Infirmary (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Pineda spins what could be a run-of-the-mill found footage horror film into something darker and more unsettling on a much larger scale than just another creepy old hospital.” – Father Son Holy Gore Jan 19, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 59% 4.5/5 EDIT “Night Patrol plays with the gothic figure of the vampire alongside American history to confront how little the country has progressed over the past 160 years, and to deal with the rage of communities tired of living under the thumb of white supremacy.” – Father Son Holy Gore Jan 19, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 86% 4/5 EDIT “We Bury the Dead doesn’t reinvent the zombie subgenre wheel, but remains a very emotional zombie story that’s more about confronting loss and grief than survival.” – Father Son Holy Gore Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “Sirāt is at once very real, very literal, then at the same time deeply metaphorical and poetic—a psychological journey of torment across both a physical and mental desert.” – Father Son Holy Gore Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 95% 4.5/5 EDIT “Sound of Falling feels spiritually connected to Time of Moulting and The White Ribbon, all three reaching for similar perspectives on how the national traumas throughout German history play out in the personal traumas of German families and communities.” – Father Son Holy Gore Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Meat Kills (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Meat Kills is over the top in its depiction of militant vegans, yet reflects a deeper societal rift related to how cultural discourse has divided into extremes on all sides of politics.” – Father Son Holy Gore Dec 24, 2025 Full Review Something of a Monster (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Something of a Monster deals with two women who are so depressed by loss, whether figurative or literal, to the point they’re driven to psychological extremes.” – Father Son Holy Gore Dec 23, 2025 Full Review No More Time (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “No More Time envisions a pandemic in which human behaviour is the ultimate form of destruction.” – Father Son Holy Gore Dec 22, 2025 Full Review Influencers (2025) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Influencers is even more dark fun than Influencer, particularly because of how it portrays identity in an increasingly volatile and devious digital world.” – Father Son Holy Gore Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% 5/5 EDIT “One of the points Ramsay’s film seems to make is that love cannot be in name only, it’s something that requires a bit of elbow grease to maintain, and if it’s allowed to curdle like sour milk, it’ll make everybody sick.” – Father Son Holy Gore Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Dust Bunny is a hopeful piece of fantasy horror that urges us to find the people who care for us, no matter where we find them; love is the only way to fend off the monsters under our beds and in our heads.” – Father Son Holy Gore Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Pig Hill (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Pig Hill deals with cultures that turn trauma into commercialised folklore, and the horrifying real-life results that can occur when victims have their stories disregarded.” – Father Son Holy Gore Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Good Boy (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Leonberg’s film is at its core about the absolute loyalty of dogs for the human beings who care for them, and offers the horror movie epitome of the lengths dogs will go to protect the humans they love.” – Father Son Holy Gore Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Invader (2024) 64% 4/5 EDIT “Invader‘s a disturbing snapshot of violence that contains commentary deeply relevant to where America is politically right now.” – Father Son Holy Gore Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Bone Lake (2024) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “Bone Lake doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it does deal seriously with relationship issues through a mix of horror, sex, and psychological head games.” – Father Son Holy Gore Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Dream Eater (2025) 68% 3/5 EDIT “Dream Eater is a story about how burying trauma warps a person’s world, and the world of those around them, into an unrecognisably dark, disturbing existence that can swallow someone whole.” – Father Son Holy Gore Nov 18, 2025 Full Review So Fades the Light (2025) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “So Fades the Light deals with how cults and cult leaders force unattainable male expectations onto girls and women.” – Father Son Holy Gore Nov 13, 2025 Full Review The Ugly Stepsister (2025) 96% 4.5/5 EDIT “Blichfeldt tells a folktale in a brutally real fashion to illustrate the physical toll that beauty standards have on female bodies.” – Father Son Holy Gore Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Deathstalker (2025) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “2025’s Deathstalker is a fun, delightfully foolish, and heart-filled tale best watched in a packed theatre full of movie lovers.” – Father Son Holy Gore Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Ganymede (2024) 77% 3.5/5 EDIT “Ganymede is filled with grim, unsettling moments, yet finishes in a space that allows for hope, allows for change, and allows for life in the face of literal and existential death.” – Father Son Holy Gore Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Friendship (2024) 88% 4.5/5 EDIT “Friendship is a dark comedy about some men’s inability to grow and change, as well as the depths of male insecurity.” – Father Son Holy Gore Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Queer (2024) 77% 4.5/5 EDIT “Luca Guadagnino's adaptation of Queer captures, with both beauty and much melancholy, the haunted death-in-life of queerness that Burroughs knew himself.” – Father Son Holy Gore Nov 2, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% 5/5 EDIT “One of the best depictions of how the Gothic treats sexuality, encompassing issues women faced in the 19th century related to desire, and the queerness of vampires that has existed since the first literary vampires reared their fanged mouths in the West.” – Father Son Holy Gore Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Mother's Baby (2025) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Mother’s Baby goes against the idea that motherhood is meant to be a perfect, beautiful experience; sometimes motherhood is dark and full of terrors.” – Father Son Holy Gore Oct 27, 2025 Full Review It Needs Eyes (2025) 4.5/5 EDIT “Ogle and Pagniano force the audience to question the trauma online images inflict upon us, as well as how our voyeurism shapes and warps the digital world.” – Father Son Holy Gore Oct 26, 2025 Full Review
