Worldbreaker (2025) Nathaniel Muir Boullet and Evans are fine in their respective roles, but it always feels like the story has more to say. This is seen most in the final act of World Breaker. After about an hour of training and worldbuilding, the climax feels rushed.

Dooba Dooba (2024) Nathaniel Muir Dooba Dooba is filled with moments that will get an audible reaction. Some are incredibly uncomfortable and will make the audience worry what is going to happen next. This is especially true of the chaotic third act which sees the most disgusting acts.

Mother of Flies (2025) Nathaniel Muir Everything said feels real and urgent. The performances are the deciding factor that make Mother of Flies a creepily fun watch.

Hell House LLC: Lineage (2025) Nathaniel Muir The change from found footage takes away all tension, while the decision to add more lore to the already convoluted backstory is frustrating. This may end up being the last Hell House LLC movie no matter what the future plans are.

The WeedHacker Massacre (2024) Nathaniel Muir It has some funny moments and decent kills. Unfortunately, just as much does not land. Add in too many characters and motivations and the film ends up being more disappointing than fun.

8/10
Beast of War (2025) Nathaniel Muir Tightly paced sharksploitation movie focuses on characters instead of being over the top. The shark action is also awesome.

Good Boy (2025) Nathaniel Muir Yes, it is gimmicky, but that is not a bad thing. Emotionally powerful, one of the best dog performances of all time, and scary. A moving story about friendship

Bone Lake (2024) Nathaniel Muir Erotic horror movie plays with its audience instead of shooting its whole load.

V/H/S Halloween (2025) Nathaniel Muir The V/H/S franchise continues to chug along with one of its strongest entries. From jump scares to gross out laughs, to uncomfortable scenes, the new installment is a treat.

The Toxic Avenger (2023) Nathaniel Muir While there are some fun references (an ‘I Love the Monster’ shirt, Melvin Ferd makes an appearance, Nuke ‘Em High), it is its own story. It is definitely not for everyone, but it is a worthy addition to the franchise.

Somnium (2024) Nathaniel Muir Stories involving dreams can be difficult to tell, but Cain is able to deftly pull it off in a strong debut. Levine is incredible and will draw audiences in and there is an overall creepy element to it all that will appeal to fans of genre cinema.

8.5/10
Darkman (1990) Nathaniel Muir The back to comic book basics storytelling along with an impressive score cover over most of the deficiencies. And the cast and crew is an amazing collection of talent.

Witchboard (2024) Nathaniel Muir There are some good kills and New Orleans is always a great setting for a horror story. Witchboard is fine for putting on in the background, but any deeper investment will be disappointing.

Red Sonja (2025) Nathaniel Muir The colors pop off the screen and there is some great creature design. There are also some great fight scenes. It is an all around fun movie that finally gives Sonja the adaptation she deserves.

Descendent (2025) Nathaniel Muir Descendent ends up being one big metaphor and how impressed a person is by that will determine how much they enjoy the movie. There are some good visuals and the performances from the main couple are top notch.

Animale (2024) Nathaniel Muir Animale is an atmospheric watch. The more dreamlike (or in some cases, nightmarish) moments are the highlight. It is in these scenes that things are most tense and the characters most interesting.

8/10
Holy Night: Demon Hunters (2025) Nathaniel Muir Don Lee (Train to Busan) is a throwback action movie star. He would fit perfectly into the testosterone laden 1980s Hollywood landscape. He is overflowing with charisma and absolutely commands the screen.

The School Duel (2024) Nathaniel Muir The plot runs out of steam and a couple of reveals end up being repeated with different characters. The ending ends up being a strange bait and switch. Thankfully, none of this takes away from the powerful message.
Posted Aug 03, 2025  Edit critic review
I Live Here Now (2025) Nathaniel Muir I Live Here Now is an exhausting watch. Even in its more patient moments, there is a sense of dread and tension. This is especially true of the final act when things move at a frantic pace. The plot has a lot to say and the performances are great.
Posted Jul 25, 2025  Edit critic review
Terrestrial (2025) Nathaniel Muir There is good tension and some shocking moments, but tonally it feels off. The sci-fi aspects which open things up end up meaning little in the grand scheme of things. It ends up being more disappointing than anything else.
Posted Jul 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Traumatika (2024) Nathaniel Muir Pierre Tsigardis is able to walk the thin line between scaring the audience and not exploiting familial trauma. The result is a movie that is both shocking and terrifying.
Posted Jun 27, 2025  Edit critic review
Pins and Needles (2024) Nathaniel Muir There are some good gore scenes and the villains are kinda funny. Over the top moments bring a layer of camp that the film should have leaned more into. It may want to be more, but it ends up being entertaining fluff.
Posted Jun 24, 2025  Edit critic review
Bleeding (2024) Nathaniel Muir The third act is filled with blood and death and all of it is because of a powerful drug. It may not be a typical vampire movie, but Bleeding is just as terrifying.
Posted Jun 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Dog of God (2025) Nathaniel Muir Dog of God is definitely not for everybody. Along with its deeper subject matter, it is filled with nudity, sex, and violence. Nothing is gratuitous, however. Everything that happens is part of the grown up fairy tale.
Posted Jun 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Gonzo Girl (2023) Nathaniel Muir Gonzo journalism is characterized by its manic energy and ability to critique society and oneself. Still, it is hard not to feel that focusing on self-discovery would have lived up to the gonzo ethos and been more impactful.
Posted Jun 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Dangerous Animals (2025) Nathaniel Muir Dangerous Animals never tips its hand and each shocking reveal works to full effect. It is the rare twist-free horror movie that unpeels layers of its characters. Instead, fantastic sound design and well-shot shark action bring all the fear.

