2/5
Primate (2025) Sharai Bohannon I know a popcorn film with a bit of blood can be a good time for many people. However, for me, this feels like the first movie of 2026 that has great practical effects and not much else going for it.

0.5/5
The Forest Hills Festival Cut (2023) Sharai Bohannon 'The Forest Hills' fails its cast by never letting them earn their big moments. It also never gives them time to de-escalate. This makes for moments where I laughed, which felt very inappropriate.

Longlegs (2024) Jazzmin Crawley The music feels like a soundtrack to a dream where you can’t scream or run.

Strange Darling (2023) Jazzmin Crawley The way the sensuality blended into the increasingly disturbing violence was masterful.

Never Let Go (2024) Jazzmin Crawley The performances, big ideas, overwhelming dread, and psychological horror make Never Let Go worth the watch, although the resolution left me unsatisfied.

The Well (2025) Jazzmin Crawley It creates dread because death is constantly looming, but the danger has to do more than loom to give audiences a thrill.

13 Days Till Summer (2025) Jazzmin Crawley I highly recommend 13 Days Till Summer; the tension will keep you locked in, and the twist will set it apart.

HIM (2025) Jazzmin Crawley The film often feels like a dream with the imagery teetering between terrifying and absurd. Although Him took bold swings that led to fumbles, I still found plenty to appreciate.

The Deliverance (2024) Jazzmin Crawley While much of the familiarity felt good, some of it felt stale. The first half was promising, and then the film became a generic demon possession film.
Posted Oct 11, 2025  Edit critic review
The Front Room (2024) Jazzmin Crawley The Front Room is labeled as psychological horror, but it felt much more like a black comedy. The audience seemed to agree, with plenty of bouts of laughter in unison. I was entertained, but overall this movie was lukewarm.

Animale (2024) Jazzmin Crawley Animale is visually stunning with fascinating camera angles and use of color. The performances are compelling and realistic, which makes it easy to become engrossed with the story, especially the conflicts.

House of Ashes (2025) Jazzmin Crawley The setting and real-life horrors are what kept me interested. The story feels a little disjointed because it has so much going on. There is not enough time to give each part its proper weight.

Custom (2024) Jazzmin Crawley We see flashes of terrifying imagery, but not enough to keep me focused or interested in the mystery. The visuals and the concept are the best things about the film.

3/5
Bone Lake (2024) Jazzmin Crawley It felt like a good mix of Who Invited Them (2022), Barbarian (2022), and Superhost (2021) with a love story sprinkled on top. Bone Lake is worth the watch if you enjoy thrillers where interpersonal conflicts do the heavy lifting to cause tension.

9/10
The Substance (2024) Jazzmin Crawley I highly recommend avoiding all trailers and sprinting to see this movie at your earliest convenience . The Substance offers gorgeous visuals, incredible body horror, captivating performances, and sharp commentary.

Heretic (2024) Jazzmin Crawley Heretic dives into questions about religion and the place/burden of women under the thumb of power. The performances pull you into the story, the dialogue has some bite, and the tension is palpable.

Nosferatu (2024) Jazzmin Crawley Robert Eggers put his talents into a story I already loved, and it was an EXPERIENCE. With captivating performances, beautiful set pieces, attention to historical detail, and incredible camera work, Nosferatu found a way to steal the show

4/5
Heart Eyes (2025) Jazzmin Crawley Heart Eyes is a delightful yet vicious ride that entertains from start to finish. It has kills, kisses, jokes, outfits, twists, and cameos. It is equally successful as a rom-com and a ruthless slasher, which is a tough balancing act.

3/5
Rosario (2025) Jazzmin Crawley Rosario rides on a great atmosphere and immersive sound design that will make you suspicious of the darkness around you. The scares are inventive, but the pacing makes the movie occasionally lose steam. There are also a few tropes I could do without.

3/5
I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) Jazzmin Crawley Our new villain does more than “hook” the victims. I was in love with the kills, but underwhelmed by the killer reveal. If you cherish the original, this movie might piss you off. If you enjoyed it for what it was, then there is plenty of fun to be had.

3/5
The House with Laughing Windows (1976) Jazzmin Crawley I was treated to an engaging mystery that would satisfy most Giallo fans, and a shocking reveal that will tattoo itself onto your brain. Unfortunately, the pacing made the film feel like a chore at times.

Dolly (2025) Jazzmin Crawley Dolly drums up The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Barbarian vibes, and is worth the watch if you want to be disturbed.
Posted Oct 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Occupy Cannes (2025) Sharai Bohannon Occupy Cannes serves as a Troma time capsule bridging old and new fans across decades. It’s also inspiring as it reminds us to believe in ourselves even if it feels like no one else does.
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Terrestrial (2025) Sharai Bohannon 'Terrestrial' plays with genres and subverts audience expectations at will. This sci-fi thriller has many levels and layers that lead to a very chaotic ending with a surprisingly high body count.

4/5
The Ugly Stepsister (2025) Jazzmin Crawley Beauty is insurance—even if it’s flimsy. Those who don’t have it are shifted to the shadows. The Ugly Stepsister displays this unpleasant truth and what people are willing to do for beauty, especially when competition (even unfair) is encouraged.

4.5
Sinners (2025) Jazzmin Crawley While it draws upon influences from horror movies from the past, it still manages to shine uniquely by incorporating history, music, and the Black Southern Gothic aesthetic.

