Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% 1.5/5 EDIT “Game creator Scott Cawthon delivers one of the sloppier screenplays of the year, relying on video game logic to propel the film’s narrative and displaying an utter lack of faith in the intelligence of his young viewers. ” – Daily Dead Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Regretting You (2025) 29% 3/5 EDIT “In the end, everything special about “Regretting You” comes down to the performances of Williams, Grace, Thames and Franco.” – TheWrap Oct 22, 2025 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) 15% 2/5 EDIT “The film’s singular saving grace is Petsch’s performance, which is so solid that it gives you a reason to care just a little bit in spite of the film that it’s packaged in. ” – Daily Dead Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) 95% 4.5/5 EDIT “If you ever wondered what would happen if Mad Max Fury Road met the Fast and the Furious franchise, this is it. Physics have no place here, all of the space is occupied by insane action and incredible heart.” – Tech Advisor Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% 5/5 EDIT “Where The Black Phone was a story of survival, Black Phone 2 is one of reclaiming and growing into your own power. ” – Nerdist Sep 24, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% 4/5 EDIT “Though the heavy-handedness of its messaging might be a turnoff for some, it feels completely necessary for the subject matter. With the story being elevated by strong performances, incredible set design and a banger score, HIM is impossible to ignore.” – Tech Advisor Sep 18, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 4 EDIT “There are endless adaptations of Stephen King’s many, many (many) novels. Some are great, most are just ok — as is the case for all art — and some are absolute stinkers. Francis Lawrence’s The Long Walk falls under the “great” category.” – Tech Advisor Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) 33% 6/10 EDIT “Say what you will about what this now-concluded chapter in DC cinematic history deserves... Arthur Curry going out on his own terms with a complete disinterest in wHaT iT aLl MeAnS fOr ThE fRaNcHiSe is both incredibly on-brand and objectively funny.” – IGN Movies Dec 21, 2023 Full Review The Iron Claw (2023) 89% 5/10 EDIT “Unfortunately, great performances and reverence for the sport aren’t enough to save a film at odds with itself.” – IGN Movies Dec 13, 2023 Full Review The Marvels (2023) 63% 8/10 EDIT “Both funny and heartfelt, Nia DaCosta’s MCU debut will have you asking when she and her leading ladies are coming back immediately after the credits roll.” – IGN Movies Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Totally Killer (2023) 85% 7/10 EDIT “Totally Killer may not reinvent the wheel, but its blend of Scream meets Disney Channel Original movie gets the job done quite admirably. ” – IGN Movies Sep 29, 2023 Full Review Saw X (2023) 81% 7/10 EDIT “Almost 20 years into the franchise, Saw X showcases an emotional depth that manages to take one of these stories higher than ever before. ” – IGN Movies Sep 28, 2023 Full Review The Toxic Avenger (2023) 87% 6/10 EDIT “It struggles to deliver on the schlocky goodness of Troma’s stronger films. Still, what it lacks in so-bad-it’s-good silliness it makes up for with its heart and mostly practical slaughterfests. ” – IGN Movies Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Scream VI (2023) 77% 9/10 EDIT “Scream 6 doesn’t achieve perfection, but by highlighting the newly dubbed Core Four, hitting all the right emotional beats, and dialing the brutality up to eleven, it comes dang close.” – IGN Movies Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Disenchanted (2022) 38% 7/10 EDIT “The movie’s only real sin is some dull lyrics for rough songs. Amy Adams’ return as Giselle is a charming one, and families will have plenty of fun sitting down to watch this sequel together.” – IGN Movies Nov 18, 2022 Full Review Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) 65% 7/10 EDIT “Some shoddy greenscreen work pulls Hocus Pocus 2 down, but otherwise it feels like a Disney Channel Original Movie in a charming way.” – IGN Movies Sep 29, 2022 Full Review Lightyear (2022) 74% 7/10 EDIT “Lightyear features striking visuals, strong performances, and a love-out-loud lesbian relationship that we’re thrilled to see on screen. All of those things deserved a stronger story, though. ” – IGN Movies Jun 13, 2022 Full Review Jurassic World Dominion (2022) 29% 7/10 EDIT “The film’s successful marriage of hardcore nostalgia and new challenges works in its favor, and I can’t wait to see what the franchise does next.” – IGN Movies Jun 8, 2022 Full Review Watcher (2022) 88% 7/10 EDIT “If you’re patient, the film will take you on one heck of a satisfying ride that’s kept comfortably above water by strong performances from Maika Monroe and Burn Gorman.” – IGN Movies Jun 6, 2022 Full Review Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) 73% 7/10 EDIT “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a Sam Raimi movie from top to bottom, for better and worse.” – IGN Movies May 3, 2022 Full Review Scream (2022) 76% 9/10 EDIT “The 5th entry into the Scream franchise sets up a future for the franchise that some may not have thought possible with a tight story, great performances, and stellar new directions.” – IGN Movies Jan 12, 2022 Full Review The Matrix Resurrections (2021) 63% 4/10 EDIT “The Matrix Resurrections is a bunch of really good ideas stacked together to make a bad - and sometimes ugly - film.” – IGN Movies Dec 21, 2021 Full Review Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) 93% 8/10 EDIT “Spider-Man: No Way Home bounces from hilarious to hurt with ease as both the darkest and funniest MCU Spider-Man entry to date.” – IGN Movies Dec 14, 2021 Full Review Nightmare Alley (2021) 80% 8/10 EDIT “While different from Guillermo del Toro's typical supernatural and sci-fi tales, Nightmare Alley stays firmly rooted in the reality. The brutality of man is on stark display here, but it's no match for the film's femme fatale and its kindly lead.” – IGN Movies Dec 3, 2021 Full Review Eternals (2021) 47% 7/10 EDIT “Eternals is beautifully shot and terrifically acted, but it bites off more than it can chew in its third act.” – IGN Movies Oct 24, 2021 Full Review
