Birdeater (2023) 75% 3/5 “Birdeater shines when it centers on the sordid dealings of its cast. That said, it isn’t as thrilling as it could be.” – The Fiction Department Jan 16, 2025 Full Review Survive (2024) 71% 5/10 “Survive certainly has some good moments, thanks to a strong showing by Émilie Dequenne. They just aren’t frequent enough to keep it from being a mostly boring experience.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 14, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% 4.5/5 “Nosferatu is an outstanding horror film. Part period piece, part fever dream, it evokes a palpable sense of dread while telling a familiar, yet engrossing tale. ” – The Fiction Department Jan 4, 2025 Full Review The Damned (2024) 91% 8/10 “The Damned (2024) is an intriguing horror film that creatively showcases the damaging effects of guilt. Initially frightening, thanks to a solid cast and eerie atmosphere, it has the potential to stick with viewers long after the credits roll. ” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Dec 18, 2024 Full Review The Beast Within (2024) 40% 5/10 “Despite having an interesting take on werewolves, The Beast Within proves to be a middling experience.” – IGN Movies Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever (2023) 69% 6/10 “Demons Are Forever gets off to a good start, only to lapse into familiarity and predictability. It repeats the wrong parts of the previous Nightwatch, removing what worked in the past; even the twist fails to shock, and only leads to an anticlimactic end.” – IGN Movies May 20, 2024 Full Review American Fiction (2023) 93% 10/10 “American Fiction is a brilliant satirical drama that shines an inquisitive light on how art from marginalized people is viewed. It’s thought-provoking, heartening, silly, and at times, downright hilarious. ” – IGN Movies Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Lift (2024) 30% 5/10 “Lift is dragged down by a general half-heartedness. It goes beyond the actors and into the heists themselves: Fist fights on a plane and high-speed boat chases shouldn’t be this dull or by-the-numbers.” – IGN Movies Jan 12, 2024 Full Review The Monkey King (2023) 56% 5/10 “Netflix’s The Monkey King is an example of a potentially great film that’s undone by poor pacing, uneven animation, and a truly unlikable protagonist.” – IGN Movies Aug 18, 2023 Full Review The Dirt (2019) 38% 7.8/10 “Netflix’s The Dirt won’t win any awards nor will it inspire any would-be musicians, but it is entertaining and offers up a compelling story about Mötley Crüe. ” – IGN Movies Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Mandy (2018) 90% 8.8/10 “Mandy is a refreshing, unbridled riff on the familiar horror story of a wronged person who exacts revenge on the bad guys in horrible fashion.” – IGN Movies Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Kings (2017) 10% 4/10 “Kings' fragmented treatment fails in delivering a compelling story. It also lacks the depth and clarity needed to convey a solid message, which one can assume was the purpose given the liberal use of certain politically charged images and sound bites.” – IGN Movies Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Escape Plan 2: Hades (2018) 7% 4.8/10 “Escape Plan 2: Hades fails to recapture what made the previous film a decent watch. It doesn’t offer up any thrills, compelling characters or humor. ” – IGN Movies Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Paterno (2018) 69% 6.7/10 “The plot’s structuring is odd and nothing’s fleshed out enough for the audience to derive anything significant. It is a somewhat, evenhanded dramatization of true events though (sans the bits towards the end). ” – IGN Movies Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Talk to Me (2023) 94% 9/10 “Talk to Me's unique take on possession cleverly depicts the struggles associated with grief and depression. It’s also scary, often invoking a sense of dread through an impressive use of sound, practical effects, and meaningful cinematography.” – IGN Movies Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Day Shift (2022) 57% 8/10 “Its premise is decent enough and while the buddy cop aspects fall flat more often than not, the film still manages to be funny. Ultimately, Day Shift is a fun evening waiting to happen for horror and action fans alike.” – GameSpot Jul 19, 2023 Full Review The Sea Beast (2022) 94% 8/10 “anyone versed in Pixar or Dreamworks will undoubtedly see those influences here. That fact alone doesn't negate what the film does well though. And it still tells a captivating adventure story using fully realized characters.” – GameSpot Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Choose or Die (2022) 31% 7/10 “Netflix’s Choose or Die is a solid thriller. It isn’t meant to be terribly scary--don’t expect a ton of jump scares or gory deaths--as the focus is aimed at presenting a bad and sometimes unsettling situation in an interesting way.” – GameSpot Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Patient Zero (2018) 11% 5/10 “Patient Zero is void of horror. It struggles to build tension thanks to a predictable plot and lackluster villains, which is as shame considering how the infected were built up to be this menacing force. ” – IGN Movies Jul 19, 2023 Full Review They Cloned Tyrone (2023) 95% 8/10 “What would be an otherwise interesting, yet potentially clichéd approach to social commentary is elevated by the relative believability of the film’s surreal events. ” – IGN Movies Jul 14, 2023 Full Review Suzume (2022) 96% 9/10 “Suzume is a captivating film that depicts the grieving process in a creative and thoughtful manner. It features a strong cast, a moving score, and some truly amazing animation. ” – IGN Movies Apr 4, 2023 Full Review The Magician's Elephant (2023) 66% 7/10 “The absence of comedic moments and any sense of adventure, which is mostly subdued by a whimsical yet predictable plot, could potentially turn young viewers off early on. That said, it still manages to entertain thanks to a relatable cast of characters.” – IGN Movies Mar 2, 2023 Full Review We Have a Ghost (2023) 43% 6/10 “Netflix’s We Have a Ghost features a few solid performances, decent special effects, and an interesting premise about a troubled boy and his ghost friend Ernest, brought to life by David Harbour’s physical acting abilities.” – IGN Movies Feb 25, 2023 Full Review The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh - Part 1 (2022) 6/10 “The brief action segments are entertaining, the cast is great, and the animation is solid. Unfortunately, fans will get the most mileage out of the content given the film’s open-ended nature and lack of needed exposition. ” – IGN Movies Dec 21, 2022 Full Review Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (2022) 40% 8/10 “Its premise, slight deviations aside, is as worn as Tiny Tim’s shoes at this point. Thankfully, it does manage to stand out in the smallest, but still impactful, of ways. ” – IGN Movies Nov 30, 2022 Full Review
