Mortal Kombat II (2026) 65% 3/5 EDIT “Full of zingy one-liners (all hail Josh Lawson as Kano), fatalities, and a ton of game characters, this is a super fun video game adaptation. Mortal Kombat II throws the silly beat-em-up gauntlet down for Streetfighter later in the year. ” – THN May 6, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Although Hokum has an intriguing central location, the combination of the tired and tested story elements and Adam Scott’s performance make Hokum feel like a mid-tier video game adaptation, minus the source material. ” – THN Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Pitfall (2025) 3/5 EDIT “127 Hours by way of Wrong Turn, on paper Pitfall’s union of popular subgenres shouldn’t work, and yet each narrative half distracts from the other’s shortcomings, creating an unexpectedly entertaining subgenre mashup. ” – THN Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Exit 8’s director Genki Kawamura does great work at bringing the world of the video game to life, but distracts himself trying to tell a tropey storyline that almost unravels his hard earned atmosphere. ” – THN Apr 24, 2026 Full Review And Her Body Was Never Found (2026) 3/5 EDIT “The decline of a toxic relationship caught it all its uncomfortable glory, And Her Body Was Never Found, is perfect for those that don’t mind their films dialogue and intensity heavy. ” – THN Apr 24, 2026 Full Review The Furious (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The Furious is a blistering assault on the senses, and a masterclass in the art of levelling oneself up. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, out comes the [redacted] and turns everything on its head. ” – THN Apr 22, 2026 Full Review Obsession (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Far more than a gimmick premise, Obsession presents a wickedly warped spin on the age-old adage of be careful what you wish for. Packed with astute commentary, frights and WTF moments, Obsession has the potential to be a mean-spirited classic. ” – THN Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 47% 3/5 EDIT “There is no denying that Lee Cronin is a dab hand at knowing all the gross ways to nauseate his audience. When it comes to a story that one can dig into however, The Mummy falls short, and at over two hours long, it is in danger of outstaying its welcome.” – THN Apr 16, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Undertone shines a light on just how important sound design is at creating atmosphere, whilst also instilling negative space with a sense of dread, the two approaches ensuring some sleepless nights in the viewer’s future. ” – THN Apr 6, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% 4/5 EDIT “Quite whether fans of the original agree remains to be seen, but, when viewed as a serial killer horror akin to The Silence of the Lambs, Goldhaber’s Faces of Death works. ” – THN Apr 6, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 74% 3/5 EDIT “Doing just enough to please the fans of the original, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come has an overreliance on familiarity, which dulls its sparkle a little too much. ” – THN Mar 20, 2026 Full Review He Bled Neon (2026) 3/5 EDIT “Neon has truly never looked better on screen than in Drew Kirsch’s He Bled Neon. A feature debut that shows plenty of promise, this engaging crime Vegas crime thriller is certainly worth keeping an eye out for. ” – THN Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Imposters (2026) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Venturing into directions not revealed in its synopsis, Imposters grips the viewer from its cold open to its twisty truths, becoming a fantastic example of parental nightmares done right. ” – THN Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Fifteen (2026) 4/5 EDIT “A monstrous tale of the bond of friendship and the pain its dissolution can bring, Fifteen is equal parts Ginger Snaps and Eighth Grade, making it a coming-of-age horror that nails both the high-school politics and the horror. ” – THN Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Protein (2024) 4/5 EDIT “A decade of hard work pays off for director Tony Burke, with Protein a fascinating study of a broken and depraved mind. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Bogieville (2024) 3/5 EDIT “An interesting take on the vampire film, Bogieville is very much not the film it would lead you to believe, the result being a mixed bag of peaks and troughs. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Noseeums (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Conflicting storylines battle for dominance in what is otherwise a soundly made movie. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review He Kills at Night (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Far more than The Hitcher as Christmas, He Kills at Night is a tension fuelled nightmare whose final destination is certainly worth the ride. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Don't Let the Cat Out (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Not quite as fun as the premise teases and tonally a tad loose in formation, Don’t Let the Cat Out is greatest when leaning into its camper and more outrageous side. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Death Cycle (2025) 3/5 EDIT “With little plot or character propulsion, Death Cycle gets over the finish line thanks to some inventive methods of torture, a killer soundtrack, and a whiplash inducing pace. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review The Confession (2025) 3/5 EDIT “As intriguing as the story subversions are, The Confession remains a fairly standard and generic genre offering. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review The Caretaker (2025) 4/5 EDIT “It is clear that a lot of care and attention has gone into The Caretaker’s construction and the result is a film that, although not overtly horror, creates a horribly unsettling atmosphere. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review The Arborist (2025) 4/5 EDIT “A film bathed in overwhelming tragedy and emotional devastation, The Arborist is on heck of an emotionally fraught haunted folk horror. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review A Blind Bargain (2025) 3/5 EDIT “A beautiful, but somewhat confusing, movie A Blind Bargain is a visual delight, but the audience needs a little more purchase to fully invest. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Heel (The Good Boy) (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Jan Komasa continues to be a director of interest with The Good Boy, a film that is far more exciting and deep than its basic premise suggests. ” – THN Mar 15, 2026 Full Review
