8/10
Leviticus (2026) Norman Gidney Chiarella’s script conceives a monster that fiendishly mimics the cruelty of dogmatic religion for those who don’t fit the mold.

4/10
Night Nurse (2026) Norman Gidney Night Nurse wants to stay in a lethargic haze of psychosexual intrigue, yet none of it is sexy nor interesting.

6/10
Levitating (2026) Sharai Bohannon Filmmaker Wregas Bhanuteja’s latest film, Levitating, is a beautiful and surprising examination of religion, addiction, and community. The film is a supernatural drama that offers some sick imagery as it makes its way to a slightly muddled conclusion.

Rock Springs (2026) Norman Gidney Writer Director Vera Miao taps real-world history to create a modern-day horror film that works for the most part.

8/10
undertone (2025) Norman Gidney By the time Undertone has you under its control you are mentally and emotionally captive. The result is easily one of the most terrifying films in years.

The Incomer (2026) Norman Gidney Paxton keeps the heart of the film beating with a certain beguiling charm.

6/10
Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant (2026) Norman Gidney The hilarious pregnancy happens, the expected chaos ensues, and copious fluids spew at the most awkward moments. Yet as charming and silly as this movie is, it can't overcome a sudden shift in the stakes and a third act that loses its steam.

6/10
Saccharine (2026) Norman Gidney Effectively disgusting, yet weighed down in ponderous, often meandering storytelling.

8/10
Buddy (2026) Norman Gidney A deliriously absurd, journey through the banal world of children’s programming that serves as both satire and an indictment. Buddy is destined to become a cult classic.

8/10
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Sharai Bohannon I don’t envy the film that has to follow this one. However, I’ll be damned if I’m not excited to see it after watching DaCosta revive another series.

Junkie (2025) Norman Gidney William Means writes and directs a surprisingly funny, gritty, and ultimately affirming story about an addict on the run.

4/10
The Disinvited (2024) Sharai Bohannon The Disinvited is definitely a movie for socially anxious people and plays on the horrors of FOMO. While the finished product isn’t for me, I like the doors that it opens and wish it had made better choices.

6/10
The Demoness (2025) Norman Gidney Infuses campy horror with a silly story of demonic ambition for amusing if mixed results.

3/10
Bitter Desire (2025) Norman Gidney What makes the film so egregious is that, given the resources, something better should have come from this.
Posted Dec 30, 2025  Edit critic review
6/10
The Plastic Men (2025) Norman Gidney Gonzalez has crafted a heartfelt tribute to the veterans that have served their country along with a message of compassion and empathy.
Posted Dec 29, 2025  Edit critic review
6/10
Our Happy Place (2024) Norman Gidney It’s minimal, it’s indie, but Our Happy Place is a noteworthy thriller with its fair share of surprises.
Posted Dec 29, 2025  Edit critic review
6/10
Man Finds Tape (2025) Sharai Bohannon It’s a very promising directorial debut from Paul Gandersman and Peter S. Hall that rewards the audience for committing to the journey. The duo created a complex little nesting doll that leaves viewers chasing one mystery into another.
Posted Dec 02, 2025  Edit critic review
7/10
Everyone Asked About You (2025) Norman Gidney Both a celebration and condemnation of the Hollywood ecosystem. It is ugly, beautiful, honest, and misleading. That's showbiz baby.
Posted Nov 17, 2025  Edit critic review
4/10
Predator: Badlands (2025) Sharai Bohannon 'Predator: Badlands' does not reinvent the wheel. Most people will probably have a good time with it. Especially people who dig low-stakes action, big CGI battles, and being immersed in futuristic sci-fi worlds.

6/10
The Carpenter's Son (2025) Norman Gidney I give writer-director Nathan full credit for the what is overall a handsome film, but it struggles to summon real, unpredictable tension.
Posted Nov 15, 2025  Edit critic review
7/10
Dead Giveaway (2025) Norman Gidney A breezy, bloody, farce that is well written, paced at a clip, and over before you have time to overthink it.
Posted Nov 02, 2025  Edit critic review
5/10
Intruder (2025) Norman Gidney An entertaining, if wildly scattered movie that builds to a climax only to leave us lost in space.

7/10
The Offing (2025) Norman Gidney Writing-directing duo Koko Crozier and Lily Lunder tell a surprisingly insightful tale of the connection between past trauma and how it shapes the future.
Posted Oct 25, 2025  Edit critic review
4/10
Monsters Within (2025) Norman Gidney A boring collection of predictable scenes that offers nothing new.
Posted Oct 23, 2025  Edit critic review
7/10
Protein (2024) Norman Gidney At once a grisly serial killer movie, an engrossing procedural, and a comical crime farce. The pieces don’t exactly come together like they should but it’s still a fun watch.

