Rating Title | Year Author Quote
No Other Choice (2025) Keri O'Shea ‘Be careful what you wish for’ seems to be the only clear lesson in an otherwise murky, often hilarious, often horrifying piece of narrative film where you end up risking everything to gain back a fraction of what you had.

Grizzly Night (2026) Keri O'Shea How is director Burke Doeren’s debut feature film meant to be read? – Horror, exploitation, or plausible drama? The answer to that question is a while in coming, and when it’s finally clear, it comes with several issues.
Posted Jan 26, 2026  Edit critic review
Infirmary (2026) Keri O'Shea There's as much human drama in Infirmary as anything more overtly horror-related, but the two are definitely wedded together.

C-
Relentless (2025) Keri O'Shea If nothing else, it’s crystal clear that Relentless takes place in a deeply-fractured America, somewhere riven with the pain of being anonymous.

The Housemaid (2025) Keri O'Shea The Housemaid paints in very broad strokes...however, if you wait it out, it gets into a much more horror-adjacent, nasty phase which feels like a decent payoff for all the waiting around and second-guessing where it's all going.
Posted Jan 02, 2026  Edit critic review
Hell of a Summer (2023) Keri O'Shea Perhaps the problem here is that Hell of a Summer is more of an homage to homages, than it is a fresh, bold slasher flick.

Together (2025) Keri O'Shea If things feel gallingly defeatist in key aspects – the ultimate sunk cost fallacy – then regardless, Together‘s detail-heavy body horror does its best work when it focuses on the minutiae.

The Monkey (2025) Keri O'Shea The Monkey is far more pleased with itself than it has any business being.
Posted Dec 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Dracula (2025) Keri O'Shea It has its diverting moments, but this isn’t a great entrant into the vampire genre and on the whole it’s far more Argento than Coppola, which in this case is not intended as a compliment.

C
Haunters of the Silence (2025) Keri O'Shea It’s a film which does what it sets out to do very smoothly and with some undeniable ingenuity. It’s more immersive than informative, and will be best admired by viewers who are okay with that.

B-
The Running Man (2025) Keri O'Shea The film cycles through pursuit, paranoia and violence in turns, leading into a finale which feels like a good payoff even if – and this is a key criticism – it can’t quite trust itself to just tell the original tale.

C+
The Invisible Half (2025) Keri O'Shea The fact that The Invisible Half took six years to make perhaps at least partly accounts for some of its more disjointed qualities, but Nishiyama’s raft of ideas for tech horror hold fast.
Posted Nov 17, 2025  Edit critic review
Reflection in a Dead Diamond (2025) Keri O'Shea Reflection in a Dead Diamond is another sumptuous but tedious melee of femmes fatales, funky macros and might-be symbolism.
Posted Nov 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Dangerous Animals (2025) Keri O'Shea Do you know what is great? The sharks here are…just sharks. They’re not genetically-modified sharks, surprise megalodons or inexplicably smart, vengeful sharks.
Posted Nov 15, 2025  Edit critic review
Good Boy (2025) Keri O'Shea Good Boy is a quietly creepy tale with a genuinely involving and emotionally affecting central premise, and it’s that which really sets it apart from similar films, particularly by the end.
Posted Nov 09, 2025  Edit critic review
Confession (2024) Keri O'Shea The film’s economical runtime (just over seventy minutes) excuses some of the film’s weaker elements, keeping things taught and focused enough to shine.
Posted Nov 02, 2025  Edit critic review
Frankenstein (2025) Keri O'Shea Frankenstein allows its key elements the time and space to flourish, but it stays focused on the tale itself, offering up a sumptuous, assured piece of period Gothic, aware of its place in a long legacy, but equally clear on what it wants to achieve.
Posted Nov 01, 2025  Edit critic review
Alpha (2025) Keri O'Shea It’s imaginative, provocative stuff, and if it eschews narrative conventions just too much for some audiences, then so be it.
Posted Oct 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Deathstalker (2025) Keri O'Shea It doesn’t take itself too seriously, because if it did, it would dash the fairly jovial, self-deprecating atmosphere which is there in spades from the very beginning.
Posted Oct 29, 2025  Edit critic review
We Bury the Dead (2024) Keri O'Shea We Bury the Dead is a well-paced progression through personal and international disasters, carefully piecing together just a couple of the sad stories which you just know are here, against a backdrop of something still barely understood and dreadful.
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
Head Like a Hole (2024) Keri O'Shea Things get steadily darker and more absurd as the film progresses, but there’s a wealth of sensitivity in amongst the madness here, offering a lowkey horror/sci-fi with a snappy existential twist.
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
Frankie, Maniac Woman (2025) Keri O'Shea This isn't a film which paints in fine strokes, but then nor is the world it's critiquing (at least in its incarnation here), so its big, bold, visually-ambitious display has an irreverent charm of its own.
Posted Oct 12, 2025  Edit critic review
The Ugly Stepsister (2025) Keri O'Shea The film feels like a Brothers Grimm (or Charles Perrault) mash-up with The Substance, this time for younger women, all reflected in the distorting mirror of a well-known fairy story – sometimes inventively, but sometimes very faithfully.
Posted Oct 05, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Scurry (2024) Keri O'Shea Fans willing to overlook a few things for the sake of a new film in their genre of choice will find enough here to entertain them, even if it’s unlikely to convert new viewers to the joys of subterranean sci-fi all by itself.
Posted Oct 04, 2025  Edit critic review
The Severed Sun (2024) Keri O'Shea The narrative gaps provide space for interpretation; the light touch itself feels very purposeful, allowing the story to develop and meander into interesting places. All told, The Severed Sun is a beautiful, raw, singular piece of cinema.
Posted Oct 03, 2025  Edit critic review
Coyotes (2025) Keri O'Shea The film on the whole is a quirky, grisly tale of improbable perils.
Posted Sep 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Ash (2025) Keri O'Shea Ash is, for the most part, as much about thoughts, impressions and experiences as it is a conventional piece of narrative film. It comes in like a space-age fever dream, all body horror and blaring noise.
Posted Sep 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Traumatika (2024) Keri O'Shea Whilst Traumatika is sometimes cluttered, sometimes a little free-falling, it’s only occasional, and it’s hard to deny Tsigaridis’s zeal and affection for the horror genre.
Posted Sep 13, 2025  Edit critic review
The Balconettes (2024) Keri O'Shea For all of the genre-straddling goings-on, which will almost certainly make it harder for this film to find a large and receptive audience, there’s enough bizarre energy and ambition here to make The Balconettes oddly, dementedly appealing.
Posted Aug 31, 2025  Edit critic review
Your Host (2025) Keri O'Shea Feeling nostalgic for the torture horror wave of the Noughties yet? If you are, then Your Host (2025) has got you covered.
Posted Aug 24, 2025  Edit critic review
Weapons (2025) Keri O'Shea There are worthy payoffs for the film’s puzzles, offering a crowd-pleasing balance of suspense and high action. Above all else, this film is a lot of fun.