10/10
Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse (2024) Nathaniel Muir Takes familiar genre tropes in surprising directions. An emotionally powerful story about family and change that is one of the best horror movies of the year.

8.5/10
Restless (2024) Nathaniel Muir Surprisingly effective horror movie that is a descent into madness that would make any Lovecraft fan proud. A scary and funny watch.
Posted May 30, 2025  Edit critic review
A Hard Place (2025) Nathaniel Muir A Hard Place introduces a lot of people, most with unclear motivations. The end result is a good idea that is poorly executed.

8.5/10
The Surrender (2025) Nathaniel Muir Both actors bring a natural feel to their characters that will make audiences feel for them both. The plot is over the top and gets more wild as things progress.
Posted May 19, 2025  Edit critic review
A Breed Apart (2025) Nathaniel Muir Using a mix of real dogs, puppets, and CGI, the ones here look deranged and scary and make for great villains. This is a great example of enjoyable turn off your brain fluff.
Posted May 14, 2025  Edit critic review
The Ruse (2024) Nathaniel Muir There are tropes in The Ruse, but it is more of a mystery than a horror movie. And it is this mystery that makes it so intriguing.
Posted May 13, 2025  Edit critic review
Dark My Light (2024) Nathaniel Muir It rushes together a lot of ideas that do not connect, eventually settling on what seems to be a character study. But since there is little character development, it just leaves anyone watching asking the wrong kind of questions.

8.5/10
Fréwaka (2024) Nathaniel Muir An atmospheric folk horror tale filled with great imagery and strong characters. A powerful watch that is uncomfortable but impossible to turn away from.
Posted Apr 23, 2025  Edit critic review
The Killgrin (2024) Nathaniel Muir The premise is a neat one and the tight story makes sure there are no lulls. The Killgrin stumbles towards the end leading to some nonsensical moments that take some of the steam out of the movie. Even then, it should not ruin anyone’s enjoyment.
Posted Apr 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Call of the Void (2025) Nathaniel Muir Due to the story it is telling, it is no surprise that there are still many unanswered questions by the time the final credits roll. This is not necessarily a bad thing and actually does add to the uncomfortable tone Call of the Void has established.
Posted Apr 15, 2025  Edit critic review
Shadow of God (2025) Nathaniel Muir Mixing arthouse with psychedelia and just straight up gore, Shadow of God will keep anyone watching off kilter. This is also part of the problem. The film has too much going on. Some of it feels out of place, but it all makes for a fascinating watch.
Posted Apr 11, 2025  Edit critic review
The Luckiest Man in America (2024) Nathaniel Muir The production design is great and there are the expected great turns from Hauser and Goggins. There are some missteps for dramatization purposes, but The Luckiest Man in America always remains interesting.

825 Forest Road (2025) Nathaniel Muir The characters may be lacking, but there is enough there to make you care. The ending is a little too abrupt, but effective scares make it an enjoyable.

8.5/10
AUM: The Cult at the End of the World (2023) Nathaniel Muir Most cults share a similar story. They are small, keep to themselves, and are only heard of after some horrific event. The Cult at the End of the World documents how Aum were unlike others.

8/10
Clown in a Cornfield (2025) Nathaniel Muir Killer clowns and teen slashers are two popular stories that have been around for a long time. Clown in a Cornfield manages to combine the two in an exciting and humorous watch that genre fans will enjoy.

8/10
Redux Redux (2025) Nathaniel Muir There are no loose ends (a common problem with time travel/multiverse stories) and the whole thing has a real sense of closure. Redux Redux brings together some surprising elements in a powerful film.
Posted Mar 09, 2025  Edit critic review
O'Dessa (2025) Nathaniel Muir There is a surprisingly violent battle that O’Dessa has heading into the climax. And the final moments provide the satisfying conclusion expected from this type of adventure.
Posted Mar 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Bloat (2025) Nathaniel Muir A straightforward telling would have provided more tension while an increased focus on characters would have given audiences something to care about. By the time the final credits have rolled, Bloat has failed to leave any sort of impression.

8/10
The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) Nathaniel Muir The Rule of Jenny Pen is a carefully paced film that maximizes the performances and the situation. While it is hard to watch Crealy manipulate and punish the others, it is also impossible to turn away from the film.
Posted Mar 04, 2025  Edit critic review
The Baby in the Basket (2025) Nathaniel Muir It quickly becomes apparent that this is going to be more character driven than most nun horror movies. While the sisters follow the familiar tropes ranging from very devout to questioning their faith, the plot never feels derivative.
Posted Feb 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Kidnapping Inc. (2024) Nathaniel Muir There is a lot to like about Kidnapping Inc., but the changes in mood will prevent many from completely enjoying it.
Posted Feb 07, 2025  Edit critic review
A Knight's War (2024) Nathaniel Muir A Knight’s War is an exciting fantasy adventure that is a much needed breath of fresh air. It does not try to reinvent the wheel because it does not have to. It delivers longtime fans exactly what they have been craving.
Posted Feb 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Renner (2025) Nathaniel Muir The film also looks good. It may not be set in a dystopian future, but Renner has the sterile and futuristic look that is often found in those movies. There is a lot to like here, but the lack of a strong rogue AI is very noticeable.
Posted Feb 07, 2025  Edit critic review
The Invisible Raptor (2024) Nathaniel Muir A premise this bonkers sounds like a spoof, especially since there are so many references to Jurassic Park. From music cues to name dropping Steven Spielberg, The Invisible Raptor wears its influences on its sleeve. It is not a full-on parody, however.
