Foil (2023) 5.5/10 EDIT “Foil has a certain silly charm, and when it sticks the landing, it is pretty enjoyable. However, the pacing is in another galaxy, and at some point, the story dithers. There is fun to Foil, but it gets lost in the stars of its own design. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Disneyland Handcrafted (2026) 100% 9/10 EDIT “Disneyland Handcrafted is more than a story about the park or Walt Disney's creative genius. The film is a piece of living history and speaks with gusto about the need for film preservation.” – Geek Vibes Nation Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Redux Redux (2025) 98% 8/10 EDIT “Redux Redux lives up to its title and feels like a stirring reinvention of the revenge story.” – Geek Vibes Nation Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Dracula (2025) 52% 7.5/10 EDIT “Dracula commits to the legend yet leaves a mark that will not be forgotten.” – Geek Vibes Nation Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 60% 6.5/10 EDIT “Whistle puts out a clarion call that is sure to appeal to horror fans, even if the story is at times derivative and predictable. ” – Geek Vibes Nation Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Viva Verdi! (2024) 100% 9/10 EDIT “Viva Verdi! is a beautiful work (as all great art is) that unspools the threads of humanity and ties them together into a tapestry that celebrates human beauty and joy. Bravo!” – Geek Vibes Nation Feb 5, 2026 Full Review All About the Money (2026) 8/10 EDIT “There are both ironies and contradictions galore. Ultimately, that is O'Shea's most significant strength with this film. Personalities aside. This is a documentary profiling the facets and reaches of ungodly wealth and unbridled connections.” – Geek Vibes Nation Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant (2026) 93% 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) 94% 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) 57% 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) 88% 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) 51% 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
