Ghost Killer (2024) 96% B EDIT ““Ghost Killer” is still a hell of a ride, and a good time for anyone who is looking for a unique and capital-f-Fun time. ” – The Playlist Sep 25, 2024 Full Review Seeking Mavis Beacon (2024) 76% B EDIT ““Seeking Mavis Beacon” is one of the most interesting and thoughtful docs you’ll likely see all year.” – The Playlist Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Mother, Couch (2023) 40% B+ EDIT ““Mother, Couch” is a delightful, sometimes hard-hitting family drama that will stay with you for a long time after you watch. ” – The Playlist Jul 13, 2024 Full Review Longlegs (2024) 85% A- EDIT ““Longlegs” is a film that will crawl under your skin and live there for 100 minutes. It will make you uncomfortable. You’ll squirm in your seat. You’ll want to close your eyes, but you can’t. You will feel a compulsion to watch and let it wash over you. ” – The Playlist Jul 13, 2024 Full Review Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain (2023) 42% C- EDIT ““The Treasure of Foggy Mountain,” while having its share of laugh-out-loud moments and trademark bizarre humor, is primarily a lifeless mess, just not really connecting in any meaningful way and often just too silly to function in a movie form.” – The Playlist Nov 18, 2023 Full Review When Evil Lurks (2023) 96% B+ EDIT “At no point in “When Evil Lurks” will the viewer feel like this is a bad film.” – The Playlist Oct 31, 2023 Full Review The Contestant (2023) 92% B+ EDIT “Sheds light on an impactful cultural moment and does so in a clever and thoughtful way. ” – The Playlist Sep 14, 2023 Full Review Sorry/Not Sorry (2023) 82% C EDIT “If you’re hoping for the filmmakers to go a step further and really examine the fallout of the #MeToo movement through the lens of Louis C.K.’s situation, “Sorry/Not Sorry” lacks any real bite. ” – The Playlist Sep 13, 2023 Full Review Cobweb (2023) 58% B+ EDIT ““Cobweb” is a cult classic in the making. It's an absolute delight and a blast to watch, highlighted by stellar performances from its cast.” – The Playlist Jul 22, 2023 Full Review Bad Things (2023) 54% D EDIT “A melodramatic relationship drama featuring childish, obnoxious characters with not one thrilling or haunting moment. ” – The Playlist Jun 17, 2023 Full Review A Good Person (2023) 57% C- EDIT “Zach Braff presents another competent movie that checks all of the dramatic boxes.” – The Playlist Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Upon Entry (2022) 100% A- EDIT “A captivating, suspenseful, and well-crafted drama. ” – The Playlist Mar 20, 2023 Full Review Brooklyn 45 (2023) 91% B- EDIT “ Anything but a typical ghost story.” – The Playlist Mar 19, 2023 Full Review Sorcery (2023) 87% B+ EDIT “On the surface, “Sorcery” is a revenge film about a girl’s desire for vengeance, but below the surface is a gorgeous showcase of misunderstood Indigenous traditions and beliefs. ” – The Playlist Mar 14, 2023 Full Review Children of the Corn (2020) 11% F EDIT “This is the type of film that will be used by horror fans, for years to come, to explain why remakes are a black cloud (or toxic corn dust, as shown in the film) over the entire genre.” – The Playlist Mar 9, 2023 Full Review Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls (2023) 66% C- EDIT “As it stands now, despite a delightful, endearing performance from Bowser, “Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls” is a competent, if not bland horror-comedy shockingly afraid to really take risks…” – The Playlist Jan 26, 2023 Full Review V/H/S/99 (2022) 75% C+ EDIT “Compared to some of the other installments of the “V/H/S” franchise, “V/H/S/99” doesn’t reach the same heights as some of the more inspired segments ” – The Playlist Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Clerks III (2022) 63% B- EDIT “It’s the only “Clerks” sequel that needed to get made..” – The Playlist Sep 13, 2022 Full Review A Compassionate Spy (2022) 81% B EDIT “ Steve James’ film not only convinces you to believe that a compassionate spy can exist but also to have compassion for a man who committed a traitorous act.” – The Playlist Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Leonor Will Never Die (2022) 91% B+ EDIT “Steeped in loss and grief, "Leonor Will Never Die," is ultimately a beautiful, life-affirming celebration of the power of film and art to heal.” – The Playlist Jan 29, 2022 Full Review Speak No Evil (2022) 83% A- EDIT “"Speak No Evil" might not be a thrill-a-minute film, but it's effective in a way that many horror movies just aren't anymore.” – The Playlist Jan 29, 2022 Full Review Kate (2021) 45% B EDIT “"Kate" works better than it has any right to, thanks in no small part to its charismatic leads, a heaping helping of style, and a story that is effective, surprisingly emotional and led by sober feelings of remorse and atonement.” – The Playlist Sep 10, 2021 Full Review Censor (2021) 89% B+ EDIT “Censor is an impressive, visually-stunning, deeply disturbing debut from Prano Bailey-Bond and a showcase for Niamh Algar, who gives a truly spectacular performance.” – The Playlist Jan 29, 2021 Full Review Spontaneous (2020) 96% B EDIT “"Spontaneous" is far from perfect, with its early tonal issues, but over time Brian Duffield's debut feature reveals itself as a sweet, often funny romance that will tickle your heartstrings as you wipe the blood spatter from your eyes.” – The Playlist Oct 13, 2020 Full Review Lost Girls & Love Hotels (2020) 50% B- EDIT “Thanks to Daddario's performance, Lost Girls is at least a compelling look at the seedier side of Japan through the entrancing eyes of an American woman on the verge of collapse.” – The Playlist Sep 18, 2020 Full Review
