1.5/5
Return to Silent Hill (2026) Jeff Nelson Instead of getting lost in this psychological labyrinth, its lack of impact lands with an unfortunately hollow thud.

3.5/5
The Plague (2025) Jeff Nelson The Plague is more of a dramatic thriller than an outright horror film, but it’s a suffocating experience that blurs the line between them.

2.5/5
The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Jeff Nelson The egregious use of narration strips the story of dramatic revelations, refusing to interrogate Ann’s spirituality, intention, or her hypocrisies.

3/5
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Jeff Nelson Spectacle continues to operate on an unparalleled level, but the growing franchise should allow the narrative to evolve.

3/5
Is This Thing On? (2025) Jeff Nelson A humble dramedy with an authentic heart wrapped in an unremarkable casing.

3.5/5
No Other Choice (2025) Jeff Nelson No Other Choice dismantles the modern job market’s obsolescence of qualified workers, using black comedy as a coping mechanism to deal with the desperation and quiet humiliation of forced economic displacement.

4.5/5
Marty Supreme (2025) Jeff Nelson It’s a cinematic strike of lightning that leaves your nerves fried in what is undoubtedly one of the best movies of the year.
Posted Dec 03, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Man Finds Tape (2025) Jeff Nelson It gets off to a terrifying start, but what follows somehow overplays its hand while simultaneously underexplaining its lore.
Posted Dec 01, 2025  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Hamnet (2025) Jeff Nelson Don’t mistake Hamnet for another Shakespearean tale…this is ultimately a film about how humanity confronts the worst imaginable grief, from which there is no return.

3/5
The Secret Agent (2025) Jeff Nelson Just as The Secret Agent reaches its most gripping realizations, it’s over. Too much of what comes before feels like it’s simply moving through the motions, not entirely connecting into a cohesive whole.

3.5/5
Rental Family (2025) Jeff Nelson The morals behind "Rental Family" aren’t so easy to unpack, and it’s in this complexity that Hikari finds a story truly worth telling.

2/5
Wicked: For Good (2025) Jeff Nelson It’s ultimately weighed down by its tendency to gloss over crucial dramatic moments and the consequences they’re meant to carry, favoring eye-roll-inducing fan service over lucid storytelling.

4.5/5
Sirāt (2025) Jeff Nelson This riveting pendulum of a film swings back and forth between haunting drama and despair-laced horror. Quiet characterizations fill the space amid the frenzied to and fro, making that propulsive ending all the more chilling.

3.5/5
Sentimental Value (2025) Jeff Nelson Sentimental Value shows a quieter side of Joachim Trier…it is invigorating to see how he continues to grow as an artist who pushes and stretches his creative muscles to tackle complex textures of emotion.

3/5
Predator: Badlands (2025) Jeff Nelson Predator: Badlands lacks the grit of Prey and the relentless viciousness of Killer of Killers, but it offers a unique perspective on a long-running franchise, along with meaningful stakes and effective emotional beats.
Posted Nov 05, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
We Believe You (2025) Jeff Nelson We Believe You is a gripping directorial debut with razor-sharp precision — not just tugging on the heartstrings, but slicing right through them.
Posted Oct 30, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo (2025) Jeff Nelson More effective as a vignette than a full-length feature, The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo is a lyrical Western that reminds us why we should continue to love, even in a world filled with so much hatred.
Posted Oct 29, 2025  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Shelby Oaks (2023) Jeff Nelson Shelby Oaks gets lost in the weeds of tired horror tropes, diluting the early frights and eerie atmosphere into a flavorless concoction.
Posted Oct 23, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Bugonia (2025) Jeff Nelson Deviating from the tired eat-the-rich movies of late, Bugonia is a mesmerizing takedown of humanity, brimming with tension and pitch-black comedy.

