Frankenstein
(2007)
|
Alan Ng
|
In the end, this version of Frankenstein attempts to modernize Mary Shelley’s tale, but loses focus amid corporate subplots and melodrama. Still, it has interesting themes.

Ick
(2024)
|
Jason Delgado
|
Ick doesn’t get too deep other than Hank realizing how family can give him a purpose in life; it’s more of an exciting romp with some action/horror mixed in.

Lanthimos is truly a one-of-a-kind artist, to be applauded and cherished, just as unique and oddly inspiring as the titular phoenix-like regeneration.

Killer Raccoons 2: Dark Christmas in the Dark
(2020)
|
Kent Hill
|
The sequel you never knew you needed... but it takes those elements and the insanity of raccoons trained to be killers and stacks it into a bite that’s dripping with grease and cheese to the point you know there’s a heart attack coming.

Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster

Bobby LePire

Every decision the director, actors, producers, and so on made was the wrong one. While that makes for an objectively bad film, subjectively, it is the recipe for a true delight.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
(2025)
|

Rian Johnson’s Wake Up, Dead Man is more than a clever whodunnit. It’s a meditation on belief, guilt, and the stories we tell ourselves to stay righteous.

Don't Answer
(2025)
|
Alan Ng

Don’t Answer delivers exactly what it promises — a brutal, bloody good time wrapped in small-town paranoia. It’s a scrappy indie slasher that proves you don’t need a big budget to have big scares and plenty of fun.
