Misery (1990) Kyle Anderson Misery is highly entertaining, and very funny despite the macabre atmosphere.

3.5/5
Mother of Flies (2025) Tai Gooden Mother of Flies promised an exploration of illness, death, and inexplicable power all wrapped up in an aesthetically pleasing body horror package, and it mostly delivers on that promise.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Kyle Anderson Despite a few creaky moments and some nauseating violence, I had a ball.

5/5
Dust Bunny (2025) Rotem Rusak Dust Bunny is a special movie. It’s not like anything else out there right now, and it’s not like anything else ever. It’s a movie that’s worth your time and attention.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Kyle Anderson I truly hope we get some more Benoit Blanc adventures because Wake Up Dead Man has fully restored my faith.

True Lies (1994) Benjamin Bailey The wit and charm of a fun, goofy cast is embedded in a high-stakes action thriller.

4/5
Reflection in a Dead Diamond (2025) Kyle Anderson If you let the movie sink into your amygdala, I think Reflection in a Dead Diamond‘s strange magic will win you over. And if you happen to be a big fan of weird old Italian spy movies, all the better.

3.5/5
Zootopia 2 (2025) Michael Walsh Like the 2016 original, it works. Because while Zootopia 2 does tread familiar ground, it does so in a way that’s entertaining and moving enough to make it a worthy sequel.

4/5
Rental Family (2025) Michael Walsh We all just want to be seen. This movie fundamentally understands, with clear eyes, why that’s true of all of us, no matter our age, our experiences, or where we come from. And for that reason you should see Rental Family.

4.5/5
The Running Man (2025) Michael Walsh I think it will ultimately work for a lot of doubters on a second viewing. Once you understand what The Running Man is actually saying, and that the unusual way it speaks and why, you’ll appreciate why this excellent film works.

4.5/5
Keeper (2025) Kyle Anderson Keeper is not only Osgood Perkins’ best work to date, it’s up there as one of the most interesting and palpable horror films I’ve seen in a while. Go in with an open mind and zero plot expectations and allow it to ooze its way under your dermis.

3.5/5
Predator: Badlands (2025) Eric Diaz The final result is another winner in a series many had written off years ago.
Posted Nov 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Predator 2 (1990) Benjamin Bailey It’s a solid action movie that moves lightning fast – everything is blowing up with the first minute of the movie – and it makes you want to see more Predator stories.

From Beyond (1986) Kyle Anderson From Beyond is a lot of fun.
Posted Oct 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Re-Animator (1985) Kyle Anderson While the movie’s situations are all horrific, the way they’re played and the bonkers-ness of the experiments get laughs. Re-Animator is also incredibly fortunate to have a star-making performance for Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West.

4/5
TRON: Ares (2025) Michael Walsh By spending less time in the grid and making a more serious film, the franchise’s third installment also loses some of its wonderful silliness. But it doesn’t lose all of it. In some wonderful spots, it fully embraces it.
Posted Oct 07, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
V/H/S Halloween (2025) Tai Gooden Generally speaking, V/H/S Halloween is a fun and entertaining watch. It’s a bit all over the place and messy in some aspects, but there’s a little something for just about every kind of horror fan.
Posted Oct 06, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
The Smashing Machine (2025) Michael Walsh A well-disguised, hollow hagiography hiding behind a great Dwayne Johnson performance.
Posted Sep 25, 2025  Edit critic review
5/5
Black Phone 2 (2025) Amelia Emberwing Where The Black Phone was a story of survival, Black Phone 2 is one of reclaiming and growing into your own power.

HIM (2025) Tai Gooden Justin Tipping’s HIM tackles our religious allegiance to football, unsettling hero worship, sacrifice, and identity crisis in a surrealist thriller and warning siren wrapped in one strange package.

5/5
The Return of the Living Dead (1985) Kyle Anderson The film has vivid characters and some terrific set pieces, and the tone ably jumps from the more comedic to the more horrific without whiplash.

4.5/5
Weapons (2025) Kyle Anderson Weapons tells a full, terrifying, funny story that continues to baffle even after you know what’s going on. Ambiguous horror at its finest.

4/5
Freakier Friday (2025) Rotem Rusak At the end of the day, I laughed hard while watching Freakier Friday. The younger children to my left laughed. And my mom, to my right, laughed so hard she cried. And what better testament can there be to a generational movie about motherhood than that?

