The Love That Remains (2025) 95% B+ EDIT “Shot on 35mm film, The Love That Remains not only looks picturesque, but offers viewers an affectless view of its characters, not as they want to see themselves, but as their emotions dictate.” – AV Club Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Return to Silent Hill (2026) 18% 2.5/4 EDIT “Gans’ sequel delivers more of the same, so it likely won’t impress anyone who doesn’t already enjoy getting lost in the fog.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 23, 2026 Full Review All You Need Is Kill (2025) 83% 3/4 EDIT “Studio 4°C remains the best reason to see 'All You Need is Kill’; the animators pack so many enriching details into their adaptation that even the most incidental scene feels consequential. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 16, 2026 Full Review My Neighbor Adolf (2022) 44% 2/4 EDIT “It’s still sometimes nice to be reminded of how much value a talented ham like Kier can be, like when he wiggles his shoulders as Herzog teases Polsky about Kastenbrunner’s sex appeal. ... the rest of the joke could stand a little workshopping.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) 77% 1.5/4 EDIT “The problem with this new 'Silent Night, Deadly Night' isn’t that it tries something different, but that its creators didn’t follow through on their gonzo impulses.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% 3/4 EDIT “The film not only has a more involved story, but also features more engaged filmmaking throughout, with more camera setups and visual brio.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Troll 2 (2025) 58% 2/4 EDIT “‘Troll 2,’ a sequel to the crowd-pleasing 2022 Norwegian giant creature feature, doesn’t have nearly enough action, monster-related or otherwise, to justify its existence. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 1, 2025 Full Review King Ivory (2024) 71% 1.5/4 EDIT “It’s flat, it’s grey, and it only satisfies if you want a sad, familiar mess to look down on. ” – RogerEbert.com Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Baahubali: The Epic (2025) 100% 2.5/4 EDIT “‘Baahubali: The Epic' may not deliver a better edit or experience, but it does highlight what was already great, especially once it settles into a groove following a ten-minute intermission break. ” – RogerEbert.com Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Queens of the Dead (2025) 83% 3/4 EDIT “A few heavy-handed stabs at commentary aside, 'Queens of the Dead' gets by with good, flirty cheer.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Mr. K (2024) 79% 2/4 EDIT “There's not much to 'Mr. K' beyond its second-hand surrealism and strained counter-mythmaking.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Prisoner of War (2025) 67% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film may sometimes deliver what you hope for, but it’s an otherwise sloppy outing for Adkins, who by now should expect more from himself and his audience.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Night of the Living Dead (1990) 57% EDIT “The remake has a sense of purpose that goes beyond mere blank pastiche.” – Slant Magazine Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Dreams (2024) 90% 2/4 EDIT “‘Dreams’ winds up leading viewers to feel both mildly implicated and overwhelmingly frustrated as Johanne’s narrative gradually veers from questions about what really happened to Johanne to why we care in the first place.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 13, 2025 Full Review The Toxic Avenger (2023) 87% 3/4 EDIT “Because as lumpy and unpredictable as Blair’s “The Toxic Avenger” may sometimes be, he still gets that the key to making a good Troma homage is to do as the title of Kaufman’s DIY filmmaking guidebook commands: 'Make Your Own Damn Movie!'” – RogerEbert.com Aug 29, 2025 Full Review War 2 (2025) 30% 3/4 EDIT “The film succeeds not by breaking with established formulas, but by doing more to fill them out” – RogerEbert.com Aug 18, 2025 Full Review Eli Roth Presents: Jimmy and Stiggs (2024) 63% 2/4 EDIT “The film is a slick wallow into a cranked-up, self-destructive headspace that frequently over-compensates for what it lacks in plot and character development with sheer vigor and volume alone.” – RogerEbert.com Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Osiris (2025) 50% 2.5/4 EDIT “It’s never surprising nor smooth enough to warrant more than qualified praise, but “Osiris” will make you sit up and ask: 'Wait, who made this?'” – RogerEbert.com Jul 25, 2025 Full Review The Banished (2024) 2/4 EDIT “Unfortunately, “The Banished” deflates spectacularly once it becomes more about its doomed characters’ inevitable fate.” – RogerEbert.com Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Abraham's Boys: A Dracula Story (2025) 40% 1.5/4 EDIT “As airless and underdeveloped as its source material, which is now stretched thinner to accommodate a raft of superficial developments. ” – RogerEbert.com Jul 15, 2025 Full Review The Sound (2025) 8% 1/4 EDIT “All promise and little follow-through, “The Sound” prepares viewers for action scenes that are eventually too broken up, both visually and dramatically, by underwhelming anecdotes and overcompensating lingo. ” – RogerEbert.com Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Sex (2024) 86% 2.5/4 EDIT “It’s hard to understand how a romantic drama about tolerance could be so tone-deaf and ungenerous.” – RogerEbert.com Jun 13, 2025 Full Review The Gardener (2025) 2/4 EDIT ““The Gardener” suggests that Van Damme still doesn’t know how to both give his audience what they want and show off his range.” – RogerEbert.com Jun 7, 2025 Full Review Tornado (2025) 66% 2.5/4 EDIT “Your enjoyment of “Tornado” depends on how much you want to root for thinly drawn characters who don’t look strong enough to carry an entire movie.” – RogerEbert.com May 30, 2025 Full Review The Surrender (2025) 85% 3/4 EDIT ““The Surrender” accomplishes a lot with a sketch-sized story and matching compositional agility and precision. It’s short (less than 90 minutes!) and sweet and the best kind of upsetting.” – RogerEbert.com May 23, 2025 Full Review
