Removal of the Eye (2024) Daniel Gorman The intermingling of the real with a fictional story creates a fascinating tension... It all adds up to a wonderful film, one that offers an unflinching portrait of raising a family in the 21st century.

State of Fear (2026) Lé Baltar There’s a lot of action here, but there’s no real thrill; a lot of buildup, only to snuff it out altogether and arrive at a generic commentary.

The Mortuary Assistant (2026) Daniel Gorman Kipp’s film probably should have stayed a computer game.

An American Pastoral (2024) Robert Stinner By focusing on the minutiae of a local election... Edler reveals much more about the current state of political affairs in the United States than one could by attempting a long view. The result is stark and foreboding.

Blades of the Guardians (2026) Matt McCracken Yuen Woo-ping has delivered an uncomplicatedly excellent exercise in tentpole spectacle.

For Worse (2025) Emily DuGranrut For Worse is clearly something of a personal project, but the film simply doesn’t attempt much more than to doggy paddle in the middlebrow waters of its own creation.

Twisted (2026) Jake Tropila Twisted is a bizarrely anemic affair, sure to disappoint gorehounds with the paucity of bloodshed on display.

The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) Jake Pitre This concluding chapter seems destined to please almost no one other than those mystical, befuddling folks who wanted to know what makes the Strangers tick. And even then... it’s difficult to imagine much satisfaction from such a languid experience.

Ghost Elephants (2025) Padaí Ó Maolchalann With sincerity, and some degree of artistry, Herzog crafts a sense of wonder that’s wholly necessary.. Ghost Elephants is a true act of guardianship.
Posted Mar 10, 2026  Edit critic review
Scream 7 (2026) Luke Gorham A [film] plagued by endless internal illogic, one which builds a bonfire out of previously beloved franchise tropes... and indulges so much high-on-its-own-supply winking that Narcan is needed just to keep this thing moving toward its climax.

AURORA: What Happened to the Earth? (2026) Joshua Polanski a boorishly conventional record of the final performance of her multi-year tour,

THE BRIDE! (2026) Andrew Dignan What this film ultimately recalls more than anything... is Joker: Folie à Deux. Like that overconfident dud, The Bride! is but another handsome-looking, deeply stupid film from a filmmaker whose reach exceeds their grasp.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Heel (The Good Boy) (2025) Christian Craig if Heel fails to innovate, it succeeds, in fits and starts, in its execution. It might not say anything new, but it says it well.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Hoppers (2026) Jefferson Everest Crawford Hope [in Hoppers] is left to a legislative future, offering a denouement that is almost cynically passive and depressingly familiar.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Psycho Killer (2026) Jake Tropila Walker’s screenplay... is shockingly lacking in creative juice, while a good deal of the leftover disappointment can be attributed to Polone’s utterly atmosphere-free direction
Posted Mar 02, 2026  Edit critic review
The Napa Boys (2025) Christian Craig All these limp provocations and smarmy self-references might be forgivable if The Napa Boys was simply funny... As it stands, it’s... a sweaty parody that trips over its own feet before it can land a punch.
Posted Feb 28, 2026  Edit critic review
In the Blink of an Eye (2026) Ethan J. Rosenberg While In the Blink of an Eye certainly pays lip service to life’s grand meaning, it is in fact a testament to humanity by someone who hates it... with all the visual ingenuity and thematic ambition of a corporate seminar.
Posted Feb 28, 2026  Edit critic review
The Bluff (2026) Joshua Polanski Flowers’ approach to the industry of piracy de-romanticizes the rogue seafarers and uses grim social conditions to realize pirates that a smart viewer can root for without guilt or reprise.

