"Silent Hill" is Stephen King’s "Carrie" on steroids.

The Testament of Ann Lee
(2025)

Sarah Vincent

This film’s commitment to immersing moviegoers into the lived experience of the early Shakers will not appeal to most but is nonetheless powerful and impressive.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
(2026)
|
Sarah Vincent

If DaCosta is brilliant, it is for knowing how to remain faithful to the story and let Fiennes swan around as much as he wants. He transforms some truly astonishing and dangerous scenes into pure comedy

"Sheepdog" is at its strongest when it does not treat Calvin as if he is auditioning for a slot as a contemporary gender bended Tess of the D’Urbervilles.

Director and cowriter Ryan Prows, cowriters Tim Cairo, Jake Gibson and Shaye Ogbonna never met a good idea that they did not smother to death with bad or mediocre ones.

Dead Man's Wire
(2025)
|
Sarah Vincent
|
Van Sant should be praised for finally giving a voice to Hall, but he also buys the script that Kiritsis cast himself in as an underdog voice of the people sick of not being able to get ahead. It is a "Falling Down" (1993) for the twenty-first century

Dead Man's Line
(2018)

Sarah Vincent

True crime devotees will probably devour it in one gulp. It is one of the highest quality true crime documentaries because there is only probably a few seconds of B-roll evocative smoke and mirrors.

may not be every person’s cup of tea with its fast pace, lengthy run time and distasteful subject matter, but it is the work of a master who makes the path and does not follow. It is worth it even if you normally avoid movies with subtitles.

It is rare for me to find movies focused on little boys interesting, and this movie did not escape the gravity of my personal tastes, which has happened. A movie can be good, but not for me.

We Bury the Dead
(2024)

Sarah Vincent
|
If "Annihilation" (2018) meets the "28 Days Later" franchise, you would get "We Bury the Dead" (2024) so if you watch too many movies, keep it pushing, but if you are new to the zombie game, come onboard.

The Voice of Hind Rajab

Ben Hania smartly restricts herself to the recordings to avoid getting into a political dispute and keep the question simple: should a little girl or emergency responders be in danger for so long regardless of what is going on around them?

While the acting is uneven, the special and practical effects are shaky, and the story is over the top, it still adds up to a timeless horror classic that is more fun than the most recent, verging on soulless reboot.
