28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Amber T If 28 YEARS LATER evoked Boyle’s punk spirit, THE BONE TEMPLE is, as its title suggests, metal AF.

Anaconda (2025) Eric Goldman If you like Rudd and Black, Anaconda is a harmless trifle that isn’t a bad way to pass the time over the holidays, given its "amusing enough" nature. But it also feels like a missed opportunity to do something more wild and clever with its meta narrative.

Dust Bunny (2025) Michael Gingold Fuller deftly tells a child's story in grown-up terms and comes up with a movie that can be enjoyed by adults and older kids alike.

Keeper (2025) Michael Gingold Clearly, this team knows what scares you, and they all work in perfect concert to deliver it.

Queens of the Dead (2025) BJ Colangelo Yet another instance of Katy O’Brian proving that she is one of the most commanding performers currently working today.

Predator: Badlands (2025) BJ Colangelo PREDATOR: BADLANDS is the kind of audacious, whip-smart blockbuster filmmaking that we desperately need these days, where the unique vision of someone who obviously loves making movies is allowed to make the damn film.

Queens of the Dead (2025) Phil Nobile Jr. QUEENS OF THE DEAD is a riotous, fiercely independent feature debut, presenting a shimmering new color in the horror comedy spectrum.

From Beyond (1986) Michael Gingold Comic outrageousness is often more attention-getting than a straight face, but the latter approach pays off in From Beyond, which plumbs deeper than Re-Animator did and pays off in both dramatic intensity and frights aplenty.
Posted Oct 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Frankenstein (2025) Michael Gingold Del Toro now contributes one of the best [adaptations] by going back to the source and translating Shelley’s words to images through his own personal lens.

Bone Lake (2024) Jordan Hoffman Between BARBARIAN and SUPERHOST and THE RENTAL and now BONE LAKE, one thing is clear… just stay at a goddamn Sheraton!
Posted Oct 03, 2025  Edit critic review
Good Boy (2025) Jordan Hoffman The film’s engine runs on vibes instead of a delineated plot, but that’s perfect for a movie like this. A dog, after all, senses things more than they understand. They recognize trouble, they react to trouble. They can’t be bothered with lore.
Posted Oct 03, 2025  Edit critic review
The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) Eric Goldman You get the feeling that we’re only getting this particular movie because a trilogy is what was promised when these films were all shot together, and so they needed to complete this contractually obligated middle installment.

