While the story itself doesn't always work, there is horror to be found here.

Hilarious, dark, on-the-nose about modern dating woes, and also a nightmare.

Scream (2022)
Blood-soaked and brilliant, it speaks the language of the viewers that love it most. A worthy successor in a long line of horror royalty.

Nightmare Alley (2021)
Del Toro hides nothing from us in NIGHTMARE ALLEY, sometimes to his detriment. But his exploration of the fatal pitfalls of man's hubris is welcome.

3.5/5
What Roberts has created is a tense, contained horror-action film that pays homage to the original games but separates itself as its own exciting and terrifying entity.

Red Notice (2021)
Red Notice is uninspired, uninteresting, and unforgivably bland. Its only redeeming quality is its stars and, even then, their talents are underutilized

Double Walker (2021)
While DOUBLE WALKER isn't a perfect film, Colin West and Sylvie Mix give viewers plenty to dissect and digest after credits roll.

The Deep House (2021)
THE DEEP HOUSE offers a unique take on a well-trod tale but falters thanks to the common ailment of a thinly constructed plot.

The Manor (2021)
The mystery and discussion around elderly treatment by family and facilities ... make THE MANOR worth a view but only once given its predictability.

While I get the critique about social media popularity and how quickly throngs of sycophants can turn on those they admire, the film did not entertain.

Some scenes cause you to jump, but that's not enough to make [No One Gets Out Alive] great; just okay.

Black as Night (2021)
Although some parts fall flat, BLACK AS NIGHT highlights issues in the community through a spoopy, amusing story. And you can never go wrong with Keith David.

Under Wraps (2021)
It's a lot sillier and missing the emotional depth of the original, but the UNDER WRAPS remake is still a fun time, especially for the younger kids.

Bingo Hell (2021)
BINGO HELL is zany fun, with actors who are all in for whatever Guerrero throws at them. And the fun doesn't detract from the social commentary interwoven in here.

The Execution (2021)
Echoing the hallmarks of a classic Greek tragedy, THE EXECUTION is a strong feature debut from Lado Kvataniya, and a fascinating thriller to watch unfold.

8.5/10
The strongest MCU origin story to date, Simu Liu commands as Shang-Chi, bringing layered nuance to the role. Action sequences are tightly executed and draw the eye.

Baby, Don't Cry (2021)
BABY, DON'T CRY has a clear perspective and voice. It generates curiosity. It is raw. At times, disorienting. It won't be for everyone.

Bull (2021)
BULL is a grounded revenge thriller. Gruesome when necessary, but doesn't detract from the father's love for his son onscreen.
