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) 98% 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) 53% 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 Ex Door Neighbor (2025) 4/5 “This is more than the average “threatening ex” narrative. Even when Ex Door Neighbor seems to consist solely of familiar characters and story beats, [though] they are so well-executed that the familiar remains highly enjoyable.” – Bloody Disgusting Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Maps to the Stars (2014) 62% 2.5/5 “A half-baked Hollywood satire that mostly doesn't work aside from an MVP turn by a wonderfully awful Julianne Moore.” – Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network Mar 27, 2025 Full Review The Unspoken (2015) 17% 3.5/5 “The film fails to unpack or explore its ending twist, but it does work reasonably well as an answer for both the events of the film and...every haunted house film, including all of those contained within the Amityville “franchise.”” – Bloody Disgusting Mar 26, 2025 Full Review Uglies (2024) 16% 2/5 “The (yes) ugly CGI hoverboard action and unconvincing love interest are issues, but casting Laverne Cox as a villain who forces children to undergo surgery is just unfortunate considering the current political transphobic moment” – Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Hounds of Love (2016) 88% 4.5/5 “Hounds of Love lives and dies on the performances by Cummings and Booth, who are both exquisite. An extremely rough watch from Ben Young, who tried to distance himself from the Birnies' true crime story, but the inspiration is as clear as day. ” – Murder Made Fiction Podcast - Bloody Disgusting Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Sin City (2005) 76% 3.5/5 “Rodriguez and Miller bring the latter's pulpy source material to stunning life, with pops of colour to complement the stark black and white cinematography. The Noir-inspired content means plenty of gender stereotypes, but Willis and Rourke shine.” – Horror Queers Podcast Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Misericordia (2024) 95% 4/5 “A cross between a psychosexual thriller and a French farce, Alain Guiraudie's latest film defies categorization and subverts expectations at every turn. It's genuinely exciting to be so surprised by a film” – The Queer Gaze (Podcast) Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) 93% 4.5/5 “Easily one of the best horror remakes of all time, there's a lot to unpack in this technical masterpiece, including the vital early character work, the amazing practical effects, and that fatalistic ending.” – Horror Queers Podcast Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Opus (2025) 41% 2.5/5 “Opus is derivative of many, many other films. It's not outright bad (mostly thanks to a game cast), but its satire is shallow and the actors don't get much to do. In a word: disappointing.” – Horror Queers Podcast Mar 18, 2025 Full Review The Snowtown Murders (2011) 85% 4.5/5 “Director Kurzel and screenwriter Grant adapt the horrifying true story of the Snowtown (aka the "bodies in the barrels") murders. It's an incredibly difficult - but important - watch and features a terrifying performance by Daniel Henshall” – Murder Made Fiction Podcast - Bloody Disgusting Mar 18, 2025 Full Review The Parenting (2025) 48% 3/5 “There's a sketch comedy vibe to the film (credit or blame writer Kent Sublette's work on SNL), but the ensemble cast is stacked. Stand-out is Flynn, who displays surprisingly great comedic chops. Fans of Summoning Sylvia or Slay will enjoy this” – Horror Queers Podcast Mar 17, 2025 Full Review F Marry Kill (2025) 54% 3/5 “The film definitely works better as a comedy than a thriller, but Hale is game, the guys are hot, and the jokes are funny (even if the depiction of podcasting is wholly unrealistic)” – Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Borderline (2025) 56% 2.5/5 “I'm 50/50 on the film, which has some great moments and solid performances, but never fully comes together.” – Horror Queers Podcast Mar 14, 2025 Full Review
