Infirmary (2026) Jason Adams Perada hits his marks -- the scares are real! -- and in return I jumped and made all of the requisite "Hell no" noises that you hope to make while watching these movies, as the characters stumble deeper into the awful, awful dark. Solid spooky business!

A Useful Ghost (2025) Jason Adams Visually this movie is a feast, existing in its own vacuum-sealed weirdo world of wonder.

Primate (2025) Jason Adams Primate is a mean movie. Viciously cruel. And its wildly over-the-top violence ...being inflicted onto characters that are paper-thin ciphers just becomes wholly unpleasant to watch.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Jason Adams Disastrously boring and redundant... the entire story of Fire and Ash is been there, done that two times already, was sorta bored the second time so there's no excuse to be doing this all yet again, dude.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) Jason Adams So absurdly tedious, so deathly dull, so flat and ugly and boring and offensively dumb, I refuse to believe there's even anybody standing behind the camera.

Shell (2024) Jason Adams When a movie basically reenacts the last scene of John Waters' Multiple Maniancs with what must have been millions more dollars I still have to hand it some slow clap.

Train Dreams (2025) Jason Adams It's got the appearance of meaning that reveals itself to be thimble-deep, like a video of somebody diving into a gorgeous lake only to break their neck on the rocks mere inches beneath its serence surface.

Wicked: For Good (2025) Jason Adams Humorless, tuneless, meandering flying-monkey malarkey... In a better world people would be embarrassed.

Black Phone 2 (2025) Jason Adams Call it "Won't somebody answer the goddamned phone???": The Movie.

Swan Song (2021) Jason Adams Swan Song, for all its Camp factor, mines genuine pathos, especially in Kier's tenderly low-key but dryly hysterical turn

Chain Reactions (2024) Jason Adams Fifty years on it's damned near impossible to find new things to say about a film as discussed & dissected as TCM has been, but the terrific Chain Reactions does a bang-up job

The Life of Chuck (2024) Jason Adams This movie is like somebody wrote a full length screenplay for one of those prescription drug commercials
Posted Jul 31, 2025  Edit critic review
Together (2025) Jason Adams The best horror movie of 2025... Two days before a movie comes out is probably early to call something a classic but Together has all of the makings.

Superman (2025) Jason Adams It's sure got a pile of great ingrediants and ideas bouncing around. The cast is pretty much head to toe wonderful. The film feels its most alive and meaningful when all its extra stuff (so much extra stuff) gets swept aside and it focuses on that heart

The Loved Ones (2009) Jason Adams It's a frisky lil' thing, only 84 minutes long and packed with verve... and Robin McLeavy gives a gloriously unhinged turn as Lola.
Posted Jun 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Hell of a Summer (2023) Jason Adams A lazy lazy lazy movie that offers up nothing new or interesting in its under ninety minutes
Posted Apr 03, 2025  Edit critic review
The Monkey (2025) Jason Adams This movie is bleak and pitch-black hearted and finds the absurd pointlessness of human existence to be a ribald punchline. It's of a piece with the Final Destination movies, but if they were less Rube Goldberg and more Albert Camus on acid.

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024) Jason Adams I'd say I wished I was a kid so these movies could be formative but they make me feel like a kid and reform me in their image anyway... absolute and total buck-tooth-to-stub-toe delight start to finish.

Kraven the Hunter (2024) Jason Adams Textbook Bad Movie behavior... but that doesn't mean there's not a good helping of true WTF fun to be had
Posted Dec 11, 2024  Edit critic review
A Complete Unknown (2024) Jason Adams A Complete Unknown doesn't break open the bio-pic mold but it's about as good an example of what's-to-be-expected can be
Posted Dec 10, 2024  Edit critic review
Heretic (2024) Jason Adams Heretic wears a loose skin-suit of edgy and thoughtful only to slip into something more comfortable -- conventional thinking. This is a horror movie that will make all the wrong people feel right.
Posted Nov 04, 2024  Edit critic review
The Substance (2024) Jason Adams Our culture is a sledgehammer itself -- The Substance is just meeting it on its own obscene terms... An aria of self-loathing shrieked to the rafters, The Substance might be two and a half hours long but unlike its characters this thing has no filler.