4/5
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Kyle Anderson Easily the best Fantastic Four movie (faint praise), and firmly upper tier of recent MCU.
Posted Jul 22, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) DarkSkyLady I Know What You Did Last Summer carves up laughs, jump scares, and some eerie deaths, even if its third act goes off the rails.

4/5
Superman (2025) Kyle Anderson Superman is a good movie, a great start to the DCU, that addresses so many timely real-world issues. Legitimately what else could you want?

3.5/5
Thunderbolts* (2025) Kyle Anderson Putting character over spectacle helps Thunderbolts* achieve its goals nicely while never quite reaching for anything greater. But sometimes that’s enough.

28 Years Later (2025) Kyle Anderson When 28 Years Later works, I think it’s something close to beautiful.

F1 The Movie (2025) Michael Walsh This movie makes you feel as though you're really traveling the world with a real Formula 1 operation.

Elio (2025) Michael Walsh It's a delightful, good little film full of lots of heart. And a night at the movies going on that kind of journey through the universe still sounds pretty great to me.

How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Michael Walsh While it is essentially pointless artistically, the live-action How To Train Your Dragon remake is good.

2.5/5
Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025) Tai Gooden All in all, Fear Street: Prom Queen is certainly not the worst horror movie in existence. But it does pale in comparison to its film and print foundations.

Starman (1984) Kyle Anderson Starman is a rather profound love story.
Posted May 12, 2025  Edit critic review
C.H.U.D. (1984) Kyle Anderson C.H.U.D. is such a weird, disjointed melange of ideas and executions that there was no way it was possibly going to succeed, but that’s oddly why I think it’s one of the best horror movies of the ’80s.
Posted May 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985) Rosie Knight All in all, Ewoks: The Battle for Endor is a complete nostalgia trip, with awesome practical effects, creepy costuming, questionable child acting, and some seriously scary villains.
Posted Apr 24, 2025  Edit critic review
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) Kyle Anderson Despite a few cool set pieces, Attack of the Clones really doesn’t hold up, thanks to over-used blue screen and Ewan McGregor wearing a clearly glued on beard and wig.

2.5/5
The Woman in the Yard (2025) DarkSkyLady The Woman in the Yard had a promising idea lost in a script that could not follow through.

2/5
Disney's Snow White (2025) DarkSkyLady With an uneven combination of forgettable music, bland choreography, and few genuine laughs, Snow White fails to find and maintain its footing.

Black Bag (2025) Rotem Rusak Though the movie didn’t care too much about every detail, the ones it chose to focus on were delivered with breathless precision.

The Monkey (2025) Kyle Anderson This is a comedy about horrific, bloody deaths. If that kind of thing makes you laugh, you’ll really enjoy it too.

Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Michael Walsh Captain America: Brave New World fails to deliver the movie that both its leading man and its titular hero deserve.

3/5
Love Hurts (2025) Michael Walsh Whether anyone making the movie realized it or not, Love Hurts desperately wants to be an entertaining action-comedy. That’s clearly what it was meant to be. And when it’s allowed to be exactly that, it’s really good.

3/5
Companion (2025) Kyle Anderson A solidly fun movie with a really good cast. Thatcher is a captivating screen presence always and Quaid is right in his wheelhouse.

4/5
Wolf Man (2025) Rotem Rusak Whannell is able to deliver on the promise of some unadulterated monster movie horror fun. Wolf Man artfully uses every filmmaking facet available to it, its shot framing, sound, and lighting, to rachet up our fear.

3.5/5
Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) Rotem Rusak The film will likely make its audience, adults and kids alike, cry, laugh, and gasp as it entertains them with some new favorite songs and whirls them away with a grand spectacle worthy of Mufasa, the Lion King.

Y2K (2024) Rotem Rusak Y2K knows what kind of movie it is, and it goes all in.

Kraven the Hunter (2024) Kyle Anderson Kraven the Hunter is yet another ignominious end for a cinematic universe that never even had one good movie to hang its hat on.

A Complete Unknown (2024) Michael Walsh Simply put, this is the best performance of Timothée Chalamet’s life.

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024) Rotem Rusak Not only is The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim an incredible The Lord of the Rings movie, it is also an incredible movie, full stop.

4.5/5
Nosferatu (2024) Kyle Anderson Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu sits apart as not merely a remake or reimagining but a wholly singular interpretation of a book and film baked into the very fabric of popular culture.
