Diabolic (2025) 69% 4/5 EDIT “As a takedown of fundamental religious fanaticism, it says all it has to say, without ever diluting its midnight movie essence.” – Screen-Space (Substack) May 7, 2026 Full Review Mortal Kombat II (2026) 69% 3/5 EDIT “Karl Urban is a charismatic Johnny Cage, whose '"What the hell’s going on?" faux-macho facade recalls Kurt Russell in Big Trouble in Little China, but the heart of the story is the terrific Adeline Rudolph’s blade fan-wielding Kitana.” – Screen-Space (Substack) May 6, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% 2.5/5 EDIT “Highs include charming, funny turns by Patrick Brammall and Justin Theroux; lows are the momentum-sapping cameos of society celebrities.” – Screen-Space (Substack) May 1, 2026 Full Review Broken Bird (2024) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “Mitchell’s slow-reveal, character-driven shocker...contemplates how the voids left by a loved one’s death can fill themselves with the darkest parts of us.” – Screen-Space (Substack) May 1, 2026 Full Review Wolfram (2025) 96% 4/5 EDIT “[Melds] western genre aesthetics with the sufferings dealt to our original people as colonialist law and greed sprawled inland.” – Screen-Space (Substack) May 1, 2026 Full Review Seven Snipers (2026) 3/5 EDIT “Watching this line-up crawl around in the long-grass of Victoria's rural hinterland playing a stern-faced version of shoot'em'ups makes for a diverting, occasionally exciting programmer.” – Screen-Space (Substack) May 1, 2026 Full Review Y Vân: The Lost Sounds of Saigon (2025) 4.5/5 EDIT “This small wonder of a film pulsates with retro style and a heartfelt connection to its subjects, past and present.” – Screen-Space (Substack) May 1, 2026 Full Review Salmokji: Whispering Water (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s a creepy premise, and director Lee Sang-min wrings all its potential in this conventional but well-staged, effectively scary wilderness thriller.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “Genki Kawamura’s adaptation of what I imagine is an utterly frustrating and occasionally terrifying video game is both those things as a movie, too, but it becomes so much more.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Beast (2026) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “A solidly-crafted mix of cliches and bone-crunching that doesn’t reinvent the octagon but lands its narrative punches with force.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 39% 1.5/5 EDIT “It is a cynically transparent Ctrl+Alt+Del of a movie; a brand reset/relaunch that uses nostalgia and cinema audio to bludgeon away public opinion with back catalogue classics.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Alphabet Lane (2025) 2.5/5 EDIT “One’s left unsure who to side with in Litchfield’s thinly-etched, confusing conceit - the real couple, whose inward focus is a black hole for audience empathy, or the fake couple, whose imagined story is far more engaging.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 47% 4/5 EDIT “The richly-textured lensing, wholly committed cast and gleeful gruesomeness silence that persistent voice that wants to spoil the fun just because plausibility is more valued than playability.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 16, 2026 Full Review City Wide Fever (2025) 90% 3.5/4 EDIT “Josh Heaps’ love letter to all I both adore and detest about the giallo sub-genre is never not compelling, occasionally very funny, quite often beautiful and generally devoid of logic. So, a giallo.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Heads or Tails? (2025) 89% 4.5/5 EDIT “The big American presence of John C. Reilly as Buffalo Bill is the hook, but the love story between fleeing socialite Rosa and honourable cowherder Santino is the heart in this Italian western, a bewilderingly winning mix of melodrama and magic realism.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 9, 2026 Full Review The President's Cake (2025) 99% 4.5/5 EDIT “Hadi’s narrative makes for a sad, soaring adventure; a film about journeys, both physical and emotional, towards ends that tear at the strength and sweetness in a little girl’s heart.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Fuck My Son! (2025) 31% 2.5/5 EDIT “Is Todd Rohal's B-movie assault on the senses simply a splattery, mucus-soaked rape fantasy, or is there something in its creative choices that make it very much of this time?” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 7, 2026 Full Review The Yeti (2026) 45% 3.5/5 EDIT “A surprisingly serious-minded affair that is just at home playing in the dark recesses of its character’s psyche as it is in the chilly woods of the Alaskan Territory, circa 1947.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 4, 2026 Full Review Dhurandhar: The Revenge (2026) 35% 2.5/5 EDIT “I can’t recall a film that utilises a scarred national conscience as a means to justify its hero’s sociopathic proclivity for stabbings, burnings, decapitations and countless bullet riddlings...with such exploitative glee.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 42% 1.5/5 EDIT “Most distressing is the film’s ugly aesthetic; despite the same trio of directors who brought the Nintendo IP to vivid life only three years ago, the sequel too often has the pallor of a laptop-produced cheapie.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The Lemurian Candidate (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “The drug-fuelled hike, fun at first for the lads and audience alike, takes on deeper, darker tones as they near the peak, revealing a character-rich narrative with a lot more on its mind and in its heart than anticipated.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 27, 2026 Full Review 13 Days 13 Nights (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Authentic and tension-filled, Martin Bourboulon gripping dramatic thriller captures the terror, anxiety and sheer improbability of Bida’s escape plan.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 27, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% 2.5/5 EDIT “The second satanic-cult-meets-girl-avenger bloodbath in as many weeks is nowhere near as much fun as it thinks it is or should’ve been.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 56% 4/5 EDIT “[Grounded] by Monroe, deftly pitched by director Vanessa Caswill (from Hoover’s script) and rendered lovingly cinematic by DOP Tim Ives, REMINDERS OF HIM is a top-tier tearjerker.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 18, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 67% 3.5/5 EDIT “Charli, in a winning star-turn as a version of herself, fearlessly parodies her own image and integrity as savagely as she does everything else that continues to linger from the Bratosphere.” – Screen-Space (Substack) Mar 18, 2026 Full Review
