2/5
Dolly (2025) Shannon McGrew While it clearly aims for shock and awe, it needed more substance to deliver a lasting impact. That said, there’s potential here. Dolly has the makings of a great horror icon, and I’d be curious to see where Blackhurst takes the character from here.

Dangerous Animals (2025) Shannon McGrew Featuring a career-best performance from Jai Courtney, impressively choreographed fights, nail-biting tension, and, of course, sharks, this is easily one of the best summer thrillers you’ll see this year.

3.5/5
Death of a Unicorn (2025) Shannon McGrew What is the best way to describe DEATH OF A UNICORN? Imagine Jurassic Park colliding with the unicorn from Cabin in the Woods. You’ll laugh, jump out of your seat, and maybe even shed a tear.

The Monkey (2025) Shannon McGrew While Perkins succeeds in crafting striking, blood-soaked visuals, he stumbles in weaving together a story that surpasses its superficial exterior.

9.5/10
The Ugly Stepsister (2025) Sarah Musnicky It is painful and tear-jerking and another reminder of how societal beauty standards and our quest to achieve them cause more harm than good. As Blichfeldt has said, we are all stepsisters, and through Elvira's journey, we have been warned.

2.5/5
Companion (2025) Shannon McGrew The film’s light and playful tone quickly gives way to grim, unsettling violence, particularly towards Iris. It’s a stark reminder that whether you’re human or artificial, women will always be subjected to physical/sexual violence at the hands of men.

3/5
Wolf Man (2025) Shannon McGrew Even with its missteps, I give Leigh Whannell credit for swinging for the fences - and for including a SAW reference in the film, even if the story lacked meat on the bones.

Devils Stay (2024) Sarah Musnicky DEVILS STAY is an underwhelming, bloated affair. Despite its more intriguing components, too many elements distract within its story.

2.5/5
Hold Your Breath (2024) Sarah Musnicky As an examination of tragic madness, HOLD YOUR BREATH almost gets it. But it gets lost in the dust it hopes to use for scares.

5/10
Apartment 7A (2024) Sarah Musnicky The theatricality alone gives APARTMENT 7A a different look and feel that separates it from its predecessor, but it's arguably not enough. Rosemary's Baby's beating heart echoes throughout, with the story doing little to go beyond the confines of ritual.

6.5/10
Never Let Go (2024) Sarah Musnicky Capturing the atmosphere and ambiguity of a Southern gothic fairytale, this film is rooted in place by the strength of its performances. Through the relationships captured onscreen, some storytelling sins are forgiven.

4/5
The Substance (2024) Sarah Musnicky THE SUBSTANCE never shies away from its non-subtle, expressive view of how we process aging. It is brutally honest in its rage, internalized and externalized, but also in Sparkles' self-discovery, there's something akin to hope.

4/5
Speak No Evil (2024) Shannon McGrew Hardcore fans of the original will find much to appreciate in this version, as Watkins successfully puts his own spin on the story and brings together a talented cast who honor the original while delivering something fresh.

3/5
The Front Room (2024) Shannon McGrew THE FRONT ROOM is an audacious debut from the Eggers Brothers. While it struggles to find a steady footing and doesn’t hit every note it aims for, credit must be given where it’s due - they really swing for the fences.

The Dead Thing (2024) Sarah Musnicky It's beautiful, capturing the addicting allure of finding someone you resonate with, for better or worse.

Hell Hole (2024) Sarah Musnicky HELL HOLE highlights the consequences of fracking in bonkers, anal-probing fashion, giving plenty for viewers to clench their cheeks about.

The Soul Eater (2024) Sarah Musnicky It is a real, unmistakable cruelty and nastiness that underlines the beating heart of THE SOUL EATER

Witchboard (2024) Sarah Musnicky From beginning to end, WITCHBOARD (2024) never ceases to entertain.

The Beast Within (2024) Sarah Musnicky [In THE BEAST WITHIN]...a werewolf curse adds an additional layer to this vicious domestic cycle that is doomed to repeat itself until the curse breaks.

MaXXXine (2024) Shannon McGrew MAXXXINE didn’t achieve the stardom it had the potential for, especially when it reaches the third act and begins to fall apart.

The Watchers (2024) Sarah Musnicky Ishana Night Shyamalan's potential reveals itself in the visual language she deploys in THE WATCHERS as well as crafting a suspenseful, slow-build horror onscreen.

