Killer Whale (2026) 22% C- EDIT “...little tension, zero thrills, and no emotional engagement. ” – The Last Thing I See Jan 15, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 86% B EDIT “We Bury the Dead has a unique, inventive premise that tweaks and subverts the well-worn beats and expectations of the zombie genre, using that framework to explore a character’s rich, complex emotional world.” – The Last Thing I See Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Wildcat (2025) 57% B- EDIT “I’m generally on the hook for this mid-tier type of Kate Beckinsale-fronted bang, bang shoot-em-up, and this one is better than some, not as good as others, but with James Nunn at the helm, you can always hang your hat on the action.” – The Last Thing I See Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% A- EDIT “Robert Pattinson is fantastic, but this is Jennifer Lawrence’s movie. She’s clearly working on another level, and she and Lynne Ramsay appear to be on identical wavelengths, and the result can be transcendent. ” – The Last Thing I See Nov 7, 2025 Full Review This Too Shall Pass (2024) 87% EDIT “A funny, bittersweet, messy story of a time that’s, well, funny, bittersweet, and messy, even if the delivery system is at times a nostalgia overload.” – The Last Thing I See Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Re-Animator (1985) 88% 8/10 EDIT “Re-Animator might be ‘80s comic-trash pop-art at its finest.” – PopMatters Oct 15, 2025 Full Review The Ice Tower (2025) 80% B EDIT “The Ice Tower is sure to leave some viewers cold, but for others, the parable will serve as a reminder that snow and ice melt, and that winter gives way to spring and hope and new possibilities.” – The Last Thing I See Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Affinity (2025) B EDIT “Excellent action executed by people who know what they’re doing, all in an 80-minute package. It’s quick, to the point, and delivers what it promises, with a little weirdness thrown in for good measure.” – The Last Thing I See Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Appofeniacs (2025) 91% B EDIT “Wildly up and down, this peaks with chaos, violence, and gore.” – The Last Thing I See Sep 23, 2025 Full Review Deathstalker (2025) 86% B EDIT “A loving homage made with endless enthusiasm, solid action, and gooey practical effects.” – The Last Thing I See Sep 22, 2025 Full Review The Furious (2025) 100% A EDIT “This is propulsive, relentless, vicious action featuring a murderer’s row of cinematic titans staged and executed by some of the top players in the business.” – The Last Thing I See Sep 17, 2025 Full Review The Toxic Avenger (2023) 87% B EDIT “My guess is that if you have an affinity for the OG Toxic Avenger, or Troma films in general, you’ll have a damn fine time with this version.” – The Last Thing I See Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Under Fire (2025) C+ EDIT “If you can get past the occasional misfire and stretch your credulity at times, there’s a decent amount of fun to be had. ” – The Last Thing I See Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Red Sonja (2025) 56% B EDIT “A lot of people will dismiss this offhand, but there’s more to it if you’re willing to look past flaws and limitations, and there’s an entertaining, admittedly ridiculous, and occasionally affecting movie here. ” – The Last Thing I See Aug 13, 2025 Full Review The Occupant (2025) 94% B+ EDIT “The Occupant is a thrilling wilderness survival tale that's not afraid to veer into uncharted territory and get weird with it.” – The Last Thing I See Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Holy Night: Demon Hunters (2025) 79% B+ EDIT “Ma Dong-seok clobber dudes is one of modern action cinema’s great pleasures. What Holy Night: Demon Hunters, proposes is, what if there were demons and Ma punched them in the face, too? Sounds like a match made in heaven. Or hell, as the case may be.” – The Last Thing I See Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Redux Redux (2025) 98% A EDIT “Redux Redux is the kind of science fiction that favors ideas and inventiveness over spectacle; where character and theme take precedence over eye-candy. ” – The Last Thing I See Jul 28, 2025 Full Review Osiris (2025) 50% B- EDIT “Fun, pulpy B-movie science fiction, complete with largely practical alien suits and nods to all manner of classics. And, of course, the action from director William Kaufman is tight, badass, and plentiful.” – The Last Thing I See Jul 24, 2025 Full Review The Well (2025) 44% B EDIT “'The Well' doesn't rewrite the post-apocalyptic formula, but it uses the template to tell a taut, moving story. ” – The Last Thing I See Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Terrestrial (2025) 75% EDIT “Terrestrial offers up a fun, twisty thriller, deftly executed by Pink, who balances multiple disparate tones with an even hand, and anchored by a strong, strange performance from Fowler.” – The Last Thing I See Jul 21, 2025 Full Review Daniela Forever (2024) 65% B- EDIT “Vigalondo's charms and sensibilities come through, but for all the film offers, it’s always a bit cold and aloof, like it keeps us at arm’s length, never quite connecting on deeper, more emotional levels.” – The Last Thing I See Jul 10, 2025 Full Review K.O. (2025) B- EDIT “ It doesn’t rewrite the recipe, but it’s self-aware enough to poke fun at the genre and not take itself too seriously as it delivers a tasty enough action treat that does enough to differentiate itself from the pack. Also, Ciryl Gane is weirdly adorable.” – The Last Thing I See Jul 1, 2025 Full Review American Trash (2024) EDIT “What could easily have turned into a run-of-the-mill revenge saga has more on its mind and, at every step, chooses not to follow the obvious path.” – The Last Thing I See Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Diablo (2025) 71% B EDIT “You don't go to McDonald's to be wowed and surprised; you go because you know exactly what you're going to get, and sometimes that's perfect. This is the movie equivalent of that.” – The Last Thing I See Jun 11, 2025 Full Review She's the He (2025) 100% A EDIT “A clever, timely subversion of raunchy, problematic ‘80s boner-jam comedies. ” – The Last Thing I See May 23, 2025 Full Review
