Primate
(2025)
|
Perri Nemiroff
|
Practical creature work at its finest, and some top tier gore. Primate is a hugely successful swing-for-the-fences wild time. An excellent start for the horror genre in 2026.

Obsession
(2025)
|

Obsession is the complete package - a fantastic original concept, well earned laughs, a significant amount of tension, and some downright stellar set pieces. It also features what’s already bound to be one of the very best performances of 2026.

Wicked: For Good
(2025)
|
Perri Nemiroff
|
The mix of the film being a beautiful journey of being changed for good but also one that acknowledges the power of public perception and how hard it can be to change it, even when it’s based on lies, gives For Good a significant amount of staying power.

Predator: Badlands
(2025)

I don’t think I’ll ever get over the fact that we have a Predator film that’s essentially an alien and robot buddy movie. It’s so refreshing to see a film franchise dish out something so unexpected.

Black Phone 2
(2025)
|
Perri Nemiroff
|
Black Phone 2 is well connected to the first, but it really soars as a sequel by having its own style & definition. Derrickson & co. pull that off very effectively via the new location, having Gwen & Finney work together, and how they evolve the Grabber.

Nobody 2
(2025)

|
Nobody 2 is a hollow sequel that doesn't live up to the original's excitement, director Timo Tjahjanto's past works, or Bob Odenkirk's first take on an aging killer with family problems.

Zach Cregger’s direction is staggeringly assured, and that’s a big reason why this storytelling structure plays so fluidly, and why he’s able to land such an ambitious concept. Undoubtedly a favorite ending of 2025 - if not of all time.

The new I Know What You Did Last Summer rocks a stellar new core ensemble and there is some praiseworthy narrative ambition, but few of those storytelling big swings work and its killer reveal is a total bust.

James Gunn is doing what he does best with superheroes ... it's cartoonish but not goofy, unsubtle with its themes but never corny. Superman genuinely inspires hope, and nails what it means to be a crowd-pleaser.

This is a big movie, but one of its best qualities is how focused and intimate it feels. An ideal summer blockbuster-style ride — a riveting and highly entertaining thrill with just enough meat on its bones to add to the evolving themes of the franchise.

28 Years Later

Not only is 28 Years Later well worth the wait, but the story benefits from the lengthy gap between installments. It delivers big with Rage Virus-sparked tension and action, but also takes an unexpected turn that's staggeringly refreshing and effective.

Not only does Bloodlines scratch the itch the original started - the twisted thrill of what happens when you get caught up in death’s design - but it does so by putting a genius spin on the lore, one that well serves its high concept and its characters.

It's a two-act movie. I never felt the swell of a triumphant third-act climax. The superteam elements develop on fast-forward and what's skipped over is detrimental to the film's emotional core.

A brilliantly twisted & wildly entertaining way of exploring codependent relationships. It's a story that demands leads who can do it all — comedy, bonkers horror & then some. Dave Franco and Alison Brie can do it all, and this movie soars because of it.
