Until Dawn (2025) 51% 7.5/10 “In homing in on the most eccentric and wild elements of the game’s mythology, Until Dawn unfolds as an effective and economical slice of horror, often playing as a greatest hits compilation of its source material’s most riveting and inventive ideas.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% “Sinners survives the harrowing night as one of the most transgressive major studio releases in recent memory. It not only relishes in its genre’s conventions, but also understands that in America, the real hateful monsters walk among us in the daytime.” – RANGE Magazine Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 93% 3/5 “Garland and Mendoza’s cinema of pure shock and awe takes hold of audiences with a relentless death grip... [but] Warfare finds itself sharing much in common with a slick piece of propaganda, depoliticizing something inherently political.” – NEXT Magazine Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% “Armed with a plot that’s as implausible as it is engrossing, Landon’s film not only knows how to meticulously set up the dominoes but also how to make them tumble in style.” – RANGE Magazine Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 74% “While Boden and Fleck’s tribute to a bygone Oakland isn’t as revelatory as its influences, it is earnest and heartfelt enough to make us wish we’d been there to experience it.” – RANGE Magazine Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% 2/5 “The real miracle within Death of a Unicorn lies not with the discovery of its vicious eponymous creature but in how something so delightfully bizarre can be made so painfully bland.” – NEXT Magazine Mar 28, 2025 Full Review The Alto Knights (2025) 40% 2/5 “A DOUBLE DOSE of Robert De Niro is not enough to salvage a mobster flick that has more in common with a hokey soap opera than a gritty crime fable. ” – NEXT Magazine Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% “While narrative inconsistencies and contrivances poke bigger holes in the plot than the arrows in Nathan’s battered body, Novocaine is too raucous and lively to let them dampen its sprit. ” – RANGE Magazine Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% “Tough questions and even tougher answers coldly slink their way through the subterfuge to unearth what is, oddly, one of the most intensely romantic films of the year so far.” – RANGE Magazine Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Opus (2025) 41% 4/10 “Green’s debut feels like the residue of its contemporary influences, replete with an easily marketable concept but none of the bravado and vision to make it memorable. ” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% “Teetering between light farce and sweeping epic, the chaotic Mickey 17 is structurally messy, tonally jarring, and, at times, heavy-handed to a fault. Still, there’s no denying Joon-ho’s sprawling and immersive vision. ” – RANGE Magazine Mar 10, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 79% “The Monkey is an experience consistently at odds with itself, eventually losing the precarious edge that made it so arresting. While Perkins’ film is half-great, it’s a half that needs to be seen to be believed.” – RANGE Magazine Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Heart Eyes (2025) 81% 7.5/10 “Stitched together from the best parts of its various influences, Heart Eyes is a complete genre vehicle that abounds in resounding laughter and slaughter.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% “While Hancock’s film never pushes the envelope of its sub-genre—operating a cut below influences like Blade Runner, Ex Machina, Her, and Terminator—its campy satire is sharp enough to leave an impact.” – RANGE Magazine Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Flight Risk (2025) 30% 3/10 “Gibson’s handcuffed camerawork is the amalgamation of the same few close-ups, mightily laboring to foster a sense of tension and dread that would otherwise cloak how readymade this film looks for portable background streaming.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Jan 24, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 50% “Leigh Whannell’s monster flick takes the werewolf mythos to new, introspective places, but musters an incomplete transformation.” – RANGE Magazine Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% “Robert Eggers’ bigger and bolder reimagining may not be the definitive iteration, but it offers the most enveloping.” – RANGE Magazine Jan 7, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% “For a figure defined by his wry, unconventional swings, Mangold’s film firmly goes with the grain, unfolding as a by-the-numbers musical biopic that still manages to be a hit. ” – RANGE Magazine Dec 31, 2024 Full Review September 5 (2024) 93% “While the film’s apolitical stance can be rightfully construed as the type of safe choice the ABC crew tirelessly avoided to capture the crisis, it doesn’t render September 5 any less riveting or illuminating.” – RANGE Magazine Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Beatles '64 (2024) 95% “Featuring intimate, never-before-seen footage shot at the time by pioneering documentarians, Albert and David Maysles, Beatles ‘64 manifests as a rousing cross between an easygoing hangout movie and an illuminating cultural portrait.” – RANGE Magazine Nov 30, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% 6/10 “As if echoing the musical range of its two stars, Wicked is full of exorbitant highs and lows. Chu’s film is constructed with a clear reverence for its source material, but its pure dependence on computer-generated trickery zaps the real magic away.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 7.5/10 “While far from profound, Gladiator II is simply too entertaining and sweeping to ignore.” – But Why Tho? A Geek Community Nov 11, 2024 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% “A Real Pain masterfully and delicately reconciles that classic sense of pain with our modern malaise, beautifully rambling its way through heartfelt observations on the legacy and validity of pain.” – RANGE Magazine Nov 8, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% “Bursting with kaleidoscopic detail and overflowing with gnarly, cringe-inducing “WTF” moments, The Substance is not a cult classic in the making but one already made. ” – RANGE Magazine Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara (2024) 94% “It stands as a startling showcase for how the terminally online world has transformed fame and fandom in irrevocable ways. But it may have been a more damning one, had it not pulled the trigger on its fascinating story a tad too early.” – RANGE Magazine Oct 17, 2024 Full Review