Whistle (2025) Brandon Wainerdi WHISTLE is simple, effective, scary, and fun. What else could you ask for? 
Posted Sep 28, 2025  Edit critic review
Shelby Oaks (2023) Brandon Wainerdi There is an era of Aughts horror, brimming with creepypasta web stories, short-form scary films, and rentable DVD rip-offs and reboots, that hasn’t received the same reverence as other time periods. And Stuckmann plays in that time period well.
Posted Sep 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Black Phone 2 (2025) Brandon Wainerdi It’s a little slower, more deliberately paced than the original, but never feels like a sequel cash grab... a worthy successor that fans of the first one will enjoy.
Posted Sep 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Brandon Wainerdi Its biggest strength is when it charts its own path, allowing it to be a brand new telling of the Santa sicko.
Posted Sep 23, 2025  Edit critic review
The Long Walk (2025) Neil McRobert THE LONG WALK is a major success, and one of the best King adaptations in decades.
Posted Sep 12, 2025  Edit critic review
Requiem for a Dream (2000) Michael Gingold It may be too much for some viewers to take, but no one ever said addiction is pretty. And Aronofsky earns every right to his excesses by making sure audiences feel the loss of humanity instead of treating them like spectators at a freak show.
Posted Aug 25, 2025  Edit critic review
Weapons (2025) Amber T WEAPONS is a film that begs for big screen viewing, not least because you’ll want to see your neighbor’s popcorn go flying once the film delivers its highly-anticipated money shot.
Posted Aug 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Y2K (2024) Richard Newby 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.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Heart Eyes (2025) Richard Newby (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.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
The Ugly Stepsister (2025) Kimberly Leszak It’s an unqualified success; anyone whose hunt for a Prince Charming equivalent ended in heartache, humiliation, or therapy could find cinematic catharsis in THE UGLY STEPSISTER.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Together (2025) BJ Colangelo TOGETHER doesn’t tack on the body horror as some sort of tired gimmick; it’s the cinematic language that this story demands to be told in. The gross-out effects work as well as they do because they match the overwhelming level of emotion.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
The Home (2025) Todd Gilchrist James DeMonaco’s latest not only exudes a constant air of unenthusiastic obligation, but underscores the growing realization that he’s better at coming up with concepts than fulfilling them with a cohesive story.
Posted Jul 25, 2025  Edit critic review
I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) Todd Gilchrist Robinson’s cheeky, self-aware handling of the material keeps the tone buoyant even when, you know, people are getting murdered with a fisherman’s hook.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Todd Gilchrist Jurassic World Rebirth operates in a more classical mode than the interconnected mythmaking of too many modern franchises, as Edwards nakedly wears his influences (and wields his technical virtuosity) to tremendously crowd-pleasing effect.
Posted Jun 30, 2025  Edit critic review
Please Don't Feed the Children (2025) Todd Gilchrist Spielberg demonstrates with this that she has a dexterous understanding of technique, genre convention and emotional nuance.
Posted Jun 27, 2025  Edit critic review
Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror (2019) BJ Colangelo For horror fans (especially white ones), this isn’t extra credit — this is required viewing. If horror is about facing uncomfortable truths, then it’s time to sit back, listen, and learn.
Posted Jun 19, 2025  Edit critic review
28 Years Later (2025) Todd Gilchrist Reunited for the first time in almost 20 years with screenwriter Alex Garland, Boyle and his co-conspirator showcase their shared maturity as storytellers while retaining the scrappy creativity that gave 28 Days Later such a thrilling charge.
Posted Jun 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) Todd Gilchrist Killer of Killers tells three stories that converge into a single epic narrative that not only feels satisfyingly cohesive but further hints at exciting possibilities within the larger Predator universe.
Posted Jun 06, 2025  Edit critic review
Final Destination (2000) Michael Gingold Wong and Morgan have created a nicely chilly entertainment that benefits from sympathetic performances.
Posted May 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Bring Her Back (2025) BJ Colangelo Writhing in the misery of "Bring Her Back" triggers such existential agony and visceral discomfort that it can make the movie feel like an endurance test.
Posted May 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Friday the 13th, Part VI: Jason Lives (1986) Michael Gingold This movie has bigger action to go with its more humorous bent...and Tommy’s quest adds an urgency to the scenes between kills that’s lacking in many of the other Jason adventures.
Posted May 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Friday the 13th -- A New Beginning (1985) Michael Gingold Director/co-writer Danny Steinmann does bring a rude energy to this entry, but there’s a gamy, trashy feeling to the whole thing.
Posted May 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Until Dawn (2025) Michael Gingold This scenario in general is a bit counterproductive, since we know it requires that our heroes all die, and then all come back, over and over, which works against the survival-horror suspense.
Posted Apr 25, 2025  Edit critic review
Dead Mail (2024) Jordan Hoffman There’s some nice packaging to this low-budget project, but the box is a little empty.
Posted Apr 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Sinners (2025) BJ Colangelo Sinners is currently Coogler’s magnum opus, and I can’t help but think he’s only just getting started. This isn’t only one of the best horror films of the year, it’s one of the best films, period.
Posted Apr 10, 2025  Edit critic review
American Psycho (2000) Michael Gingold Bale is spot-on as the movie’s antihero, funny in his narcissism and terrifying in his psychopathic rages.
Posted Apr 03, 2025  Edit critic review
The Woman in the Yard (2025) Jordan Hoffman The Woman in the Yard succeeds (somewhat) due to Deadwyler’s sympathetic performance and Collet-Serra’s knack for sharp camera placement, evocative lighting and the occasional show-off camera move.
Posted Mar 28, 2025  Edit critic review
Control Freak (2025) BJ Colangelo Control Freak bites off more than it can chew at times, but it’s still a feast of ideas worth consuming.
Posted Mar 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Dark Match (2024) Jordan Hoffman This grimy, low budget film will never be accused of being too original, but it’s not dull, thanks to a swift pace and some good performances.
Posted Jan 31, 2025  Edit critic review
Grafted (2024) Jordan Hoffman Sasha Rainbow's debut feature is a queasy launch for the up and coming filmmaker.
Posted Jan 24, 2025  Edit critic review
Presence (2024) Jordan Hoffman A tight, taut 90 minute supernatural drama for horror and Zillow fans.
Posted Jan 24, 2025  Edit critic review
Companion (2025) BJ Colangelo Sleek, savvy, and packed with effective scares, whoever said January was a dumping ground for horror movies is a fool because Companion has set the bar as the best horror film of the year (so far).
Posted Jan 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Nightbitch (2024) BJ Colangelo Nightbitch isn’t afraid to remind the viewer that motherhood begins with an act of violence [...] but it also feels it necessary to constantly remind the audience like a pair of plastic keys clacking in the face of a crying infant in a restaurant.
Posted Jan 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Wolf Man (2025) Michael Gingold Whannell, Tuck and their cast create a tense and affecting scenario wherein what Blake is becoming is not as important as what he is losing, and how long he’ll be able to hold onto his humanity.

Get Away (2024) Jordan Hoffman An amusing entry in the “doomed vacation” genre

Nosferatu (2024) Jordan Hoffman Nosferatu is what a perfect, classic horror movie looks like

Rita (2024) Jordan Hoffman Can a movie be bleak but also beautiful? Jayro Bustamante’s 'Rita' proves the answer is yes.

Heretic (2024) Jordan Hoffman [Heretic] will restore your faith in the “teen girls in peril” genre.
