Heart Eyes (2025) 81% 8/10 “A fun and breezy good time, maniacally twirling at the crossroads of slasher and rom-com.” – Exclaim! Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% 7/10 “A visual masterpiece and a worthy successor to Murnau's legacy,” – Exclaim! Jan 8, 2025 Full Review Gülizar (2024) 8/10 “A masterfully crafted debut, Gülizar is unafraid to look you in the eye as it asks you to limn the contours of hope itself. ” – Film Daze Nov 18, 2024 Full Review We Live in Time (2024) 79% 6/10 “As it is framed as a story about a couple, 'We Live in Time' is an uneven endeavor that feels as though it’s a gender-swapped take on 'A Walk to Remember.'” – Film Daze Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Santosh (2024) 100% 9/10 “Santosh’s brilliance is that it makes us feel culpable — it first has us feel persuaded by the easiness of prejudice, only to afterwards have us see that we have been beguiled.” – Film Daze Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 91% 7/10 “This film works as a jubilantly irreverent exploration of a new breed of villain, and as such, it does an injustice to the killer’s victims.” – Film Daze Nov 18, 2024 Full Review The Girl With the Needle (2024) 92% 8/10 “The Girl with the Needle is a lush playground of and for monstrous women, celebrating them by allowing them to roam audaciously, to become little insatiate horrors as they do what feels right, even if for a moment.” – Film Daze Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Thirst (2009) 81% 4/5 “In turn beautiful and repugnant, saintly and devilish, Thirst is a feast, a ball, an extravaganza of bodies, blood, and life; but it takes its time in getting to it, in the way that we take our time in getting sick.” – The Asian Cut Oct 8, 2024 Full Review Strange Darling (2023) 96% 8/10 “A presence so captivating it's impossible to look away.” – Exclaim! Aug 29, 2024 Full Review The Crow (2024) 21% 2/10 “They carry all the emotional heft of a reading of the grocery list.” – Exclaim! Aug 29, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 72% 5/10 “MaXXXine isn't subversive or exciting like an exploitation film — it's just pretending to be one.” – Exclaim! Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Anyone But You (2023) 54% 5/10 “There's something hollow about Anyone but You.” – Exclaim! May 9, 2024 Full Review In Flames (2023) 95% 7/10 “It wasn't until In Flames that I felt less shame in my loneliness.” – Exclaim! May 9, 2024 Full Review The Deep Dark (2023) 100% 8/10 “The Deep Dark is sweeping and of a historical breadth, a film that is at once breathlessly engrossing and terrifyingly patient.” – Film Daze Dec 7, 2023 Full Review Late Night with the Devil (2023) 97% 9/10 “The Cairnes have created an endlessly intriguing and beguiling gem of a film that not only is a hauntingly joyous watch, but also is a cerebral exercise leaving us with much to think about in our roles as consumers of media.” – Film Daze Dec 7, 2023 Full Review Thanksgiving (2023) 84% 8/10 “Just as overwrought as the short, Thanksgiving is a love letter to slashers like Scream and Roth's own Hostel series — which sounds cliché, and that's the point.” – Exclaim! Nov 22, 2023 Full Review The Exorcist: Believer (2023) 22% 1/10 “About as circumstantial as a used Band-Aid stuck to the floor of a public pool.” – Exclaim! Oct 12, 2023 Full Review The Becomers (2023) 94% 8/10 “A vibrant comedy, The Becomers is a revelation and gift not only for its depiction of the power of love, that it can abide through and survive world shattering tragedy, but also because it offers us hope in this love, that it exists at all. ” – Film Daze Sep 10, 2023 Full Review New Life (2023) 94% 9/10 “This film is not only a successful thriller, it’s also unforgettable and damning, and more than anything, it’s deeply, profoundly human.” – Film Daze Sep 10, 2023 Full Review Booger (2024) 96% 8/10 “Booger is captivating and incisive for its understanding of the prickliness of grief, and for its understanding of Glowicki. The film allows Glowicki to shine, and Glowicki handles this character with the utmost respect.” – Film Daze Sep 10, 2023 Full Review Knocking (2021) 80% 7/10 “Heat is powerful and rich, Kempff seems to say in this thriller, turning it into a veritable monster: a looming, suffocating, ever-present terror that makes protagonist Molly (Çecilia Milocco) lose an already-lost mind.” – Exclaim! Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Portraits From A Fire (2020) 100% 8/10 “Portraits from a Fire is a film that delivers not only a moving story but also a visual feast, bringing the act of remembering, and all the pain it unearths, to life in a way that few filmmakers have done.” – Exclaim! Aug 15, 2023 Full Review The Advent Calendar (2020) 80% 7/10 “Endlessly interesting in the way that only allegorical tales can be, Ridremond and Derouand give us a holiday fright flirting with madness and sacrifice, alluringly asking us the lengths to which we might go to to find happiness.” – Exclaim! Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Definition Please (2020) 95% 7/10 “Finding humour in intergenerational trauma, Definition Please brilliantly redefines how the South Asian American experience is portrayed onscreen.” – Exclaim! Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Huesera: The Bone Woman (2022) 97% 9/10 “This is stunning, crawling body horror that understands that physical contortions and breaks in bones and faceless doubles in swift pursuit carry the meaningful, not to mention foreboding as a toothache, heft no belaboring dialogue can.” – Film Daze Aug 9, 2023 Full Review
