C-
Longlegs (2024) Chauncey K. Robinson Longlegs had great potential but failed to spark anything exciting in its story. The film put much of its creative energy into aesthetics and atmosphere, leaving little left over to save its predictable and surprisingly empty tale.

Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) Chauncey K. Robinson The film expands the lore of the simple game it's based on, allowing it to go beyond jump scares and cheap thrills. It starts off slow but builds into a satisfying mystery.

The Nun II (2023) Chauncey K. Robinson The Nun 2 isn't as compelling as the first installment, and feels a bit scattered, but it serves as a worthy sequel that expands on the demonic lore, adding in some new jump scares.

B+
When Evil Lurks (2023) Chauncey K. Robinson 'When Evil Lurks' is a new take on the possession sub-genre of horror. It's intense and unrelenting. With that said, it may be too much for viewers looking for a less tragic and uncomfortable watch. It is not for the faint of heart.

B
The Exorcist: Believer (2023) Chauncey K. Robinson Group-think and nostalgia worked against The Exorcist: Believer, with many already wanting to dislike it. Yet, the movie delivers genuine terror, an expansion on possession lore, and a story with a lot of heart.

B
Dark Harvest (2023) Chauncey K. Robinson 'Dark Harvest' has genuine scares, along with lots of charm and heart. It's a fun movie that packs a lot of punch both with the thrills and themes explored.

D
Skinamarink (2022) Chauncey K. Robinson Skinamarink has a lot of potential that never fully gets developed. The film is overly long with little scares to justify the length of the movie.

A
M3GAN (2022) Chauncey K. Robinson M3GAN is a smart film that uses horror to go after consumer culture and the potential dangers of artificial intelligence. It strikes a good balance between dark comedy and the scares.

A
The Batman (2022) Chauncey K. Robinson "The Batman" is an installment of an often-depicted superhero that manages to give a fresh take. Both atmosphere and plot are dark and heavy. This may not be the kind of movie for those who lean more towards the MarvelDisney fanfare.

A
Wyrmwood: Apocalypse (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson "Wrymwood" is the grindhouse zombie movie you've been waiting for. If you're a bit tired of "The Walking Dead" style of zombie drama, with slow burns and constant character introspection, then "Wyrmwood" is a solid contrast to all that.

D
Scream (2022) Chauncey K. Robinson The movie is an unnecessary addition to the franchise with newer characters you will quickly forget. Its saving grace is the return of legacy characters that we have come to know and love.

B-
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) Chauncey K. Robinson If you're seeking retribution for the disappointing "Halloween Kills" when it comes to revisiting nostalgic horror icons, then this movie is for you. It keeps the horror formula simple and the kills riveting.

A?
Fear Street Part Three: 1666 (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson Fear Street 1666 is the weakest of the three films, but serves as a solid and satisfying end to a gloriously gruesome trilogy.

B
Gunpowder Milkshake (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson Gunpowder Milkshake leans more on style than substance, but that style is mesmerizing to watch. It isn't groundbreaking cinema, but it is a fun imperfect thrill ride with a quality cast of leading women.

A
Fear Street Part Two: 1978 (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson Fear Street 1978 stands out with a way more tragic and darker story, while blowing away troupes of who's allowed to meet their demise in horror films. This one is brutal. It also manages to be scarier than the first installment.

A-
Fear Street Part One: 1994 (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson Fear Street 1994 turns many overdone slasher horror tropes on their heads, and doesn't shy away from blood and violence. It's way edgier than Goosebumps and embraces its darkness.

America: The Motion Picture (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson Be prepared for how ridiculous and over the top this film is. Yet, if you enjoy raunchy adult animation laced with social commentary, then you will enjoy this movie.

B-
False Positive (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson False Positive isn't exactly thrilling despite being presented as a thriller. But it does make some powerful points on the (lack of) control women have over their bodies in our society.

B
Awake (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson Don't compare Awake to A Quiet Place, it's better. This is a paint by the numbers sci-fi disaster movie, but the intensity never lets up, making for a fun and enjoyable ride.

A
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson The film relies extra heavily on jump scares, but the quality storytelling isn't sacrificed. It has a darker, more sinister, tone than the first two installments but maintains the emotional pull that fans have come to love.

B+
Army Of The Dead (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson Zack Snyder brings a few innovations to the zombie genre with Army of the Dead, but the film isn't one that sticks with you long after you've viewed it. It's fun, not groundbreaking.

