The Well (2025) 44% EDIT “Thrives on a sparse aesthetic. What flourish there is in the film is largely narrative, as the imagery tells a tale of a world in which there is no time or energy to spare. ” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 59% EDIT “[A] rousingly entertaining collective trauma-centered bloodbath, eschewing the tedious navel gazing that often afflicts such enterprises.” – ScreenAnarchy Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% EDIT “[T]he rare reinvention that acknowledges the faults of its source material – Cajun Jon Voight, anyone? – and exploits them for the jokes they always were... it surprised the hell out of me, and that’s exactly what I needed.” – ScreenAnarchy Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% EDIT “[A]t least the filmmakers tried something new with the latest iteration of these characters, however, this time the tone just feels uneven and the film is pushing in too many different directions at once... half way through I was ready to hang up.” – ScreenAnarchy Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Re-Animator (1985) 88% EDIT “The film is like a symphony, all of the parts play together in perfect harmony.” – ScreenAnarchy Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Find Your Friends (2025) EDIT “As bold a feature debut as I’ve ever seen. Love it or hate it, it’s impossible to remain neutral on Find Your Friends, and that may be the highest compliment a film can be paid.” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 24, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% EDIT “[HIM] leaves no room for introspection, no room for interpretation, it simply throws a messy spiral right at the audience’s face and expects them to catch it before it destroys the bridge of their nose. ” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Every Heavy Thing (2025) EDIT “A thriller that can stand toe to toe with any independent film, but with a unique outré aural and visual sense, Every Heavy Thing is Mickey Reece’s best film since he jumped into the genre film world.” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 2, 2025 Full Review The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 71% EDIT “The mix of extremely solid fright gags, fantastic comedy, and a razor sharp script from O'Bannon have made The Return of the Living Dead one for the ages.” – ScreenAnarchy Aug 6, 2025 Full Review The Bearded Girl (2025) EDIT “A charming story about the ways in which we are both beholden to and repulsed by the traditions and family obligations laid at our feet, The Bearded Girl is sure to speak to young girls in a way that will truly matter.” – ScreenAnarchy Aug 6, 2025 Full Review The Degenerate: The Life and Films of Andy Milligan (2025) EDIT “A powerfully empathetic portrait of an artist sorely misunderstood in his own time and beyond, The Degenerate is an enlightening film that will undoubtedly encourage viewers to explore his bonkers career and perhaps consider it from a different angle.” – ScreenAnarchy Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) 92% EDIT “Final Destination: Bloodlines puts its foot on the gas from minute one and doesn’t let up until you’ve laughed, cried, cheered, and cringed yourself silly. ” – ScreenAnarchy Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Queens of the Dead (2025) 83% EDIT “One of my favorite horror comedies of the year, Queens of the Dead is an absolute blast that surprised the hell out of me.” – ScreenAnarchy Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Man Finds Tape (2025) 82% EDIT “[A] gripping mystery that avoids a lot of the pitfalls of lesser films. Man Finds Tape is pacey, it’s scary, and it is never boring.” – ScreenAnarchy Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Brother Verses Brother (2025) 100% EDIT “[N]othing like any film I’ve seen in recent years, or perhaps ever. It is a real, true discovery of a talent and a form that I didn’t realize I was missing.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Odyssey (2025) 93% EDIT “Though Odyssey doesn’t tread a lot of new narrative ground, it makes up for it with sheer kinetic glee. If Uncut Gems had you on edge, this might be right up your alley.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) 100% EDIT “A laugh riot with a distinctively Canadian sensibility, there’s something sweet about the purity of Matt & Jay’s goals. It’s a sincerity that audiences long for and Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie delivers.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 17, 2025 Full Review The Surrender (2025) 85% EDIT “Though it rarely treads new ground, The Surrender is nevertheless an effective exploration of grief through the often-ignored lens of mother-daughter relationships. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Fucktoys (2025) 96% EDIT “Fucktoys is its own dystopian paradise, and I want to live in the filth with everyone in Trashtown, because they look they’re having a hell of a time.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Touch Me (2025) 88% EDIT “[T]he extraterrestrial erotic horror comedy that audiences didn’t know they were missing.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 17, 2025 Full Review The Astronaut (2025) 42% EDIT “Kate Mara shines in what is largely a solo on screen performance, and Varley’s attention to visual and aural detail is striking” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 13, 2025 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 86% EDIT “[T]he film is bolstered by Ridley’s powerful lead performance, who brings a gravitas to a very gritty, dirty, and unexpectedly bloody film.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Redux Redux (2025) 98% EDIT “It’s been a big year for science fiction at SXSW, and Redux Redux is one of the more successful film in delivering its thesis in an entertaining and engrossing way. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Friendship (2024) 88% EDIT “Rarely has a film had me so rapidly alternating between squirming in my seat and laughing so hard that I have to wipe the tears from my face. Friendship is high on the list of best comedies of the year,” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 13, 2025 Full Review The True Beauty of Being Bitten by a Tick (2025) 71% EDIT “The True Beauty of Being Bitten by a Tick takes that anxiety of keeping up with the Joneses’ and the fear of failing to live one’s best life to an absurd end that can best be described as deliciously ludicrous. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 13, 2025 Full Review
