The Stakelander (2016) 80% EDIT “The Stakelander is slightly repetitive and may not completely stack up to the first’s modest charms, but is definitely worth spending another eighty quick minutes with.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 5, 2022 Full Review Night Warning (1981) 93% EDIT “We become one with Billy, absolutely terrified as our once loving aunt descends into the depths of psychosis, threatening to butcher everyone and everything we hold sacred.” – Birth.Movies.Death. May 21, 2020 Full Review Salem's Lot (1979) 90% EDIT “Undoubtedly one of the best Stephen King adaptations, and still manages to be scary years after it premiered in homes across the nation.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Feb 7, 2019 Full Review Night of the Comet (1984) 79% EDIT “The bastard offspring of an entire drive-in era, Night of the Comet is one of the most unique motion pictures from any age, and it's a wonder that more modern filmmakers haven't used it as a cinematic template.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Lasso (2018) 67% EDIT “All the elements for a legendary guilty pleasure are here; they just needed to be handled a little more carelessly to truly have a lasting impact.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Nov 27, 2018 Full Review Robin Hood (2018) 14% EDIT “Bathurst & Co. have created one of the better pure popcorn movies of the year, and that's a pretty impressive feat for a movie nobody really wanted in the first place.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Nov 20, 2018 Full Review Speed Kills (2018) 0% EDIT “These all seem like the very definition of "vanity projects", only there's no beauty to be discovered.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Nov 16, 2018 Full Review The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018) 89% EDIT “Unfortunately, these six campfire stories also distinctly feel like odds and ends that've been sitting in a drawer gathering dust.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Nov 13, 2018 Full Review Sinister (2012) 64% EDIT “Perhaps Sinister's most impressive element is how smoothly it transitions into the supernatural portion of its narrative...” – Birth.Movies.Death. Nov 13, 2018 Full Review The Other Side of the Wind (2018) 82% EDIT “Make no mistake, The Other Side of the Wind is an essential cinematic experience for the devoted; lush and visually confounding, as it changes aspect ratios, film stock (from B&W to color), and POV, all at a moment's notice.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Monster Party (2018) 77% EDIT “For a certain brand of cult film aficionado, Monster Party is going to be a ton of fun, as the influences are proudly worn on its sleeve.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Wildlife (2018) 94% EDIT “Sadly, there's nothing really ingénue being said with these exacting illustrations of long-gone American life, as his bow isn't much more than an interesting vanity piece, soon to be forgotten come next the next festival season of our discontent.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Girlfriend's Day (2017) 50% EDIT “Stephenson stages scenes with the static sensibility of a sketch comedy director, letting each performer roll with their respective odd duck performances.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Nov 1, 2018 Full Review Hunter Killer (2018) 38% EDIT “Hunter Killer is Medium Butler at best, but right now Medium Butler is still delivering some well-done ham, and you could do a lot worse in terms of a silver screen Big Mac.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 26, 2018 Full Review The Standoff at Sparrow Creek (2018) 78% EDIT “Dunham's debut is a taut, tight work of pulp fiction that's practically predestined to draw comparisons to Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 18, 2018 Full Review The Clovehitch Killer (2018) 79% EDIT “By The Clovehitch Killer's tragic finale, we're able to forgive any sort of experimental misfires since it sticks the landing so well.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 16, 2018 Full Review Widows (2018) 91% EDIT “Steve McQueen makes this slice of high pulp a gloriously fun time at the movies.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 12, 2018 Full Review The Oath (2018) 63% EDIT “What we're left with is undeniable promise, and a film that's the very epitome of falling just short of greatness.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 12, 2018 Full Review Dragged Across Concrete (2018) 76% EDIT “S. Craig Zahler returns with an idiosyncratic cop movie masterstroke.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 10, 2018 Full Review Halloween (2018) 79% EDIT “It's tough to totally knock a movie that rips this hard with a crowd of the devoted.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 10, 2018 Full Review Hold the Dark (2018) 69% EDIT “While the movie arrives at a bit of an anti-climax... Hold the Dark still returns to the key idea that we all run with our own packs, in one way or another.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 3, 2018 Full Review A Star Is Born (2018) 90% EDIT “Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born is brazen widescreen craft that goes for the throat and makes no bones about wanting to leave you a sopping wet mass of tears by the time its credits roll.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 2, 2018 Full Review The Guilty (2018) 98% EDIT “Möller's direction allows us to truly feel Asger's desperation.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 27, 2018 Full Review Close Enemies (2018) 55% EDIT “This is an unfussy genre entry that seasoned fans will eat up, thanks to the no-nonsense attention to world and character building.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 27, 2018 Full Review Destroyer (2018) 74% EDIT “Despite Destroyer's haunting final images, it's hard not to feel mildly unfulfilled by the time the end credits roll.” – Birth.Movies.Death.