Trap (2024) Jason Adams Pure silly delight
Posted Aug 05, 2024  Edit critic review
Longlegs (2024) Jason Adams The comparisons to The Silence of the Lambs are thuddingly obvious while also doing Longlegs no favors at all. It's fine. It ain't no Silence of the Lambs.

MaXXXine (2024) Jason Adams MaXXXine feels like everybody cashed their checks and was halfway out the door before the first clapboard could slap Action

The First Omen (2024) Jason Adams A slithering sinister little monster of a movie

Arcadian (2024) Jason Adams A totally solid screamer

Abigail (2024) Jason Adams There is a pretty perfect hour twirling smackdab in the middle of this movie, unfortunately smothered by one too many ruffles.

Sasquatch Sunset (2024) Jason Adams Sasquatch is sublime, sick, and cinema itself
Posted Apr 12, 2024  Edit critic review
A Star Is Born (2018) Jason Adams You can hear the ghost of Kim Novak whispering: "Here I was born and here he died, twas only a Diane Warren Ballad to you; you took no notice."

Dune: Part Two (2024) Jason Adams Villenueve's sense of scale is basically unmatched right now, and there are shots here that will take your breath away

Stopmotion (2023) Jason Adams Seek this nasty little sucker out
Posted Feb 23, 2024  Edit critic review
Lisa Frankenstein (2024) Jason Adams Lisa Frankenstein is destined to be a cult movie born and bred

Night Swim (2024) Jason Adams It's goofy and it knows it's goofy which is in its favor, but it forgets that goofy things can also be -- and in the case of horror movies, even when goofy, should also be -- scary.

Wonka (2023) Jason Adams A technicolor tonic for these trying times, and Timmy's a hoot
Posted Dec 15, 2023  Edit critic review
Napoleon (2023) Jason Adams The film itself is deeply enraptured with its own prowess. One dare say Napoleon suffers from its own Napoleon Complex. Big movie, dwarfed message.
Posted Nov 15, 2023  Edit critic review
Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) Jason Adams Dull as a doornail and dead as dishwater, and the more it tries to explain itself the less any of it makes sense
Posted Oct 26, 2023  Edit critic review
National Anthem (2023) Jason Adams Astonishingly lovely... Gilford and his actors imbue the story with so much warmth and heart and beauty and real emotional depth that nothing rings false -- there's not a single boot step out of place.

Dark Harvest (2023) Jason Adams Vibes vibes and more ghoulishly delicious vibes throb and thrum through the filthy straw heart of David Slade’s Dark Harvest, a silly but stylish and often terribly fun new horror flick

When Evil Lurks (2023) Jason Adams It stays on the right side of WTF just enough to WTF you up

Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016) Jason Adams "the movie approaches all the things we're expecting with just a little bit more grit and weirdness than we anticipate coming from a studio-sheened horror flick"

School's Out (2018) Jason Adams wild-eyed, wrangling with environmental cataclysm... a monumental horror humming on the horizon

Leap of Faith: William Friedkin on The Exorcist (2019) Jason Adams William Friedkin is a hell of a character and a heck of a story-teller

Firebrand (2023) Jason Adams Lush and lavish and darkly devastating... a quietly compelling tale of agency dashed upon the rocks

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) Jason Adams manic clawing for "cool"

How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2022) Jason Adams What makes Pipeline stand out is its fiercely political point-of-view; anger of the sort that's sadly a real rarity in these generic times of ours

Inside (2023) Jason Adams If you're a person who would want to stare at Willem Dafoe's endlessly fascinating face for ninety minutes, this is a movie for you.

The Son (2022) Jason Adams Would've probably just been swept aside if lesser hands had made it, but with this big-time crew yeesh what a disaster.
