Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) 95% EDIT “Road to Revenge is non-stop action fueled by revenge and redemption, led by a hero who finds an insatiable will to survive in the face of unbeatable odds — and it’s a story that we can’t help but be completely immersed in.” – Inverse Nov 22, 2025 Full Review Vicious (2025) 44% 7/10 EDIT “The new horror fable is bolstered by a simple premise, a tense atmosphere, and two powerhouse performances that shape the narrative into something both achingly relatable and earth-shatteringly horrifying.” – Next Best Picture Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% 7/10 EDIT “Jay Kelly is a smart, funny, and emotional ride that deftly interrogates what it means to be a human and an artist in equal measure – and the unfair sacrifices required to be great.” – IGN Movies Nov 14, 2025 Full Review V/H/S Halloween (2025) 89% 8/10 EDIT “It seems crazy to think the “V/H/S” franchise, which kicked off a whopping 13 years ago, is still going, let alone going strong. But there’s much life in the old dog yet.” – Next Best Picture Oct 1, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% EDIT “The strengths of the film are marred and overshadowed by a consistent push to make Christianity look cool and edgy, which leaves parts of the film feeling disjointed and, frankly, unrealistic.” – Inverse Oct 1, 2025 Full Review Tinsman Road (2025) 4/5 EDIT “A harrowing journey into the shuddering soul of a dark mystery, one with its bloody heart on its sleeve, begging you to connect within the sorrow. ” – Dread Central Aug 18, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) 36% EDIT “Juggles legacy and modernity with precision and tension that builds into a break-neck fast, paranoia-laced, and endlessly fun experience. The movie proudly wears its predecessors on its sleeve, easily cementing itself as the best modern horror reboot.” – Inverse Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Bring Her Back (2025) 89% EDIT “Bring Her Back is, at its core, a terrifying and truthful blaze that burns bright in the name of love. ” – The Film Maven May 17, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 77% 9/10 EDIT “Audiences may not have expected The Monkey to be the most emotional horror film of 2025 so far – but that’s exactly what it is, in the best possible way.” – CBR Feb 24, 2025 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% 7/10 EDIT “More than anything else, it feels human -- and that's the most memorable thing that the film leaves its audience with. Rather than scares or cliffhangers, it provides viewers with something far more compelling.” – CBR Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 8/10 EDIT “A bonafide feminist battle cry.” – CBR Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Kinds of Kindness (2024) 71% 5/5 EDIT “Altogether exhilarating and horrifying—a totally Lanthimos experience. ” – Dread Central Dec 22, 2024 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 5/10 EDIT “Chalamet’s performance is only ever a shell of Dylan; His passion and purpose, the one he found in the very folk music this biopic zeroes in on, isn’t there.” – CBR Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Memoir of a Snail (2024) 95% 10/10 EDIT “A beautiful mosaic of uphill battles, life lessons, and immense love.” – Next Best Picture Oct 25, 2024 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% 8/10 EDIT “A Real Pain is a hilarious and tender drama that shows us that truly living is the only way to honor those we've lost.” – IGN Movies Oct 23, 2024 Full Review V/H/S/Beyond (2024) 90% 9/10 EDIT “Goes gloriously for broke, taking its sci-fi conceit to the stratosphere with smart found-footage directing, killer writing, gnarly effects, top-notch acting, and concepts that feel more fresh than ever.” – Next Best Picture Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Terrifier 3 (2024) 78% 7/10 EDIT “The most intense, engaging, and shockingly fun time we've had in Miles County. ” – Next Best Picture Oct 7, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 73% EDIT “West’s final entry into the modern horror canon seamlessly comes to a confident and glorious close, a star immortalized in her bloody triumph of the self.” – Inverse Jun 26, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% 8/10 EDIT “Sure, it’s an exaggerated and somewhat obvious film, but that doesn’t make director Coralie Fargeat’s point any less true -- nor does it detract from the tremendously gory way in which she makes it. ” – IGN Movies May 24, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% 9/10 EDIT “Baker cuts straight to the feeling -- and because of his fearless filmmaking, this career-best film, in all its crushing and chaotic glory, demands to be felt.” – IGN Movies May 23, 2024 Full Review The Surfer (2024) 84% 8/10 EDIT “With a poignant undercurrent that jabs a finger at our classist society and a set of twists and turns fit for a late-night screening, Cage’s latest thrill ride is a rebirth of epic proportions.” – IGN Movies May 21, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% 10/10 EDIT “Weaving together top-notch worldbuilding, an emotionally resonant directorial eye, searing performances, sharp cinematography, and a Hell-raising score, this is a remarkable hero’s journey.” – IGN Movies May 15, 2024 Full Review The First Omen (2024) 83% EDIT “An engrossing trip into the dark heart of evil and what it means to be chosen by the cruel hand of fate — and surprisingly, it lives up to the strength, power, and overarching dread of its source material.” – Inverse Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Lisa Frankenstein (2024) 52% EDIT “It’s clear Williams knows how to tell a story and with “Lisa Frankenstein” as her first wacky and wonderful calling card, there’s no denying she is a filmmaker to watch.” – TheWrap Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Madame Web (2024) 10% EDIT “Not only is the latest addition to the Marvel canon lacking a true emotional core, it’s devoid of many key elements that make a movie successful in the translation from the screen to the audience’s psyche. ” – TheWrap Feb 13, 2024 Full Review
