The Black Cat (1934) 89% “While The Black Cat does not share many explicit connections with Poe's 1843 story, both texts use archetypal symbolism to explore painfully intimate experiences...” – Vague Visages Oct 10, 2024 Full Review The Canyons (2013) 21% “[It] signals prophetic visions of breakdown — in empathetic corporeality, in cinema genre legacies, and in the capitalist American psyche.” – In Review Online Oct 10, 2024 Full Review The Counselor (2013) 33% “The Counselor shows Scott’s pessimism alongside his obsessions with visual design and environment...” – In Review Online Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Kriya (2020) 78% “Shot on a limited budget and schedule, Kriya presents an ambitious filmmaker with impressive instincts, delivering an excitingly unique vision.” – In Review Online Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Detention (2019) “Detention recommends director John Hsu’s future efforts, but this debut effort falls mostly short of the mark.” – In Review Online Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Midnight (2021) 100% “Midnight is a solid piece of horror escapism, but suffers from a tendency toward familiar narrative and psychological shortcuts.” – In Review Online Oct 10, 2024 Full Review The Sadness (2021) 87% “Jabbaz’s primary focus is on cartoonishly gory entertainment. The director approaches scenes of carnage with glee...” – In Review Online Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Satan Wants You (2023) 95% “Satan Wants You’s chief achievement is that it understands its subject’s substantial sociopolitical implications and articulates them with economy and power. ” – In Review Online Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Sayuri (2024) “Sayuri promises the gonzo genre mix-up often mastered by Kiyoshi Kurosawa and Takashi Miike — while it never reaches anything near those heights, it contains plenty of indelible images and moments, and sometimes that's all a good horror movie needs.” – In Review Online Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Twixt (2011) 39% “The film’s lush, otherworldly dreamscapes foreground the theme of time by contrasting contemporary film technology against the aesthetics of Gothic pasts.” – In Review Online Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Never Let Go (2024) 58% “Despite its conceptual and formal strengths, the film fades into a peculiarly slight curiosity — a compelling, if misdirected, work of contemporary American Gothic.” – In Review Online Oct 3, 2024 Full Review The Soul Eater (2024) 80% “An elegantly rendered horror procedural with a staid, subtle performance by Ledoyen at its center. Bustillo and Maury have demonstrated once again that horror contains multitudes, and it doesn’t need to play arthouse dress-up to indicate as much.” – In Review Online Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Argento's Dracula (2012) 20% “I will not go so far as to say that I understand Dracula 3D, not even close, but I know that its sensibility effectively absorbed me. When it comes to the works of Dario Argento, that is all I have come to expect on a first viewing.” – Vague Visages Mar 25, 2024 Full Review It (2017) 85% “As an adaptation of a great 20th century novel, It completely misses the mark.” – Vague Visages Dec 12, 2023 Full Review The House With a Clock in Its Walls (2018) 65% “Emerging from a preceding filmography of viciously abrasive and almost ceaselessly offensive films, The House with a Clock in Its Walls sees Roth re-examining his interest in genre cinema.” – Vague Visages Dec 12, 2023 Full Review The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) 84% “Under its brutal dissembling of anthropocentrism and customary moral divides, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre points to the terror of a harsh and uncaring universe.” – Vague Visages Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Contempt (1963) 92% “Contempt is a daunting and formally labyrinthine work, calling its own fallibility to question even as it submits completely to the romance of cinema.” – Vague Visages Dec 12, 2023 Full Review My Soul to Take (2010) 11% “As the second last film in one of the great contemporary horror filmmaker’s careers, it’s an extraordinary example of artistic self-reflection and development.” – Vague Visages Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Shutter Island (2010) 69% “Shutter Island substantiates an artistic recurrence in Martin Scorsese's body of work. What is the cost to oneself of living by a system of belief?” – Vague Visages Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Silence (2016) 83% “Rodrigues commits to the preservation of his Christianity, refusing to apostatize no matter what the consequences might be.” – Vague Visages Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) 92% “The cumulative effect of Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore is one of openness and warmth.” – Vague Visages Dec 12, 2023 Full Review The Aviator (2004) 86% “Simultaneously, he deconstructs two icons of masculinity and success, ultimately revealing within both an undercurrent of socialization and conditioning...” – Vague Visages Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Raging Bull (1980) 92% “Martin Scorsese perfects a configuration of the biopic as self-recognized fiction.” – Vague Visages Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Stemple Pass (2012) “Stemple Pass speaks with more volume and terror than many contemporary horror films.” – Vague Visages Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Thanksgiving (2023) 84% “As an important genre auteur’s return to his origins and a paean to the slasher subgenre’s legacy, Thanksgiving works just fine.” – In Review Online Nov 20, 2023 Full Review
