The Invisible Man (2020) 92% EDIT “Whannell uses stillness and empty spaces against the audience expertly. But it's Moss who most sells this new, self-consciously serious take on a hammy monster movie premise.” – Newsweek Mar 2, 2020 Full Review Come to Daddy (2019) 87% EDIT “For anyone who can suppress the urge to gag, Come To Daddy's enthusiasm can be catching.” – Newsweek Feb 7, 2020 Full Review The Lodge (2019) 75% EDIT “The causes of the strange happenings in The Lodge, when revealed, are deflating.” – Newsweek Feb 7, 2020 Full Review Combat Obscura (2018) 100% EDIT “Depicts the war beneath the narratives, capturing the soldier's experience with an immediacy that explodes political abstraction, placing it in a more humanist context.” – Newsweek Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Silencio (2018) 38% EDIT “With the stone, the zone and its powers kicked into the background, Silencio becomes a muddle of melodrama and thriller pretensions.” – Newsweek Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Suspiria (2018) 65% EDIT “Not just an arthouse exploration of a horror aesthetic, but a down-and-dirty body horror as visceral as anything in Cronenberg's output.” – Newsweek Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Halloween (2018) 79% EDIT “2018's Halloween isn't a deconstruction, but a slasher movie down to its knife-scraped bones.” – Newsweek Oct 18, 2018 Full Review An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn (2018) 52% EDIT “We are all more like characters in An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn than anyone is likely to admit.” – Newsweek Oct 18, 2018 Full Review Apostle (2018) 79% EDIT “Apostle gets too bound up in the island cult it's meant to be escaping.” – Newsweek Oct 12, 2018 Full Review The Predator (2018) 34% EDIT “Whatever its weaknesses, The Predator gets its titular aliens right, offering a sampler of violent, extraterrestrial skirmishing that works more often than it doesn't.” – Newsweek Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Mandy (2018) 91% EDIT “Every shot is composed with a directorial conviction heavy with hermetic knowledge and occult power.” – Newsweek Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Let the Corpses Tan (2017) 74% EDIT “A deluge of technique ... which washes over the viewer in successive waves, alternately breathtaking, tiresome, breathtaking, repetitive.” – Newsweek Sep 6, 2018 Full Review The Nun (2018) 24% EDIT “Rather than grandiose and ponderous, The Nun is workaday, lunch pail gothic, getting the job done with the energy of a factory floor.” – Newsweek Sep 5, 2018 Full Review Calling All Earthlings (2018) 63% EDIT “It's all faintly ridiculous, but charming, like people talking about the afterlife right before last call.” – Newsweek Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Support the Girls (2018) 91% EDIT “Regina Hall so fully inhabits Lisa's life we hardly feel apart from her, tugged by the same frustrations, goodwill, minor satisfactions and disappointments.” – Newsweek Aug 24, 2018 Full Review What Keeps You Alive (2018) 82% EDIT “The dead center of the movie is a protracted rowboat chase no amount of thumping music can rescue. What Keeps You Alive barely picks up from there.” – Newsweek Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018) 70% EDIT “The Littlest Reich is not just a clockwork puppet slasher, but a gleeful gore movie situated somewhere between Peter Jackson's Dead Alive and Troma.” – Newsweek Aug 20, 2018 Full Review The Meg (2018) 47% EDIT “The Meg is oddly charming, more pulp than cheese, like the sci-fi pumped out in the 1950s.” – Newsweek Aug 10, 2018 Full Review Slender Man (2018) 8% EDIT “Slender Man feels as used up as any years-old meme, like trying to explain what's funny about dat boi a decade late.” – Newsweek Aug 9, 2018 Full Review Hereditary (2018) 90% EDIT “Hereditary feels like an endless drawing out of that queasy, shocking, falling dream sensation, as the ground beneath the Graham family, and the viewer, crumbles.” – Newsweek Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Damsel (2018) 67% EDIT “Damsel spends its second half literally wandering in the woods, with no clear destination or objective in mind.” – Newsweek Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Unfriended: Dark Web (2018) 60% EDIT “Despite characters whose individual plights would be just as boring to describe as they are to watch, Dark Web is just weird and ingenious enough to recommend.” – Newsweek Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) 98% EDIT “Mission: Impossible - Fallout is an unrelentingly consistent action movie, with not a single sequence wasted before the next big stunt.” – Newsweek Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Veronica (2017) 86% EDIT “There's nothing in it that will surprise horror movie aficionados.” – Newsweek Jun 11, 2018 Full Review The Ravenous (2017) 88% EDIT “An interesting take on the zombie genre, but its laid-back indie narrative, which never really bothers with a plot, can make enjoying its occasional splatters of blood a bit of a slog.” – Newsweek May 23, 2018 Full Review
