“Speak No Evil” becomes a psychological earworm that transforms into unfettered brutality, the likes of which you probably aren’t ready for but were prepared to be caught off guard.

“Hellraiser” 2022 is a beautiful bordello of bloodletting, but lacks the human villainy, cohesion, pleasure, and horniness of its original.

“God’s Country” will most likely be a criminally underrated film, one that falls victim to its understated release and overlooked intensity underneath its slow burn unfolding.

“Bros” is hilarious and heartfelt, simultaneously satirizing the romcom tropes while leaning into them to be one of the best of its kind this year.

“Hocus Pocus 2” is as good as the original and whatever that means to you, you’re probably right.

“Smile” is one of the most unsettling, dare I say scariest films of the year, packed with legitimate scares that never lose impact even when you know they’re coming

“Famous” is a tried and true feel good story, one that uses music, redemption and friendship to conjure up good vibes all around.

You just can’t escape those damn, dirty apes! After the massive success of 20 Century Studios’ saga that began with the reboot “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” in 2011, a new chapter looks to be in the works! All three entries over the last decade, “Rise,” “Dawn,” and “War” were massive successes, both critically and at the box office, amassing a whopping $1.7 billion worldwide. So it shouldn’t be all that surprising that the studio is moving forward with another entry into the franchise. The new entry “Kingdom” begins production next month, and will be directed by Wes…

“Blonde” is as exploitative as the exploitation it depicts, and without nuance or actual care for its subject, you’re left to interpret the mean spirited nature yourself.

“The Munsters” is cringe in all the wrong ways, operating with no real ideas or story and as funny as a bad sitcom with all the laugh tracks deleted.
