28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)
93%
EDIT
“28 Year Later: The Bone Temple continues the terrifying tale of a deadly infection while never shedding the warmth that makes the series worth returning to” –

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025)

EDIT
“...by favoring the character reveals over basic plotting, FNAF2 becomes another fan-service mess for the "but it did well at the box office" heap.” –

Marty Supreme (2025)
93%
EDIT
“'Marty Supreme' is much more the next story of a fallible Safdie hurricane than it is a historical tribute to a late pioneer. And it’s all the better for it.” –

Black Phone 2 (2025)
72%
EDIT
“The first was held up by a hammy killer [...] and this covers him in a mask, makes him sometimes invisible, and weighs everyone down into a frozen lake with devastation porn and odd maxims that would have even sounded off coming from Mr. Freeze.” –

The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025)
15%
EDIT
“The Strangers trilogy might have well-acted and well shot (save for some really oddly placed CGI) horror scenes but the story is befuddling and does not warrant a three part event.” –

Exit 8 (2025)

“Just when you’re ready to groan at the idea of seeing that large “0” again, the movie changes the game to keep everything engaging beyond just watching someone blow it.” –

Ballad of a Small Player (2025)

EDIT
“Ballad of a Small Player is a gorgeously staged visual spectacle that uses plush velvet and sunlight to turn up the technicolor of Macau casinos and sharp dressed magnates.” –

Hedda (2025)

EDIT
“DaCosta has proven the character and her story of a woman’s repression to be timeless by placing her in the twentieth century and turning up the gas that ignites Hedda’s flame.” –

Christy (2025)

“With struggles in film craft and an overly ambitious cast seemingly working on different levels and tones, Christy is never able to land its emotional punches.” –

Hellcat (2025)
89%
EDIT
“A stripped-down horror tale meant not to be slotted into a category until its larger reveals become broadly known ... Its horror comes from toggling the true imminent threats and having its lead struggle along with the audience to decipher the real enemy.” –

I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)
36%
EDIT
“[...]for the most part, IKWYDLS is true to its parent film by being a bit of a whodunit while still a sparkly slasher about a masked killer slicing and dicing. In that way, it’s as close to a 90s slasher as any legacy sequel has ever been.” –

“Instead of making bigger, scarier, more monstrous infected, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland (director and writer, respectively) chose to examine the fallout of such a pandemic and war, comparing Spike and his father to the sorts of men made by global crises” –

“Mission: Impossible- The Final Reckoning is wise for having mostly abandoned the flimsy setups of its predecessor and instead creating the ultimate collection of some of the best heart-pounding action sequences of the entire franchise.” –

“'Bad Shabbos' wants us to laugh until we maybe toot and it’s mostly successful. Panicking family members and the comedic chops of people like Vayntrub and Method Man make for the tense kinds of laughs you want in this single location bruhaha” –

Fight or Flight (2024)
76%
EDIT
“The story is a vessel for a flick that lets a heartthrob on a “comeback” tour show audiences what he’s made of. The result is the gift of a grinning hunk throwing around a collection of limbs, blunt objects, artillery, and anything with a sharp edge.” –
