The Ugly Stepsister (2025) 96% 4/5 “The Ugly Stepsister is rich and uncompromising in its feminist vision [...] the film rips the facade of shallow morality apart and digs deep into the void of stomach-churning terror.” – High on Films Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Real Faces (2025) 4.5/5 “Buysse and Ocloo effortlessly slip into their respective roles, saying a lot without verbalizing. There’s a free-flowing element to this electric chemistry, like when you sit next to a stranger who ends up understanding you on a visceral level. ” – High on Films Mar 13, 2025 Full Review The Surrender (2025) 82% 4.5/5 “[Julia] Max weaves [the horror inherent in grief] into a messy, authentic tapestry. topping it off with grotesque, fantastical elements [...] The Surrender reinvents expectations circling such themes and remakes them into something truly terrifying.” – High on Films Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Trash Baby (2025) 4/5 “Esther Harrison is the beating heart of Trash Baby, rendering every perceptible micro-emotion of a confused, hopeful teenager to beautiful, heartbreaking effect. Esther’s Stevie captures these notions [about identity] with incredible, effortless nuance.” – High on Films Mar 9, 2025 Full Review Hacking at Leaves (2024) 4.5/5 “Hacking at Leaves nudges, rattles, and shatters the Overton window, and asks this seminal question: is hope a sentiment accessible to one and all, and how long must we placate ourselves with such facades before the tunnel caves in on top of us?” – High on Films Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Good Side of Bad (2023) 100% 3.5/5 “Good Side of Bad might not be flawless, especially when it comes to pacing and how the acts are structured, but the beating heart of [Alethea] Root’s feature rings loud and true, its conviction refusing to be dimmed.” – High on Films Dec 25, 2024 Full Review Solvent (2024) 94% 5/5 “The brilliance of Solvent rests on how deeply uncomfortable yet essential it is as a cinematic experience, daring to dive deeper into the turgid waters of wretched, poisonous ideology. ” – High on Films Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Growing Pains (2024) 2.5/5 “The authentic gravitas of [Growing Pains] is deeply undercut by the film’s feeble artistic core, where shoddy performances and a weak script majorly undermine an important story woven together from the perspective of a promising filmmaker. ” – High on Films Nov 18, 2024 Full Review The Soul Eater (2024) 80% 4.5/5 “A frightening, captivating journey that does not sugarcoat bitter truths or rely upon cheap scares to rattle us from within — The Soul Eater etches a disturbing picture of true evil, which lingers out in the open, undetected. ” – High on Films Jul 28, 2024 Full Review Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp (2024) 100% 3/5 “A niche spectacle, perhaps never meant for a more mainstream sensibility, stylistic ultraviolence and unconventional visual dynamism mold KIZUMONOGATARI: KOYOMI VAMP into something more pleasantly surreal.” – High on Films Jul 28, 2024 Full Review Carnage for Christmas (2024) 90% 4/5 “Carnage for Christmas is Mackay's most visually interesting work so far: although the story suffers from narrative overindulgence, the strong emotional subtext and artistic flairs make way for a smart, savvy whodunnit that leaves a deep impression.” – High on Films Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Faceless After Dark (2023) 75% 2.5/5 “Perhaps its hamartia is that it wishes to don too many masks, where only some aspects work at the expense of others, and Kanell’s raw, unhinged turn as Bowie is not enough to salvage the haphazard vision embedded forcefully into the narrative.” – High on Films May 20, 2024 Full Review Omen (2023) 86% 4.5/5 “Omen reflects the ever-evolving vignettes of prejudice-based ostracization via a specific socio-cultural lens, embracing its complexity like a well-tuned prism and scattering the refracted images of the lives that are and could have been.” – High on Films Mar 13, 2024 Full Review High Tide (2024) 100% 4/5 “Calvani lingers on the sweet gaze between the lovers when they bare their souls to one another...By the time High Tide inches towards its finish, its rocky unevenness feels leveled out, anchored by Pigossi who belts out an engrossing performance. ” – High on Films Mar 10, 2024 Full Review We Were Dangerous (2024) 96% 4/5 “Tells such a crucial, spirited tale...a powerful, bittersweet journey toward liberation is mapped without half-measures or compromise, where Josephine Stewart-Te Whiu’s debut trailblazes its way into unencumbered empowerment. ” – High on Films Mar 10, 2024 Full Review Natatorium (2024) 71% 3.5/5 “Stefánsdóttir’s feature is a promise of stories that situate horror at the hearth, where we often warm our feet and hold our loved ones close (who might choose this moment to snuff the air out of our lungs). ” – High on Films Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Mad Props (2024) 100% 2.5/5 “ A flawed, yet sincere offering for film lovers & enthusiasts, Mad Props lays the groundwork for much-needed appreciation for artists whose works deserve to be lauded and preserved, viewed through the hyper-specific lens of Hollywood-adjacent cinema. ” – High on Films Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba -To the Hashira Training- (2024) 88% 3/5 “To the Hashira Training remains a niche experience for those already acquainted with the ins and outs of this world, appealing solely to the thrill of an exclusive cinematic experience that might feel too alienating for new audiences or casual viewers. ” – High on Films Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Cobweb (2023) 74% 3/5 “Cobweb boasts some intriguing moments, but by the time the credits roll, we feel like we have emerged from an overly long labyrinthine dream, one we are most likely to forget the moment we wake up.” – High on Films Feb 12, 2024 Full Review This Is Your Song (2023) 4/5 “This Is Your Song captures the essence of a relationship on its last legs, broken beyond repair despite being submerged in passion, codependence, and adoration. Encapsulating this volatile sentiment via a continuous 97-minute shot is no easy feat.” – High on Films Nov 6, 2023 Full Review PSYCHO-PASS: Providence (2023) 90% “Psycho-Pass Providence compels you to ponder about state surveillance and broken moral codes enforced by the government and what it means to fight while still clinging on to the law. ” – High on Films Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) 91% “In essence, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a crowdpleaser in the best of ways, resuscitating overplayed tropes with the right amount of thrills, humor, and heart. ” – High on Films Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Sword Art Online the Movie: Progressive - Scherzo of Deep Night (2022) 42% “Once you have a grasp of the basic tenets that its world rests on, the awkwardness of the narrative structure is bound to exhaust even the most patient viewers. ” – High on Films Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead Rise (2023) 84% “Evil Dead Rise makes an already-solid horror franchise even stronger and introduces fresh, demented nightmares to the psyche. As the blood flows, the fun seems to have only begun. ” – High on Films Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Suzume (2022) 96% “Suzume weaves pathos with supernatural spectacle, the purest form of love with the messy spectrum of human emotions, and heartwarming humor with the most authentic, bittersweet homecoming. ” – High on Films Jul 24, 2023 Full Review
