Booger (2024) 96% “...while it will not be for everyone, Booger is a worthy entry into the current trend of feral-domestic animal/woman media. It puts all the messy, dark underbelly of unexpected grief to the forefront and challenges you to respond.” – Daily Grindhouse Jan 20, 2025 Full Review The Becomers (2023) 94% “...The Becomers is an understated, unusual love letter to this hungry, needful drive toward connection amid a bizarre and dying world.” – Daily Grindhouse Jan 20, 2025 Full Review Endless Summer Syndrome (2024) 85% “ENDLESS SUMMER SYNDROME is a fascinating effort in no small part because it challenges us to consider and confront our own responses to the situation at hand in ways that feel designed to make us uncomfortable beyond just what is playing out onscreen.” – Daily Grindhouse Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Red Rooms (2023) 96% “It is unrelentingly cold and bleak. It is firmly planted in reality, and yet still manages to dip us into a sense of the unbelievable. It is a deep, dark mirror held up to the culture of celebrity worship—no matter how the “celebrity” was earned.” – Daily Grindhouse Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Bride of Frankenstein (1935) 98% “What makes Bride such a powerful entry in the Frankenstein canon—and the classic Universal series as a whole—is its ability to keep its horror under the surface. Only occasionally does it truly allow it to come to the forefront full force...” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) 57% “Where the first Paranormal Activity sought to present hours of no movement by speeding up the clock, the sequel pressures you to examine every corner of a room for yourself.” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Move Me (2022) “Perhaps the most important element of Move Me to come away with, however, are Kelsey’s observations about the differences between life before her accident and life now, and the way she finds humor in the smallest moments...” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Skins (2017) “...not some scandalous comedy about dramatically and hysterically disfigured people, but a deeply sad and heartfelt meditation on shame, acceptance, and a society that stays ready to shun anyone who looks or needs to function outside the norm.” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Nika (2021) “Nika is an almost painfully intimate look into her life, carried beautifully by Yankoskaya’s performance. Her ability to embody the complexities of a woman who so clearly strained to find herself...and fight against her past is heartbreaking. ” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review The Prank (2022) 38% “...a fun ride propelled onward by strong performances...despite some pacing issues that occasionally slow the story..., it’s a darkly comic exploration of the time-honored tradition of intimidated kids making monsters out of mole hills” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Honeycomb (2022) 88% “Honeycomb transcends the realm of summer outing and catapults itself into a land of vaguely threatening sweetness. To underestimate it because of how or by whom it was made is to incur its wrath.” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Delta Space Mission (1984) “Watching Delta Space Mission unfold is a bit of a psychedelic experience. Even moments of stillness have an air about them that hints more at underlying vivacity that constantly builds rather than a sense of calm.” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Lux Æterna (2019) 64% “...Lux Aeterna‘s slapdash 5-day assembly and experimental approach to storytelling re-centers the beautiful nightmare niche of movies whose strongest pull are the vibes they wrap you in from start to finish...unease you can’t quite grasp but...feel” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review LandLocked (2022) 67% “It feels like it was an effort of love and remembrance, the kind of thing meant to live on so audiences can reclaim and reconsider their own connections to their own pasts, made of the vulnerable lifeblood of a family that truly existed.” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review PussyCake (2021) 71% “...a gloriously grotesque mashup of Josie and the Pussycats and Evil Dead. If that sounds like an unnatural or unusual mix to you, I promise it is nothing short of a match made in midnight movie heaven.” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review The Attachment Diaries (2021) 92% “What makes Attachment Diaries perverse is just the same thing that makes it an irresistible watch: these women perform acts and display their bodies in ways that directly counter social expectations. ” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review The Artifice Girl (2022) 92% “A markedly uncomfortable and emotional watch, Ritch’s film feels both unique and necessary, especially in a world where technology itself is constantly shifting from luxury to necessity. ” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Dark Nature (2022) 72% “Audiences should proceed with a bit of caution, perhaps, as it is done so effectively as to be potentially triggering to some, but it is also a testament to the strength of Berkley Brady’s ability that such a powerful and immersive work is her debut...” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Skinamarink (2022) 74% “The atmosphere created in this film is more than just immediately unsettling. It feels, as the situations get darker and bleaker, almost as if we are watching something we have no business laying eyes on. Like a fever dream you can’t quite shake. ” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review The Fifth Thoracic Vertebra (2022) “The atmosphere of Vertebra lives in the liminal space between softly romantic and violent, as the creature develops along its lifecycle into something desperate to make sense of its complexities and the subtleties of the world around it.” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review The Island of Lost Girls (2022) “...the Schmidt family has proven that there is no underestimating the strength of sisterly connection, and that involving children in creating their own fairy tale scenarios will prove to be an awfully big adventure.” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Speak No Evil (2022) 84% “Rather than invading the victim’s home, Tafdrup’s film turns the house into an invader itself, displacing the victims into a state of constant discomfort only amplified by the consistent invasion of their personal boundaries.” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Dark Glasses (2022) 52% “Tamer, yes, but with enough of the same potential for bite that Dark Glasses can, and should, be considered a successful return with an aim to bring in new fans.” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Piggy (2022) 91% “...a consistent vulnerable canvas of pain and rage that should be enough to make even the hardest audiences sit back and consider the kind of pressure we place on ourselves and others to fit our ideas. ” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Razzennest (2022) 93% “...immersive in an almost inarticulable way with the kind of horror in its climax that has its teeth sunk in before you’ve even realized it’s bitten. It is, also, a novel approach to the forced confrontation with history we occasionally seem to need.” – Daily Grindhouse Aug 4, 2024 Full Review
