I Know Exactly How You Die (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “The film succeeds as a bold exploration of creative authorship, psychological vulnerability, and the dangerous intersection between imagination and reality.” – Just for Movie Freaks Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “Send Help is a deceptively layered film that weaponizes genre fluidity to explore power, resentment, and survival on both social and primal levels.” – Just for Movie Freaks Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Only God Forgives (2013) 41% 2/5 EDIT “Only God Forgives is a movie to watch out for if you’re interested in artistic skills like cinematography and film-making.” – Just for Movie Freaks Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Smile... The Worst Is Yet to Come (2026) 4/5 EDIT “A deceptively powerful film—funny, painful, and honest. It captures a very specific emotional moment in modern adulthood with clarity and compassion, leaving you not with answers, but with recognition. Sometimes, that’s far more impactful.” – Just for Movie Freaks Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Blackout (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Blackout is a decent thriller with an intriguing premise and commendable ambition. Its strengths lie in atmosphere, concept, and runtime discipline, while its weaknesses stem from uneven execution in key interior sequences.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Big Girls Don't Cry (2026) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Big Girls Don’t Cry is a tender, emotionally grounded film that captures the confusion and vulnerability of growing up with remarkable sensitivity. ” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 29, 2026 Full Review The Frozen Ground (2013) 60% 2.5/5 EDIT “The Frozen Ground neither tackles particularly compelling themes nor offers an exhilarating plot. ” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Riddick (2013) 58% 2.5/5 EDIT “Riddick is a mediocre sci-fi movie which will entertain for the most part, certainly much better than I thought it would be.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Misfits (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Misfits succeeds more on emotional intent than technical finesse. Its celebration of friendship, loyalty, and imperfect people trying their best gives it a genuine core.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Raja Saab (2025) 2.75/5 EDIT “Its core concept and ambitious climax hint at a far more compelling film than what ultimately unfolds on screen.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Tafiti: Across the Desert (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Tafiti: Across the Desert is a sweet, emotionally sincere children’s film that succeeds through warmth rather than novelty.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Escape Plan (2013) 50% 2/5 EDIT “Escape Plan is an easy one time watch, which only depends on your own interest.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Almost Us (2026) 2.75/5 EDIT “Almost Us is a well-intentioned and a decently crafted indie film elevated significantly by Anthony Bawn’s star-making and charismatic performance.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 24, 2026 Full Review By the Grape of God (2026) 3.25/5 EDIT “It is a quiet journey about questioning purpose and rediscovering meaning, one that lingers not through grand statements, but through simple, human moments.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Murdercise (2023) 2.75/5 EDIT “Murdercise delivers exactly what it promises: a trashy, neon-soaked, unapologetically stupid good time. ” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 19, 2026 Full Review Battle of the Year (2013) 6% 1/5 EDIT “Battle of the Year is an awful attempt of the genre which may enthuse if you’re a person who loves to watch movies based on dance.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 19, 2026 Full Review Space/Time (2025) 3.25/5 EDIT “It’s a film that doesn’t just aim high for an independent project—it largely gets there.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 19, 2026 Full Review MIA (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Mia is a tense, performance-driven film that succeeds more through atmosphere and acting than narrative complexity.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 18, 2026 Full Review Holy Ghetto (2025) 3.25/5 EDIT “Raw, human, and emotionally resonant, offering a perspective that lingers long after the film ends.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Banana Split (2025) 3.25/5 EDIT “Banana Split is a sincere, well intentioned indie that understands its characters and their emotional terrain.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Out of the Furnace (2013) 53% 2.5/5 EDIT “Out of the Furnace is well acted, yet a forgettable movie. The outline was quite captivating but the narration and the writing was certainly a let down.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Fallaway (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Fallaway is a thoughtful, emotionally charged film that tackles a difficult subject with sincerity and restraint.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Our Happy Place (2024) 3.25/5 EDIT “Our Happy Place stands as a compelling example of covid-era filmmaking done with intention and craft. ” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Carrie (2013) 51% 2/5 EDIT “An unwanted modernised remake.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Waltzing with Brando (2024) 56% 3.5/5 EDIT “Waltzing with Brando stands out as an unconventional biopic that values ideas, ideals, and relationships over mythology.” – Just for Movie Freaks Jan 8, 2026 Full Review
