Traumatika is a scary movie that will hit harder with casual horror watchers, for horror fans it will feel familiar and not all that scary.

Growing Pains
(2024)
|
Emilie Black

Overall, Growing Pain is a decently made film with some talent involved. Deanna Tarraza is the highlight of the whole film and elevates all her scenes to make the film as a whole an easier and more agreeable watching experience.

Crumb Catcher

Overall, Crumb Catcher is a film that likely appeals to a fairly small audience and one that most folks will likely not want to rewatch again and again.

The Beast to Die
(1980)
|
Emilie Black
|
There is a lot to unpack here, and the film does so quite well. It’s a solid post-war film about the damage of war on people near and far from it and how one may deal with their own damage in the worse ways possible.

Immortal (Ad Vitam)
(2004)

Emilie Black

Immortal is one of those comic book adaptations that took a fully developed universe [...] did its best to try and make it an immortal cinematic experience, but its horribly badly aged computer-generated effects and images are just not on point anymore.

Hellcat
(2025)

Hellcat is a worthy watch for those willing to bypass the predictability of the twists and the one groan-inducing character bit about the lead character. The film has solid performances, some good writing and direction, and solid cinematography.
