Boorman and the Devil (2025) B+ EDIT “Romanticizing old anecdotes through illustration and packing in details, the documentarian pours his soul into Boorman’s for a possession that’s warmly and memorably religious. ” – IndieWire Oct 27, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 59% C+ EDIT ““Last Rites” has a sense of humor and that’s worth watching if you’re up for a laugh instead of a scream.” – IndieWire Sep 8, 2025 Full Review The Serpent's Skin (2025) 100% B EDIT “From practical creature makeup to wispy soul-sucking effects added in post, “The Serpent’s Skin” blends its most obvious flaws into a mesmeric tapestry woven in authentic genre thread. ” – IndieWire Jul 31, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) 36% B+ EDIT “Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson made the catch of the season with this lean, mean serial killer flick.” – IndieWire Jul 16, 2025 Full Review M3GAN 2.0 (2025) 58% C EDIT “M3GAN’s greatest asset was never her heart, but her lack of one. It’s somewhat baffling, then, that she is easily the most likable character in a lineup of algorithmically hateable humans. ” – IndieWire Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Bride Hard (2025) 15% D- EDIT “Bride Hard is never funny. That kills the mood faster than a bad toast, but even dead on arrival, this wedding feels like torture. ” – IndieWire Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Man Finds Tape (2025) 89% B+ EDIT “A pleasant combination that doesn’t break the mold but nonetheless festers with originality, “Man Finds Tape” strikes a unique seriocomic tone. ” – IndieWire Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025) 27% B+ EDIT “Flirty and fiendish, “Prom Queen” is the pick if you want to laugh, gag, and chant “KISS!” (in a homoerotic manner) without leaving the house this weekend.” – IndieWire May 24, 2025 Full Review Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) 92% A- EDIT “Silly, delicate, sharp, and mean, “Bloodlines” has its flaws but nevertheless confirms Death’s Design as a force worthy of its own special place in the horror hall of fame.” – IndieWire May 13, 2025 Full Review Rosario (2025) 70% C+ EDIT “Toubia fights hard and gets in some solid scenes that could’ve been worked out on another director’s remix. “Rosario” is worth seeing for her and is otherwise mired in pretty good problems to have. ” – IndieWire May 5, 2025 Full Review Until Dawn (2025) 51% B- EDIT “Until Dawn makes countless gestures at being an incisive horror comedy -- some good, some bad -- but works better approached as a full-blown spoof. If that was the intent here, a better name might have been something like “Video Game: The Horror Movie.”” – IndieWire Apr 24, 2025 Full Review The Woman in the Yard (2025) 40% C- EDIT “Soaking his film in an atypical amount of sunlight, Collet-Serra forces the generally strong work of cinematographer Pawel Pogorzelski into boring monotony.” – IndieWire Mar 31, 2025 Full Review The True Beauty of Being Bitten by a Tick (2025) 71% C+ EDIT “The True Beauty of Being Bitten by a Tick makes a lasting impression -- even if it is blotchy, faded, and several rings shy of hitting that classic tick-bite bullseye mark.” – IndieWire Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Heart Eyes (2025) 77% B+ EDIT “The perfect length for a first date, Heart Eyes boasts a dazzling plot that goes places quickly. It’s a highly re-watchable trick you’ll want to see pulled off twice.” – IndieWire Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) 100% B+ EDIT “Does the vulnerability of its well-chosen subjects remarkable cinematic justice. Through that, White creates a sense of existential wonder and a film bursting with hope for all kinds.” – IndieWire Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Inheritance (2025) 55% C EDIT “In the context of Burger’s legacy (a real mixed bag ever since “The Illusionist”), “Inheritance” is hardly a crown jewel. It’s predictable, one-note, and a knock against Dynevor as a viable action star.” – IndieWire Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Eat the Night (2024) 67% B- EDIT “The result is at once accosting and strangely affirming, narrowly saved by a strong cast of performers and moody cinematography that navigate the movie’s thinner aspects and more ambiguous moments with relative ease.” – IndieWire Jan 13, 2025 Full Review Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) 56% C+ EDIT “Despite Jenkins’ track record and clear artistic touch, the light of Favreau’s semi-success taints everything all it touches here. ” – IndieWire Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Addition (2024) B EDIT “With a vibrant cast (it’s worth stating plainly: Palmer is excellent) and an ambitious conceit, this valiant adaptation is hardly algebraic -- but achieves different artistry embracing the imperfect.” – IndieWire Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Space Cowboy (2024) 100% A- EDIT “Kind, caring, and plummeting to Earth like the rest of us, Joe Jennings is the hero that will remind you to save yourself.” – IndieWire Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Falling Stars (2023) 84% B+ EDIT “The result is a raw allegory ripped from the contradictions of American life -- bewitching but not beyond help under oppressively spacious skies.” – IndieWire Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Daddy's Head (2024) 84% B EDIT “Daddy’s Head isn’t likely to stick around as a film that genre fans will revisit often, but as far as haunting and half-baked ghost stories, Shudder subscribers could do worse than this sort-of-good-sort-of-bad pain in the neck.” – IndieWire Oct 10, 2024 Full Review House of Spoils (2024) 40% B- EDIT “House of Spoils should mainly be recommended for bringing an unusual spectral essence to a dish you might otherwise turn down. You won’t want seconds, but it’s worth the taste test even picked for parts.” – IndieWire Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Terrifier 3 (2024) 78% B+ EDIT “Terrifier 3 is decking the halls with a triumphant celebration that’s horrifying for all the right reasons and snaps into focus what it is that Leone does singularly well. That may or may not win people over, but it shouldn’t lose any repeat customers.” – IndieWire Sep 27, 2024 Full Review The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) 72% B- EDIT “What begins as an atypical use of two beloved actors gets more messy than complex in The Rule of Jenny Pen. And yet, the undaunted director, Ashcroft, approaches his vision with palpable conviction.” – IndieWire Sep 23, 2024 Full Review