3.5/5
Tinsman Road (2025) Jeff Nelson There’s nothing more terrifying than anguish in this found footage gem, more interested in its haunting tapestry of sorrow and longing than it is in short-lived scares.
Posted Oct 16, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
It Was Just an Accident (2025) Jeff Nelson Despite the heavy gravity of Panahi’s subject matter, he approaches this revenge thriller with glimmers of unexpected optimism and empathy.
Posted Oct 13, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Jeff Nelson If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is a film unafraid to express ugly truths without casting prejudice on its lead character for feeling them.
Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Urchin (2025) Jeff Nelson A tragic drama that wields hope like a knife slowly piercing the heart.
Posted Oct 09, 2025  Edit critic review
1.5/5
TRON: Ares (2025) Jeff Nelson Too much of Tron: Ares is spent in our world, shedding its enthralling digital worldbuilding in favor of an AI Pinocchio story.
Posted Oct 08, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
The Smashing Machine (2025) Jeff Nelson As far as biopics go, it’s a serviceable one with an impressive lead performance, but the impact is more of a jab than a knockout.
Posted Oct 02, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Good Boy (2025) Jeff Nelson Without the dog twist, Good Boy isn’t doing anything particularly new to set itself apart from the typical haunting narrative. However, the dog’s point of view does make for an effective and invigorating experiment.
Posted Oct 02, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
V/H/S Halloween (2025) Jeff Nelson Despite its shortcomings, V/H/S/Halloween is a step up from the franchise’s most recent installments.
Posted Sep 29, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Plainclothes (2025) Jeff Nelson Plainclothes is hardly a thriller; it’s most successful as a dramatic romance about morality and repression.
Posted Sep 18, 2025  Edit critic review
5/5
One Battle After Another (2025) Jeff Nelson This stone-cold cinematic masterwork swings for the fences with razor-sharp political satire packaged in a sentimental father-daughter story.
Posted Sep 18, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The History of Sound (2025) Jeff Nelson The initial romantic butterflies that flutter from Mescal and O’Connor’s buzzing chemistry and the enriching expedition through folk music archiving gradually run cold.
Posted Sep 11, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
The Long Walk (2025) Jeff Nelson The Long Walk is a gut-wrenching jolt to the heart and nerves. As terrifying as the walking contest becomes, the stakes between these endearing Musketeers are what make this story so blistering.
Posted Sep 04, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Twinless (2025) Jeff Nelson It’s a complex, aching meditation on loneliness that unpacks isolation both in what was lost and in the shadow of what never truly existed

3.5/5
Splitsville (2025) Jeff Nelson Splitsville throws a hysterical spin on the rom-com, blending common genre tropes with modern relationship dynamics.

3.5/5
Ne Zha II (2025) Jeff Nelson This is the rare sequel that surpasses its original. The sheer spectacle is worth the price of admission, but there’s a heart at its center, too.
Posted Aug 18, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Nobody 2 (2025) Jeff Nelson Nobody 2 is a one-man-army story stuffed into a family vacation. Unfortunately, it fumbles the balance between the two, neglecting the breakneck action in favor of an underdeveloped message on fatherhood.

1.5/5
Hell House LLC: Lineage (2025) Jeff Nelson If this is truly the end of the franchise, it’s a disappointing note to close on. Worst of all: it just isn’t scary.
Posted Aug 12, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Weapons (2025) Jeff Nelson Weapons is a delightfully twisted brew of frights and dark humor. On the surface, it’s a riveting horror vision, but deeper than that, it’s a devilishly clever tale about the evil behind weaponizing grief and fear.
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Together (2025) Jeff Nelson It’s an off-kilter romance that wants to unnerve you just as much as it wants to make you laugh.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Oh, Hi! (2025) Jeff Nelson Much like the relationship it depicts, this anti-rom-com is as magnetic as it is frustrating.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Jeff Nelson It’s just a shame that the characters and their relationships feel underwritten and stiff, especially when the worldbuilding around them hints at something greater.
