When Evil Lurks (2023) 96% 9/10 EDIT “Demián Rugna has crafted not only the best “feel bad” horror film of the year, but a uniquely brutal possession film that ditches the genre's usual religious jargon in favor of a viral twist.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 13, 2023 Full Review May the Devil Take You: Chapter Two (2020) 80% 8/10 EDIT “Timo Tjahjanto summons a successful sequel that builds upon the original film with bigger, bloodier, and more brutal scares.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 27, 2020 Full Review The Mortuary Collection (2019) 97% 9/10 EDIT “It cannot be understated just how thoroughly impressive the entirety of The Mortuary Collection is.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 15, 2020 Full Review The Cleansing Hour (2019) 73% 6.5/10 EDIT “A 21st century technology spin gives life to a boilerplate exorcism film that, while light on big scares, has strong production value.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 5, 2020 Full Review Possessor: Uncut (2020) 94% 9/10 EDIT “A wholly original tale of corporate violence and mind-melting identity stakes that make for an unforgettable nightmare.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 4, 2020 Full Review The Beach House (2019) 81% 7.5/10 EDIT “Jeffrey A. Browns' debut feature is a tense blending of relationship drama and an apocalyptic creature feature.” – Cultured Vultures Jul 6, 2020 Full Review The Perished (2019) 50% 5/10 EDIT “The Perished succeeds in crafting scares that are the foundation of its protagonist's plight, but it's everything in between where it largely falters” – Cultured Vultures Apr 17, 2020 Full Review M.O.M. (Mothers of Monsters) (2020) 73% 8/10 EDIT “Subverting the pitfalls of found footage through smart storytelling and stellar lead performances makes M.O.M. a genre standout.” – Cultured Vultures Mar 17, 2020 Full Review The Invisible Man (2020) 92% 9/10 EDIT “This is the breath of vitality needed to rejuvenate Universal's stagnant Dark Universe, and is without question one of the year's best horror films.” – Cultured Vultures Mar 2, 2020 Full Review The Dare (2019) 44% 5/10 EDIT “The Dare's gory generational tale of torture terror is undercut by a jumbled narrative and largely uninspired and cliche-riddled characters.” – Cultured Vultures Mar 2, 2020 Full Review VFW (2019) 85% 8.5/10 EDIT “VFW is a bloody, neon-soaked nightmare showcasing Joe Begos' signature punk rock style and dedication to gory horror.” – Cultured Vultures Feb 17, 2020 Full Review Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) 79% 8/10 EDIT “While its narrative can be disjointed at times, Birds of Prey fully leans into its R-rating, making for a hilarious and violent good time” – Cultured Vultures Feb 10, 2020 Full Review Underwater (2020) 48% 7.5/10 EDIT “Underwater makes waves by crafting nerve-wracking deep sea terror and a suffocatingly bleak atmosphere.” – Cultured Vultures Jan 15, 2020 Full Review Mandy (2018) 91% EDIT “Cage is exceptional and more memorable than past performances, but this is only due to the world that Cosmatos has crafted for him to coexist within.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 29, 2019 Full Review Peppermint (2018) 13% EDIT “The sets are boring. The action felt technically antiquated. Nothing stands out in an era of cinema where audiences are inundated with uniquely creative gun-fu-esque action.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 29, 2019 Full Review Hereditary (2018) 90% 9/10 EDIT “Ari Aster's horror directorial debut is a masterclass in crafting unbearable tension and suspense that lay the foundation for terrifying conclusion audiences aren't soon to forget.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 29, 2019 Full Review Sweet Virginia (2017) 79% EDIT “Sweet Virginia is an indie thriller that succeeds in telling a Coen brothers-esque story that is ultimately made memorable by its terrific cast.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 24, 2019 Full Review Super Dark Times (2017) 89% EDIT “The ending feels a tad hamfisted in its execution, but by and large is a fantastic debut film for Kevin Phillips, and I'm excited to see how he follows it up.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Wounds (2019) 47% 4.5/10 EDIT “Wounds is a peculiar disappointment that dabbles in too many genres while never succeeding adequately in any particular one.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 22, 2019 Full Review Little Monsters (2019) 79% 7/10 EDIT “Lupita Nyong'o gives a terrific, standout performance that ultimately elevates this average zombie comedy.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 15, 2019 Full Review In the Tall Grass (2019) 36% 5.5/10 EDIT “Despite a promising first act, In The Tall Grass quickly devolves into mediocrity.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Doom: Annihilation (2019) 43% 4/10 EDIT “A forgettable cast and subpar action further dooms the reputation of yet another video game movie adaptation.” – Cultured Vultures Oct 1, 2019 Full Review 1922 (2017) 92% EDIT “Almost unanimous praise aside, I will say that 1922's final chapter does run a tad too long...but what it does capitalize on is the root and themes of King's best works.” – Cultured Vultures Sep 10, 2019 Full Review Polar (2019) 20% EDIT “As just about every element of the film ranges from underwhelming to bad, I would be hard-pressed to recommend Polar to anyone other than hardcore fans of Mads Mikkelsen, and even then, there are countless better action films.” – Cultured Vultures Aug 17, 2019 Full Review The Hole in the Ground (2019) 83% 8.5/10 EDIT “The Hole In the Ground is an unsettling bout of paranoia that makes for a memorable directorial debut.” – Cultured Vultures Aug 17, 2019 Full Review
