MontiLee Stormer

Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

MontiLee Stormer is a writer of horror, dark and urban fantasy. She?s also is a troublemaker, concocting acts of mayhem and despair for her own selfish pleasure. An avid movie watcher, she prefers horror but will see just about anything if you're buying. Poltergeist (1982) is her favorite movie and she actively hates The Shining (1980) due to its racism, misogyny, the butchering of the source material. She could host a TEDtalk on this single subject. Writing about herself in the third person is just a bonus.

Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “This standalone decisively links the Predator mythology with the relentless corporate monster of the Alien franchise. If the Yautja hunts for honor, Weyland-Yutani hunts for profit, seeking alien tech to dominate the bio-weapons market (or every market). ” – MovieReelist.com Nov 8, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 4.5/5 EDIT “GDT builds a world dripping in texture, assisted by Eugenio Caballero’s production design, resurrecting the true, oppressive atmosphere of a mid-19th-C opium haze. You can practically smell the damp earth, human waste, and overripe scientific ambition” – MovieReelist.com Nov 8, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Bugonia is a study in contrast. Sympathy for the pharmaceutical villain, fear and mistrust of the clearly mentally ill conspiracy nut. The tender humanity of Teddy and the sociopathic corporate mindset of Michelle. ” – MovieReelist.com Nov 8, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “Good Fortune wants to highlight the gig economy and how hard it is for those living on the margins to keep from falling behind, and like Gabriel, it does best when the plot stays simple and uncomplicated.” – MovieReelist.com Nov 8, 2025 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% 3/5 EDIT “If there’s one thing Black Phone 2 is offering, its gruesome deaths.” – MovieReelist.com Nov 8, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 3.5/5 EDIT “It delivers all of that with Tron: Ares, keeping the smart people smart but not helpless, the villains complicated but not monologuing, and the thrilling action a constantly moving animal that only pauses to take a sip of air.” – MovieReelist.com Oct 10, 2025 Full Review V/H/S Halloween (2025) 89% 3.5/5 EDIT “Brad Miska and Bloody Disgusting, pull out all of the stops when curating this batch of all Halloween stories. Even the wrap-around story is full of surprises and bright terror. V/H/S Halloween has the potential to redeem the franchise.” – MovieReelist.com Oct 10, 2025 Full Review House on Eden (2025) 36% 3.5/5 EDIT “How much was scripted, I do not know, but the chemistry of “Kris” and “Celina” give an uncomfortable realness, especially when the catty fighting began. These aren’t influencers acting; these are actors who have found roles that make them shine.” – MovieReelist.com Oct 10, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “The Long Walk could be looking at Oscar nods, especially for its leads, Jonsson and Hoffman. The Long Walk is timely as it hits uncomfortably close to home while examining how far we would go to outlast people we barely know and haven’t had time to hate.” – MovieReelist.com Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Eenie Meanie (2025) 43% 2/5 EDIT “Eenie Meanie is perfectly adequate date-night fun where you’re going to be chatting about the better things you’ve seen the actors in or background noise for cleaning out closets and vacuuming. It requires low brain power to follow.” – MovieReelist.com Sep 22, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% 3/5 EDIT “Justin Tipping wants to make HIM about the dangers of success at any cost. Unfortunately the diametrically opposed characters make this Faustian arrangement harder to navigate than Dante’s Inferno (1321) which I’ll admit I confuse with Faust all the time.” – MovieReelist.com Sep 22, 2025 Full Review Nobody 2 (2025) 76% 3.5/5 EDIT “Nobody 2 is bloodier and more gory, leaning heavily into the thriller genre, but that helps the comedy land when it counts. Unlike many sequels, it doesn’t skimp on the story or development holding out for another film” – MovieReelist.com Aug 16, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “Everyone plays the straight man to Drebin's straight man, creating a circular composition of cerebral clutter. It isn't anything anyone wants to be in the middle of, but it’s fun to watch from the safety of a recliner.” – MovieReelist.com Aug 1, 2025 Full Review I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) 36% 1.5/5 EDIT “I Know What You Did Last Summer is full of characters played by actors who look like other actors from films we watched years ago but actually enjoyed.” – MovieReelist.com Jul 25, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a kickoff to new adventures with no hint or promise of a crossover, at least not in this installment. The lack of pressure to shoehorn in a third-string “hero” for the sake of content removes a lot of that pressure. ” – MovieReelist.com Jul 25, 2025 Full Review M3GAN 2.0 (2025) 57% 3.5/5 EDIT “Not everyone will love it and that’s okay. The idea smacks of gross consumerism and an eye towards lucrative merch. However, once the lights go down, you’re in for 119 minutes of chaos, sure to leave your face sore from alternating laughing and grimacing.” – MovieReelist.com Jun 28, 2025 Full Review The Sound (2025) 8% 2.5 EDIT “There isn’t enough story to pad out the climbing, and the characters were just a little too two-dimensional to tell apart. This isn’t a reflection of the actors, but without meaty material, emotions felt too superficial to climb a rock that massive.” – MovieReelist.com Jun 28, 2025 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% 3/5 EDIT “F1 didn’t set out to beat me over the head with facts and numbers, yet included me on an thrilling (if abbreviated) tour of the circuit helping build the momentum to the big finish.” – MovieReelist.com Jun 28, 2025 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “It’s long enough to get the story across without overstaying its magic. There are slapstick giggles for the young, and sly adult fare for the perpetually twelve. It doesn’t skimp on the flying or action, and you won’t feel cheated by the climax.” – MovieReelist.com Jun 28, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% 3/5 EDIT “If you’re afraid you won’t remember any of the last seven movies over the last twenty-nine years, don’t worry! There are enough quick flashbacks to unlock core memories in even the foggiest of brains.” – MovieReelist.com Jun 28, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “I enjoyed the not-so-perfect adventure, the petty sniping that bubbled from that deep well of resentment, the sense that for every move, there was an unseen Sword of Damocles waiting to end everything. And Bob. You can’t not like Bob.” – MovieReelist.com Jun 28, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% 5/5 EDIT “Sinners feels like a musical, if musicals were subtle creatures birthing quietly and living as background processes in the blood.” – MovieReelist.com Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Drop has everything I love about horror movies – a short running time, smart, relatable everyman characters, unwinnable odds, and loads of fun. Screenwriters Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach are veterans of the Blumhouse churn of a quick in and out” – MovieReelist.com Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 52% 3.5/5 EDIT “The stellar cast of Death of a Unicorn, plus the near pitch-perfect script by writer director Alex Scharfman in his feature-length debut, right the scales of humor, shock, and gore.” – MovieReelist.com Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Holland (2025) 21% 2/5 EDIT “If, like me, you’re wondering what would have made this movie better, maybe not cramming the unresolved plot points of six other movies would have helped.” – MovieReelist.com Mar 28, 2025 Full Review
