4.5/5
EDIT
“Yorgos Lanthimos' latest is a dark, discomforting satire for our polarized political era, and an excellent 'Eddington' companion piece.” –

Vicious (2025)

2/5
EDIT
“As with her previous effort, a fully invested Fanning delivers a compelling performance in a thematically confused horror movie that fails to stick the landing.” –

Together (2025)

5/5
EDIT
“Rare is the film that can capture the brutal honesty of our most intimate relationships with such clarity, let alone one that successfully balances searing humor with distinct existential dread.” –

Death of a Unicorn (2025)
52%
3/5
EDIT
“In terms of sociopolitical horror comedies, you could do much better (Get Out) or worse (Don't Look Up) than director Alex Scharfman's feature debut, a fine way to spend an hour and 44 minutes.” –

The Apprentice (2024)

4/5
EDIT
“Around the halfway point, The Apprentice takes a jarring turn and transitions from a darkly comedic character study into a deeply unsettling horror film.” –

Mr. Crocket (2024)
67%
3/5
EDIT
“Set in 1993, with a VHS aesthetic and gory practical effects to match, Mr. Crocket spins millennial nostalgia into a perfectly passable supernatural parable.” –

Ick (2024)

3.5/5
EDIT
“There's never a dull moment in Ick, which modernizes a classic premise before sticking it in a time machine and sending it back to 2006.” –

Anora (2024)
93%
5/5
EDIT
“Baker's most entertaining film to date, Anora is the sort of intoxicating character study that the filmmaker has become known for – a riveting slice of life on the margins of society with John Cassavetes' DNA coursing through its veins.” –

Thanksgiving (2023)
83%
EDIT
“Slightly overcooked and would benefit from a trim... Still, it’s hard to criticize Roth too harshly for what is ultimately the kind of movie we need more of: perfectly enjoyable, mid-budget horror films with simple hooks and solid splatter.” –

Saw X (2023)
81%
EDIT
“It has everything you want from a solid Saw sequel: brilliant and brutal traps, a game involving multiple players, and a deep resentment of the capitalist machinery that keeps us simultaneously oppressed by and dependent upon the turning of its wheels.” –

Saltburn (2023)

EDIT
“Saltburn isn’t content with merely eating the rich. It wants to salivate on them like a fly readying its meal; it devours them slowly, savoring every tender morsel. ” –

Strange Darling (2023)
96%
EDIT
“Strange Darling is one hell of a thrill ride. Mollner’s script is sharp and systematic, bolstered by a breathtaking performance from Fitzgerald, who absolutely tears into the role -- all the way down to the gristle and marrow. ” –

The Toxic Avenger (2023)
87%
EDIT
“The Toxic Avenger is exactly as advertised. It does what it says on the tin. It’s comically violent, absurdly gory, and extremely silly. But it’s also a timely “eat the rich” story infused with an earnest working class perspective.” –

The Invisible Man (2020)
92%
EDIT
“To say The Invisible Man is satisfying seems inadequate; there's something glorious about the film's conclusion, which may feel to some men every bit as horrific as the implications of Florence Pugh's facial expression in the final shot of Midsommar.” –
