B-
The Confession (2025) Abbie Bernstein The Confession is okay as a well-acted spooky outing, but its content doesn’t match its articulated themes.
Posted Jan 20, 2026  Edit critic review
B-
Night Patrol (2025) Abbie Bernstein Night Patrol is intermittently intriguing, and works as a shoot-‘em-up, but it overall seems unequipped to fully deal with the serious themes it presents.

B+
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Abbie Bernstein Essentially the second half of last year's 28 Years Later, with payoffs galore.

B-
Anaconda (2025) Abbie Bernstein Unlike its inspiration, this Anaconda isn’t so bad that it’s good. Indeed, it’s not actually bad at all, but it’s mostly only okay.

B
We Bury the Dead (2024) Abbie Bernstein A movie about grief and longing with some zombies in it.

B
Is This Thing On? (2025) Abbie Bernstein Is This Thing On has some intelligent observations about human connection and communication and strong acting performances. It’s just that, given its overall tone, we could wish for it to be funnier.

B-
Manor of Darkness (2025) Abbie Bernstein Moderately entertaining and has impressive music courtesy of composer Engellau, but it doesn’t fulfill its potential.

B
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Abbie Bernstein Visually gorgeous, narratively more routine.
Posted Dec 23, 2025  Edit critic review
The King of Color (2025) Abbie Bernstein A documentary that is first about a man, secondly about his process, and thirdly about what turned out to be the invention of a language. It’s amiable, informative and, at just eighty minutes, a fairly swift watch.

B
Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) Abbie Bernstein Occasionally gets a little self-satisfied with how it straddles genres. Mostly, though, it’s fun for those who enjoy a Merry Christmassacre.

B+
Dust Bunny (2025) Abbie Bernstein Delightfully whimsical dark comedy/fantasy
Posted Dec 15, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Dead Man's Wire (2025) Abbie Bernstein We believe the incredible events of this crime dramedy because the filmmakers are so good at providing the rueful, lifelike sense that sometimes you just can’t make this stuff up.

B
Influencers (2025) Abbie Bernstein Influencers isn’t enormously deep, but it’s a well-done, enjoyable bloody puzzle box with travelogue benefits.
Posted Dec 15, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
The Wilderness (2025) Abbie Bernstein Each scene on its own is credible, and filmmaker King puts a spotlight on a matter that warrants more public attention.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
The Mannequin (2025) Abbie Bernstein It’s clear what Berardo is trying to do with The Mannequin. Sometimes he achieves it, but sometimes the execution doesn’t fulfill the ambitions of the concepts.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) Abbie Bernstein A sequel that improves on the original and sets up a third.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Man Finds Tape (2025) Abbie Bernstein Found footage that's literally [a] knockout.
Posted Dec 02, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Rosemead (2025) Abbie Bernstein Rosemead has moments where it lags. Still, it is persuasively harrowing and gets us to ask ourselves the uncomfortable question of what we would do in Irene’s shoes.
Posted Dec 02, 2025  Edit critic review
100 Nights of Hero (2025) Abbie Bernstein Corrin is delightful, Monroe is convincingly innocent without seeming unintelligent and El-Masry is smooth as silk.
Posted Dec 02, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Wicked: For Good (2025) Abbie Bernstein It is a fulfilling climax to a saga that makes for a pretty glorious whole.
Posted Nov 24, 2025  Edit critic review
A-
Hamnet (2025) Abbie Bernstein It’s the relatively rare piece where people who are articulate have troubles that do not arise out of secrets or lies, but rather from incidents that must be survived and then absorbed.
Posted Nov 24, 2025  Edit critic review
Solvent (2024) Abbie Bernstein Cwen handles her emotional extremes well, Grenzfurthner is unafraid to make Ernst a complete jerk, and Gratzner puts across Fredi’s hard-to-rattle attitude with aplomb.
Posted Nov 18, 2025  Edit critic review
B
The Running Man (2025) Abbie Bernstein Decent actioner with a social satire backbone.
Posted Nov 18, 2025  Edit critic review
B

