City Wide Fever (2025) 3.5/4 EDIT “Josh Heaps’ love letter to all I both adore and detest about the giallo sub-genre is never not compelling, occasionally very funny, quite often beautiful and generally devoid of logic. So, a giallo.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Heads or Tails? (2025) 87% 4.5/5 EDIT “The big American presence of John C. Reilly as Buffalo Bill is the hook, but the love story between fleeing socialite Rosa and honourable cowherder Santino is the heart in this Italian western, a bewilderingly winning mix of melodrama and magic realism.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 9, 2026 Full Review The President's Cake (2025) 99% 4.5/5 EDIT “Hadi’s narrative makes for a sad, soaring adventure; a film about journeys, both physical and emotional, towards ends that tear at the strength and sweetness in a little girl’s heart.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Fuck My Son! (2025) 31% 2.5/5 EDIT “Is Todd Rohal's B-movie assault on the senses simply a splattery, mucus-soaked rape fantasy, or is there something in its creative choices that make it very much of this time?” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 7, 2026 Full Review The Yeti (2026) 39% 3.5/5 EDIT “A surprisingly serious-minded affair that is just at home playing in the dark recesses of its character’s psyche as it is in the chilly woods of the Alaskan Territory, circa 1947.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 4, 2026 Full Review Dhurandhar: The Revenge (2026) 35% 2.5/5 EDIT “I can’t recall a film that utilises a scarred national conscience as a means to justify its hero’s sociopathic proclivity for stabbings, burnings, decapitations and countless bullet riddlings...with such exploitative glee.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 43% 1.5/5 EDIT “Most distressing is the film’s ugly aesthetic; despite the same trio of directors who brought the Nintendo IP to vivid life only three years ago, the sequel too often has the pallor of a laptop-produced cheapie.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The Lemurian Candidate (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “The drug-fuelled hike, fun at first for the lads and audience alike, takes on deeper, darker tones as they near the peak, revealing a character-rich narrative with a lot more on its mind and in its heart than anticipated.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 27, 2026 Full Review 13 Days 13 Nights (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Authentic and tension-filled, Martin Bourboulon gripping dramatic thriller captures the terror, anxiety and sheer improbability of Bida’s escape plan.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 27, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 64% 2.5/5 EDIT “The second satanic-cult-meets-girl-avenger bloodbath in as many weeks is nowhere near as much fun as it thinks it is or should’ve been.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 57% 4/5 EDIT “[Grounded] by Monroe, deftly pitched by director Vanessa Caswill (from Hoover’s script) and rendered lovingly cinematic by DOP Tim Ives, REMINDERS OF HIM is a top-tier tearjerker.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 18, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 67% 3.5/5 EDIT “Charli, in a winning star-turn as a version of herself, fearlessly parodies her own image and integrity as savagely as she does everything else that continues to linger from the Bratosphere.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 73% 3/5 EDIT “When handed over to forces-of-nature Weaving and Newton to do the sisterhood slaying, the sequel is a bloody blast; without them, it plays ugly, gratuitous and a lot less fun.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 18, 2026 Full Review The Howling (1981) 76% EDIT “The Howling is a testament to Dante's enthusiasm, firm grasp and obvious love for his craft. It stands as both a loving homage to the monster-pulp of Dante’s youth and as a thoroughly modern, multi-layered and terrifying horror film.” – sbs.com.au Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Dolly (2025) 63% 3/5 EDIT “With it’s grainy aesthetic and shaky-cam reliance, it looks and feels like an early-80s ‘video nasty’, writ large. ” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 80% 2.5/5 EDIT “There’s something tonally awry with the execution; maybe Liam Neeson and Lesley Manville are too earnest, maybe Joe Keery isn’t quite the comic-foil everyman needed in the lead. ” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Per Aspera Ad Astra (2026) 4/5 EDIT “[A] crowning work of the Chinese film industry’s special effects sector; every new dreamworld is an intricately detailed masterpiece of someone’s imagination, and a wonder to behold.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 2/5 EDIT “PROJECT HAIL MARY colours in a vast effects canvas but offers little more than intellectual infantilism. With Astronaut Ken as our self-taught pilot, it may be the dumbest deep-space adventure ever made.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 13, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 58% 1/5 EDIT “A maelstrom of movie memories and lavish visions, slamming into each other in search of a purpose.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Micro Budget (2024) 85% 3/5 EDIT “This ode to industry-outlier fame whores is a street-level version of AppleTV’s hit The Studio. A feel-bad satire aimed at the industry’s low-tier exploiters and the boardrooms that enable them.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 25, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 30% 2.5/5 EDIT “MVP is Courteney Cox, back as tart-mouthed reporter Gale Weathers, and Williamson films a good slashin’, but it seems naggingly reductive and strained.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 25, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “Amanda Seyfried is a blazing torrent of faith-fuelled passion and biblical bluster, yet humanistically fragile.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 25, 2026 Full Review Scare Out (2026) 1.5/5 EDIT “The once-great Zhang Yimou’s underbaked, over-edited pastiche of techno-thriller cliches [is] dull, often incomprehensible and, given the recent heightening of controversial population surveillance technology, a bit on the nose.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Blades of the Guardians (2026) 96% 4.5/5 EDIT “A wildly entertaining wuxia spectacle that imbues its characters - heroes and villain alike - with humour, depth and chemistry.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Fackham Hall (2025) 74% 3/5 EDIT “More relentlessly silly than side-splittingly funny, there are still enough inspired moments in this Downton Abbey/Upstairs Downstairs skewering to make fans of the genre happy.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Feb 19, 2026 Full Review