6/10
The Reunion (2024) Norman Gidney A beautifully produced drama with strong performances that is ultimately, well, mysterious.
Posted Oct 21, 2025  Edit critic review
7/10
The Vile (2025) Norman Gidney A slow burn look at the horrors of family and the constant fear of no longer being needed.

Dolly (2025) Norman Gidney Rod Blackhurst and Brandon Weavil have boiled down the bitter elements to pay respects to the cruel, unhinged movies that tapped into our fears.

6/10
Bad Things (2024) Norman Gidney While the movie runs a bit long, and there might be a few too many characters vying for screen time, this is a worthy addition to the sci-fi-horror-in-the-woods cannon.
Posted Sep 19, 2025  Edit critic review
4/10
Devil's Punchbowl: Aftermath (2025) Norman Gidney What could have been an exciting evolution of the slasher genre becomes a bloated and agonizingly slow “thriller.”
Posted Sep 11, 2025  Edit critic review
6/10
Sugarcane (2025) Norman Gidney Directors Baker and Darryl Postley Jr. keep things in a very ‘Silence of the Lambs’ vibe while dipping into ‘Hostel’ and ‘I Spit on your Grave’ territory for sure. They even deliver an iconic villain complete with a creepy bunny mask.

The Long Walk (2025) Norman Gidney A brutal tale of endurance, friendship, and loyalty that tries to straddle the fence between the early life lessons from the novel and the graphic violence that would satisfy horror fans.

6/10
Just One Drink (2015) Norman Gidney De Burgh’s affinity for creating powerful female leads is on display again here and, while not perfect, it is admirable.
Posted Sep 01, 2025  Edit critic review
7/10
Et Tu (2023) Norman Gidney A love letter to anyone that has survived live theatre from either side of the curtain mixed with a psycho-thriller mystery constructed to keep you guessing to the last.

Don't Log Off (2025) Norman Gidney What could have fallen into the abyss of found footage faux pas is saved by a lively ensemble, sharp direction, and disciplined writing.

Eddington (2025) Norman Gidney With Eddington, Aster lands squarely in the crime-thriller genre to deliver his best script since Hereditary and the affirmation that he is a filmmaker of formidable talent, depth, and savage wit.

Bring Her Back (2025) Norman Gidney With Bring Her Back, Danny and Michael Philippou show that they have a taste for the unsettling and an understanding of the utility of Horror.

Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) Norman Gidney Death finds new life in Final Destination: Bloodlines.

Call of the Void (2025) Norman Gidney With scenes that wander and straggle from the path instead of leaning into the isolation and paranoia, this thriller is only so-so.

7/10
Vulcanizadora (2024) Norman Gidney What is our life if not acknowledged in some way by others? VULCANIZADORA explores this idea but serves it with a caustic understanding of the sometimes desperate behavior of humans.

Rosario (2025) Norman Gidney Rosario is a nasty, inventive little piece of supernatural fun with a healthy dose of gore.

Red Night at Skye's (2024) Norman Gidney A muddled, melodramatic, if admirable, mess.
Posted Apr 16, 2025  Edit critic review
8/10
Drop (2025) Norman Gidney The story leans into the invasive nature of modern devices, turning it into a weapon as frightening as a butcher knife in the hands of a slasher.
Posted Apr 11, 2025  Edit critic review
7/10
Gazer (2024) Norman Gidney GAZER is a rich visual feast that toys with the mind in the most perplexing and fiendish ways. The movie's brooding almost unnecessarily measured pace, however, weighs things down a bit.

8/10
Párvulos: Children of the Apocalypse (2024) Norman Gidney By infusing a fresh point of view and throwing in a few secret ingredients PÁRVULOS finds a new way to remind us why zombie movies, and more importantly Horror, is such an effective genre.
Posted Apr 06, 2025  Edit critic review
5/10
The Shrouds (2024) Norman Gidney The Shrouds is a two hour therapy session for one of cinema’s most important and iconic filmmakers. It is a film that lays bare Cronenberg’s weaknesses and strengths.
Posted Apr 06, 2025  Edit critic review
6/10
Freaky Tales (2024) Norman Gidney Writer director duo Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck flex a strong talent for storytelling. However the film lacks the bravado with its various Freaky Tales to connect the pieces into a unified whole.
Posted Apr 01, 2025  Edit critic review
7/10
I See the Demon (2025) Norman Gidney Atmospheric, foreboding, painfully haunting, and ultimately rewarding.

Popeye the Slayer Man (2025) Norman Gidney It’s hokey, it’s goofy, but darn-it, he is what he is.
Posted Mar 21, 2025  Edit critic review
5/10
Culprit (2025) Norman Gidney Culprit aspires to weave a sordid tale of small-town intrigue and secrets long buried. Sadly, it is so preoccupied with constructing an impenetrable mystery that the audience is essentially cheated.
