The subtleties of the characters ... make for an even more compelling experience.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Back to the Past (2025) 2.5/4 EDIT “[W]hile it doesn't keep newcomers in the dark, the movie doesn't exactly take full advantage of its characters and concept.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 29, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 75% 2/4 EDIT “The most significant problem with The Wrecking Crew is that it ultimately becomes a bland, predictable actioner.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 28, 2026 Full Review In Cold Light (2025) 45% 2/4 EDIT “[The] simplistic narrative feels like an unfortunate injustice to the initial setup.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 24, 2026 Full Review Return to Silent Hill (2026) 17% 2/4 EDIT “Everything about the movie is ultimately generic, more than anything else.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Clika (2026) 10% 1.5/4 EDIT “Clika makes at least two major mistakes when it comes to the movie's main character.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Mother of Flies (2025) 94% 3/4 EDIT “[I]t's fascinating to watch as the Adams Family flip the whole affair on its head.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 23, 2026 Full Review Standout: The Ben Kjar Story (2025) 100% 3/4 EDIT “The framing of this story is, perhaps, it's most important element...” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% 1.5/4 EDIT “Thankfully, Mercy is so silly and unbelievable that everyone should be able to see through what a terrible idea its premise is.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Cosmic Princess Kaguya! (2026) 2.5/4 EDIT “The narrative becomes a messy collection of ideas...” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 22, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 3/4 EDIT “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple becomes yet another satisfying and subversive, if even more incomplete, chapter in this series.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 16, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% 3/4 EDIT “[T]he inherent skepticism of The Rip ... gives the film an extra layer of tension...” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 16, 2026 Full Review A Useful Ghost (2025) 86% 3.5/4 EDIT “Here's a filmmaker who's bold in his storytelling ambitions... [and] skilled in managing these dynamic tonal gymnastics...” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Sound of Falling (2025) 95% 2/4 EDIT “Sound of Falling ... moves between its timelines with only vague ideas motivating and linking those shifts...” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Killer Whale (2026) 22% 1/4 EDIT “[T]he characters are so bland ... that the orca ... is the most fascinating thing about the movie, and it's barely in the thing.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 16, 2026 Full Review SHEEPDOG (2025) 77% 2/4 EDIT “It's simply a movie dealing with ideas too complex for the simplicity with which it approaches them.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 59% 1.5/4 EDIT “It's probably overblown to call this premise irresponsible, but on some level, it certainly feels like that's the case.” – Mark Reviews Movies Jan 15, 2026 Full Review
