Together (2025)
100%
5/5
“Rare is the film that can capture the brutal honesty of our most intimate relationships with such clarity, let alone one that successfully balances searing humor with distinct existential dread.” –

Death of a Unicorn (2025)
54%
3/5
“In terms of sociopolitical horror comedies, you could do much better (Get Out) or worse (Don't Look Up) than director Alex Scharfman's feature debut, a fine way to spend an hour and 44 minutes.” –

3.5/5
“The latest installment in the found-footage horror series is V/H/S/Beyond, a collection of segments based on aliens and featuring some of the franchise's best and gnarliest special effects to date.” –

The Apprentice (2024)

4/5
“Around the halfway point, The Apprentice takes a jarring turn and transitions from a darkly comedic character study into a deeply unsettling horror film.” –

Mr. Crocket (2024)

3/5
“Set in 1993, with a VHS aesthetic and gory practical effects to match, Mr. Crocket spins millennial nostalgia into a perfectly passable supernatural parable.” –

Ick (2024)

3.5/5
“There's never a dull moment in Ick, which modernizes a classic premise before sticking it in a time machine and sending it back to 2006.” –

Anora (2024)
93%
5/5
“Baker's most entertaining film to date, Anora is the sort of intoxicating character study that the filmmaker has become known for – a riveting slice of life on the margins of society with John Cassavetes' DNA coursing through its veins.” –

Thanksgiving (2023)
84%
“Slightly overcooked and would benefit from a trim... Still, it’s hard to criticize Roth too harshly for what is ultimately the kind of movie we need more of: perfectly enjoyable, mid-budget horror films with simple hooks and solid splatter.” –

Saw X (2023)
81%
“It has everything you want from a solid Saw sequel: brilliant and brutal traps, a game involving multiple players, and a deep resentment of the capitalist machinery that keeps us simultaneously oppressed by and dependent upon the turning of its wheels.” –

Saltburn (2023)

“Saltburn isn’t content with merely eating the rich. It wants to salivate on them like a fly readying its meal; it devours them slowly, savoring every tender morsel. ” –

Strange Darling (2023)

“Strange Darling is one hell of a thrill ride. Mollner’s script is sharp and systematic, bolstered by a breathtaking performance from Fitzgerald, who absolutely tears into the role -- all the way down to the gristle and marrow. ” –

The Toxic Avenger (2023)
92%
“The Toxic Avenger is exactly as advertised. It does what it says on the tin. It’s comically violent, absurdly gory, and extremely silly. But it’s also a timely “eat the rich” story infused with an earnest working class perspective.” –

The Invisible Man (2020)
91%
“To say The Invisible Man is satisfying seems inadequate; there's something glorious about the film's conclusion, which may feel to some men every bit as horrific as the implications of Florence Pugh's facial expression in the final shot of Midsommar.” –

The Golden Glove (2019)

“Grotesque as it is, The Golden Glove is a profound exploration of the ease with which depravity is bred and nurtured in the carcinogenic, sticky corners inhabited by indigent people - and women in particular - who have aged out of our concern.” –
