Primate (2025) 79% 5/10 EDIT “Primate is neither thrilling nor smart enough to be good, nor ludicrous enough to be so bad that it’s good. Instead, it’s just a mediocre genre flick fitting for its January release. It’s certainly no Cujo (1983) or Monkey Shines (1988). ” – Under the Radar Jan 11, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% 5.5/10 EDIT “Anaconda is a forgettable meta comedy that lacks bite. The cast brings plenty of energy to it, but the film often takes the easiest routes imaginable. ” – Under the Radar Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 8.5/10 EDIT “Marty Supreme is an unconventional sports drama that’s less interested in scenes of triumphant wins and more interested in an entitled American man falling apart.” – Under the Radar Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 9/10 EDIT “O’Farrell’s novel moved many readers to tears, and Zhao’s film will likely do the same for moviegoers.” – Under the Radar Nov 27, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 7/10 EDIT “The real star of the show, however, might be production designer Marcus Rowland. He manages to make the environments look believably futuristic without them becoming overly slick. ” – Under the Radar Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 7/10 EDIT “The first two films in this series are gritty, sweaty, and bloody adult action-horror films. Some of that style remained in later entries to a lesser degree, but Predator: Badlands does away with nearly all of it in favor of slick blockbuster set pieces.” – Under the Radar Nov 11, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% EDIT “The Long Walk barely misses the mark of being a great film. It is still really good though. Lawrence and Mollner find the power and soul of King’s pages, and Hoffman and Jonsson are sublime in their roles. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Oct 28, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “One Battle After Another is yet another daring entry in Anderson’s filmography. It gives the audience laughs, thrills, and plenty to chew on as it portrays both ugly and hopeful aspects of American culture both past and present.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% 7/10 EDIT “Black Phone 2 is a solid horror sequel that expands the supernatural angles of its universe.” – Under the Radar Oct 19, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 6.5/10 EDIT “If the script were as strong as the visual effects and music, there could have been something really good here. As is, Tron: Ares is just a decent blockbuster.” – Under the Radar Oct 12, 2025 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) 15% 5/10 EDIT “This remake trilogy continues to feel uninspired and tedious, with little hope for the third entry.” – Under the Radar Sep 27, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% 7/10 EDIT “Last Rites might be the final entry to center on Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren. That’s unfortunate, as the two actors really help to elevate these films.” – Under the Radar Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% 7.5/10 EDIT “Aronofsky mostly succeeds at stepping out of his comfort zone and delivering something a little looser and more palatable for mainstream audiences.” – Under the Radar Sep 2, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% EDIT “First Steps is easily the best Fantastic Four film to date and is among the better MCU films of the past few years. There are many smaller elements in the film that can be nitpicked, but First Steps as a whole is entertaining and uplifting...” – Battle Royale With Cheese Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 7/10 EDIT “Zach Cregger's new film, Weapons, is another eccentric and well-crafted project, though it’s a slight step down from Barbarian.” – Under the Radar Aug 11, 2025 Full Review Together (2025) 89% 6/10 EDIT “Despite its many flaws, Together is occasionally daring and is interesting enough to recommend to horror fans.” – Under the Radar Aug 1, 2025 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% EDIT “F1 starts to feel bloated and repetitive at a certain point as the film runs for 156 minutes. It’s a fun ride though, containing plenty of blockbuster thrills due to its exceptional visual and sound design.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Dangerous Animals (2025) 87% EDIT “Dangerous Animals is no Jaws (1975). What films are? But it is a sharp little horror flick that blends serial killer and shark tropes together well as Byrne and Courtney surprise the audience. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 7.5/10 EDIT “Written and directed by Gunn, Superman is a solidly entertaining beginning to the franchise, though it doesn’t completely soar.” – Under the Radar Jul 14, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 8/10 EDIT “Rather than relying solely on zombie set pieces, Garland and Boyle take strange and unexpected risks. In this way, the film feels more in tune with 28 Days Later than the more action-focused 28 Weeks Later.” – Under the Radar Jun 30, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% 7/10 EDIT “It doesn’t match the highs of the main John Wick films, but it is enjoyable summer escapism for those who need a cinematic rush.” – Under the Radar Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) 92% EDIT “Final Destination: Bloodlines is uneven at times as it tries to reinvent the series’ formula. The opening sequence and a few scenes in the second half remind horror audiences why they enjoy this series though.” – Battle Royale With Cheese Jun 7, 2025 Full Review Clown in a Cornfield (2025) 74% 6/10 EDIT “Clown in a Cornfield generates little suspense and will only be scary for those who suffer from coulrophobia. It makes up for this by having a tight script with well-drawn central characters and exciting survival scenarios.” – Under the Radar May 6, 2025 Full Review Another Simple Favor (2025) 58% 2/5 EDIT “Another Simple Favor is bland at its best and irritating at its worst. It looks nice and has two likable stars, but everything at work feels mechanical.” – Flickering Myth May 2, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 92% EDIT “Warfare begins great but eventually becomes repetitive. The lack of character depth makes it feel aloof too. The attention to detail and authenticity is undeniable though. ” – Battle Royale With Cheese Apr 19, 2025 Full Review
