, 2019 Full Review The Lodge (2019) 75% EDIT “Every choice in this film - every frame, every performance, every sound and edit - is crafted for utmost discomfort, making for a relentless onslaught of unease.” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Memory: The Origins of Alien (2019) 81% EDIT “What makes MEMORY an absolutely crucial entry in the about-ALIEN canon is the way it lovingly demonstrates the alchemical creative process among O'Bannon, Scott and artist H.R. Giger.” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019) 54% EDIT “Its distance from the woman whose story inspired the film keeps it from becoming something more substantial.” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Velvet Buzzsaw (2019) 61% EDIT “This movie is so preposterous, so profoundly weird, just hilarious and merciless and black-hearted from beginning to end.” – Slashfilm Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Don't Let Go (2019) 42% EDIT “Relive is a high-concept thriller that wisely places its characters above its concept, and it works all the better for it.” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Sweetheart (2019) 95% EDIT “It's a beautiful and exhilarating film with an extraordinary leading performance and one hell of a big bad.” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Stuber (2019) 43% EDIT “Depending on how you feel about action comedies of the '80s and '90s (I'm for 'em), STUBER might hit just the right nostalgia chord for you, though the jokes are freshened up for 2019.” – Slashfilm Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Little Monsters (2019) 79% 4/5 EDIT “Amid all the gore and the silliness, the characters - not the gags - drive this story, and that's why it'll stay with audiences longer than the typical fun but forgettable zombie romp.” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 1, 2019 Full Review
