Sinners (2025) 98% 9/10 “Overall Sinners is a great mix of Crossroads mixed with From Dusk Till Dawn. That's a lethal combination. And it's extra cool that Coogler was inspired by the song "One" by Metallica, as far as the movie's tone. Darkness!” – DrumDums Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Hell of a Summer (2023) 52% 5/10 “A few charming moments unfortunately can't save this mess of a movie. As far as camp slashers go, it doesn't commit to what makes the subgenre work well, especially in the kills dept. And the killer has zero personality. ” – DrumDums Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% 7/10 “As cliche as it sounds, Drop is a perfect date movie. It's swift, fun, and the two leads do have good chemistry. The story itself is pretty generic and predictable. ” – DrumDums Apr 11, 2025 Full Review The Woman in the Yard (2025) 44% 8/10 “Woman in the Yard is an extremely effective horror film with genuine chills and flawless direction by Jaume Collet-Serra (The Shallows, Orphan). The "woman" has the makings of a new horror icon, but given the subject matter, I doubt a sequel would happen.” – DrumDums Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 53% 8/10 “In true A24 fashion, Death of A Unicorn takes a common creature feature narrative, and adds a bit of the cosmic to the formula. It benefits from a group of fun and eccentric characters that would be just as entertaining in a straight up comedy. ” – DrumDums Mar 23, 2025 Full Review Locked (2025) 66% 6.5/10 “Locked strives hard to keep the viewer entertained throughout, and it does well for the most part. We're not reinventing the wheel here. But overall Locked is nothing special, like expected. It feels like a direct to streaming film. ” – DrumDums Mar 23, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% 7/10 “Disney's Snow White continues the trend of bland Disney remakes. This barely gets a pass for the brisk pacing, the entertainment value and the two leads. The CGI dwarves are the stuff of nightmares though. ” – DrumDums Mar 20, 2025 Full Review The Gorge (2025) 63% 7/10 “The Gorge has an epic look to it, almost as if Denis Villeneuve was behind it. Anya T Joy is always charming and electric for the camera. The plot ideas are a bit surface level, as well as a mishmash of other movies. ” – DrumDums Feb 17, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 78% 9/10 “It's a tonal shift from Perkins' previous films, and the timing couldn't be more perfect to fimly plant himself as one of the most important horror directors today. The Monkey is blood thirsty and off the wall hilarious. ” – DrumDums Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Becoming Led Zeppelin (2025) 83% 7/10 “The production here is top tier, well edited, and it's such a treat to have the three remaining members interviewed in wide-eyed splendor. Despite some pacing issues, a must watch for any Zeppelin fan. ” – DrumDums Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 7/10 “Mackie settles into the shield quite easily with confidence and carves his own path. Ford is determined as Ross, and the movie knows what it's aiming for. The pacing is lean and Red Hulk really shines leaving you begging for more. ” – DrumDums Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Heart Eyes (2025) 81% 7.5/10 “The script leans heavily on comedy to constantly lighten the mood. Our two main leads are ultra charming and heavily rootable. The final act is heavy on exposition, butt the violence and psychotic nature keep it in tow. ” – DrumDums Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 8/10 “Even with atrocious marketing, the movie itself is really fun with great star power in Jack Quaid and Sophie Thatcher. It gives a fresh spin on a familiar plot point over the last few years. ” – DrumDums Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% 2/5 “Where it fails is with thin characters, some weak acting and heavy predictability. The only somewhat interesting character is the daughter. And a cool ending can't make up for how uneffective the movie is.” – DrumDums Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 50% 7/10 “Whannell makes some effective decisions story-wise here by making it over the course of one night in a secluded location. I loved how the creature was handled, showing things from his perspective as the change is gradually happening. Really cool stuff.” – DrumDums Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Last Straw (2023) 78% 7.5/10 “It's set entirely in a diner, which I love, and Jessica Belkin is a character you might be annoyed by at first, but give her a chance. She has a nice arc. This is what The Strangers Chapter 1 should have been due to the killers having a similar appeal.” – DrumDums Jan 14, 2025 Full Review The Damned (2024) 91% 8/10 “The Damned is like a love letter to films like The Thing and The Fog. It's beautifully directed, is patient in showcasing dread, and Odessa Young oozes leading star power. ” – DrumDums Jan 7, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% 10/10 “Nosferatu is easily the most intoxicating movie of the year. Eggers never disappoints in creating mood with eccentric characters. Lily Rose Depp is mesmerizing. Bill Skarsgard's Count Orlok is utterly transformative and engaging. ” – DrumDums Dec 9, 2024 Full Review Werewolves (2024) 48% 5/10 “The premise is quite silly, but interesting. Frank Grillo is, well, Frank Grillo. And that's a good thing. But ultimately Werewolves fall short. It's just...there. There's a small portion of bloody werewolf carnage, but not enough to fill you up. ” – DrumDums Dec 9, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 7.5/10 “Sure Gladiator II has some head-scratching moments. But that's par for the Ridley Scott course. Its balanced very well, maybe even better than the first, with great blood thirsty action and heart. ” – DrumDums Nov 21, 2024 Full Review Red One (2024) 30% 2.5/10 “The most charming thing about the movie, Santa Clause, is only in it for about 10 minutes. It's just so thin and clumsy on story. And there's no warm and creamy holiday center like a lot of the classics. What a waste.” – DrumDums Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Time Cut (2024) 24% 5/10 “The time travel slasher feels half-hearted in almost every aspect. The performances seem tired and contrived. All the fun seems to be drained out of an already fool-proof premise. ” – DrumDums Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 91% 8/10 “Amongst so many heavy-weights in the religious horror spectrum this year, Heretic stands apart and forms it's own voice with witty and thought-provoking dialogue and a crippling sense of dread. ” – DrumDums Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 3/10 “Once again a character that should be foreboding and menacing is turned into a 3 Stooges sidekick. There's so many thin plotlines that don't amount to much, and we get a CGI vomit fest in the final act. Bravo.” – DrumDums Oct 24, 2024 Full Review Woman of the Hour (2023) 91% 7.5/10 “FIrst time director and star Anna Kendrick handles the job with focus and class. She knows exactly how she wants to tell the story, and from what angle. Daniel Zovatto is perfect cast as Rodney Alcala as well. ” – DrumDums Oct 21, 2024 Full Review