B+
Oxygen (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson Oxygen is 20 minutes longer than it needs to be, but the film keeps the anxiety high and draws you in on a wild phobia filled ride.

C
Mortal Kombat (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson Mortal Kombat feels more like a cinematic appetizer than a full movie meal. The action is there, but it lacks the epic world building the source material provides.

Thunder Force (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson Thunder Force just might be the superhero movie the world needs right now. The laughs and gags are plenty, but the film has heart too.

The Power (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson The Power is a horror film that sticks with you long after it is done. It is serious and creepy, but it also has a message worth listening to.

B-
Bad Trip (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson The film is Borat meets Dude Where's My Car , and I mean that in a good way. It's a near perfect silly hidden camera comedy, but one scene nearly ruins it all.

A+
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson A thorough and epic story that gives every main character the time and development they deserve. A cohesive vision that is realized in the justified 4 hour runtime. Cyborg is a standout.

Slaxx (2020) Chauncey K. Robinson SLAXX is a killer inanimate object horror movie that takes itself more seriously than you'd expect for the sub-genre. It has a message, but with some fun gore along the way.

C+
Lucky (2020) Chauncey K. Robinson Lucky is an ambitious horror film that has a message it wants the world to see. Unfortunately, not everything lands as well as it should.

Stay Out of the Attic (2020) Chauncey K. Robinson Stay Out of the Attic will surprise you as film that although heavy on gore and (good) scares, it actually takes the time to give you compelling characters and an interesting plot.

B-
Saint Maud (2019) Chauncey K. Robinson Saint Maud is a movie that you will either absolutely love or hate. There is no in-between for this horror tinged exploration of mental illness and faith.

Come Play (2020) Chauncey K. Robinson Come Play is a creepy horror film for the whole family, but it falls short with an ending that leaves much to be desired.

C
The Little Things (2021) Chauncey K. Robinson The Little Things never adds up to be a good movie. The slow burn never ignites into a quality film fire. Great acting, but hollow storytelling.

B
A Nightmare Wakes (2020) Chauncey K. Robinson What A Nightmare Wakes lacks in historical accuracy it makes up for with quality gothic horror. It's an engrossing interpretation of how creative light can come from grief-stricken darkness.

The Queen of Black Magic (2020) Chauncey K. Robinson The Queen of Black Magic is a wild horror ride that may honestly be too scary for some audiences. The intensity doesn't let up as the mystery unfolds. Great storytelling and scares.

I Am Lisa (2020) Chauncey K. Robinson It's a werewolf film on a budget, but the good storytelling and strong acting shines through. The movie also does well by not falling into the same trappings of other revenge horror films.

A+
Anything for Jackson (2020) Chauncey K. Robinson A uniquely told story that has genuine moments of fear. A breath of fresh air to have lead horror characters who are over the age of 25 for once.

A
Run (2020) Chauncey K. Robinson A quick-paced thriller that gets right to the action. There is high tension throughout that will have you on the edge of your seat, with great performances by the two leads.

Beast Mode (2019) Chauncey K. Robinson The movie accomplishes the hard job of balancing genuinely funny comedy with horror elements. Although it leans more on the slapstick comedy than gore.

His House (2020) Chauncey K. Robinson His House is a powerful film that showcases the horrors of immigrations while telling a good old fashioned haunted house story.

The Amityville Harvest (2020) Chauncey K. Robinson The Amityville Harvest is a different kind of installment to the Amityville franchise, but it still provides a spooky ride into the horror universe. Fun scares and an overall good time.

Hubie Halloween (2020) Chauncey K. Robinson Hubie Halloween is a feel good Halloween movie with heart. If you're not a fan of Adam Sandler's kind of comedy you may not enjoy it, but overall it has laugh out loud moments.

Killer Sofa (2019) Chauncey K. Robinson It's a horror gimmick B-movie that actually has an engrossing plot, solid acting, a cool killer, and some actual creep factor. Not a cinematic masterpiece, but a fun ride with good scares.
Posted May 05, 2020  Edit critic review
Extremity (2018) Chauncey K. Robinson A horror movie that's more psychological than jump scares, but doesn't skimp on the blood and gore in places where necessary.

The Wave (2019) Chauncey K. Robinson A wild and multi-genre ride. There are messages on life throughout, but it gets muddled in the confused plotting.

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019) Chauncey K. Robinson ZombieLand: Double Tap was well worth the wait as the zombie universe is expanded and some great new characters are added to the mix.
