The Witch (2015) 91% 4/5 EDIT “The Witch is a fine achievement in folk horror. The authenticity of dialogue, design and dress adds a rich layer to a genuinely disturbing tale that's sure to get under the skin for days.” – Orlando Weekly Feb 18, 2016 Full Review The Revenant (2015) 78% 4.5/5 EDIT “In its scope, The Revenant is absolutely tremendous. It's an "epic" story that actually feels epic.” – Bloody Disgusting Dec 4, 2015 Full Review Bone Tomahawk (2015) 91% 4/5 EDIT “The rewarding Western elements transition smoothly into the world of horror, like the sun moving behind a cloud. And yeah, things get dark and startlingly violent.” – Orlando Weekly Nov 19, 2015 Full Review Some Kind of Hate (2015) 37% 2.5/5 EDIT “Amidst all the flashes of gore and rage, Some Kind of Hate fails to deliver on an emotional level. It's an interesting film for sure, but without a connection to the characters, it's tough for the horror and drama to make an impact.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review The Invitation (2015) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Addresses very adult issues and is a very dark slow-burn that escalates towards a wickedly shocking climax.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Shrew's Nest (2014) 95% 4/5 EDIT “A wicked little film about family ties and the painful constraints of memory. What starts out as a devilish family drama between two sisters transforms into a mad grasp for desperate companionship on one side and straight up survival on the other.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review The Boy (2015) 67% 4/5 EDIT “Truly gets under the skin and festers. It can feel arduous at times, almost aimless, but by the time the climax kicks in, the deliberate pace and disconnect from backstory fully reveal the terrifying impact of mommy's little monster.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Felt (2014) 64% 3.5/5 EDIT “Felt sucks us in through the character of Amy and forces its audience to confront the ugly truths about gender in our culture.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Therapy for a Vampire (2014) 63% 4/5 EDIT “A seductive and hilarious take on vampire lore with a script and cast that nails the coffin tight.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review A Perfect Man (2015) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Before watching Un Homme Idal (A Perfect Man), grow your fingernails out a few days because those bastards will be bit down to the quick while watching this unbearably tense thriller.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review 13 Cameras (2015) 82% 3/5 EDIT “Slumlord is a suspenseful, distressing film to watch. I was in desperate need of a shower afterwards.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Office (2015) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Both the tedious and vicious backstabbing aspects of office politics are used as a springboard for a film that teeters between an office drama and a straight-up slasher that gets a bit garbled at the end.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Ludo (2014) 2/5 EDIT “Shrugs off cohesiveness and a palpable message in favor of bloody havoc as it hurls its audience into sheer chaos during its latter half.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Cruel (2014) 3.5/5 EDIT “The gloomy cinematography and the performances all heighten this bummer vibe while also creating a suspenseful tone that threatens to snap our senses at any moment.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Observance (2015) 69% 4/5 EDIT “Devoid of any big flashes of violence, Observance is pure psychological horror.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Synchronicity (2015) 48% 3.5/5 EDIT “Despite its visual similarities to other films, Synchronicity is its own little beast - one that enjoys toying with genre tropes (particularly the femme fatale) as much as it honors them.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Ojuju (2014) 80% 3/5 EDIT “While it may not have had the biggest budget (or one at all), Ojuju is an entertaining film that makes due with slim resources. The story treads some familiar territory, but placing it in cultural context makes it more fresh and vital.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review The Curse of Downers Grove (2015) 9% 2/5 EDIT “Considering Ellis' previous work (The Canyons aside), I wasn't expecting such an uninspired, middle of the road film.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Even Lambs Have Teeth (2015) 3.5/5 EDIT “While the initial premise of Lambs sounds like your run-of-the-mill rape-revenge tale, Miles' film throws some well-aimed curveballs and reaches an almost giddy level of revenge in its third act.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Night Fare (2015) 2/5 EDIT “Night Fare begins to take itself painfully seriously and humorless. All the fun and excitement is drained out of the film as hefty moralization and a left-field mythological twist take center stage.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review They Look Like People (2015) 92% 4/5 EDIT “It's pure psychological horror that's as tense as it is thoughtful. There are moments of extreme anxiety balanced with scenes exploring who Wyatt is behind his apparent mental illness.” – Bloody Disgusting Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Tangerine (2015) 96% 4.5 EDIT “Only when Tangerine puts on the brakes a bit can the sadness be seen, and it's then that the bittersweet undertone comes through.” – Orlando Weekly Sep 23, 2015 Full Review Return to Sender (2015) 14% 2.5 EDIT “Her performance makes this film digestible, but also makes us yearn for her to receive better roles in the future.” – Orlando Weekly Sep 23, 2015 Full Review The Overnight (2015) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Some challenging issues, like monogamy and sexual boundaries, are effectively explored. There are moments of troubling horror and moments several will find disturbingly relatable.” – Orlando Weekly Jul 10, 2015 Full Review Amy (2015) 96% 5/5 EDIT “A brilliant, sympathetic portrait of celebrity and addiction and the warts in between.” – Orlando Weekly Jul 10, 2015 Full Review
