Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant (2026) 100% 8/10 EDIT “a sharply written script that uses an alien conception as a means to tell a story about expectation, choice, and parenthood. Sprinkle in at-times shocking body horror, and this has the makings of a film that, at a minimum, will have people talking.” – Geek Vibes Nation Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Mother of Flies (2025) 96% 8/10 EDIT “This is a special film. It is grotesque in the manner in which it presents death, yet blunt for a purpose. The fact that this film draws on the filmmakers' personal experiences makes the story all the more impactful.” – Geek Vibes Nation Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 59% 5.5/10 EDIT “There is a story somewhere in all this chaos, particularly one that speaks to police corruption and racial discrimination. The travesty is that the film never realizes its identity.” – Geek Vibes Nation Jan 14, 2026 Full Review Sleepwalker (2026) 14% 7/10 EDIT “An unsettling deep dive into grief that kept me on edge right until the end, which felt like a perfect ending to a dream. Abrupt and shocking.” – Geek Vibes Nation Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Left-Handed Girl (2025) 98% 8.5/10 EDIT “This first outing in the director's chair by Tsou is masterful. The story itself is touching. Lending itself to a guerrilla style of filmmaking, we are on the ground level in a way that never feels aggressive but intimate.” – Geek Vibes Nation Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Breakdown: 1975 (2025) 77% 10/10 EDIT “This documentary captures the feeling of America on the verge of a complete breakdown, and yet, rather than imploding, we turned to creative expression. Chaos became art. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Dec 21, 2025 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 86% 9/10 EDIT “Held together by a magnetic performance from Daisy Ridley, it still delivers the usual hits, but the story is a poignant offering on loss and grief—a beautifully shot and haunting tale.” – Geek Vibes Nation Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% 5/10 EDIT “The movie wants to be cotton candy with a bite, yet it feels like we've gone for the sweet stuff and unintentionally swallowed a box of rocks. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Come Closer (2024) 8.5/10 EDIT “This is a film that never becomes a sermon of emotional diatribes, but instead a complex and passionate deconstructing of loss. Come Closer breathes a unique breath into a familiar theme of grief, taking us on a journey through pain and love.” – Geek Vibes Nation Dec 4, 2025 Full Review La Grazia (2025) 81% 8/10 EDIT “The story wrestles with complex moral and ethical questions while putting front and center a portrait of a man who is the epitome of well-rounded, thoughtful, and inherently complex, as any of us.  ” – Geek Vibes Nation Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Wildcat (2025) 57% 6/10 EDIT “Shoots-outs. Fisticuffs. Explosions. Check, check, and double check. Wildcat offers no new twists on the action. It is the quintessential high-stakes, low-hanging-fruit story we've largely come to expect from the genre.” – Geek Vibes Nation Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Bunny (2025) 79% 4/10 EDIT “For a film that begins with urgency, it quickly devolves into a series of characters popping in and out, which makes it more like a running gag than a running storyline. Knock-knock jokes have more zip and panache than any line in Bunny. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Nov 25, 2025 Full Review The Thing with Feathers (2025) 46% 5.5/10 EDIT “While the film is bold for uniquely tackling this emotional wrecking, the result feels like fouling in the nest. By the end, we are left more confused than enlightened. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Nov 24, 2025 Full Review American Baby (2025) 8/10 EDIT “American Baby showcases a rising talent who tells a provocative tale that never settles for cheap tricks or inflammatory tactics. The ultimate strength lies in the validity of the expression.” – Geek Vibes Nation Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Fragilé (2025) 9/10 EDIT “It deserves a major award. Elkins takes us into America’s heartland with a story that seems tailor-made for a screenwriter to put pen to paper. It is so wild and unbelievable that it would put Ralphie’s fantasies in A Christmas Story to shame.” – Geek Vibes Nation Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 53% 6.5/10 EDIT “Perkins crafts a devil's food cake that is both a twisted haunt and devilishly good. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Stone Cold Fox (2025) 60% 5/10 EDIT “These types of films have a distinct DNA. We get some action and a couple of fights, but there is a missing spark that usually cranks even the worst of these movies up to a watchable guilty pleasure.” – Geek Vibes Nation Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Beyond the Gaze: Jule Campbell's Swimsuit Issue (2024) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Beyond The Gaze is not an oral history on Sports Illustrated or an album on a person's life. Instead, it is frank documentation about a woman who left an enduring mark on our culture. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 6.5/10 EDIT “As a historical lesson, the film Nuremberg serves as a reminder to the watching world. As a film, it is both a compelling legal drama and a showcase for two masterful performances, even if the pacing runs amok.” – Geek Vibes Nation Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% 9/10 EDIT “In a small film with grand ambitions, director Richard Linklater gives us a night in the life of the other half of Rodgers and Hart. A comedy and a tragedy all together, tied in beautiful sympathy with a show-stopping performance by Ethan Hawke. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Oct 31, 2025 Full Review The White House Effect (2024) 94% 8/10 EDIT “this documentary is as engaging as it is informative. As our planet continues to heat and natural disasters become regular occurrences, this movie feels less like a canary in the coal mine, but the wake before a funeral.” – Geek Vibes Nation Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Dead Giveaway (2025) 6.5/10 EDIT “Despite the grisly premise, Dead Giveaway is a raucous comedy of errors that builds to an exciting, if not over-the-top, reveal. Anchored by fantastic chemistry between Modine and Hoover, the film is a delight.” – Geek Vibes Nation Oct 27, 2025 Full Review The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (2025) 42% 7/10 EDIT “Monroe takes a character that might otherwise be a one-note and elevates it into a malicious and complex baddie.” – Geek Vibes Nation Oct 24, 2025 Full Review R. L. Stine's Pumpkinhead (2025) 6.5/10 EDIT “we can admire the simplicity of the story and the warm sense of nostalgia it brings. Further, its purpose as a cozy little scary movie serves as an excellent door opener to future horror fans, and that is something worth celebrating. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Oct 19, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% 7.5/10 EDIT “Through the loving embrace of 70s cinema and a standout performance from O'Connor, The Mastermind is more than a surprise, but a masterful triumph. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Oct 16, 2025 Full Review
