1.5/4
Rosebush Pruning (2026) David Robb Only cheap shock value can be gleaned from the film’s cavalcade of blood, semen, animal carcasses, dick pics, and erotic toothbrushing.

2.5/4
Redux Redux (2025) Steven Nguyen Scaife Easy as it may be to imagine a more artful, restrained, and introspective version of Redux Redux, the one we got is satisfying enough that you may want to take it out for another spin.

2.5/4
Yellow Letters (2026) David Robb While the film’s deft spinning of multiple plates is impressive for a good hour or so, what it’s serving up eventually starts to feel a little undercooked.

Network (1976) Derek Smith Half a century later, Sidney Lumet’s Network remains a darkly humorous and relevant treatise on capitalism’s erosion of morality.

Bride of Re-Animator (1990) Chuck Bowen Bride of Re-Animator is a cold and limp retread of the first film.

Crime 101 (2026) Kyle Turner Like its main character’s modus operandi as a criminal, the film goes through all the pro forma motions.

3/4
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Marshall Shaffer The film offers a joyous throwback to the optimistic feeling of the early internet creator era.

2/4
Wuthering Heights (2026) Rocco T. Thompson Like a particularly impressive aspic, Wuthering Heights is tantalizing to behold but not so easy to swallow.

2.5/4
Honey Bunch (2025) Steven Nguyen Scaife The film’s climax is an unexpectedly tender spectacle of body horror.

A Woman Under the Influence (1974) Derek Smith John Cassavetes’s films were born out of emotional truth.

2.5/4
By Design (2025) William Repass By forcing us to identify with its largely comatose protagonist, By Design arouses resentment in order to shake us out of torpor.

My Father's Shadow (2025) Derek Smith Hope and fear are inextricably bound in Akinola Davies Jr.’s semi-autobiographical film.

1/4
The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) David Robb It’s easy to imagine the nihilistic avenues that Chapter 3 could have gone down.
Posted Feb 05, 2026  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Jimpa (2025) Diego Semerene Jimpa’s exploration of non-binary identity ultimately proves superficial.

Josephine (2026) Marshall Shaffer Beth de Araújo’s sophomore feature is a harrowing chronicle of a premature maturation.

1.5/4
Dracula (2025) Jake Cole Not even a typically scenery-chewing Christoph Waltz can enliven the proceedings.
Posted Feb 01, 2026  Edit critic review
Nuisance Bear  (2026) Ross McIndoe Nuisance Bear is at its most powerful when its message has been condensed down into a single image.
Posted Feb 01, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
The Invite (2026) Taylor Williams By the time The Invite burrows into the heart of its main characters and reveals the scope of their regrets and longings, it’s hard to argue that it doesn’t strike a chord of genuine emotion.

3/4
Leviticus (2026) Marshall Shaffer As star-crossed lovers resolve to battle their demons rather than surrender, this at times intensely creepy horror tale reveals itself to also be a potent and poignant teen romance.
Posted Jan 31, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
undertone (2025) Taylor Williams Throughout Undertone, Ian Tuason delights in deploying sound to eerily suggestive ends.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
2/4
I Want Your Sex (2026) Marshall Shaffer The film gets too caught up in concern trolling about the sexual timidity of today’s youth.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
House II: The Second Story (1987) Chuck Bowen The film's scattershot, anything-goes approach is occasionally amusing, but horror fans will probably feel baited-and-switched with a title that promises something a little harder-edged.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
4/5
House (1985) Chuck Bowen Katt holds House together with his force of personality, but Roger’s semi-comic, semi-poignant unflappability robs the film of emotional stakes.
Posted Jan 30, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Justin Clark Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die’s obviousness only makes its proximity to the real-life A.I. slop invasion more unnerving, and the extent of what humanity has accepted for convenience’s sake more abhorrent.

3/4
Send Help (2026) Eli Friedberg This is an immensely effective tropical island-set chamber drama in which two characters see their gender and labor relations start to reverse in ways that eventually reveal surprising ambiguities.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
Once a Thief (1991) Jake Cole Once a Thief is an outlier in Woo’s mature period, closer in spirit to his pre-breakthrough workman era making comedic genre pictures.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
Bullet in the Head (1990) Jake Cole John Woo draws liberally from the trove of Vietnam War movies, staging epic battles in villages with overt cues to Apocalypse Now and mirroring The Deer Hunter’s structure of slow psychological unraveling among friends.

