Return to Silent Hill (2026) 18% 1/5 EDIT “The worst thing is, Silent Hill 2 is the type of story that could make for a great psychological horror film. But Gans doesn't get the appeal of the original game. ” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Pike River (2025) 4/5 EDIT “it's a quietly powerful examination of the devastation corporate greed can bring upon people and how bonds that are formed through shared pain can be powerful enough to enact change – including changing the government. ” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Jan 20, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 5/5 EDIT “There are few other films with perfectly timed jump scares likely to linger in the memory, brutal scenes of torture, humanistic looks at fear-mongering, and Ralph Fiennes singing Duran Duran's Girls on Film.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 4/5 EDIT “It wraps things up, but there's no feeling of cohesion – something that was never going to be in Chu's hands, and for what he has, he excels at.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “It’ll be controversial, but ambition and trying are not to be sniffed at and should instead be encouraged. This franchise doesn’t bleed, so no, we can’t kill it.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 2/4 EDIT “This can join the pile of so-so biopics that might take up space in the awards season and then get forgotten very soon afterwards. Decidedly not boss.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Oct 19, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 5/5 EDIT “A genuinely funny, and oddly romantic film, about two people falling in love for the first time all over again.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Fucktoys (2025) 96% 4/5 EDIT “As an offbeat, silly and very original debut it signposts Sriram as a bold new filmmaker” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Oct 12, 2025 Full Review Bad Apples (2025) 83% 2/5 EDIT “If the purpose is to be a good showcase for Ronan, she's had better; if it's meant to be a rip-roaring romp it's failed at that.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Oct 10, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “This might be one of the year's most important films: a call to arms, that has the strength of its convictions to be very funny but also shockingly pointed in its assessment of where America is at the current time.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “It's a film that found it's audience the way Brad and Janet found Frank's castle: by total accident, and of course, by absolute fate.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Red Sonja (2025) 56% 2/5 EDIT “Red Sonja is not a total failure, but this revamp of the warrior that many people hold dear is pretty boring in places and does a disservice to its entire cast – except Tony Way who manages to snag the film's only laugh. Good for him.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Sep 11, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% 3/5 EDIT “A definitive step up from the previous film. Chaves' direction creates some tense sequences that build to some shit-your-pants jumps which the director clearly relishes but doesn't have the deftness to handle the more emotional core of the film.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Freakier Friday (2025) 73% 3/5 EDIT “Jamie Lee Curtis is funny, and Lindsay Lohan deserves bigger and better work. Chad Michael Murray still makes audiences swoon. Julia Butters is a rising star. And Disney were stupid to not move forward with that reboot of Lizzie McGuire.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Aug 6, 2025 Full Review The Bad Guys 2 (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “For the under tens, the multiple dress up jokes and fart jokes will keep them laughing when the film talks about things like friend zoning, and second chances, while it's possible most adults might start to question the film's internal logic.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Perpetrator (2023) 79% 2/5 EDIT “At times one suspects it's an audience of one: Jennifer Reeder herself, sat in a darkened theatre with a wry smirk.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Jul 20, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Superman is what we could be, who we should aspire to, and Gunn gets that. It's a film about someone realising they are enough, and that we can be enough too. Like Richard Donner did so many years ago, Gunn will make you believe a man can fly. ” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% 4/5 EDIT “As it is this might be the best sequel to a Jurassic film that Steven Spielberg didn't direct, it reminds us that there is an awe and wonder to dinosaurs that turns even the most hardened adult into a little kid.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Elio (2025) 83% 4/5 EDIT “This might be the most enjoyable and emotionally engaging a Pixar film has been since the first Inside Out. ” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Jun 19, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% 3/5 EDIT “feels like a mash up of two different visions, one a badly edited and slap-dashy told revenge story, the other a more fun entry into the canon that furthers the mythology of this underworld” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Jun 9, 2025 Full Review The Life of Chuck (2024) 80% 4/5 EDIT “The Life of Chuck is one of those rare things, a film that wraps you up in its slowly unfurling spell and tells you, it's all okay. That might be shocking to hear from two masters of horror stories, but as the film keeps telling us: we contain multitudes.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Jun 3, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% 2/5 EDIT “Sadly, the fuse burns out with a fizzle not a bang.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine May 15, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “It's ironic that a film about the void of depression and facing one's own internal conflict can be such a joy, but then again… films, like people, can contain paradoxes and multitudes.” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Apr 29, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 62% 3/5 EDIT “As it stands, The Amateur isn't awful, nor is it a success. ” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Ship of Dreams: Titanic Movie Diaries (2023) 2/5 EDIT “Being in a big film is amazing, and the film and boat live on in memory… so what?” – FILMHOUNDS Magazine Apr 3, 2025 Full Review
