Film Review - The Monkey
The Monkey is a weird and fundamentally unserious, yet somehow still kind of moving experience. The end result is an absolutely fantastic time at the movies, a testament to taking wild career swings and giving the audience the maximum bang for their buck in terms of entertainment value.
Film Review - Heart Eyes
Heart Eyes is certainly a commendable addition to the horror-comedy genre, offering a refreshing take on the slasher formula without reinventing the wheel.
Film Review - Wolf Man
As far as January horror movies go, you could do worse, but howling about Wolf Man, you will not be.
Film Review - Kraven the Hunter
As I watched Kraven the Hunter, I couldn't help but reflect on my experience with the Sony universe on the whole. Is it really possible that this was ever going to work?
Film Review - Rumours
Rumours is worth commending for its sheer gaul, but ultimately, it's biting off far more than it can chew.
Film Review - Heretic
Heretic is a film of two clashing identities. One is a simmering rumination on the evolution of modern day spirituality, and the other is a relatively by-the-numbers basement chiller.
Film Review - Smile 2
Smile 2 is a worthy sequel that, while not quite as groundbreaking as its predecessor, still offers plenty of great elements.
Film Review - Terrifier 3
Overall, Terrifier 3 proves that a little Yuletide seasoning and some punchy editing go a long way to finally giving Art the film he clearly deserves, a raucous and thoroughly cruel slasher fiesta that's sure to be a Halloween season hit.
Film Review - Joker: Folie À Deux
It's interesting that for all the film's grappling with Arthur's identity crisis, Folie à Deux winds up having one of its own
Film Review - Subservience
SK Dale’s direct-to-streaming suckfest Subservience, […] dares to ask the brave question “what if we made the robot… sexy?”
Film Review - Speak No Evil
With strong performances, and a compelling narrative that deviates just enough from the original, Speak No Evil is worth a hearty recommendation for fans of the genre.
Film Review - Alien: Romulus
All in all, Alien Romulus is a worthy - if conflicting - addition to the franchise.
Film Review - In a Violent Nature
For those willing to embrace its unique approach, Nash's film offers an off-kilter and strangely beautiful experience.
Film Review - Kinds of Kindness
Kinds of Kindness is a film that, while not without its immature and edgy side that seems cultivated purely to provoke, leaves you thinking long after the credits roll.
Film Review - A Quiet Place: Day One
Grab your popcorn, silence your phone, and sit down for A Quiet Place: Day One - just don’t expect it to leave you anywhere near as speechless as its survivors.
Film Review - Longlegs (SPOILER FREE)
Longlegs still manages to stand out despite the abundance of highly effective and artful horror we are afforded in the modern era.
Film Review - The Strangers: Chapter 1
There's a decent helping of funny-bad horror movie moments that include a particularly saucy burger, the ol’ spontaneously exploding motorcycle trick, and a singular rat being treated as if it's the most terrifying creature on the planet, but the overall experience is about as satisfying as eating soup with a fork.
Film Review - Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
Not so much applying brakes to the franchise as it is shifting gears, Furiosa is a triumphantly Aussie blockbuster.
Fantastic Film Fest 2024 Review - The Deep Dark
The Deep Dark just doesn’t quite dig deep enough, uncovering a hole that's barely big enough to bury itself in.
