Confess, Fletch (2022) 86% B- EDIT “As solid as the laughs and cast are, they can’t fully compensate for such a weirdly stake-free story.” – AV Club Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Zombieland: Double Tap (2019) 68% EDIT “In ten years, they couldn't come up with enough new ideas that they had to copy so many from the first one?” – Birth.Movies.Death. Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Ready or Not (2019) 89% EDIT “Part of the fun is understanding the family dynamic despite meeting them under heightened circumstances.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Dec 5, 2019 Full Review Kindred Spirits (2019) 90% EDIT “The characters are well rounded, and there are enough variations on the sub-genre's formula that keep it from feeling like a throwback, making it a fully engaging experience.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 14, 2019 Full Review Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (1974) 86% EDIT “Something I find even more impressive as the "zombie" section in our streaming service of choice gets more and more glutted with anonymous junk.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 8, 2019 Full Review Annabelle Comes Home (2019) 64% EDIT “The best of the Annabelle films...” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 8, 2019 Full Review Daybreakers (2009) 69% EDIT “The film offers a decent amount of action, the requisite creature FX an ambitious vampire narrative requires, and occasional vignettes that sell both the concept and the film's alternate reality.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 12, 2019 Full Review Alligator (1980) 87% EDIT “Sure, those miniature effects look even sillier when magnified, but we laughed WITH the movie, not AT it, which is an important distinction.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Jul 9, 2019 Full Review The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part (2019) 84% EDIT “Ultimately, it's a perfectly good followup that unfortunately doesn't benefit from the lowered expectations that greeted the original.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Jan 31, 2019 Full Review Mandy (2018) 91% EDIT “If you're on the fence with your opinion of [Cage] as a performer I think you'll find yourself swayed to the right side here - he is terrific, and I laud him for fighting to play Red instead of the more showy Jeremiah.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 30, 2018 Full Review The Unthinkable (2018) 77% EDIT “I'm here to make sure I say that it's worth seeking this one out when it comes your way.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 24, 2018 Full Review The Descent: Part 2 (2009) 49% EDIT “Appreciate the bonus 90 minutes you get to spend down in the caves with these terrifying monsters.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 19, 2018 Full Review To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story (2017) 100% EDIT “Luckily, the movie was quite good, and I'm glad it's finally being released so everyone else can enjoy it.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 10, 2018 Full Review Climax (2018) 69% EDIT “It might very well be my favorite film of the year, both for its surprising content... and the realization that the likes of Avengers and Jurassic World... failed to create as much awe in this moviegoer as a filmmaker operating his own camera.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 3, 2018 Full Review Jaws 2 (1978) 56% EDIT “I am also a fan of slasher movies, so I like that the film almost seems like a Jaws-ified response to the slasher boom, as the film's second half revolves around a group of trapped teens being menaced by the shark.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 28, 2018 Full Review Deep Murder (2018) EDIT “The niche target audience should have a good time with it. And if you're a slasher fan... well, you won't see much else like it, that's for sure.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 27, 2018 Full Review May the Devil Take You (2018) 79% EDIT “I'll remember it, which I guess is ultimately the important thing!” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 26, 2018 Full Review The House That Dripped Blood (1971) 92% EDIT “What I liked most about this last segment is how it directly tied into the wraparounds, as opposed to being "just another story".” – Birth.Movies.Death. May 17, 2018 Full Review It Lives Again (1978) 47% EDIT “It actually checks in with a few of the original's characters, giving them an interesting role in the proceedings and showing some actual progression in their lives, rather than just tossing them in as fan service.” – Birth.Movies.Death. May 10, 2018 Full Review What Keeps You Alive (2018) 82% EDIT “A mostly solid cat and mouse thriller doesn't quite stick the landing.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Apr 27, 2018 Full Review Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018) 70% EDIT “This movie will work best with a big crowd of like-minded folks hooting and hollering at the gory deaths, bad taste jokes, and -- for those who stay after the credits -- the triumphant survival of a crowd-pleasing supporting player we thought was dead.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Apr 23, 2018 Full Review Ghost Stories (2017) 85% EDIT “Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson's stage play translates well to the big screen.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Apr 21, 2018 Full Review Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) 52% EDIT “It's...the best kind of sequel, one that lets the surviving characters continue their journeys while new characters get to kind of rehash the original's plot with different results.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Apr 11, 2018 Full Review Drag Me to Hell (2009) 92% EDIT “Ultimately, what I find most endearing about the film is the same thing that I primarily love about the first two Evil Dead films: it's made by a guy who isn't afraid to let his warring sensibilities go up on display in a single film.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Feb 22, 2018 Full Review Annabelle: Creation (2017) 71% EDIT “It ultimately felt like too much of a retread to really wow me.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Nov 8, 2017 Full Review
