Midwinter Break (2026) 65% EDIT “Most movies give us much less than Manville and Hinds at the peak of their artistry.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) May 8, 2026 Full Review Affection (2025) 82% EDIT “Writer-director BT Meza does a serviceable job with the wanderings in the night and the foreshadowing and intimations of violence.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) May 8, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 89% EDIT “The scenario of "Hokum" seems to ask: What if we made a whole movie about Jack Nicholson entering that haunted room in ‘The Shining?’" Great idea, but McCarthy keeps backing away from it, getting sidetracked with hijinks.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) May 1, 2026 Full Review Last House on the Left (1972) 67% EDIT “This is horror cinema as punk rock.” – Slant Magazine Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 54% EDIT “Tasteless? What else even registers in this era? But it’s also tasty.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Mother Mary (2026) 71% EDIT “On the other hand, Lowery’s new picture, "Mother Mary" is a disaster.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Hunting Matthew Nichols (2024) 88% EDIT “This is a rare found-footage horror movie that works as a character study.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 46% EDIT “And where is the damn mummy? Couldn’t we have just had a mummy?” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 93% EDIT “Director Genki Kawamura has made a pocket-sized Kubrick movie here, utilizing symmetry as a signifier of a crisis of reality met with indifference by gods who probably don’t exist anyway. ” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Deathstalker (2025) 89% EDIT “Some kind of combination of pizza and beer and weed and talk of how things used to be is a prerequisite for viewing here. ” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% EDIT “Let’s just say that Goldhaber has found a way to give a ridiculous branding assignment a scintilla of style and soul.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Apr 10, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% EDIT “Wanting hipster quotient for his pro forma art-fart, Borgli utilizes American trauma as an ideal accessory for Pattinson and Zendaya’s spring reveal.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Apr 3, 2026 Full Review Alpha (2025) 58% EDIT “In other words, "Alpha" is arty. But it is also messy and alive, earning its provocations.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Forbidden Fruits (2026) 75% EDIT “"Forbidden Fruits" is set entirely in a mall, a realm that Alloway uses to represent social media in physical terms without having to constantly thrust the camera into phones. ” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Tow (2025) 77% EDIT “The cleverness opens your receptors to the message, which concerns the hypocrisy of a stifling bureaucratic labyrinth that favors those who can hire lawyers to circumvent or even restructure said labyrinth.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Islands (2025) 92% EDIT “ While you’re trying to solve a mystery that might not even exist, Gerster proffers a moving and atmospheric character study.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Pompei: Below the Clouds (2025) 98% EDIT “ In "Below the Clouds," the tangible and figurative cohabitate freely.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Mar 16, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 74% EDIT “If you longed to have "Sinister" remade as a filmed podcast, "undertone" has you covered.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Dolly (2025) 62% EDIT “With "Dolly" it’s stalking and slashing as usual, with the occasional bonbon of perversity that’s also on loan from other weird movies. I’ve seen much better and much worse. ” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 90% EDIT “Imagine the 1950s-era French masterwork "The Wages of Fear" with a wicked house beat.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Videoheaven (2025) 85% EDIT “At the root of "Videoheaven" is the visceral need to roam around in video stores again. And Perry, who once worked at the iconic Kim’s Video in New York City, satiates it as much as anyone in his situation could.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Dreams (2025) 51% EDIT “Like most modern erotic thrillers, "Dreams" wants points for being provocative yet is afraid of itself. ” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Bunny (2025) 80% EDIT “"Bunny" gains ground upon retrospection, its slightness growing into grace.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Honey Bunch (2025) 93% EDIT “The accomplished gothic atmosphere establishes a rapport between the movie and the audience. You lean back and enjoy the mystery, assuming you’re in good hands. ” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 81% EDIT “If you believe that "Black Mirror" hasn’t been stale for years, this movie might work for you.” – Style Weekly (Richmond, VA) Feb 13, 2026 Full Review