3/5
Pandemonium (2023) Sarah Musnicky While the threads are loose between the segments, one thing becomes clear. Humanity, in all of its various intricacies and perspectives, is at the center.

3/5
Dancing Village: The Curse Begins (2024) Sarah Musnicky While it takes arguably too long for the action to kick into gear, DANCING VILLAGE: THE CURSE BEGINS is a fitting prequel for those unfamiliar with the world of this Indonesian horror.

It's What's Inside (2024) Dolores Quintana The film is witty and vicious, with a crackerjack premise that I would liken to a 21st-century CLUE.
Posted Apr 24, 2024  Edit critic review
The Moogai (2024) Dolores Quintana THE MOOGAI is about the ghosts of the past, a reckoning with that past, and the pain it caused generations of Aboriginal people. It is an emotionally captivating and culturally relevant horror film with powerhouse performances.

Handling the Undead (2024) Dolores Quintana Emotionally vivid, relentless, and shocking, HANDLING THE UNDEAD treads new territory for zombie horror. Profoundly emotional and so very human, it brought me to tears.

I Saw the TV Glow (2024) Dolores Quintana I SAW THE TV GLOW is a dreamy yet horror-tinged examination of the LGBTQ, specifically trans, experience that is something that nearly any ostracized teen or adult can relate to.

Your Monster (2024) Dolores Quintana YOUR MONSTER is the story of an actress who is too nice for her own good but finds her strength through friendship. Hilarious and charming, this Beauty and the Beast of Broadway rips the heart out of bad relationships

In a Violent Nature (2024) Dolores Quintana IN A VIOLENT NATURE is the slasher you have been waiting for—enthralling, innovative, with a sense of humor, and possessing an aura of the grave.
Posted Apr 24, 2024  Edit critic review
Love Lies Bleeding (2024) Dolores Quintana The strength of the film lies in the emotional resonance and vulnerability between the two leads that you almost feel ashamed to be watching how deep and raw it really is.
Posted Apr 24, 2024  Edit critic review
Wonka (2023) Dolores Quintana WONKA is a delicious and delightful confection from start to finish. Full of music, wonder, and questioning of the social order, it doesn’t preach so much that it forgets to entertain.

Late Night with the Devil (2023) Shannon McGrew LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL delivers a spooktacular experience that pays homage to the 1970s era of late-night talk shows while embracing the eerie allure of the supernatural.

Imaginary (2024) Sarah Musnicky Lacking the imagination its premise should thrive on, the latest from writer/director Jeff Wadlow does little to step outside the safe confines of the metaphorical sandbox.

Lisa Frankenstein (2024) Sarah Musnicky Led by Kathryn Newton and the wholly committed Cole Sprouse, what results is a delightful, albeit uneven, messy romantic tale.

Dark Obsession (2023) Sarah Musnicky In DARK OBSESSION (2023), the potential under the surface is seldom explored. By the time a twist is let loose, the film’s plodding pace leaves its thrills too late.

2.5/5
Night Swim (2024) Shannon McGrew Unfortunately, the rushed and disjointed nature of the third act created a choppy ending, causing the film to barely tread water and leave a lasting impression.
Posted Jan 04, 2024  Edit critic review
The Zone of Interest (2023) Dolores Quintana THE ZONE OF INTEREST instantly went on my best film list of 2023. Mesmerizing and enraging, it is a film about the potential for evil inside of us all.

3/5
The Cello (2023) Sarah Musnicky The performances from the cast, made all the better by Bousman’s direction, and the promise shown in Al Alshikh’s writing show that while in its infancy, Saudi Arabian horror can easily connect with an international audience.
Posted Dec 08, 2023  Edit critic review
7/10
Everyone Will Burn (2021) Sarah Musnicky EVERYONE WILL BURN intrigues. With a distinct visual palette and melodramatic execution in events, the film highlights the promise of director/co-writer David Hebrero and what he can bring to the table.

The Naughty Nine (2023) Shannon McGrew The Naughty Nine falls short in capturing the holiday spirit to make this a memorable film.

Wish (2023) Shannon McGrew While WISH grapples with some narrative stumbling blocks, it manages to shine in other ways that will captivate audiences. With strong musical numbers, striking animation, and an unexpected twist.