Posted Nov 18, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Keeper (2025) Abbie Bernstein Still, for fans of Perkins’s work and creepy original horror, Keeper is a provider.
Posted Nov 18, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
Die My Love (2025) Abbie Bernstein There’s a lot going on in Die My Love, and it looks great, so it’s eventful and handsome.
Posted Nov 13, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Peter Hujar's Day (2025) Abbie Bernstein A biopic that's like hanging out with friends.
Posted Nov 13, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Chain Reactions (2024) Abbie Bernstein It works not just because of the pun, but also because Chain Reactions... explores the “chain reaction” that the now-fifty-one-year-old film has influenced so much of what followed, which in turn has had its own influence.
Posted Nov 13, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Last Days (2025) Abbie Bernstein There are sections of lyrical, tranquil natural beauty, when everyone present appreciates where they are, proof of the hand of God or not.
Posted Nov 13, 2025  Edit critic review
C-
Your Host (2025) Abbie Bernstein Torture game show, with a bad backstory.
Posted Nov 03, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Anniversary (2025) Abbie Bernstein Dynevor keeps Liz telegenic and enigmatic, while O’Brien deploys subtlety in illustrating Josh’s alterations. Brewer is lively, Deutch and McCormack enact fluctuating states well, and Grace is charming.
Posted Nov 03, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Self-Help (2025) Abbie Bernstein If the climax is a bit mundane compared to what has preceded it, we’ve still been given a fair amount of roller-coaster ride.
Posted Nov 03, 2025  Edit critic review
C+
Scurry (2024) Abbie Bernstein While Scurry has its moments, it largely plays out more like a full-length moviemaking experiment than an actual full-length movie.
Posted Oct 27, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Shelby Oaks (2023) Abbie Bernstein Decently scary mix of found footage and narrative horror.
Posted Oct 27, 2025  Edit critic review
Queens of the Dead (2025) Abbie Bernstein It’s warm and personable – and has some great jump scares, too.
Posted Oct 27, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Black Phone 2 (2025) Abbie Bernstein As director, Derrickson makes good use of the frozen lake, the shrouded daylight, and all those bunk beds with creepy dark spaces beneath them. He and co-writer Cargill craft likable characters and agreeable banter.
Posted Oct 24, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Good Fortune (2025) Abbie Bernstein Ansari’s points about the absolute grinding insanity of trying to just afford housing, medical care and groceries for ordinary people are wholly on target and often very funny.
Posted Oct 24, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Roofman (2025) Abbie Bernstein Dunst puts a lot of grounding and gravity into Leigh, and Collias and Moyer are excellent as her daughters.
Posted Oct 13, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) Abbie Bernstein An emotionally engaging tale, illuminated with flashes of operatic brightness, but affecting us more when it is quiet and dark.
Posted Oct 13, 2025  Edit critic review
B
The Drowned (2025) Abbie Bernstein Present-day art thieves vs. mythological horror.
Posted Oct 13, 2025  Edit critic review
B
After the Hunt (2025) Abbie Bernstein The script by Nora Garrett winds up being a kind of meta Rorschach test.
Posted Oct 13, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Good Boy (2025) Abbie Bernstein A spectral horror movie starring a dog.
Posted Oct 06, 2025  Edit critic review
B
The Smashing Machine (2025) Abbie Bernstein The film does demonstrate that Johnson can convincingly carry a film in a straight role, which seems to be the victory that the filmmakers most desire.
Posted Oct 06, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
Bone Lake (2024) Abbie Bernstein Readily watchable, just not plausible.
Posted Oct 06, 2025  Edit critic review
B
V/H/S Halloween (2025) Abbie Bernstein A Halloween edition of the you-know-what horror anthology franchise.
Posted Oct 06, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Hell House LLC: Lineage (2025) Abbie Bernstein A decent entry in the series, but with its many references to earlier installments and the what-will-we-find-out-next finale, it isn’t properly standalone.
Posted Oct 03, 2025  Edit critic review
Killing Faith (2025) Abbie Bernstein Since it keeps us intrigued throughout and doesn’t try to make a case for anything objectionable, we can’t quarrel overmuch with its methods.
Posted Oct 03, 2025  Edit critic review
A-
Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror (2025) Abbie Bernstein Surprisingly moving documentary about Rocky Horror on stage and screen.
Posted Sep 30, 2025  Edit critic review
