Y2K (2024) 42% EDIT “If you're a fellow appreciator of the awkward sweetness of Mooney's "Inside SoCal" sketches and the way in which they embraced the dumb but could also be surprisingly poignant, then Y2K sits comfortably within that same space.” – Fangoria Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Heart Eyes (2025) 78% EDIT “(HEART EYES' ideas) feel topical, particularly in this era where sexual expression and freedom seem so often at odds with prudishness, and religious and politically backed repression. All I’m saying is, Jason and Freddy never got hit with a dildo.” – Fangoria Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Merry Little Batman (2023) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Merry Little Batman has every potential to become a new festive favourite: a delightful Bat-gift that will have viewers longing for future holiday specials featuring Little Batman.” – Empire Magazine Dec 18, 2023 Full Review Skinamarink (2022) 73% 3/5 EDIT “It’s an unsettling Rorschach test with a haunting ending that will settle in the pit of your stomach like a stone. But it can be a polarizing experience that pushes the limits of patience.” – Empire Magazine Jan 28, 2023 Full Review Day Shift (2022) 57% B EDIT “Sometimes all you need is Jamie Foxx in a Hawaiian shirt and Snoop Dogg as a cowboy, slaughtering hundreds of vampires with swords, shotguns, gatling guns, garlic grenades, and decapitating roundhouse kicks.” – AV Club Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Prey (2022) 94% A- EDIT “The long-running Predator franchise finally has an entry that can stand as an equal to the original film, precisely because it narrows its focus on the story elements that matter dramatically, instead of unnecessarily expanding the franchise’s mythology.” – AV Club Aug 4, 2022 Full Review Firestarter (2022) 10% D EDIT “A waste of a talented cast and crew that somehow, against all odds, makes the 1984 film seem like a staggering achievement in the realm of King adaptations.” – AV Club May 13, 2022 Full Review Hatching (2022) 93% B+ EDIT “An unsettling and surprisingly humorous foray into body horror and learned behavior.” – AV Club Apr 27, 2022 Full Review The Cellar (2022) 31% C- EDIT “What made the short film so effective—the universality of a concept that reaches back to our primitive fears of the dark—Muldowney trades for a baggy foray into paranormal activity bookended by two strong short films.” – AV Club Apr 18, 2022 Full Review 7 Days (2021) 86% B+ EDIT “A genuine exploration of love and loneliness through the lens of a culture frequently depicted through the lens of traditional values and arranged marriages.” – AV Club Mar 24, 2022 Full Review
