Until Dawn (2025) 52% “Throws plot out the window in favor of gore and schlock. [Using] a time-loop conceit to replicate the feeling of respawning in a video game, it gives director David F. Sandberg an excuse to blitz through as many teen horror tropes as can fit in two hours.” – Inverse Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% “Part-Southern gothic nightmare, part-rock ‘n’ roll opera, Sinners is the rare film that possesses you body and soul.” – Inverse Apr 10, 2025 Full Review G20 (2025) 58% “The Die Hard remix isn’t the action vehicle it could have been, but it’s a lot of fun regardless.” – Inverse Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% “It succeeds in cementing Jack Quaid as an unconventional action star. Whether its story is strong enough to go as far as he does is another issue entirely.” – Inverse Mar 12, 2025 Full Review The Gorge (2025) 63% “While there’s no shortage of pulpy thrills in The Gorge — packed as it is with one bonkers twist after the next — for all its exciting ideas, one major ingredient seems to be missing: a sense of restraint.” – Inverse Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% “Brave New World is at once too much story and not enough, especially where its supposed lead is concerned... With so many other compelling threads in play, Sam becomes a hapless passenger, a vessel through which the MCU can recover lost story threads.” – Inverse Feb 12, 2025 Full Review By Design (2025) 71% “Part experimental theater, part absurd tragicomedy, By Design is an oddball of a film — but it manages to express an untenable aspect of the feminine mystique with a unique blend of gonzo charm.” – Inverse Feb 10, 2025 Full Review Oh, Hi! (2025) 72% “A satire designed to make you think a bit harder about heartbreak. It’s a sincere, if silly, exploration of our worst fears as millennials looking for love” – Inverse Feb 6, 2025 Full Review The Ugly Stepsister (2025) 96% “Another tragic fable takes on a surprisingly modern, delightfully gory bent.” – Inverse Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Opus (2025) 41% “Opus feels caught between the psychological battle between journalist and artist, and the cheaper, bloodier expectations of the genre.” – Inverse Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Your Monster (2024) 77% “With a brilliant co-star and a script that doesn’t take itself too seriously, Lindy and Barrera deliver a tale of self-love that’s not so easily forgotten.” – Inverse Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Red Rooms (2023) 96% “Plante delivers a harrowing portrait of our world, where truth isn’t just untenable, it’s irrelevant.” – Inverse Jan 14, 2025 Full Review Smile 2 (2024) 86% “A relentless, brittle, and brutally-funny splice of psychological and supernatural horror, and with Scott center stage, it’s anything but predictable.” – Inverse Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Kraven the Hunter (2024) 15% “A clunky, crowded script, muddy visual effects, and glaringly obvious ADR bog down a promising premise. It’s not camp enough to become a cult classic, and it lacks the conviction to carry its most ambitious ideas to the finish line.” – Inverse Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Y2K (2024) 42% “A24’s raunchy apocalyptic comedy glitches before it can even get started.” – Inverse Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% “With two fantastic leads and a surprising new perspective, the long-awaited adaptation puts its contemporaries to shame.” – Inverse Nov 24, 2024 Full Review Red One (2024) 30% “Is it the latest casualty in Hollywood’s quest to Marvel-ize any straightforward story it comes across? Yes. But it’s also, maybe, not as irredeemable as some might have you believe.” – Inverse Nov 14, 2024 Full Review My Old Ass (2024) 90% “My Old Ass veers from plucky sci-fi comedy into a much more earnest lane; fortunately, under Park’s direction, it never feels all that forced.” – Inverse Nov 13, 2024 Full Review House of Spoils (2024) 40% “Blumhouse’s dark fairy tale is suitably unsettling, but needs more time to simmer.” – Inverse Oct 14, 2024 Full Review The Front Room (2024) 41% “Its sparse story is in dire need of divine reinvention, and not even its brilliant central performance can truly save it.” – Inverse Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Rebel Ridge (2024) 95% “Saulnier raises compelling questions about power and its abuse, but it’s in attempting to answer those questions that Rebel Ridge starts to stumble.” – Inverse Sep 6, 2024 Full Review The Crow (2024) 21% “What starts as a compelling love story ends up choked by a gory, gruesome tale of revenge: there are glimmers of brilliance here and there, but there’s not always room for the dark to mingle with the light.” – Inverse Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Kill (2023) 89% “A scrappy, one-location thriller that gets in and out in just over 100 minutes, and won’t fail to leave an impression.” – Inverse Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Seeking Mavis Beacon (2024) 75% “As "Seeking" pulls its scope further and further back, to focus on the inner lives of its documentarians and their personal feelings, it becomes something truly special. It becomes more of a portrait of a community. ” – Inverse Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Hit Man (2023) 95% “Chock-full of meditations on identity and ego, and plays things relatively safe on the action-front. What it lacks in sophistication or subtlety, though, is more than recouped with a surprisingly steamy romance.” – Inverse Jun 7, 2024 Full Review
