28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
(2026)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
The Bone Temple more than rises to occasion of meeting its predecessor, it stretches beyond without fear of distorting into the grotesque. It relishes in violence and gore, indulges in the bizarre (and, frankly, humorous)...

Good Boy
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
Good Boy is one of those impossible instances of cinematic kismet. A rare, incredible alignment of intentional visual storytelling, intimate themes of loss and vulnerability, and the absolute perfect performer to embody everything this film needed.

Black Phone 2
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
In spite of Black Phone 2’s sophistication in cinematography and effects, this sequel hits as somewhat juvenile. ... Not only does Black Phone 2 belong in a different subgenre than The Black Phone... they don’t even feel like they should share a franchise

Mārama
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
Marama is, simply, rich. Rich in its remarkable costuming, aesthetics, and production design. Rich in its execution of all the finest traditions of gothic horror. Rich in its multi-layered horror of confronting the ghosts and monsters of colonialism.

Dolly
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
Without its own point of view, Dolly is diminished to the status of a damn good impression of a previous golden age in horror.

Bad Haircut
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
Bad Haircut is a love letter to genre cinema (really to cinema, in general) that delights in the bizarre.

Obsession
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
Barker’s debut foams at the mouth and snaps at the end of its leash in an ideal balance of brutality and restraint.

Vicious
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
While certainly mean-spirited, Vicious has nothing else to offer its audience. All the visceral horror is just noise without a human connection. All the delicious intrigue of good lore is wasted without (at least some) answers.

Appofeniacs
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
Piliero’s ability to squeeze humanity out of “the worst” shows such a core of empathy and it’s what keeps Appofeniacs from spinning out into just another brutal genre film.

The Cramps: A Period Piece
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
The Cramps: A Period Piece is the stuff of technicolor, cult movie fantasies. John Waters sensibilities meets the horror greats of the 1960s and 70s. ... Beneath the wit, hairspray, and cheeky cinematography is a warm, gooey center of sincerity.

The Ice Tower
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy

Meandering threads and a plodding pace are to blame for a so-so sum, made up of so many striking parts.

Caught Stealing
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
Big action sequences. Big stars. Big humor. By no means does Caught Stealing break new ground or blaze to the upper echelons of its genre — but it’s a damn good time at the movies.

Weapons
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
It is a film that understands, at the molecular level, what it is to be uncomfortable, how that discomfort turns to tension, and where tension snaps into terror and hysteria. Fascinating to the very end and satisfying in its final breaths...

Hellcat
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
Hellcat completely defies expectations! It flips genre conventions on its head to tease out a horror that is more thriller than gore-fest.

Hold the Fort has a fantastical quality that is a perfect match of its scrappy effects and intimate cast.

Eddington
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
In times as strange as these, it’s only natural to want to portray fractured American reality with full attention given to every batshit facet. The regrettable reality is that even-handedness often translates to toothless.

Superman

Not since Christopher Reeve has Superman been portrayed with such humanity and heart and Corenswet is as worthy a successor as the character’s legacy could hope for.

In a Violent Nature
(2024)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
In A Violent Nature is a rare treat within a very crowded subgenre. ...Expert craftsmanship meets a provocative approach, with plenty of gut-twisting kills to please horror fans of all sorts. An essential watch.

28 Years Later
(2025)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
28 Years Later is zombie horror at its highest vibration. Gore and grit collide with moments of profound emotion and zany imagination to offer up a viewing experience that is so viscerally human.

Final Destination Bloodlines
(2025)

Final Destination: Bloodlines is a love letter to its fans, a worthy installment in this franchise’s proud lineage, and a fitting farewell to a horror legend.

Dogma
(1999)
|
Caitlin Kennedy
|
Some might argue that Dogma lacks the polish of other films in Smith’s filmography — again, criticisms of its more juvenile humor are common. I would counter that it only adds to the film’s humanity. The divine can withstand a little humor and simplicity.

Clown in a Cornfield doesn’t reinvent the wheel, when it comes to killer clowns. It takes the tropes for a joyride.

Mickey 17
(2025)

Caitlin Kennedy
|
Bong Joon Ho is a master emotional manipulator, tugging at any and every heartstring available to ground his criticism of capitalism despite the sometimes-slapstick humor of Mickey 17.

The Rule of Jenny Pen
(2024)

Caitlin Kennedy
|
The Rule of Jenny Pen takes the inherent creepiness of nursing homes to its most horrifying conclusion, squeezing every drop of helplessness out of the narrative.
