Air Shift (2025) Bobby LePire Air Shift is a fun combination of two different horror styles that works far more often than it does not. The cast is good and makes the most of what they have to work with.

All About the Money (2026) Bradley Gibson This is a brilliant film that shifts focus away from the commune to become an intimate exposé of how shockingly little accountability is demanded of the very wealthy.

Blackout (2025) Alan Ng From its story, action, and thermonuclear stakes, Blackout has enough to make this an engaging indie thriller for a weekend movie-and-chill night.

Tafiti: Across the Desert (2025) Alan Ng If you’re hunting for a fresh animated quest for the under-ten crowd, Tafiti: Across the Desert delivers a simple, sweet ride with Tafiti and Bristles proving that the best adventures come with an unexpected (yet familiar) partner.

Conversation Piece (1974) Ricky Archuleta With a succinct title derived from the late literary critic and art historian, Mario Praz, Conversation Piece is an awakening for those who feel life and its pleasures are exhausted.

The Musical (2026) Bradley Gibson The kids playing the drama students are the real gems in this muddy drama.

Shelter (2026) Alan Ng Ultimately, Shelter will just go on your physical media shelf as another action film to watch in the background.

Paying for It (2024) Ricky Archuleta Paying for It is a tremendous effort that honors Brown’s source novel while digging deeper into its subtext.

Tokyo Bordello (1987) Perry Norton This is a rich, wild ride into the past.

8.5/10
Big Girls Don't Cry (2026) Kent Hill Though the images in Big Girls Don’t Cry are dreamy and easy, the movie is about growing up. And this film reminds us that the bitterness of experience can quickly outweigh the sweetness and bliss of the moment.

8/10
Send Help (2026) Bradley Gibson Send Help is a brilliant, startlingly gory dark comedy. Sam Raimi still has that old magic.

The Rip (2026) Ricky Archuleta In a world where there is no shortage of cop thrillers, The Rip is sheer popcorn entertainment from start to finish.

7.5/10
Evidence of the Boogeyman (2025) Bobby LePire Evidence Of The Boogeyman is a typical found footage film in terms of its presentation and style. But the screenplay gives the characters room to breathe and only gives out backstory when 100% necessary.
Posted Jan 27, 2026  Edit critic review
10/10
Reflection in a Dead Diamond (2025) Michael Talbot-Haynes It is not just an exercise in style over content, as Cattet and Forzani elevate the spy trappings into a surreal memory spiral that resembles Last Year At Marienbad through a five-foot Graffix bong.

Smile... The Worst Is Yet to Come (2026) Kent Hill The impeccable swallow dive Lenihan pulls off with Smile…The Worst is Yet to Come is magical. Few pictures these days have you walking away from the screen with a smile on your face, and indeed, hope in your heart.

Belén (2025) Rick Hong Belén is Fonzi’s second-directed film, and she keeps it concise, creating enough suspense and drama without overdoing it.

Love the Skin You're In (2025) Alan Ng Love The Skin You’re In may not be ultra-dark drama, nor are the stakes life-and-death, but it is down-to-earth drama.

Invisible Warriors (2026) Sabina Dana Plasse An excellent effort to preserve history for future generations to learn from, Invisible Warriors is an important historical film that Cooke put an incredible effort into creating a solid historical account.

Another Day in America (2024) Alan Ng Look, I’m a fan of laugh-out-loud comedies, but I’m an even bigger fan of movies that make you think and leave a long-lasting impression at the same time. Another Day in America does exactly that.

Dooba Dooba (2024) Bobby LePire Overall, the director proves he has what it takes to scare cinephiles, and he got a cast just as creepy as his plot.

31 Candles (2025) Perry Norton Leo’s journey is handled perfectly. Feingold is a star; cute as a button and funny as hell.

Killing Faith (2025) Alan Ng Killing Faith reminds me how much fun a Stephen King adaptation can be and should be. Crowley captures the spirit of the old-time Western and masterfully builds the tension for each encounter our heroes face.

7/10
Super Happy Fun Clown (2025) Mikkel Frederiksen Subsequently, Super Happy Fun Clown is not a super happy fun time, but it does deliver a grungy killer clown story meant for fans of the genre who want to squirm at the grossness, cheer at the violence, and indulge in the nonsense.

Promised Sky (2025) Bobby LePire The writing is the star of Promised Sky. The directing is pretty standard, but it does not impede the story’s flow or characterizations.

9.5/10
Holy Ghetto (2025) Bobby LePire Holy Ghetto is very straightforward, but it needs to be. It shines a light on forgotten people who need help and the few who are trying to do so. The anecdotes are heartbreaking, surprising, and intense, giving the story a lot of weight.

Bullets for the Bad (2023) Bobby LePire Bullets For The Bad uses almost every cliche one can think of. But that doesn’t mean it is bad, far from it. Baker directs with confidence and love, creating an exciting spaghetti western that has old-school and modern appeal.

Maldoror (2024) Kent Hill To the director Fabrice, his co-writer Domenico La Porta, the entire cast and crew, Maldoror is a picture that invokes memories of great filmmakers and their contributions to the genre, whilst staying culturally unique and period perfect.

Vindicta (2026) Bradley Gibson Vindicta cuts open those scars and pours salt on them, but then delivers sublime catharsis. Sedlar shows us one way to fight. We may yet have need of people like Hannah to stand up and push back.

Signing Tony Raymond (2025) Kent Hill As feel-good as Moneyball. It’s a treat to see turns from the comically tragic Sorvino, who reminds us why she won an Oscar, plus an awesome little cameo from Brian Bosworth, bringing the sly charm and confident cool as he did in his heyday.

On the Sea (2025) Alan Ng In the end, I think I’m jaded toward On The Sea, because I’ve seen it done so much better in American cinema. I suppose if you’ve never seen a gay romance drama, this might work, but in the end, it just feels dated and done before.

Learning You (2026) Alan Ng Learning You lets you know that you’re not alone and that every person is different, but not forgotten or unseen. Best of all, there is hope.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) Alan Ng At the risk of being hyperbolic, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is a great movie. It offers laughs, thrills, and it’s a thinker; you will not be disappointed.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Bradley Gibson With Garland crafting the script and DeCosta at the wheel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is a winner on all fronts.

The Mother and the Bear (2024) Bobby LePire The Mother And The Bear is a very different spin on the romantic comedy and self-actualization tale. By combining the two, Johnny Ma creates a distinct and engaging story.