4.5/5
Bring Her Back (2025) Jazzmin Crawley Bring Her Back injects a possession story into a well-written exploration of grief, and to great results!
Posted Jul 22, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Dangerous Animals (2025) Jazzmin Crawley The kills are brutal, the killer is sadistic (yet charismatic), and the sharks are HUNGRY. I highly recommend Dangerous Animals, especially for the shark fanatics.

M3GAN 2.0 (2025) Jazzmin Crawley Overall, M3GAN 2.0 is a great time for fans of the first movie and younger horror fans.

3/5
Hold the Fort (2025) Jazzmin Crawley Hold the Fort wraps its unique plot in the familiar cloth of protagonists defending one location, and it has plenty of fun with it. From the beautifully bloody effects to the wild one-liners, there’s a lot to enjoy.

Found Footage: The Making of The Patterson Project (2025) Sharai Bohannon [Found Footage: The Making of the Patterson Project] is a refreshing and delightful kind of chaos that we do not see every day.

Best Wishes to All (2024) Sharai Bohannon 'Best Wishes to All' is one of those films that is fun and weird on the surface. However, it also has plenty to unpack if you are in the mood to be less shallow. It is the kind of outrageous gift that keeps on giving.

3.5/5
Abraham's Boys: A Dracula Story (2025) Xero Gravity Believe me, it’s slow, but note that even though the horrors of Abraham’s Boys are based in reality, the film’s third act is spiked with blood and violence.

We Bury the Dead (2024) Sharai Bohannon We Bury the Dead is a well-made movie with powerful performances.
Posted Mar 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Fucktoys (2025) Sharai Bohannon Overall, Fucktoys is fun, wildly important, and aimed right at millennial hearts. It is a loud reminder that sex and life are messy. However, both are also a great time if you do it right.
Posted Mar 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Together (2025) Sharai Bohannon [Together] gets right into the messiness of relationships and takes it some wild body horror places. The film is also a bonkers playground for Brie to remind people she has a well of (often underutilized) talent.
Posted Mar 18, 2025  Edit critic review
The Home (2025) Sharai Bohannon 'The Home' is fine. It’s not particularly scary or memorable. However, it’s a solid enough film that touches on a few cool themes and has some actors we might want to keep in the horror genre.
Posted Mar 14, 2025  Edit critic review
Your Monster (2024) Sharai Bohannon This is a genre-bending title giving us the good word instead of more of the same outdated gender ideas. It is unique, quirky, cute, and unafraid to rip your throat out.
Posted Nov 04, 2024  Edit critic review
The Piano Lesson (2024) Sharai Bohannon Malcolm Washington’s directorial debut is self-assured and captures the feeling of the theatre experience on film in a way many filmmakers have failed. I also believe his ensemble is one of the best of the year.
Posted Oct 25, 2024  Edit critic review
It's What's Inside (2024) Sharai Bohannon It’s What’s Inside is a fun and twisty ride that always has a few cards hidden up its sleeve. I am serious when I say this is one of the best things I have found on Netflix in months.
Posted Oct 21, 2024  Edit critic review
Apartment 7A (2024) Sharai Bohannon Come for the cool Natalie Erika James aesthetic and stay for it. There are a couple of tense moments, an injury shot so beautifully you wince, and Dianne Wiest reminding us why we love to see her on film. However, this is not a movie I need to revisit.

3/5
Trap (2024) Xero Gravity "Stunting a Shyamalan classic feel, Trap barely walks the line of believable. In an entertaining and campy manner, it pokes fun at audiences inability to unplug for a fun, extremely fictional story"
Posted Aug 28, 2024  Edit critic review
Dead Dead Full Dead (2024) Sharai Bohannon Maybe it is the cast commitment to the bits, even the ones that fall flat. Or, possibly because it is a refreshing change in the sea of whodunnits with almost exclusively white casts. Whatever the case, I am not mad that I watched it...
Posted Aug 20, 2024  Edit critic review
Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse (2024) Sharai Bohannon I sincerely believe there is an edit of this Párvulos that accomplishes everything it wants to do. However, as it stands right now, it feels like a gorgeous but bloated feature that does not quite live up to its potential.

Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (2023) Sharai Bohannon 'Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person' is possibly the cutest movie you could ask for this year.

Handling the Undead (2024) Sharai Bohannon It feels like I sat down at my favorite restaurant, ordered my favorite meal, and then discovered a new chef was in the kitchen. It’s familiar, but it’s not quite right.

Exhuma (2024) Sharai Bohannon [A] new South Korean banger here to disturb your peace. It’s also overflowing with so many beautiful images that it’s an embarrassment of riches. It is a movie you will want to experience as an audience member but also want to study as a work of art.
Posted Jun 17, 2024  Edit critic review
Sleep (2024) Sharai Bohannon Jason Yu gives the actors so much to work with that it’s almost an embarrassment of riches. Both our leads Su-jin (Jung Yu-mi ) and Hyun-su (Lee Sun-kyun), are fantastic and charming. They immediately draw us in from their first scene and never let us go.
Posted May 29, 2024  Edit critic review
The Coffee Table (2022) Sharai Bohannon Writers Cristina Borobia and Caye Casas crafted a script that is unrelenting, dreadful, and deliciously comedic. This is one of the bleakest movies many of us have seen in years. Casas also directed the hell out of this thing.
Posted Apr 17, 2024  Edit critic review
Cuckoo (2024) Sharai Bohannon [I]t’s bigger than its runtime. Tilman has infused this chaotic title with shades of Giallo, some body horror, bits of supernatural shit, and so much more.