D
Foreigner (2025) Keri O'Shea Fans of bubblegum horror may find enough to respect and commend here, even if some audiences might want more complex social commentary, some more overt humour, and others might want more heft behind the eventual horror.
Posted Aug 01, 2025  Edit critic review
Hellcat (2025) Keri O'Shea With its shifting sympathies and its nightmarish repurposing of liminal Americana, this is a carefully-plotted, economical and gripping tale.
Posted Jul 26, 2025  Edit critic review
Fucktoys (2025) Keri O'Shea Even though F*cktoys has an undeniably dark subtext, with its more overt darkness steadily starting to seep through as the runtime extends, much of the film feels almost impossibly warm and vibrant, despite all this.
Posted Jul 23, 2025  Edit critic review
The Devil's Rejects (2005) Keri O'Shea A cinematic universe and characters created by a ‘B’ movie cineaste, and played by people who clearly loved and respected what had been given to them – it’s rare you feel that so abundantly as you do here.
Posted Jul 22, 2025  Edit critic review
The Shrouds (2024) Keri O'Shea This is a deeply frustrating film. A charitable take on this would be that it’s all deliberate, because grief itself is unending, but I’m not too sure.
Posted Jul 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Terrestrial (2025) Keri O'Shea An exhilarating, tangled web of deception, double-crossing and questioning [...] Go in with as few preconceptions as possible, and just allow this creative, humane, modern moral tale to do its thing.

C
ZombieCON Vol. 1 (2024) Keri O'Shea Whilst this film isn’t quite the big zombie comeback the world wants and needs, it is a likeable and aspiring indie film and it’s highly likely that its cosplayer subject matter will make it particularly interesting to that element of the demographic.
Posted Jul 17, 2025  Edit critic review
Hold the Fort (2025) Keri O'Shea A nicely entertaining piece of splatstick horror-comedy which the cast and crew must have loved making.
Posted Jul 17, 2025  Edit critic review
Cara (2024) Keri O'Shea Cara leaves you with a sense of deep unease, and it sticks around, too, kicking up the odd moment of crushing realisation, or the answer to a question you wish you’d never asked.
Posted Jul 07, 2025  Edit critic review
Pins and Needles (2024) Keri O'Shea This is one sharp, economical horror, great at sustaining tension and a genuine pleasure (?) to watch.
Posted Jul 04, 2025  Edit critic review
Ba (2024) Keri O'Shea Ba is a supernatural tale, sure, but it works as well as it does because of the loving – if damaged – family at its heart.
Posted Jun 28, 2025  Edit critic review
28 Years Later (2025) Keri O'Shea The resulting new film is an awkward and painfully unaware montage of some of the good bits from 28 Days Later, unconvincingly strung together with a silly, half-realised story unworthy of the excellent actors who signed up to be in it.
Posted Jun 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Row (2025) Keri O'Shea It’s a strange blend of enthusiasm and a rather diffuse style of storytelling (see: two hour runtime) which can’t quite ring true, despite some skilled shooting and visuals.
Posted Jun 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Our Happy Place (2024) Keri O'Shea Maybe there’s a little fracturing of the storyline right at the end, but it’s absolutely not enough to do real harm to this well made, well edited and thoughtful introspective horror.
Posted Jun 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Future Date (2024) Keri O'Shea Future Date is the previously unthinkable: a vibrant, dystopian meet cute which has heart and humour.

C
Restless (2024) Keri O'Shea There are some issues with Restless, but its lead actress is never in doubt, and one of its key strengths lies in showing just how quickly a lack of sleep can erode your sanity.
Posted May 25, 2025  Edit critic review
Birdeater (2023) Keri O'Shea The protracted feel to the film, in terms of how long we hang around at the shoulders of these people as they do precisely nothing, provides a sense that we may never get anywhere, and honestly, that is exactly what comes to pass.
Posted May 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Vulcanizadora (2024) Keri O'Shea Ultimately, this film is a tragedy about being overlooked – how it feels to never get the hang of living in a world which judges you, using criteria you never agreed.
Posted May 04, 2025  Edit critic review
Four Flies on Grey Velvet (1971) Keri O'Shea You can easily argue that giallo – on the whole – is inherently reactionary, a horror fantasy of what happens when old forces and values bloodily reassert themselves against those who err.
