The Monkey (2025) 79% “The Monkey is gob-stoppingly hilarious to behold and filled with existential thoughts about life and death. Even though The Monkey is brimming with bloody carnage and festive annihilation, it struck me as a very personal film.” – Santa Monica Mirror Apr 10, 2025 Full Review A Working Man (2025) 49% “A Working Man is exactly what its name implies: meat and potatoes vigilante action, nothing too fancy, but a good meal just the same.” – Santa Monica Mirror Apr 10, 2025 Full Review The First Omen (2024) 83% “The First Omen is a serpentine dance with evil and the demonology of power. Complex and filled with fright, it confronts the horror of trusting in those who claim to love you. It succeeds in giving The Omen franchise a new reason to exist.” – Dolores Quintana Jan 1, 2025 Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% “Civil War is filled with the terrible mayhem of war brought home to the United States. Brilliantly conceived, it shoots a barrage of ideas straight towards your brain and assaults your senses with sound and furious urgency. Will you listen?” – Dolores Quintana Jan 1, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% “Emotional carnage, steadfast courage, and villainy among stark white Italian marble and the fields of Philadelphia create an ambitious and extraordinary canvas of the human soul in Brady Corbet and Mona Fastvold’s film, The Brutalist.” – Santa Monica Mirror Jan 1, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% “Claws encased in a velvet glove. The audience helplessly feels Death’s wings enveloping the characters. Robert Egger’s newest film Nosferatu is a commanding sensual seduction drawing us into evil’s embrace” – Santa Monica Mirror Jan 1, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% “Wicked is magical. It forgoes the artificial spectacle of certain other fantasy tales by concentrating on the acting: emotions and relationships of the characters, then layering everything else on top” – Santa Monica Mirror Jan 1, 2025 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% “Venom: The Last Dance was very enjoyable and kind of sweet for a movie where a monster eats people’s heads. Basically, the movie is grounded in human emotion and characterization rather than spectacle which is why it is successful for me.” – Santa Monica Mirror Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% “Anora is the fragile human soul wrapped in a Russian sable, suffused with hope that can roar into blinding rage. ” – Santa Monica Mirror Nov 11, 2024 Full Review The Platform 2 (2024) 35% “The Platform 2 is an unflinchingly ugly and beautiful depiction of humanity at its best and worst, showing our capacity for rage and violence as well as our potential for love, forgiveness, and understanding. ” – Santa Monica Mirror Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Harold and the Purple Crayon (2024) 27% “Harold and the Purple Crayon is a joyous celebration of art and love that is kept from being sublime only by the performance of its lead actor. The supporting cast does wonderful and amusing work that would have been better served by a stronger lead. ” – Santa Monica Mirror Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is beautiful madness and pure cinematic bliss—epic storytelling packed with fiery mayhem and so much more. ” – Santa Monica Mirror Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Strange Darling (2023) 96% “Strange Darling is filled with shocks, surprises, humor, and a deep understanding and sympathy for humanity, including the human that would usually be considered the villain. It is a beautiful and ethereal ode to humanity and the roots of human evil.” – Santa Monica Mirror Nov 11, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% “The Substance is one of 2024’s best films, both a cinematic dream and nightmare, that pushes the envelope way beyond the norm, and glories in its own audacity... a breathtaking and sumptuous work of art that screams in your face while blowing you a kiss.” – Santa Monica Mirror Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% “Hauntingly heartwarming and frightfully funny, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a goth valentine to the terror of the living. ” – Santa Monica Mirror Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Longlegs (2024) 86% “Longlegs is a mesmerizing serial killer tale that swallows the viewer whole. The feeling of being inside the head of a serial killer or an intense FBI agent has never been so enrapturing and seductive. ” – Santa Monica Mirror Jun 18, 2024 Full Review DIG! XX (2024) 100% “DIG! XX is magnificent and fiery, an artistic telling of a story that is frequently misunderstood because of our society’s tendency to put a premium on obedience rather than free will, even in art.” – Santa Monica Mirror Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Arcadian (2024) 78% “With beautiful imagery, scary monsters, and strong performances, Arcadian is a winner as an individualistic kind of humanistic horror film that leans into the relationships between the survivors and their quirks rather than huge amounts of gore.” – Santa Monica Mirror Apr 24, 2024 Full Review It's What's Inside (2024) 79% “The film is witty and vicious, with a crackerjack premise that I would liken to a 21st-century CLUE. ” – Creepy Kingdom Apr 24, 2024 Full Review The Moogai (2024) 44% “THE MOOGAI is about the ghosts of the past, a reckoning with that past, and the pain it caused generations of Aboriginal people. It is an emotionally captivating and culturally relevant horror film with powerhouse performances. ” – Creepy Kingdom Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Handling the Undead (2024) 75% “Emotionally vivid, relentless, and shocking, HANDLING THE UNDEAD treads new territory for zombie horror. Profoundly emotional and so very human, it brought me to tears.” – Creepy Kingdom Apr 24, 2024 Full Review I Saw the 온라인카지노추천 Glow (2024) 84% “I SAW THE 온라인카지노추천 GLOW is a dreamy yet horror-tinged examination of the LGBTQ, specifically trans, experience that is something that nearly any ostracized teen or adult can relate to. ” – Creepy Kingdom Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Your Monster (2024) 77% “YOUR MONSTER is the story of an actress who is too nice for her own good but finds her strength through friendship. Hilarious and charming, this Beauty and the Beast of Broadway rips the heart out of bad relationships” – Creepy Kingdom Apr 24, 2024 Full Review In a Violent Nature (2024) 78% “IN A VIOLENT NATURE is the slasher you have been waiting for—enthralling, innovative, with a sense of humor, and possessing an aura of the grave. ” – Creepy Kingdom Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Love Lies Bleeding (2024) 94% “ The strength of the film lies in the emotional resonance and vulnerability between the two leads that you almost feel ashamed to be watching how deep and raw it really is. ” – Creepy Kingdom Apr 24, 2024 Full Review
