28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% EDIT “Offering up such a fresh tableau really lets DaCosta’s filmmaking instincts soar, particularly in a bombastic climactic set piece that’s nothing short of enthralling.” – The Spool Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 79% EDIT “Primate’s weird screenwriting problems are especially exasperating as the monkey, er, ape business is far better-than-expected.” – The Spool Jan 10, 2026 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% EDIT “[Dust Bunny's] full of vibrant images and aesthetics that a fresh wave of audiences can call their own.” – The Spool Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% EDIT “Unfortunately, [Paul Feig's] straightforward visual sensibilities rob The Housemaid of the unpredictability it needs to flourish as a trashy thriller.” – The Spool Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% EDIT “Writer/director Chloé Zhao’s latest cinematic triumph, Hamnet, unflinchingly chronicles corporal agony.” – The Spool Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “[T]he film geek in me couldn’t ignore how Chu’s cinematic vision too often lacks verve.” – The Spool Dec 2, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% EDIT “[A] remarkably crafted production rife with extraordinary performances, imagery, and even a smattering of deftly executed comedic moments.” – The Spool Dec 2, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% EDIT “The revolution may start with The Running Man, but it is a stumbling beginning.” – The Spool Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Theater Is Dead (2025) EDIT “A movie that once breezed along at a good clip now juggles way too many narrative elements for its own good.” – The Spool Nov 1, 2025 Full Review CAMP (2025) 94% EDIT “valon Fast’s attempt to make Ginger Snaps/Jennifer’s Body/Raw by way of Lost Highway is better as individual pieces than as a cohesive whole” – The Spool Nov 1, 2025 Full Review A Useful Ghost (2025) 86% EDIT “Boonbunchachoke keeps things inspired right until the intentionally abrupt cut to credits.” – The Spool Nov 1, 2025 Full Review The Restoration at Grayson Manor (2025) 100% EDIT “If there’s a problem, though, it’s that McQuaid and Chapman can’t come up with a fittingly bizarre or darkly hysterical finale to wrap everything up.” – The Spool Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “[T]here’s a shocking dearth of vigor.” – The Spool Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% EDIT “Good Fortune’s low-key tempo is sometimes competent but not very impactful. Not even the charms of Keanu Reeves and Keke Palmer can minimize that reality.” – The Spool Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% EDIT “Cianfrance can’t quite nail his own feat of transitioning from Blue Valentine bleakness to crowd-pleaser cinema.” – The Spool Oct 8, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “One Battle After Another’s virtues would enthrall in any era.” – The Spool Sep 26, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% EDIT “[S]tagnancy epitomizes HIM’s greatest sin. It’s a buttoned-up movie struggling to channel freak impulses.” – The Spool Sep 19, 2025 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 36% EDIT “Throughout A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, there’s often too much exposition or self-referential “isn’t this weird?” quips.” – The Spool Sep 19, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% EDIT “Accentuating the compelling nature of The Long Walk is its sterling collection of performances.” – The Spool Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Honey Don't! (2025) 45% EDIT “Alas, Honey Don’t!, while not devoid of Ethan Coen charms or queer gal joys, left even this lesbian cinema lover cold.” – The Spool Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Ne Zha II (2025) 91% EDIT “It recalls Hellboy II: The Golden Army or Evil Dead II as a sequel that drastically improves on the original.” – The Spool Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Nobody 2 (2025) 76% EDIT “Unfortunately, serious storm clouds harsh Nobody 2’s sunny action vibes, courtesy of Derek Kolstad and Aaron Rabin’s overly cluttered screenplay.” – The Spool Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Saiyaara (2025) 63% EDIT “Going all-in on Kapoor in the third act is extra strange screenwriting decision considering Saiyaara has been filtered through Batra’s eyes up to this point. Drastically recentering the story’s focal point isn’t a gambit that pays off at all. ” – The Spool Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% EDIT “Zach Cregger’s Weapons is many things. A visual tour de force. A sporadically riotous dark comedy. The greatest showcase ofJulia Garner’s talents since The Assistant five years ago.” – The Spool Aug 8, 2025 Full Review She Rides Shotgun (2025) 88% EDIT “A solid mixture of a Corman McCarthy novel, Road to Perdition, and early 70s Al Pacino movies like The Panic in Needle Park or Scarecrows.” – The Spool Aug 1, 2025 Full Review
