Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025) 17% “Tomorrow is a cult film in the making that works not only as a piece of transgressive art, but as an artist leaving behind his hard partying persona and looking to the future. ” – Cinapse May 15, 2025 Full Review Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) 94% “Final Destination: Bloodlines is easily the best film to come out of the franchise and that’s not an easy statement from a longtime fan, but it’s well deserved.” – Cinapse May 14, 2025 Full Review Havoc (2025) 67% “Havoc is a visceral, powder keg of a film whose emotional gut punches hit as hard as its action.” – Cinapse Apr 29, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% “Thunderbolts* is a great mix of super hero action and soul searching drama that really manages to tug at your heartstrings, as we get to see all these fan favorites finally step from the darkness into the light.” – Cinapse Apr 29, 2025 Full Review The Shrouds (2024) 76% “If you told me one of the most moving films I would see in 2025 would be by David Cronenberg, I probably wouldn’t have believed you.But The Shrouds is the director at his most vulnerable, using the tropes of his filmography to explore these hefty concepts” – Cinapse Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 39% “I’m not even sure most of the film’s preteen core demographic or their parents even care about anything other than, will this film deliver the nostalgic hit of dopamine and a mild distraction in these troubled times and it most definitely will. ” – Cinapse Mar 23, 2025 Full Review Clown in a Cornfield (2025) 73% “Simply stated Clown in Cornfield is a blood soaked blast! The film thankfully leaves behind the nihilism of the other clown franchise to use its runtime to explore generational trauma and the hopelessness of small town life through the slasher lens. ” – Cinapse Mar 10, 2025 Full Review O'Dessa (2025) 39% “O’Dessa feels like a mashup of The Apple and Six String Samurai, with some Teen Spirit thrown in for good measure. That said, I will say what the film lacks in originality, it more than makes up for it in its approach to world building and the diversity” – Cinapse Mar 9, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 78% “The Monkey is an instant horror classic, fueled by some very real trauma that manifests itself in one of the most entertaining absurdist horror films of the last few years. ” – Cinapse Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Serious People (2025) 70% “So while the film definitely is this entertaining and somewhat wholesome story of a father willing to go to some truly insane lengths to be there for the birth of his child – it also might be the first diss film on record. ” – Cinapse Feb 3, 2025 Full Review The Dating Game (2025) 67% “The film is as much about the effects of the Policy and the hapless men forced to deal with its fallout as it is about the gender gap and about the ideologies and beliefs fueling it, which is not just a Chinese problem.” – Cinapse Feb 1, 2025 Full Review East of Wall (2025) 100% “East of Wall is a stirring glimpse of the American spirit and its relentless perseverance in troubled times. ” – Cinapse Feb 1, 2025 Full Review Omaha (2025) 88% “ It’s a devastatingly stirring portrait of not only poverty and the unforgiving nature of living paycheck to paycheck in our great country, but the pressures of fatherhood and what’s possible in the complete absence of hope. ” – Cinapse Jan 30, 2025 Full Review By Design (2025) 71% “By Design is daring and profound in its indictment of how women are objectified and to be honest I am never going to look at a chair the same way again. ” – Cinapse Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Touch Me (2025) 91% “Touch Me is a live action mumblecore hentai, and I mean that with the utmost respect - as a lifelong anime fan.” – Cinapse Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Bystanders (2024) “Bystanders is a brutal and refreshingly feminist take on the rape/revenge sub-genre, that shows a complete grasp of how these films need to work, while updating the formula for a new generation. ” – Cinapse Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 49% “The film itself attempts to look at generational trauma through the guise of a werewolf narrative, but it does so with the subtlety of a jackhammer. ” – Cinapse Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% “a completely flawless adaptation of the source, that is immaculately cast and will no doubt go on to be a classic, but it’s that subtext that really calls back to the original intent of the show as a little bit of magic for those who are “different”” – Cinapse Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Devon (2024) “"a hell of a lot of fun"” – Cinapse Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% “Awards hype aside, the film is indeed hilarious and easily one of Baker’s best, but like Red Rocket the super explicit vibe is going to alienate a good chunk of viewers, primarily non film bros. ” – Cinapse Nov 5, 2024 Full Review The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (2024) 92% “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is a new holiday classic, and I don’t say that lightly! It’s a charming new rendition of the original source, that’s here to remind us just what made the original story so special.” – Cinapse Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Smile 2 (2024) 86% “Smile 2 was an unexpected surprise. Director Parker Finn really tried to do something unique with the material and it paid off. Not all protagonists have to be sympathetic and sometimes it’s really fun to watch terrible things happen to horrible people” – Cinapse Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Frankie Freako (2024) 87% “As a rabid fan of these films, I’ve been very excited to see what Kostanski’s take would be, and its part update and part homage, that feels like the kind of film you’d watch at a pizza party sleepover in the 90s. ” – Cinapse Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Gazer (2024) 78% “Ryan J Sloan effectively leverages a well honed and measured narrative, along with every tool on his belt as a director to craft a world captured on celluloid that feels real as it does dangerous.” – Cinapse Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Strange Harvest (2024) 94% “The film stumbles through an underdeveloped mystery, with flourishes of distracting AI generated images and a lack of attention to detail, which can make or break the suspension of disbelief with period pieces.” – Cinapse Sep 27, 2024 Full Review
