Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 46% 2.5/5 EDIT “A gore-filled horror experience that is undeniably intense, but rarely suspenseful. It's more interested in making you wince than in making you afraid.” – The Jam Report Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 96% 4/5 EDIT “A beautifully crafted, deeply unsettling nightmare that merits every single scare and leaves you questioning whether some doors should ever be opened at all.” – The Jam Report Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Fuze (2025) 79% 3/5 EDIT “This is not a film that reinvents the genre, nor is it one that lingers particularly long after it ends. But as a piece of crowd-pleasing entertainment, it does more than enough to justify the ride.” – The Jam Report Apr 15, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 73% 3.5/5 EDIT “A film that doesn't simply use sound as an accessory to its scares, but as its primary weapon, a slow, creeping, deeply unsettling exercise in sonic dread that seeps into the bones before you fully realise what it is doing.” – The Jam Report Apr 13, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 77% 4/5 EDIT “Dark, daring, and deeply uncomfortable, this is a love story that asks whether knowing everything about your significant other is a gift, a curse...or perhaps both.” – The Jam Report Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 44% 2.5/5 EDIT “Bigger does not necessarily mean better, and while this sequel reaches for the stars quite literally, it rarely finds anything of substance once it gets there.” – The Jam Report Apr 1, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 64% 3/5 EDIT “It knows exactly what kind of midnight-movie chaos it wants to unleash and commits to it with total conviction. It's also, unfortunately, a film that rarely rises above the sum of its influences.” – The Jam Report Mar 24, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% 4/5 EDIT “It may not be Pixar at its most dazzling, but it is Pixar at its most endearing with a genuinely charming tale full of heart, humour, and lovable chaos.” – The Jam Report Mar 21, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 57% 3/5 EDIT “It's not a groundbreaking romantic drama. Nor is it particularly subtle in its storytelling. But sometimes sincerity goes a long way.” – The Jam Report Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 5/5 EDIT “At once exhilarating, funny, awe-inspiring, and quietly profound, it balances scientific curiosity with emotional warmth in a way that feels almost miraculous.” – The Jam Report Mar 10, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 58% 2/5 EDIT “The result is a film that feels constantly at war with itself, unable to decide whether it wants to be a cheeky pulp romp or a serious meditation on identity and creation.” – The Jam Report Mar 5, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 43% 2.5/5 EDIT “The film aims to be a stylish black comedy about society’s worship of mammon, but it never fully commits to the darkness or the humour required to make that idea truly resonate.” – The Jam Report Mar 4, 2026 Full Review GOAT (2026) 85% 3.5/5 EDIT “It may follow a cliche playbook, but it contests the game with enthusiasm and style. And sometimes, that's more than enough to score the winning goal.” – The Jam Report Mar 3, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 30% 2/5 EDIT “On paper, 'Scream 7' has all the ingredients for a powerful legacy chapter. In execution, it is a hollow, nostalgia-soaked sequel that mistakes references for reinvention and sentiment for substance.” – The Jam Report Feb 25, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 58% 3/5 EDIT “For all its stunning visual grandeur, it ultimately feels less like a devastating gothic tragedy and more like a beautifully mounted soap opera.” – The Jam Report Feb 13, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “A wickedly entertaining dark comedy that finds surprising emotional bite in its lunacy, and for anyone who has ever survived a toxic workplace, it hits especially hard.” – The Jam Report Jan 27, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “It is a film of ferocious intensity and unexpected tenderness, one that understands that chaos and grace are not opposites but uneasy companions.” – The Jam Report Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 47% 3/5 EDIT “It's obviously not Oscar material, but it is a reminder that sometimes a movie can simply be a good time, and that has value too.” – The Jam Report Dec 23, 2025 Full Review KPop Demon Hunters (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Pure pop cinema in the very best sense, it's vibrant, empowering, and impossible not to smile along with.” – The Jam Report Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “A propulsive sensory overload that defies convention at every turn.” – The Jam Report Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Pillion (2025) 99% 4/5 EDIT “An unexpectedly tender, quietly provocative love story that refuses to sensationalise its subject matter while also refusing to apologise for it.” – The Jam Report Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% 3.5/5 EDIT “A twist-filled, high camp psychological thriller that knows how to push the right buttons and revels in doing so.” – The Jam Report Dec 20, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “A reminder that spectacle can only carry a story so far. Cameron remains unmatched in his ability to create worlds, but this time, the narrative feels like it is treading water rather than forging something truly new.” – The Jam Report Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “A character portrait that embraces contradiction, a period piece that feels startlingly current, and a comedy that flirts with tragedy without losing its sense of fun.” – The Jam Report Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% 3.5/5 EDIT “Both a heartfelt crowdpleaser and a tearjerking romance, it finds emotional truth in a familiar melody.” – The Jam Report Dec 9, 2025 Full Review
