Monster (2023) 96% 5/5 “Directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, the film is a puzzle narrative in the form of a triptych that constantly asks audiences to re-evaluate their understanding of characters in order to answer the question: "who is the monster?" A perfect gem of a film.” – The Queer Gaze (Podcast) May 15, 2025 Full Review A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014) 96% 3.5/5 “As a vampire film, it's slightly tepid, but this stylish black and white film is packed with rich thematic visuals and oozes style. ” – Horror Queers Podcast May 14, 2025 Full Review Countess Dracula (1970) 50% 3/5 “Pretty emblematic of Hammer: period sets, buxom ladies and boobs, and a dash of blood. Pitt is doing great work, though one wishes she had a smidge more agency. Overall, it's entertaining, but not great.” – Murder Made Fiction Podcast - Bloody Disgusting May 13, 2025 Full Review Clown in a Cornfield (2025) 73% 3.5/5 “Despite shallow characterizations for most of the teens, the mix of comedy and gore is really good. As an adaptation of Adam Cesare's popular YA book, this is more or less doing exactly what it should. Bring on the sequel.” – Horror Queers Podcast May 13, 2025 Full Review Another Simple Favor (2025) 62% 3/5 “Essentially the logline is "more of the same" but if you like the first film that's not a problem. Lively continues to excel, the costumes are even more outrageous and the pacing/editing still lags. It's all good fun” – Horror Queers Podcast May 12, 2025 Full Review Mommie Dearest (1981) 50% 3.5/5 “Alternating between high camp, lurid melodrama and genuine drama, Mommie Dearest varies wildly in tone. Dunaway is doing incredible work, though there's a saggy middle stretch that confirms the film doesn't need to be so long.” – Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network May 9, 2025 Full Review Hannibal (2001) 39% 3 “Despite some great gore and a fantastic Gary Oldman performance (under heavy make-up), Ridley Scott's take on Hannibal doesn't quite work. From the blurry action to a boring Clarice to copping out on the book's controversial ending, the film is meh” – Horror Queers Podcast May 7, 2025 Full Review The Fire Inside (2024) 93% 3/5 “Two great lead performances anchor the film, though the back half - which deals with Clarissa's underwhelming return to Flint - is much more interesting than the familiar first half's inspirational underdog story” – Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast May 6, 2025 Full Review Until Dawn (2025) 53% 3/5 “The actors are likeable, though Dauberman & Butler's script does little to flesh them out and most of the plot mechanics don't make sense. The film is saved by its practical FX and its watchability. It's slight, but a decent time.” – Horror Queers Podcast May 6, 2025 Full Review I'm Your Biggest Fan (2025) 3/5 “The biggest challenge plaguing I Am Your Biggest Fan is that there are few, if any, surprises... Ultimately [the film] is safe and pat, but the movie still checks all of the boxes for a Lifetime kidnapping flick.” – Bloody Disgusting May 5, 2025 Full Review Close (2022) 91% 5/5 “Devastating is the word to describe this film. What's fascinating is how the boys do not technically identify as queer; it's the hateful world around them that poisons their beautiful, innocent friendship” – The Queer Gaze (Podcast) May 1, 2025 Full Review Amityville VR (2024) 1.5/5 “It’s not always super exciting, but at least...it is a far more interesting and watchable film than AI.” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 3.5/5 “It’s...a fun film, with a number of entertaining and acerbic characters, but the mental health stuff is what ultimately distinguishes it from its contemporaries.” – Queer.Horror.Movies. Apr 30, 2025 Full Review The Visitor (2024) 94% 3/5 “Deliberately provocative and confronting (as many of LaBruce's films are), The Visitor is not for everyone. Still, one wishes that the last act packed a greater punch as the messaging seems simple and repetitive.” – The Queer Gaze (Podcast) Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Alien Resurrection (1997) 55% 3.5/5 “Too weird, wet and horny to be widely accepted, Alien Resurrection nevertheless captures Jeunet's unique stuff, Whedon's trademark quips, and brings its own flavour to the Alien franchise” – Horror Queers Podcast Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% 3.5/5 “Anchored by a dedicated lead performance by Fahy and energetic direction by Landon, Drop is a solid Red Eye-esque thriller that gets the job done.” – Horror Queers Podcast Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% 4/5 “Ryan Coogler's celebration of blues and juke joints is visually gorgeous, particularly some spectacular long takes. Jordan's dual performance could be more distinct and the opening & climax aren't as strong, though ” – Queer.Horror.Movies. Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Amityville AI (2024) 1/5 “Amityville AI feels out of touch, vaguely unaware of what AI actually is, and – like so many of the later films in the “series” – too long and boring for its 70 minute runtime” – Bloody Disgusting Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Christine (1983) 73% 3/5 “John Carpenter does a workmanlike job on this King adaptation, which suffers from thin characters (especially the female "lead"). Still the car has a ton of personality and the homoeroticism between the boys is welcome” – Horror Queers Podcast Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Rez Ball (2024) 94% 3/5 “A familiar, albeit welcome entry into the underdog sports canon. The film's characters are slight and the conflict is easily overcome, which makes the nearly 2 hr runtime draggy, but the bits on Navajo language are superb. ” – Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast Apr 8, 2025 Full Review A Nice Indian Boy (2024) 96% 3/5 “A charming, albeit slight gay rom-com with a healthy dose of cultural specificity” – The Queer Gaze (Podcast) Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Weekend (2011) 95% 5/5 “Haigh's breakout sophomore film is beautiful, nuanced, and incredibly intimate. The long takes allow the actors and the audience to breath in every moment of the brief relationship in this deeply earnest (and funny) queer romance.” – The Queer Gaze (Podcast) Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Panic Room (2002) 76% 4/5 “It may not be a "top tier" Fincher film, but this popcorn thriller is hugely entertaining and deserves more respect. It's a great time at the movies.” – Horror Queers Podcast Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Perfectly Good Moment (2023) 4/5 “Deftly captures the impact of emotional abuse with a clever non-linear structure. The tight 72 minute runtime is exactly as long as the story requires. This is economical, indie thriller storytelling done right.” – Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% 0.5/5 “Despite a stacked cast, A24's satire plays it far too safe. There's nothing new or interesting in this eat the rich story. The shooting and editing transparently telegraphs all of the kills and the "jokes" aren't funny (when they're actually there) ” – Horror Queers Podcast Mar 31, 2025 Full Review
