Good Boy (2025) 90% 8/10 EDIT “More than just a promising premise, it's one of the most refreshing horror experiences of the year. Doesn't scare away audiences that usually avoid horror but offers enough atmosphere to engage genre fans. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% 7/10 EDIT “Successfully turns what was a great little film into the first half of what feels like the full experience. Does a great job complementing the first film while neglecting some duties of being an individual sequel. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Oct 20, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% 7/10 EDIT “A vintage yet evergreen retooling of the heist genre exploring how men fall prey of cycles of socioeconomic unrest and neglect their individual responsibilities trying to overcorrect an eroded ego. [Full review in Spanish] ” – Cinéfilo Serial Oct 20, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% 9/10 EDIT “The result of a script that dares to explore complex social behavior through the subjective POV of a troubled lead proves messy, but Guadagnino's delicate direction helps build a uniquely worthy emotional experience by the end. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Oct 20, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 5/10 EDIT “A noble project with little personality that aims to honor the fighters that helped make UFC what it's today while offering a barely decent The Rock performance and a disappointing start to the youngest Safdie solo career. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Oct 20, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 9/10 EDIT “One of the most representative movies of this decade, not only for it's absolute brilliance but it's charismatic treatment of themes both contemporary and cyclical. An unabashedly political odyssey of riveting cinematic intensity. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Oct 20, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 7/10 EDIT “A very good script, great characters and some memorable performances help support a simple yet intriguing premise. It's a shame there isn't more of a cinematic support to bolster it's literary and theatrical strengths. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) 86% 8/10 EDIT “A franchise that gets slightly better with every new film while never transcending beyond serviceable enjoyment. Unwieldy expectations are the only enemy of what's basically a "Fast and Furious for kids" Feat. vintage Jim Carrey. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% 9/10 EDIT “Tension filled horror with that grim melancholy of the inevitable tragedy. May feel too static if one expect classics to be reinvented, but Eggers crude gothic obsessions reaffirms Orlok as the original cinematic vampyr. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 46% 5/10 EDIT “A chaotic farce that mixes Shakespeare with the Looney Tunes. The clarity of ambition from Fritz Lang's Metropolis meets the insane-decisions-per-second from George Lucas' Star Wars prequels to offer the rambling echoes of genius. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% 9/10 EDIT “Reijn has built a psychological thriller much more interesting and deep that what it's "erotic games" superficiality may suggest. An engaging look forward in a sub-genre usually limited by male minded simplicity. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Here (2024) 36% 8/10 EDIT “Visually inventive but narratively stale, feels like a Zemeckis production that's both worthy of being celebrated and ridiculed. Has that melodramatic heart of his classics of old paired with his usual ill-inspired bravado. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 48% 5/10 EDIT “A project with the minimum expectation of being more than mere narrative functionality ends up being an experience that barely transcends mediocrity. An Invisible Man follow up that took to long lo produce and ended up half-baked. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 7/10 EDIT “Her meets Terminator has valuable qualities of both TV and streaming, with an effective execution that offers short term engagement to the audience but doesn't offer anything more than redundant code on the big screen. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% 10/10 EDIT “An epic from another era that bridges cinema's vintage glory with humanity's vile modern vices, employs both techniques of the past and regrettable IA flourishes that ironically helps show the corruption of culture, art and soul. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Dog Man (2025) 82% 10/10 EDIT “One of the best animated comedies from 2025, combining qualities that should entertain audiences of kids as well as animated obssessed adults. Hilariously irreverent to a Naked Gun degree, knows that in life expressiveness is key. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Riefenstahl (2024) 97% 9/10 EDIT “Without a narrator and with silences louder than words, this documentary gives the audience all of the tools to paint by themselves a complex and damning portrait of one of the most controversial figures in all of cinema history. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Miroirs No. 3 (2025) 94% 7/10 EDIT “A small treat to heavy hearts. Petzold employs a realistic tranquility to take on themes that would tend to melodrama, recreating that off-putting simplicity of "moving on" from a traumatic event. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Together (2025) 89% 8/10 EDIT “The real life chemistry of it's charismatic double leads embolden an already solid horror movie script into a body horror drama about the nightmares of falling in love. It aims high and manages to be a pretty unique little gem. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review The Storm (2024) 4/10 EDIT “With impressive visuals but too many missteps in character decisions and it's general narrative, The Storm offers little beyond some impressive animation and a Ghibli pastiche. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% 8/10 EDIT “A thriller with an amazing cast that offers high-octane entertainment thanks to some great action, good comedy and a good share of both surprises and suspense. Huston and Aronofsky use their experience to make it easy to enjoy. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 19, 2025 Full Review War of the Worlds (2025) 4% 3/10 EDIT “An absolutely inept family thriller. Balances pure lazyness and enough unwanted humor to make both a terrible and thoroughly enjoyable experience for the right audience, with a sponsored climax that's already a highlight of 2025. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 1, 2025 Full Review The Life of Chuck (2024) 80% 10/10 EDIT “Both a beautiful tale by King and Flanagan's best film to date. A masterpiece that contains a multitude of talent and the work of two masters of different mediums resulting in an atemporal film about our current times. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Nobody 2 (2025) 76% 6/10 EDIT “A somewhat blander version of the first one. At times feels like just a celebration of the first Nobody's success but it has enough action and good character work to make this action comedy an easy family ride to enjoy. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Godland (2022) 92% 10/10 EDIT “One of the most poignant films about the human spirit and it's struggles released in the last couple of years. An experience that trascends faith through pain and beauty to focus on humanity's search both for meaning and oblivion. [Full review in Spanish]” – Cinéfilo Serial Aug 19, 2025 Full Review
