The Dutchman (2025) 59% 7/10 EDIT “Despite some flaws, it's held together by its two leads, Holland and Mara, with a purposely uncomfortable relationship that will keep you thinking long after the end credits stop.” – Collider Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) 77% 5/10 EDIT “Any semblance of true horror is removed because Billy is presented as the good guy. He's not a monster or someone for the audience to be afraid of, but a messed-up anti-hero we sympathize with and cheer on. ” – Collider Dec 8, 2025 Full Review Trap House (2025) 52% 6/10 EDIT “Trap House has some highly respectable talent, so it's a shame that they're not asked to do more than the bare minimum.” – Collider Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Playdate (2025) 23% 5/10 EDIT “Forget action star, Alan Ritchson is destined for comedy.” – Collider Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Long Shadows (2025) 3/10 EDIT “It's flat characters on an unfinished stage, rehearsing a bad script, with no weight behind any of the odd choices and filming techniques. It wants to be a movie, but it doesn't know how. Just stay on your horse and ride past this one.” – Collider Nov 7, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% 8/10 EDIT “In Your Dreams deserves to be held up with the best of what other animation studios have done, and as one of the most visually stunning, funniest, and beautifully touching films of the year, Kuku Studios and Alex Woo are here to stay.” – Collider Nov 7, 2025 Full Review R. L. Stine's Pumpkinhead (2025) 6/10 EDIT “Pumpkinhead doesn't always work, but it makes a valiant attempt to lightly scare its younger audience, and it isn't afraid to go for a shocking finale where not everything is wrapped up tight with a perfect happy ending. ” – Collider Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Vicious (2025) 44% 6/10 EDIT “Although it becomes predictable towards the end and goes on a little too long, a strong opening act, a creepy atmosphere, and a superb performance from Fanning make Vicious a fun, albeit flawed, little fright fest worth checking out.” – Collider Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Coyotes (2025) 59% 6/10 EDIT “Its stellar leads give it their all, but Coyotes ultimately falls short of its potential. It's still enjoyable enough, just too tame to become anything more than a little popcorn movie you forget all about days later.” – Collider Oct 2, 2025 Full Review V/H/S Halloween (2025) 89% 5/10 EDIT “It's definitely the funniest of the franchise, but while it's filled with gore, the derivative segments of shaky cameras, incessant screaming, and jump scares quickly become frustrating. You've played this tape before, and it's starting to wear thin.” – Collider Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Doin' It (2024) 50% 6/10 EDIT “Doin' It is by no means a failure. It's raunchy, likable, and funny, but it's also forgettable when it had everything going for it.” – Collider Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Adulthood (2025) 77% 7/10 EDIT “Adulthood is a film with three-dimensional people who are good for some laughs due to their reactions, but the surrounding plot is high-stakes and filled with suspense.” – Collider Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Code 3 (2025) 78% 7/10 EDIT “Code 3 will make you look at Rainn Wilson and see him as so much more than just one legendary character. Fact.” – Collider Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Traumatika (2024) 68% 4/10 EDIT “On the surface, Traumatika has the potential to be a hidden little gem, but bad writing and way too many points of view for its short 80-minute runtime make it feel like an unfinished film.” – Collider Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Trust (2025) 21% 5/10 EDIT “Trust does a great job of showing what Turner is capable of. The problem is everything around her. Pardon the pun, but it takes an interesting premise and doesn't trust itself to craft a compelling story with interesting characters around it.” – Collider Aug 21, 2025 Full Review Night Always Comes (2025) 52% 7/10 EDIT “Night Always Comes can get a little unrealistic with the peril we find her in, and sitting in that darkness for nearly two hours can get a little emotionally taxing, but even when it's too much to bear, you'll find a film that needs to be seen.” – Collider Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Witchboard (2024) 59% 5/10 EDIT “While it's fun to see Russell making a horror movie again, and his direction is more than adequate, a boring script, frustrating characters, and every lazy trope imaginable hold the film back from being something worthwhile.” – Collider Aug 14, 2025 Full Review Sovereign (2025) 95% 8/10 EDIT “Sovereign is a tragedy, but with two small final scenes, it also shows us that resilience can get those left behind through the absolute worst.” – Collider Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story (2025) 100% 8/10 EDIT “National Geographic's Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story lives up to its presumptuous title, telling the complete story of Jaws, from how Peter Benchley came up with the title for his novel, to why it terrified moviegoers on the big screen” – Collider Jul 3, 2025 Full Review The Old Guard 2 (2025) 27% 5/10 EDIT “The Old Guard 2 is filler that doesn't give us much of a reason to care about this movie. It's all synopsis, not a movie that exists on its own. The Old Guard 2 is about time and its impact, but it wastes so much of it.” – Collider Jul 2, 2025 Full Review Everything's Going to Be Great (2025) 56% 8/10 EDIT “With our real world filled with such darkness, Ainsworth and Everything's Going to Be Great provide a riveting beacon of hope. ” – Collider Jun 19, 2025 Full Review The Ritual (2025) 9% 3/10 EDIT “It's painful to write it, but The Ritual will go down as one of the worst movies in both of l Pacino's and Dan Stevens' respective careers — and Pacino's includes Jack and Jill.” – Collider Jun 3, 2025 Full Review Rosario (2025) 70% 5/10 EDIT “Rosario is a decent 90-minute watch. It's not awful, it's not going to insult you, but it's a retread of better movies with every predictable plot point you can imagine. ” – Collider Apr 28, 2025 Full Review Neighborhood Watch (2025) 70% 8/10 EDIT “Neighborhood Watch might have dark subject matter with two dark and broken characters, but there is sweetness and laughs in the realness. A heartbreaking tragedy is also one of the best feel-good movies of the year.” – Collider Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Wake Up (2023) 69% 6/10 EDIT “Wake Up mostly plays it safe, resulting in a horror movie that's fun without being scary, but then comes the last five minutes. Wake Up suddenly, er, wakes up with a shocking ending.” – Collider Apr 4, 2025 Full Review
