Send Help (2026) Lyvie Scott It’s been 16 years since the director has delivered a straightforward horror, and he brings the full weight of his trademark, gonzo gore to bear here.

All You Need Is Kill (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui While All You Need Is Kill doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to the time-loop thriller, or indeed even as an adaptation of Sakurazaka’s light novel, it still manages to feel fresh and new

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Hoai-Tran Bui DaCosta’s grounded, clear-eyed approach unveils the script’s unnerving nihilism. 28 Years Later certainly touched on the cruelty that humans do to each other, but The Bone Temple shows in all its bloody glory the cruelty that was always lying in wait.

Stand by Me (1986) Ryan Britt Stand by Me remains a perfect King film.

Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Siddhant Adlakha Short movies are a mercy, but every once in a while you get a Greenland 2: Migration, which plays like a more thoughtful and meditative piece had been snipped within an inch of its life.

Primate (2025) Siddhant Adlakha Primate is a horror romp filled with some fun ideas thrown at the wall — many of which stick — and some other heavily dramatic ones that severely misfire. In other words: It’s January, so you could do a whole lot worse.
Posted Jan 09, 2026  Edit critic review
Anaconda (2025) Siddhant Adlakha The film is nearly devoid of laughs, seldom coheres in its straightforward action-thriller moments, and is also, on occasion, visually unpleasant in a way that favors home viewing.

Death Race 2000 (1975) Gayle Sequeira Ludicrously silly, yet sharply satirical.
Posted Dec 19, 2025  Edit critic review
King Kong (2005) Andrea Thompson Gleefully reveling in the three hour runtime, the 2005 King Kong builds up its human cast, giving each of them backstories and arcs that each of us get invested in, however unwilling we are in some cases.

Resurrection (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui Bi Gan has achieved something here that is worth experiencing — a feat of cinematic artistry.
Posted Dec 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) Lyvie Scott A premise so thin and airless that it seems to be saying both everything and nothing.
Posted Dec 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Siddhant Adlakha It's bigger, longer, more unwieldy, more sentimental, and more problematic with a capital "P." But in its grandest moments, it’s more emotionally affecting than anything Cameron has made before.
Posted Dec 16, 2025  Edit critic review
The Abyss (1989) Ryan Britt The Abyss is a humbler kind of Cameron movie, and it’s aged well.
Posted Dec 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Marty Supreme (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui A manic, madcap odyssey that is as exhilarating as it is exhausting, Marty Supreme is operating on a level of ballsy absurdity that no other movie this year can dream of touching.
Posted Dec 01, 2025  Edit critic review
Troll 2 (2025) Dais Johnston A rollicking good time, a completely fresh take on the monster movie that definitely has the potential to become one of Netflix’s most impressive imports.
Posted Dec 01, 2025  Edit critic review
The Secret Agent (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui Anchored by a magnificent Wagner Moura, who delivers one of the knottiest, most complex lead performances of the year, The Secret Agent sneaks up on you — not by virtue of any shocking twists, but simply by how it refuses to be just one thing.
Posted Nov 26, 2025  Edit critic review
Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) Lex Briscuso Road to Revenge is non-stop action fueled by revenge and redemption, led by a hero who finds an insatiable will to survive in the face of unbeatable odds — and it’s a story that we can’t help but be completely immersed in.
Posted Nov 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Wicked: For Good (2025) Lyvie Scott There’s not much higher to go once you’ve defied gravity, but Erivo, Grande, and Chu at least give the characters and this world a soft landing.
Posted Nov 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Keeper (2025) Siddhant Adlakha Is it a valiant attempt? Perhaps, but so was the Hindenburg.
Posted Nov 16, 2025  Edit critic review
The Running Man (2025) Ryan Britt Thankfully, Powell’s charm is part of what carries things through, but there’s something else The Running Man has going for it: a simple, yet horrifying premise, executed with precision, and just enough outrageous twists to keep you guessing.
Posted Nov 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Lyvie Scott It’s just as corny, far-fetched, and chaotic as the films that precede it, with a dizzying plot that makes less sense the more you think about it. But those who found anything to love in this franchise before know not to analyze this caper too closely.
Posted Nov 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui Little Amélie is a metaphysical wonder. It’s lovely and light and uplifting, and is full of an awe for life.
Posted Nov 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Die My Love (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui Lawrence has given numerous tour-de-force performances in her incredible career, but this is one that feels most fitting to describe as a force of nature.
Posted Nov 07, 2025  Edit critic review
The Running Man (1987) Ryan Britt The Running Man is perfect because it is self-aware enough to make its hyperbolic, campy aspects part of its overall vibe.
Posted Nov 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Lesbian Space Princess (2025) Lyvie Scott A surprisingly sweet, bracingly funny, and unapologetically queer remix of the traditional space adventure — though Lesbian Space Princess also tries a little too hard to revive a bygone era of animation.
Posted Nov 04, 2025  Edit critic review
Predator: Badlands (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui A magic trick of a blockbuster movie.
Posted Nov 04, 2025  Edit critic review
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Dais Johnston This duo has always asked the question of, “What if Nathan Fielder was an ambitious band kid?” and in this movie we get our answer through Tom Cruise-esque stunts and ridiculous moments of self-reflection and self-parody in the same breath.
Posted Oct 31, 2025  Edit critic review
Ballad of a Small Player (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui It’s hyper-stylized and sleazy and sordid, with Farrell’s go-for-broke performance embodying a movie that feels like its tenuous grip on reality could break at any moment and send it hurling into the ether.
Posted Oct 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Hedda (2025) Lyvie Scott Thompson and DaCosta ratchet up the tension of a story that already feels like a pressure cooker, turning Hedda the film into a diabolical psychological thriller, and launching Hedda the character into the pantheon of the monstrous feminine.
Posted Oct 24, 2025  Edit critic review
The Mastermind (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui It redefines the heist film by Reichardt’s vision of an America that has since been lost to time.
Posted Oct 24, 2025  Edit critic review
It Was Just an Accident (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui Panahi crafts one of the most prescient and timely films of the year. Its gutting ending is one for the ages, and is the perfect capper for a film that is both an entertaining “revenge” thriller and a filmmaker’s inarguably political statement.
Posted Oct 24, 2025  Edit critic review
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui Byrne is nothing short of spectacular in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, her agonized expression constantly commanding the whole frame that Bronstein constantly gives her.
Posted Oct 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Exit 8 (2025) Lyvie Scott It’s a stirring, surprising work, one that explores its premise so thoroughly and intimately, it’s easy to forget how simple a story it’s telling.
Posted Oct 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Roofman (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui As Roofman takes increasingly wacky turns, most of them owing to the truly bizarre turns of the story of Jeffrey Manchester, it’s Cianfrance’s deft touch that maintains the tricky balance between the absurd and the affecting.
Posted Oct 16, 2025  Edit critic review
The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025) Gavia Baker-Whitelaw While there are some nail-biting moments in here, the writing is too shallow and predictable to make this a memorable watch.
Posted Oct 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Good Fortune (2025) Lyvie Scott Ansari’s debut is equal parts Trading Places and It’s A Wonderful Life, but it functions best as a 21st-century riff on the former.
Posted Oct 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Lyvie Scott 'Good Luck, Have Fun' wants us to question everything, to shake us awake from our own simulation — and on that front, at least, it succeeds.
Posted Oct 08, 2025  Edit critic review
A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui While Bigelow ultimately crafts an exercise in relentless tension that’s more immersive than insightful, it’s undeniably effective.
Posted Oct 08, 2025  Edit critic review
TRON: Ares (2025) Ryan Britt Tron: Ares has a mind of its own, striving to be a modern blockbuster for normies that has something deep to say about artificial intelligence and our need to value the finite nature of life.

