“Sissy” is a really fun, subversive slasher that is packed with dark comedy, brutal kills, and some clever commentary on influencer culture

“Deadstream” is a revitalizing entry into a tired genre, blending internet personalities with good old fashioned found footage horror.
“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.
Structured like an old black and white horror movie, “Werewolf By Night” is the perfect morsel to introduce Jack Russel to the MCU.
“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
