H Is for Hawk (2025) 80% EDIT “One wishes the film was willing to go further with [its] philosophical inquiry, embracing the metaphysical alongside the dully literal.” – In Review Online Jan 26, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 88% EDIT “We Bury the Dead is an extremely quiet, self-contained film, "small" in interesting ways, especially for this subgenre. ” – In Review Online Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Tale of Silyan (2025) 100% EDIT “The Tale of Silyan stands as a lovely document of one small glimmer of hope amongst the essential cruelty of modernity. Amongst the muck, there is still beauty in the world.” – In Review Online Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Deathstalker (2025) 86% EDIT “2025's Deathstalker is a ready-made cult item, created by fans for other fans... By that metric, Kostanski’s film is largely successful, and a genuine hoot for those so inclined.” – In Review Online Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Dream Eater (2025) 68% EDIT “Dream Eater isn’t some new masterpiece of the [found footage] genre, but it does manage to deliver a genuinely creepy time, and sometimes that’s more than enough.” – In Review Online Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Anniversary (2025) 66% EDIT “A liberal-minded warning about encroaching fascism that, like its characters, plays it safe and centrist until it’s too late.” – In Review Online Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Compulsion (2025) 8% EDIT “It's all unabashedly titillating and gratuitous, a cheap version of a Joe Eszterhas thriller in an era when such things are extremely out of fashion.” – In Review Online Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Prisoner of War (2025) 67% EDIT “Regardless of how one chooses to read it, Prisoner of War delivers what it says on the tin.” – In Review Online Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Short Summer (2025) EDIT “Short Summer is a remarkable achievement, a deeply moving exploration of innocence hovering on the edge of painful experience.” – In Review Online Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Flush (2025) EDIT “Very funny, in a bleak kind of way, and Morin articulates the limited space here in pretty ingenious ways... the whole thing threatens to settle in as little more than a bad joke, or a tossed-off lark, but its ending has some real oomph to it.” – In Review Online Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Honey Bunch (2025) 86% EDIT “One wishes the first half wasn’t quite so distended... [but] there’s a pretty appealing anything-goes approach to the storytelling here that works overtime in the film’s favor.” – In Review Online Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Witchboard (2024) 59% EDIT “A lot — too much, really — and the film lurches around from set piece to set piece, never managing to get pulses racing” – In Review Online Sep 6, 2025 Full Review To Kill a Wolf (2024) 100% EDIT “Theaters mostly don’t exhibit films like this anymore. It’s a shame, as this is exactly the kind of movie we need more of.” – In Review Online Sep 6, 2025 Full Review $POSITIONS (2025) EDIT “An absurdist comedy that gradually transforms into a white-knuckle thriller.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Anything That Moves (2025) EDIT “Anything That Moves is frequently very funny... seemingly as inspired by sketch comedy, improv, and Johnny Ryan’s Angry Youth Comix as they by giallo and De Palma.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review The Serpent's Skin (2025) 100% EDIT “There’s no one doing it quite like Alice Maio Mackay right now.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Else (2024) EDIT “Else fully commits to its horrific premise, but Emin also has more on his mind than genre thrills... the endgame here is not annihilation but transformation. What that new-look future might be is left tantalizingly opaque.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Sovereign (2025) 95% EDIT “Swegal has made a gripping “where we are now” document, mostly free of easy political handwaving and too-topical cable news rhetoric.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Diablo (2025) 71% EDIT “No offense to Mission: Impossible or Ballerina or whatever other bajillion-dollar project Hollywood wants to pump out, but Diablo has already claimed the title of action film of the year. This is the pure, uncut stuff.” – In Review Online Jul 24, 2025 Full Review In Vitro (2024) 100% EDIT “Frankly, simple — refreshingly so. There’s no need for facile, faux-hip junk like Black Mirror when good films like In Vitro are still getting made.” – In Review Online Jul 14, 2025 Full Review Serpent's Path (2024) 80% EDIT “A fairly faithful remake... but still different, expanded now in fascinating, oblique ways... [and] unnervingly hypnotic.” – In Review Online Jul 12, 2025 Full Review Relay (2024) 82% EDIT “A sleek, handsome thriller with some nods to “how we live now.” It’s not quite the paranoid classic it aspires toward, but it’s so propulsive you might not care.” – In Review Online Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Shadow Force (2025) 30% EDIT “[Shadow Force is] a bad day at the office for all involved, leaving the winking suggestion of a possible sequel feeling like an active threat.” – In Review Online Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Last Bullet (2025) 90% EDIT “[A master class] in clean, precise action filmmaking, a tonic for fans of old-school, kinetic mayhem... If this is the end of the series, then it’s going out on a high note.” – In Review Online Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Meteors (2025) EDIT “Small blemishes and all, Charuel’s is largely a remarkable film, a genuine attempt to grapple with life in the present tense, a here-and-now survey with all the contradictions that implies.” – In Review Online May 26, 2025 Full Review