The Smashing Machine (2025) Siddhant Adlakha It’s a personal re-invention for both [Johnson and Safdie], and while it may not re-invent the wheel, it most certainly bedazzles it.
Posted Oct 03, 2025  Edit critic review
Black Phone 2 (2025) Lex Briscuso The strengths of the film are marred and overshadowed by a consistent push to make Christianity look cool and edgy, which leaves parts of the film feeling disjointed and, frankly, unrealistic.
Posted Oct 01, 2025  Edit critic review
1.5/5
The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) Matt Donato The Strangers - Chapter 2 is a worst-case scenario for a horror sequel to a subpar remake. It's so bad, there's a legitimate fear that its inefficiencies could retroactively tarnish the original's reputation.
Posted Sep 24, 2025  Edit critic review
HIM (2025) Lyvie Scott HIM is not the next Get Out, much as it might dress itself up to be. That it’s got all the subtlety of a bludgeon to the head is just the first of its many flaws; not even Peele can turn this messy Mad Libs horror into a true statement of intent.
Posted Sep 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Arco (2025) Lyvie Scott At just 88 minutes, Arco moves at a brisk pace, leaving little room for deeper, more intricate storytelling — much as it may need it.
Posted Sep 17, 2025  Edit critic review
Sacrifice (2025) Lyvie Scott Sacrifice, like so many class-conscious thrillers of its ilk, is both timely and hysterical, but it’s also more earnest than any “eat the rich” story that’s premiered of late.
Posted Sep 17, 2025  Edit critic review
One Battle After Another (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui One Battle After Another is a bracingly relevant, breathlessly propulsive, and deeply layered thriller that manages to transcend its source material. On top of that, it’s entertaining as hell.
Posted Sep 17, 2025  Edit critic review
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) Hoai-Tran Bui Loaded with so many stunningly gorgeous images, it may not be as big or bold as it imagines itself to be, but it’s certainly full of a sense of imagination and whimsy that you don’t find in many — or really any — movies these days.
Posted Sep 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Happyend (2024) Hoai-Tran Bui A shaggy, beautifully understated film about the resilience of youthful rebellion and ennui in the face of an increasingly bleak future.
Posted Sep 15, 2025  Edit critic review
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Lyvie Scott While this murder mystery is a little messier than those that came before, it has something those films occasionally lacked: conviction.
Posted Sep 12, 2025  Edit critic review
The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) Gavia Baker-Whitelaw Last Rites is more invested in giving the Warrens an affectionate sendoff than it is in telling an interesting horror story.
