The Dreadful (2026) Claire Di Maio Unfocused and underdeveloped, The Dreadful presents a dreamlike vision of historical horror without delving deeply into what makes for an immersive horror experience.

Firebreak (2026) Claire Di Maio Cuesta, Furriel, and Auquer are splendid actors, making their performances multilayered in a story that demands there be no heroes or villains, just people desperate for the truth.

Made in Korea (2026) Claire Di Maio There are interesting elements in the film, but in execution, it’s an uneven drama about the reality of problems following you wherever you go.

Reminders of Him (2026) Claire Di Maio For all its tropes and uninspired music choices, Reminders of Him has a genuine charm neither of Hoover’s previous adaptations achieved.

7.5/10
The Red Line (2026) Claire Di Maio The Red Line is engrossing and powerful. With a strong cast and culturally relevant premise, it holds up a chilling mirror to our own world and the cost of seeking justice at any price.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) James Preston Poole The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is a bit of a mess, prioritizing lavish visuals, set pieces, and a critical mass of references over telling a coherent story.

A Private Life (2025) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis It’s nice to see that Foster, now a full 54 years into her career, is still full of surprises.

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis The comedic strengths of Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice and the ensemble are more than enough to make this a worthwhile watch.

Fantasy Life (2025) Brogan Luke Bouwhuis The outcomes are unpredictable. But the film is also not without optimism, and Shear makes a satisfying case for what can happen when one puts in the work.

Miroirs No. 3 (2025) Allyson Johnson Miroirs No. 3 might not reach the heights of Christian Petzold’s greatest hits, but it’s a lovely, understated rumination on the inner conflicts that drive our decision-making.

Forbidden Fruits (2026) James Preston Poole An infinitely rewatchable gem that does most everything it sets its heart to perfectly.

Our Hero, Balthazar (2025) James Preston Poole Our Hero, Balthazar, is a complex, whip-smart, empathetic work that is uncommonly perceptive on topics such as wealth inequality, growing isolation, and obsession with violence in the United States.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) Allyson Johnson With gratuitous, unnecessary violence, stagnant direction, and repetitive writing, Ready or Not 2 Here I Come is forgettable.

Pretty Lethal (2026) Allyson Johnson Despite some committed performances and a premise that bubbles with possibility, there’s not enough personality or direction to make it anything more than another half-baked action flick.

Never After Dark (2026) Sarah Musnicky Never After Dark is a near-perfect haunting.

THE BRIDE! (2026) Kate Sánchez Maggie Gyllenhaal belongs behind the camera as much as she did in front of it, and I can’t wait to see more from her. Darkly fantastical, hauntingly romantic, and a furious look at women’s place in the world, The Bride is a reimagining like no other.

Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience (2026) Sarah Musnicky Watching Stray Kids The dominATE Experience shows how far they’ve come and how much more they have to give to the world.

Hoppers (2026) Jason Flatt Hoppers puts together a fun world and a meaningful plot. While it doesn’t quite reach the levels of exceptional of Pixar’s heyday, it is easily their best original effort in a long time.

The Bluff (2026) Kate Sánchez With Priyanka Chopra Jonas at its center, she gives her best action performance in a film that embodies the modern revenge story and the swashbuckling pirate tales we don’t get anymore.

Pavane (2026) Sarah Musnicky At its core, loneliness and a fleeting sorrow permeate Pavane (2026) that belies the film’s inevitable end.

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) James Preston Poole If you’ve ever questioned why Presley has been called "The King," you owe it to yourself to see EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert big and loud.

This Is Not a Test (2025) Vanessa Maki This Is Not a Test is worth checking out, if not for the zombies, then for Olivia Holt, who drives the film. While it won’t shock or surprise you in terms of the story beats, you won’t regret tuning in.

How to Make a Killing (2026) Kate Sánchez A different kind of grass-is-greener story, How To Make A Killing is a film made by its cast, and it excels thanks to Glen Powell’s inability to be anything but likable.

Cold Storage (2026) Sarah Musnicky Cold Storage is a quick-paced, entertaining ride. It’s one of those films that you go in and shut your mind off, sit down, and let it take you where it wants you to go.

The Friend's House Is Here (2026) Anna Miller The mere existence of a film such as The Friend’s House is Here stands as a reminder that there will always be a future worth fighting for, and people left worth fighting alongside.

Diabolic (2025) Kenneth Seward Jr. It also features decent cinematography and a strong performance from Elizabeth Cullen. However, the muddled plot, conflicting messaging, and tame jump scares ruin just about everything else.

The Mortuary Assistant (2026) Kenneth Seward Jr. Unfortunately, it incorporates popular moments/elements from its source material without fully understanding how they would translate on film, resulting in a bloated and occasionally confusing experience.

Wuthering Heights (2026) Kate Sánchez "Wuthering Heights" is abysmally dull, despite it’s constant attempts at shock (that never goes far enough) and it’s gorgeous sets and costumes.

The Strangers: Chapter 3 (2026) James Preston Poole The Strangers Chapter 3 suffers from once again feeling like a piece of a bigger movie, sure. What’s different this time around is that it’s plenty compelling on its own, even in its fragmented form.

Jimpa (2025) Adrian Ruiz Jimpa asks its audience to remain present with disappointment, affection, anger, and gratitude all at once, trusting that those emotions can coexist without being reconciled.

Saccharine (2026) Kate Sánchez Saccharine (2026) won’t find an audience with everyone, but for those who see themselves, they’ll feel anger, shame, sadness, and hopefully, catharsis. I know I did, and in the end, that’s what cinema is all about.

Dracula (2025) Jason Flatt Dracula (2025) could have stayed in its box. A stronger script and tighter runtime could maybe have elevated the romantic approach to the legend, but as it stands, it’s a lesser entry in the long, and especially recent, canon of adaptations.

Even If This Love Disappears from the World Tonight (2025) Sarah Musnicky Even If This Love Disappears Tonight is the kind of film that surprises upon completion. Its naturally slow building romance, and the absolute chemistry Shin Si-ah and Choo Young-woo have onscreen easily lure you in.

The Weight (2026) James Preston Poole The Weight is a blisteringly confident trek through Oregon, where each flirtation with death feels closer than the last, and each cinematic flourish outdoes the last.

Iron Lung (2026) James Preston Poole Iron Lung is a remarkably accomplished debut for Markiplier behind and in front of the camera. A slow-burning submarine voyage into cosmic dread, more inspired than much of the modern horror genre, Iron Lung fundamentally trusts its audience.

See You When I See You (2026) Kate Sánchez See You When I See You captures hope and love, grief and pain, and does so with an earnestness that seeks to build a bridge between the audience and its characters, and, more importantly, the audience and those in their lives who may need help.

The Wrecking Crew (2026) Allyson Johnson The Wrecking Crew is loud, and bloody, and hints at greater thematic weight than it’s able actually to muster. The script, however, and the foundation the story is built on, crumble early and never come back together.
