THE BRIDE! (2026) 59% 3/4 EDIT “It's the 'Moulin Rouge!' of monster movies. Or maybe it's the 'Natural Born Killers' of monster movies. Or maybe it's both. But I think I liked it. ” – Combustible Celluloid Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “Pixar is great at making movies about death and anxiety, and that is much appreciated, but the studio's new film Hoppers is a nice change, rambunctious and loony, and yet still powerful and timely. ” – Combustible Celluloid Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT “Neville does a marvelous job of shaping this period into an actual story arc with a beginning, middle, and end, and making it an emotional ride as well as a great-sounding one.” – Combustible Celluloid Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 83% 3/4 EDIT “This bonkers movie keeps up the energy for a whopping 134 minutes.” – Combustible Celluloid Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Pillion (2025) 99% 4/4 EDIT “It's probably the best feature directorial debut since 'Past Lives.'” – Combustible Celluloid Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Protector (2025) 17% 2/5 EDIT “Jovovich crafts an interestingly troubled and sympathetic character in this action thriller, but her work is in service of a flawed, confusing script that leaves off with a bewildered "what?" ” – Common Sense Media Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Dolly (2025) 62% 3/5 EDIT “This grisly, small-scale horror movie is a little more gruesome and unsettling than the usual fare, thanks both to the grainy, textured use of 16mm film and the presence of a very creepy killer. ” – Common Sense Media Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Micro Budget (2024) 2/5 EDIT “Fans of "cringe comedy" will probably enjoy this ode to independent filmmaking, but others will find main character Terry endlessly aggravating and the jokes more gobsmacking than funny. ” – Common Sense Media Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Psycho Killer (2026) 11% 2/5 EDIT “There's a satisfying Midwest winter vibe in this thriller, and Jane is a likable-enough character, but she's given a movie that almost isn't a movie; the things that happen here don't seem connected. ” – Common Sense Media Mar 6, 2026 Full Review This Is Not a Test (2025) 45% 3/5 EDIT “It's only a so-so zombie flick, but this horror thriller is still a pretty good YA movie, character-focused and in tune with the teens' troubles, frustrations, cares, and concerns.” – Common Sense Media Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “This Canadian comedy's very Canadian humor may not click with all viewers, but the movie's energy and warmth come through just fine, and you just might come to love these two knuckleheads.” – Common Sense Media Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% 3/5 EDIT “This smart, enthralling crime thriller is a little too neat at times, and it runs very long, but it uses the extra time to deepen its main characters and make their actions mean something. ” – Common Sense Media Mar 6, 2026 Full Review By Design (2025) 72% 3/5 EDIT “This absurdist, experimental film is an odd experience and won't be to everyone's tastes, but its themes of objectification and possession are interesting, and it certainly never gets dull. ” – Common Sense Media Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) 96% 3.5/4 EDIT “Lee did have enough sense to hire the great Yuen Woo-ping to choreograph the fight scenes. Those scenes alone are worthy of the excitement and praise that's being heaped upon this movie. But overall, it doesn't quite rank with other films of its kind.” – San Francisco Examiner Feb 10, 2026 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) 18% 1/5 EDIT “As this so-called "story" tries to wrap itself up, it gets bogged down in exposition and bland philosophizing, offering nothing scary, suspenseful, or the least bit intriguing. ” – Common Sense Media Feb 7, 2026 Full Review Killer Whale (2026) 20% 1/5 EDIT “After a slew of awful shark movies, this bloody B-movie tries to mix things up by using a whale; unfortunately, it doesn't make much difference. ” – Common Sense Media Feb 7, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 62% 2/5 EDIT “This high school horror movie doesn't add anything new to the "cursed object" subgenre, instead wallowing in dumb jump-scares, rubbery CGI effects, and half-drawn characters. ” – Common Sense Media Feb 7, 2026 Full Review Iron Lung (2026) 59% 3/5 EDIT “The debut feature by YouTuber Mark Fischbach, this horror movie is sometimes confusing and disorienting— and certainly more discomfiting than scary—but it's also memorably atmospheric and mysterious. ” – Common Sense Media Feb 7, 2026 Full Review Dracula (2025) 53% 3.5/4 EDIT “We have a central role that is chilling, heartbreaking, debonair, and loathsome at the same time. ” – Combustible Celluloid Feb 7, 2026 Full Review Arabesque (1966) 78% 3/4 EDIT “While this convoluted story doesn't add up to much, Donen established a new visual style for himself, all reflections, odd angles, and convex surfaces, paving the way for his next film — one of his greatest — Two for the Road.” – Combustible Celluloid Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 5/5 EDIT “Filmmaker Sam Raimi has done it again with this devilish thriller, a bloody, exceedingly clever, darkly funny movie that takes a nuanced look at gender and the corrupting nature of power. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Clika (2026) 10% 2/5 EDIT “Música Mexicana fans are likely to appreciate the fact that this drama is rooted in the genre, but it's pretty stiff, formulaic stuff, and it doesn't effectively capture the vibrancy of the music.” – Common Sense Media Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Return to Silent Hill (2026) 18% 2/5 EDIT “Paying fastidious homage to the video game Silent Hill 2, this horror movie has some impressive visuals and production design, but it skimps in the character and story department. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 54% 3/5 EDIT “This violent horror tale is a bit of a mess, extending itself in multiple directions, but it's ambitious, with enough good ideas, righteous fury, and unholy shocks to make it worth seeing. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Shot back-to-back with 28 Years Later, this film has the same intelligence, visual inventiveness, and brutal shock factor as its partner, though it heads into more spiritual territory. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review