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) Ethan J. Rosenberg His Bazness inevitably dillydallies his way into some provocative and genuinely scintillating filmmaking... [but ultimately] the film manages the inconceivable: it minces the King of Rock & Roll into bits of meaningless trivia.
Posted Feb 25, 2026  Edit critic review
K-Pops! (2024) Chris Mello That [Anderson .Paak's] feature filmmaking debut is merely pleasant is a disappointment. It’s by no means a disaster, but that at least might have been more interesting.
Posted Feb 25, 2026  Edit critic review
Hellfire (2026) Matt Lynch Hellfire works just fine in its respect for the genre and classical sensibilities, but one longs to see an old talent like Florentine get back to the more filling meat and potatoes that elevated his films in the first place.
Posted Feb 20, 2026  Edit critic review
By Design (2025) Robert Stinner By Design, always pleasurable and charming to watch, nonetheless puts forth startling ideas.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Abe Beame The film feels destined to become a DVD-shelf comedy classic...that rewards multiple rewatches.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
How to Make a Killing (2026) Andrew Dignan How to Make a Killing is stuck between stations, retaining the cavalier attitude toward murder of the earlier film while failing to iterate on its gallows humor or derive comedic inspiration from the prescient theme of large failsons ruining the world.
Posted Feb 18, 2026  Edit critic review
Wuthering Heights (2026) Christian Craig Fennell... has made it no secret that she didn’t embark on a faithful adaptation, but the restraint she shows around Catherine and Heathcliff’s affair betrays an unsure footing.
Posted Feb 12, 2026  Edit critic review
Under Current (2025) Sean Gilman Under Current features an all-star cast of aging celebrities going through the convoluted motions of a screenplay built around needless complications and flash.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
ChaO (2025) Padaí Ó Maolchalann [ChaO] is a thrilling movie, burgeoning with vivid passion and uninhibited abandon, and a wondrous celebration of animation.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Fuori (2025) Michael Sicinski Has all the contours of a high-toned European biopic, but it unfortunately insists on keeping the viewer on the outside.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Scarlet (2025) Padaí Ó Maolchalann Hosoda’s reworking of Hamlet is too busy in its whirlwind mishmash... and thus it never develops its own ideas with much substance or conviction.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Dracula (2025) Jefferson Everest Crawford Besson understands precisely how the narrative of a melodramatic romp should progress, its beats accelerated so that the climax is upon us almost from the beginning.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Fish, Fists and Ambergris (2025) Sean Gilman An action-comedy in the Hong Kong style, with a distinctly handmade flavor.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
The Moment (2026) Christian Craig The Moment is a fine vehicle for a pop star and a welcome alternative to a perfunctory concert film, but nothing in Charli’s ascendency has come so close to feeling merely competent.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Crime 101 (2026) Andrew Dignan Layton is an able mimic, and in Crime 101 he steals from the best... but in truth the entire film could be couched as Michael Mann cosplay.

Return to Silent Hill (2026) Jake Tropila Return to Silent Hill is left only to exist as a case study in diminishing returns and exsanguinated genre, sure to disappoint fans and newcomers to the series alike.

Pillion (2025) Robert Stinner It’s to the director’s credit that, in uncovering an optimistic take on thorny narrative material, he manages to do so with both sexual frankness and genuine warmth.

Holding Liat (2025) Zachary Goldkind Kramer flimsily offers us a thought experiment, one where the suffering of Palestinians remains on the margins.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Joan of Arc (2025) Chris Cassingham With each successive film, the lines between reality and fiction have only blurred [in Pálmason's films], revealing a career-spanning inquiry into the generative possibilities of intermingling the real with the fictional.

Shelter (2026) Daniel Gorman [Shelter's] familiarity is part of the film’s low-key charm... sometimes a three-star movie just hits the spot as well as anything can.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Revolver Lily (2023) Fred Barrett There is no spark of inspiration to Yukisada’s images... Instead, all we get is cut-rate melodrama.
Posted Feb 11, 2026  Edit critic review
Worldbreaker (2025) Joshua Polanski Devoid of curiosity.
Posted Feb 09, 2026  Edit critic review
A Poet (2025) Padaí Ó Maolchalann If A Poet offers, overall, a somewhat familiar perspective on the tortured artist trope, the honesty and accuracy of the details in Mesa Soto’s script enliven it. Surprise may be largely absent, but nuance is not.

Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026) Patrick Fey If there is one lesson to be extracted from Greaves’ extraordinary document, it’s that history is malleable, is vibrant, is now.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
The Rip (2026) Matt Lynch Ludicrous and more than a little confusing, but... there’s mercifully little to complain about here. Your dad will love this, and you’ll have an okay time, too.

Islands (2025) Robert Stinner Islands is less likely to leave a viewer on the edge of their seat than it is to make them feel that they’ve dozed off on a picturesque beach.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
Send Help (2026) Andrew Dignan After wandering the wilderness himself for a number of years, it’s a profound comfort to have Raimi back doing what he does best.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
The Love That Remains (2025) Chris Cassingham In The Love That Remains, Pálmason weaves together a series of scenes that illustrate the passage of time, but splinter off and jump around according to a unique internal rhythm. But if these vignettes form a tapestry, then its threads are frayed.
Posted Jan 28, 2026  Edit critic review
H Is for Hawk (2025) Daniel Gorman One wishes the film was willing to go further with [its] philosophical inquiry, embracing the metaphysical alongside the dully literal.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Mercy (2026) Matt Lynch Mercy is complete junk, there’s no way around it, but if you tune into the very specific wavelength and have a tolerance for wholesale idiocy, there’s at least a genuine experience to be had.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Ethan J. Rosenberg The Bone Temple starts 2026 off keeling over to the headwinds of mediocrity and appealing to the goodwill of an audience it evidently hates through snarky humor and winking condescension at the material.

Primate (2025) Christian Craig You bought the ticket to see a monkey go nuts, and Roberts’ only goal seems to be delivering on that promise... [and] maybe that’s okay. Every generation needs its Cujo.
