Wormtown (2025) 7/10 EDIT “What hits hardest, though, isn’t the gore or the mythology, it’s the melancholy baked into the lead’s journey and the idea that survival can be as emotionally corrosive as infection. ” – Film Threat Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Primitive War (2025) 65% 5/5 EDIT “Primitive War is, improbably, the most entertaining dinosaur film in years. It’s chaotic, heartfelt, brutal and oddly sincere. It knows its audience. It knows its influences. And it is an action movie with enough bite to make a Tyrannosaurus proud.” – Flickering Myth Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Pearl (2022) 93% 5/5 EDIT “Pearl is a bold, beautifully crafted character study that dares to blend old Hollywood glamour with the horror of a mind collapsing in on itself. ” – Flickering Myth Dec 2, 2025 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 73% 4/5 EDIT “MaXXXine is stylish, unruly fun with flashes of brilliance, but as a trilogy finale it feels oddly undernourished.” – Flickering Myth Dec 2, 2025 Full Review American Skyjacker (2025) 8/10 EDIT “For a story so wild, the film’s achievement lies in its restraint. American Skyjacker is gripping without being lurid, stylish without leaning on cliché, and genuinely gripping from start to finish. ” – Film Threat Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Creepshow 2 (1987) 36% 3/5 EDIT “Seen afresh, Creepshow 2 feels like a relic from a time when horror wore its artifice proudly. It’s rough around the edges, occasionally crass, and sometimes clumsy, but that’s part of its charm” – Flickering Myth Oct 24, 2025 Full Review The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 71% 4/5 EDIT “Brash, bloody, and knowingly ridiculous, but also smart enough to reinvent an entire sub-genre with a smile. For all its decaying flesh and flying limbs, it’s a film that’s very much alive.” – Flickering Myth Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Strange Harvest (2024) 92% 8/10 EDIT “Strange Harvest is a brutal, well-crafted descent into depravity that walks a tightrope between realism and horror fantasy. ” – Film Threat Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Stand Your Ground (2025) 6/10 EDIT “If you grew up on video store revenge flicks and have a soft spot for action that favours fists over finesse, this is serviceable, bullet-ridden fun. ” – Film Threat Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Abby's List: A Dogumentary (2025) 7/10 EDIT “Abby’s List: A Dogumentary is a warm, generous piece of filmmaking.” – Film Threat Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) 92% 8/10 EDIT “It may be the sixth film in a long-running franchise, but Final Destination: Bloodlines moves with the swagger of a series finding its groove all over again. ” – Film Threat May 19, 2025 Full Review Dead Mail (2024) 93% EDIT “In a landscape saturated with formula, Dead Mail feels bracingly singular. A modest triumph, posted first class straight to the heart.” – Flickering Myth May 2, 2025 Full Review V13 (2025) 8/10 EDIT “You don’t watch V13 for narrative comfort. You watch it to be rattled. And in that, it succeeds.” – Film Threat May 1, 2025 Full Review Time Passages (2024) 8/10 EDIT “Time Passages is an acquired taste. It forgoes neatness in favour of emotional resonance.” – Film Threat Apr 24, 2025 Full Review F Marry Kill (2025) 50% 6/10 EDIT “Truthfully, it’s a pleasant enough watch if you don’t ask too much from it. ” – Film Threat Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Cannibal Mukbang (2023) 93% 7/10 EDIT “It is audacious, messy, and oddly romantic.” – Film Threat Mar 26, 2025 Full Review Die Alone (2024) 81% EDIT “Not quite a game-changer, but certainly a refreshing detour in a well-trodden landscape, Die Alone is a zombie thriller with a heart – albeit a heart overgrown with creeping vines. Well worth a watch.” – Flickering Myth Mar 24, 2025 Full Review Time Travel Is Dangerous (2024) 76% 4/5 EDIT “With its low-budget ingenuity, knowing winks to classic British sci-fi, and a genuine affection for its characters and setting, Time Travel Is Dangerous! feels like the kind of film destined for cult status. ” – Flickering Myth Mar 24, 2025 Full Review The Heirloom (2024) 8/10 EDIT “The Heirloom is lean and sharp, a film that knows exactly what it’s doing even when its protagonist doesn’t.” – Film Threat Mar 21, 2025 Full Review The Accidental Getaway Driver (2023) 84% 7/10 EDIT “More than just a crime thriller, The Accidental Getaway Driver is a melancholic journey through the quiet corners of lost souls.” – Film Threat Mar 13, 2025 Full Review