2/4
The Moment (2026) Taylor Williams Farce and sincerity make more odd bedfellows across Aidan Zamiri’s meta mockumentary about Brat Summer.

3/4
To Hold a Mountain (2026) Derek Smith The documentary ultimately reveals itself as a paean to female strength and resistance.

2.5/4
Islands (2025) Taylor Williams The film is most interesting when it's keyed to its main character's existential malaise across what plays out like a White Lotus B-plot.

3/4
Natchez (2025) Ross McIndoe With so many engaging voices on offer, Suzannah Herbert wisely chooses to let the locals tell the story rather than providing any explicit narration of her own.

3/4
A Poet (2025) William Repass This finely shaded character study of a recalcitrant social pariah feels more than anything else like an existential parable.
Posted Jan 25, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
The History of Concrete (2026) Taylor Williams The odd and poignant The History of Concrete could be seen as a show of Buddhist acceptance on John Wilson's part of art's, and by extension life's, transience.
Posted Jan 24, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
The Oldest Person in the World (2026) Ross McIndoe Sam Green’s documentary has a knack for finding moments where we can feel the broad sweep of a supercentenarian lifespan, condensed down into a single, everyday occurrence.

3/4
Long Day's Journey Into Night (2025) Ross McIndoe In a work as emotionally devastating as this, the performances are everything.
Posted Jan 23, 2026  Edit critic review
House Party (1990) Derek Smith There are elements here that are best left in the ’90s, but its joyful, nuanced portrait of Black teenage experience has aged quite nicely.

Mercy (2026) Eli Friedberg More than anything, this twisty dystopian thriller commits to the jittery anxiety of doomscrolling.

Return to Silent Hill (2026) Justin Clark Christophe Gans’s film does away with all the psychosexual nuance of Silent Hill 2.

2/4
Mother of Flies (2025) Steven Nguyen Scaife Despite the affinity the Adams clan has displayed for spooky, goopy imagery in the past, Mother of Flies finds them reluctant to fully exercise those talents for fear of tipping their hand.
Posted Jan 18, 2026  Edit critic review
The Fall of Otrar (1991) Jake Cole The film often conveys an intense claustrophobia befitting the siege campaign that brought the walled city of Otrar to its knees.
Posted Jan 17, 2026  Edit critic review
Chronicle of the Years of Embers (1975) Jake Cole The 1975 film never loses sight of the immense cost of gaining one’s freedom.

Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) Lauren Wissot The film starkly reveals the toll propaganda takes on everyday individuals and communities.
Posted Jan 16, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
The Rip (2026) Jake Cole The film's legible direction and steady escalation of tension makes for an enjoyably retro diversion.

3.5/5
The Magnificent Seven (1960) Michael Nordine It’s no Seven Samurai, but The Magnificent Seven is worthy of the flag it waves.
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
.5/4
Night Patrol (2025) Justin Clark Ryan Prows’s film comes across as just straight-up exploitative.
Posted Jan 14, 2026  Edit critic review
2/4
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Rocco T. Thompson The film shrinks the scope of the earlier film down to a pinhole in what feels more like an incidental episode than a full-throated cinematic event in its own right.
Posted Jan 13, 2026  Edit critic review
2.5/4
A Useful Ghost (2025) William Repass Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke’s defense of historical memory couldn’t be more timely.
Posted Jan 12, 2026  Edit critic review
3/4
Seeds (2025) Alexander Mooney Brittany Shyne’s lens is held rapt by the ramblings and insights of the elderly, but it springs to life when it’s turned toward the next generation, whose future is of utmost concern in light of the socioeconomic tensions documented by the film.
Posted Jan 11, 2026  Edit critic review
2/4
Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Derek Smith Greenland 2 plays out as a much more generic thriller than its predecessor.
Posted Jan 08, 2026  Edit critic review
1.5/4
My Neighbor Adolf (2022) Eli Friedberg The film at once wrings this premise for whimsical absurdism and slow-burn suspense, on each side vulgarizing the memory of the Holocaust.
