Primate (2025) DarkSkyLady Primate maintains a fierce pace, getting to the nitty-gritty gore quickly and keeping audiences in suspense for who will make it.

Influencers (2025) DarkSkyLady Influencers is bigger but not always better, as it lacks the realism present in the first film, choosing instead to increase the drama and forgo answering questions.

13 Days Till Summer (2025) DarkSkyLady 13 Days Till Summer is a well-crafted, suspenseful, and creepy slasher. It adds surprises to home invasion, but also ensures it’s memorable thanks to that mask.

The Curse (2025) DarkSkyLady It’s a film I enjoyed watching. However, it’s not one I would ever feel the need to revisit. It might work better as a short film. The Curse is fun with scares, but viewers need to suspend their disbelief and then some.

Widow Champion (2025) DarkSkyLady Widow Champion takes viewers on a journey through a country and culture many are unfamiliar with.
Posted Dec 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Incomplete Chairs (2025) DarkSkyLady Incomplete Chairs is interchangeable with any other torture porn horror over the last couple of decades.
Posted Dec 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Affection (2025) DarkSkyLady Affection is gripping, physically uncomfortable, and engrossing as it builds to its climax with a twist.
Posted Dec 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Wicked: For Good (2025) DarkSkyLady It’s still amazing with some captivating songs, breathtaking emotional beats, and outstanding performances all around. Wicked for Good ties everything together with tearful joy, even though it feels incomplete and rushed.

Predator: Badlands (2025) DarkSkyLady Predator: Badlands cements that Dan Trachtenberg knows what works for the series and for moviegoers, blending action-packed entertainment with a genuine human (or Predator) story.
Posted Nov 07, 2025  Edit critic review
CAMP (2025) DarkSkyLady Camp is an exploration of trauma and its effects that's strange but struggles to grasp the viewer, and with an almost 2-hour runtime, that lack of memorability harms it. It's not bad, but not great either.
Posted Oct 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Bone Lake (2024) DarkSkyLady Bone Lake is a fun, awkward slasher that feels like a lighthearted Speak No Evil or a less paranormal Crimson Peak. Shocks are plenty, but scares are in short supply.
Posted Oct 03, 2025  Edit critic review
One Battle After Another (2025) DarkSkyLady One Battle After Another has inescapable flaws—particularly in its depiction of Black women—but is also entertaining with immense performances across the board.
Posted Sep 26, 2025  Edit critic review
Coyotes (2025) DarkSkyLady Justin Long and Kate Bosworth are a hilarious duo; from dialogue to just the sounds they make, they know how to build up humor. Thanks to them, Coyotes has enough working in its favor to make it worthwhile.

Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) DarkSkyLady Kiss of the Spider Woman is an unexpected delight, especially for those who typically do not enjoy musicals. It carries audiences on a whirlwind journey that sweeps them away along with Valentín.
Posted Sep 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle (2025) DarkSkyLady Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is a stellar first entry for the trio of films, building excitement for what’s to come and anxiety for who might not survive. The animation is astounding, capturing a world of wonder and demons.
Posted Sep 02, 2025  Edit critic review
Hell House LLC: Lineage (2025) DarkSkyLady Despite a promising start, Hell House LLC: Lineage squanders its horror goodwill, opting for a clunky, uncertain plot and abrupt ending that leaves viewers floundering in incredulity.
Posted Sep 02, 2025  Edit critic review
The Long Walk (2025) DarkSkyLady Terrifying in its premise and heart-wrenching in its execution, The Long Walk achieves a gripping story with dynamic characters.
Posted Sep 02, 2025  Edit critic review
Freakier Friday (2025) DarkSkyLady Freakier Friday leans into generational comedies and gains traction the longer it goes on, making it a wonderful sequel with never-ending chuckles. 
Posted Aug 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Weapons (2025) DarkSkyLady Weapons builds and releases tension while keeping audiences wondering until the end. However, the reveal is less terrifying and more humorous. 
Posted Aug 08, 2025  Edit critic review
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) DarkSkyLady The Fantastic Four: First Steps tries to walk before it can crawl, dragging down a promising cast with a subpar screenplay. 
Posted Jul 27, 2025  Edit critic review
Superman (2025) DarkSkyLady Superman is a human story, with the emotional center that’s loads of fun, with a worthwhile message, and an adorable doggy. It’s a film I’d happily rewatch.
Posted Jul 10, 2025  Edit critic review
M3GAN 2.0 (2025) DarkSkyLady While it leans into some unbelievable twists—piling villain on villain—that's part of its charm. M3gan 2.0 does justice to its predecessor, ensuring it is a sequel worth watching.
Posted Jun 27, 2025  Edit critic review
Bark (2023) DarkSkyLady The climax surprises with an unexpected answer. While the dialogue could sometimes be more compelling, Bark crafts a strained atmosphere with the bare minimum of two enigmatic leads and a lush forest backdrop.
Posted Jun 15, 2025  Edit critic review
The Ritual (2025) DarkSkyLady It's not that The Ritual is bad, but that it is barely something. Aside from the performances, little stands out and none of it lingers in the mind for long. 
Posted Jun 06, 2025  Edit critic review
Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025) DarkSkyLady It feels more like a Dollar Tree version of Freaky than anything. Fear Street: Prom Queen proves that sometimes unfulfilled dreams are for the best. 
Posted May 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Super Happy Fun Clown (2025) DarkSkyLady Super Happy Fun Clown is a mix of shock, entertainment, and confusion about what it's trying to say. Still, overall, it's a wild ride, even if it's one I would not revisit a second time.
Posted May 19, 2025  Edit critic review
Rosario (2025) DarkSkyLady Rosario scrapes through with a pass because of direction, atmosphere, and its exploration of culture and acceptance. So, it’s like an unfulfilled promise where you appreciate the effort.
Posted May 08, 2025  Edit critic review
The Accountant 2 (2025) DarkSkyLady The Accountant 2 has a shaky plot, some decent action, and one actor doing the heavy lifting to make the movie entertaining. So, while it's not a phenomenal film, there are plenty of comedic moments.
Posted Apr 27, 2025  Edit critic review
825 Forest Road (2025) DarkSkyLady Despite its flaws, 825 Forest Road nails the unease, elevating the dread till the end and then shutting its frenzied door.
Posted Apr 04, 2025  Edit critic review
The Assessment (2024) DarkSkyLady With a bleak, dystopian world and a couple longing for a child at its core, there’s desperation at the outset, plus a tragedy waiting as it progresses. The Assessment crafts a searing, odd, and engrossing movie about life, living, and control.
Posted Mar 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Borderline (2025) DarkSkyLady Whether it’s people giving a known stalker the benefit of the doubt or allies actively aiding his schemes, Borderline keeps it strange yet nails the emotional terror and underlying societal harm thanks to its cast.
Posted Mar 13, 2025  Edit critic review
The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) DarkSkyLady The Rule of Jenny Pen is a tense, claustrophobic film that sneaks up on you because of its setting.
Posted Mar 08, 2025  Edit critic review
The Gorge (2025) DarkSkyLady It feels more like a movie belonging to the early aughts. Still, The Gorge has Anya Taylor-Joy, action, and a catchy soundtrack that might be enough to pull in viewers despite the weak script that becomes increasingly painful in the film’s latter half.
Posted Feb 13, 2025  Edit critic review
Move Ya Body: The Birth of House (2025) DarkSkyLady Move Ya Body: The Birth of House is a splendid documentary about house music while building up to be so much more than it.
Posted Feb 11, 2025  Edit critic review
Speak. (2025) DarkSkyLady Although it’s a competition, Speak. is a documentary that captures hope as future generations speak up about what they see and demand to see in the future.
Posted Feb 02, 2025  Edit critic review
Love, Brooklyn (2025) DarkSkyLady Love, Brooklyn feels like a love letter to the borough, past relationships, and possibilities that allow nostalgia and inspiration to seep into the audience despite its disingenuousness regarding gentrification.
Posted Jan 31, 2025  Edit critic review
Didn't Die (2025) DarkSkyLady Rather than horror, it’s a drama that takes on too much within its runtime. Still, thanks to the cast—the lead in particular—Didn’t Die keeps it entertaining as people struggle to live, not just survive in an apocalypse.
Posted Jan 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Inheritance (2025) DarkSkyLady The scope of travel, Phoebe's performance, and the questions the movie presents keep Inheritance interesting even with the spatters of drag, but little stands out. 
Posted Jan 25, 2025  Edit critic review
Presence (2024) DarkSkyLady Whether the surprise at the end is worth the journey is up to the viewer, but given its lifelike first-person feel, Presence charts a course as uncomfortable as those camera shots from Evil Dead but scares are not present.
Posted Jan 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Alix (2024) DarkSkyLady Alix uses fiction and fantasy to depict innocence, innocence lost, and the tangible cycle of violence against children—especially little girls—forced to join a war.
Posted Dec 24, 2024  Edit critic review
A Complete Unknown (2024) DarkSkyLady So, A Complete Unknown is enjoyable but has unnecessary moments that need a chop so they could focus on building the characters’ stories and giving audiences more than shallow entertainment playing at depth.
Posted Dec 23, 2024  Edit critic review
Ba (2024) DarkSkyLady Ba delivers a moving story that dances in the otherworldly but keeps its feet grounded in the day-to-day of living and providing.
Posted Dec 17, 2024  Edit critic review
Nosferatu (2024) DarkSkyLady So, although Nosferatu develops an atmospheric, tense film, it does not stand out enough aside from appearance compared to the book and movies that preceded it. Still, it's a stunning aesthetic nonetheless.
Posted Dec 03, 2024  Edit critic review
Wicked (2024) DarkSkyLady Wicked is a must-watch and a rewatch, merging essential life lessons about acceptance, equality, and justice with glittering, song-and-dance-filled, colorful fun.
Posted Nov 24, 2024  Edit critic review
Rita (2024) DarkSkyLady Jayro Bustamante deftly wields his sharp lens in Rita to bring attention to injustice while delivering an unforgettable film.
Posted Nov 23, 2024  Edit critic review
The Beldham (2024) DarkSkyLady The Beldham squeezes a tragic, haunting story through acting with occasional scares and loads of discomfort.
Posted Nov 08, 2024  Edit critic review
Conclave (2024) DarkSkyLady Conclave is a surprisingly riveting film. It drags around midway, needing trim to tighten the story and tension. Still, it delivers an engrossing religious thriller complete with intrigue and suspense.
Posted Oct 24, 2024  Edit critic review
Your Monster (2024) DarkSkyLady Your Monster is Beauty and the Beast meets Center Stage with a shift into "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared," hosting an unforgettable couple of end songs that viewers will hum long after watching.
Posted Oct 22, 2024  Edit critic review
Mr. Crocket (2024) DarkSkyLady Mr. Crocket is a fun time despite some plot holes regarding his death and the time he began taking kids. It's a bit pat and predictable but still delivers some catchy songs and a fantastic villain.
