Dust Bunny (2025) 85% EDIT “Warts plague Dust Bunny and prevent a full-throated recommendation, [but] Fuller nonetheless concocts enough playfulness and aesthetic pomp along the way to leave such narrative shortcomings feeling mostly immaterial.” – In Review Online Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Lupin the IIIrd: The Movie - The Immortal Bloodline (2025) EDIT “Newcomers will likely need to brush up on recent lore before heading in, but for those attuned to the previous trials and tribulations of the lovable master thief, a most enjoyable time will be in store.” – In Review Online Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Man Finds Tape (2025) 82% EDIT “[Man Finds Tape] can’t quite pull off any new tricks, ultimately doing less with less as [the filmmakers] fail to make any meaningful impression with their work.” – In Review Online Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution (2025) 71% EDIT “Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution is not out to bring in new fans of the franchise, but for those already on board, the compilation film is an extremely promising look at the pleasures to come.” – In Review Online Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) 77% EDIT “Given that this is the seventh installment in this franchise, Nelson offers a surprisingly and agreeably fresh take on the material.” – In Review Online Dec 23, 2025 Full Review King Ivory (2024) 71% EDIT “The finished product feeling a bit too derivative to go down entirely smoothly... [but] make no mistake: King Ivory is another winning, muscular B-picture from one of cinema’s underrated genre filmmakers.” – In Review Online Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Bunny (2025) 79% EDIT “Sweats to hit the 90-minute mark, and it all builds to a happy ending that is not in the least bit plausible, but as a directorial calling card, Bunny makes for an entertainingly good time with good company.” – In Review Online Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% EDIT “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t reaffirms the franchise’s status as being one of the most relentlessly idiotic, so obsessed with appearing impressive that it forgets to let the audience in on the fun.” – In Review Online Nov 24, 2025 Full Review Bone Lake (2024) 84% EDIT “Bone Lake emerges as a pleasant horror surprise, though one that is undeniably stronger during its ritualistic disemboweling of a couple’s frayed relationship than when the bloodshed actually arrives.” – In Review Online Nov 5, 2025 Full Review 100 Meters (2025) 100% EDIT “If 100 Meters occasionally dips its toe into formula... it’s no real matter: come for the races and you’ll walk away having experienced one of the most purely entertaining films of the year.” – In Review Online Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Shelby Oaks (2023) 55% EDIT “Stuckmann abandons the found footage conceit [too early], playing out the rest of the feature as a more traditional narrative film, and a horribly glacial one at that.” – In Review Online Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc (2025) 96% EDIT “Reze Arc delivers terrific genre- and drama-filled storytelling, but it will likely go down as the most stunningly animated film of 2025 on the strength of its transcendent visual design.” – In Review Online Nov 5, 2025 Full Review V/H/S Halloween (2025) 89% EDIT “Business as usual at the V/H/S factory, a roller coaster of quality that threatens to topple over from its own shaky foundation.” – In Review Online Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Where to Land (2025) EDIT “It’s a playful, self-reflexive work, sold with Hartley’s characteristic penchant for witty humor and idiosyncratic dialogue.” – In Review Online Oct 2, 2025 Full Review The Man in My Basement (2025) 40% EDIT “Dafoe is as reliable a presence as ever, but The Man in My Basement squanders its intriguing premise, bottoming out long before the picture ends.” – In Review Online Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) 65% EDIT “An exercise in wasted potential... To put it in Spinal Tap terms, this one does not go up to eleven.” – In Review Online Sep 15, 2025 Full Review The Toxic Avenger (2023) 87% EDIT “Deliberately juvenile and designed to be off-putting to those not already dialed in to Troma’s warped wavelength. But for [those] viewers... The Toxic Avenger could be film of the year.” – In Review Online Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Eenie Meanie (2025) 43% EDIT “Never quite transcends the clichés it’s built upon, resulting in a largely derivative affair that only pops in fits and spurts.” – In Review Online Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Eli Roth Presents: Jimmy and Stiggs (2024) 63% EDIT “A total romp, delivering all thrills and no frills of splattery creature mayhem in a tight runtime.” – In Review Online Sep 6, 2025 Full Review She Rides Shotgun (2025) 88% EDIT “She Rides Shotgun is not out to reinvent the wheel, but it does make the most of the central relationship.” – In Review Online Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Queens of the Dead (2025) 83% EDIT “The [film's] seeming disinterest in using the genre as an outlet for further commentary is odd... [but] there’s at least one good joke landing every few minutes, which is a remarkably high batting average for a debut.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Kill the Jockey (2024) 86% EDIT “Ortega keeps getting in his own way, arbitrarily wielding surrealism with such abandon that the whole enterprise falls apart under its own eccentric bloat.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review The Old Guard 2 (2025) 27% EDIT “All The Old Guard 2 amounts to [is a] laborious setup for a payoff intended in a future installment.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Daniela Forever (2024) 65% EDIT “As far as heady films that exist in the slipstream of sci-fi and realism go, Vigalondo has excelled in this department before, but Daniela Forever is patently disappointing, an especially regrettable outcome given how timely its concept is to our present.” – In Review Online Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Terrestrial (2025) 75% EDIT “Terrestrial proves to be a solidly entertaining genre sandbox, a film savvy enough to undercut its weaknesses of overinflation, and one that will certainly play better to viewers who go in as blind as possible.” – In Review Online Jul 29, 2025 Full Review
