Over Your Dead Body
(2026)
|
Matt Donato
|
Over Your Dead Body is cynical but compassionate; merciless but with tongue-in-cheek justice ... [but] doesn't avoid standard complaints of Americanized remakes.

The Howling
(1981)
|
Derek Botelho
|
Dee Wallace and the entire company give themselves over to Dante's dark and at times oddly placed humor, with generally admirable results.

The Saviors
(2026)
|
Matt Donato
|
It's a quirky, comical, and cautionary tale about the broken American mindset that nails its peeping-tom thrills, but isn't as airtight as it thinks in execution.

Pretty Lethal

Jewson's "girlie" action flick hits back, takes pride in its bruises, and is anything but a reductive description.

Monitor
(2026)

Monitor isn't found footage, but it has a Butterfly Kisses quality to its approach (complimentary) ... a techno-horror terror that thoughtfully questions the ethics of content vetting corporations.

It's [the Bacons' ode to] One Cut of the Dead, a sappy genre love letter to the act of filmmaking by creators who adore making movies.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
(2026)
|
Matt Donato
|
Radio Silence’s latest is feisty, ferocious, and back with a vengeance, stirring plenty of excitement should they want to continue making Ready or Not movies until Grace has vanquished every last tyrannical wannabe who Mr. Le Bail exposes.

RoboCop 2

RoboCop 2 is too fragmented and episodic, and (like its titular character) a tad too coldly metallic.

RoboCop 3
(1993)
|
Patrick Bromley

If RoboCop 2 suffered from an overcrowding of the story, RoboCop 3 outdoes it in every arena: story, number of characters, even what's on screen—the frame feels too busy most of the time.

THE BRIDE!

House

When it comes to horror comedies of the ’80s, House is something truly special, and much of that is due to the cast’s commitment to the oddball spook-fest’s ridiculously fun antics.

Misery

Steph Howard

Even though Misery moves slowly, it's easy to get wrapped up in Annie's world, cowering and wondering what comes next. Fanaticism combined with instability is a terrible mix for Paul Sheldon, but perfect for keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.
