The Cursed (2021) 71% “Overall, this is a worthy addition to the werewolf horror movie canon.” – Comic Years Feb 25, 2022 Full Review Scream (2022) 76% “The worst Scream movie is better than a lot of other horror movies. Is this the best since the sequel, as some have said? No. But is it the worst? Also no. It's firmly in the middle, but again, still a better time than most.” – Comic Years Jan 14, 2022 Full Review The Advent Calendar (2020) 80% “Even without the familiar soundtrack of carol singers, this is an effectively unsettling chiller for the holidays. It runs the risk of being cheap, but overall, it's a lot better than the words "Advent calendar horror movie" would lead you to believe.” – Comic Years Dec 2, 2021 Full Review Blumhouse's Fantasy Island (2020) 8% “This could have been a fun, scary movie. Instead, it's an often boring waste of time with a criminally stupid ending.” – Comic Years Nov 16, 2021 Full Review The Hunt (2020) 57% “People relying solely on the trailers or the outraged articles have only a surface-level of the movie. But the movie's not that deep, either.” – Comic Years Nov 16, 2021 Full Review 1917 (2019) 88% “We should be drawn into the personal story--director Sam Mendes loosely based the movie on his grandfather Alfred's wartime experiences--but instead, we're watching all the smoke and mirrors. It's sound and fury that could signify so much more.” – Comic Years Nov 16, 2021 Full Review Antlers (2021) 60% “This movie, while technically competent, is just a misfire on so many levels. Everything feels like it clashes, from the subject matter--American rot AND a big ol' antler monster--to the swelling inspirational music to the too dark palette of this film.” – Comic Years Oct 29, 2021 Full Review Dune (2021) 83% “It is a no-foolin' loud and proud space epic. It may be a bit obvious in its aspirations sometimes, but that's okay. The world-building here is exquisite. And it's the humans, especially in the quieter moments, who make this truly a triumph.” – Comic Years Oct 22, 2021 Full Review Halloween Kills (2021) 39% “How many audience members even know that Halloween Ends is coming next year? Because if they didn't, then the end of this one likely plays as bleak and unfinished. But that's basically the vibe of the whole thing.” – Comic Years Oct 15, 2021 Full Review Freaky (2020) 84% “Freaky isn't the most groundbreaking horror movie ever made, but it's a pretty high-water mark in our ongoing teen horror renaissance-have you heard about it?” – Comic Years Oct 2, 2021 Full Review Malignant (2021) 77% “It's absolutely bonkers, a word that comes up a lot in Malignant movie reviews, because the English language is too limited to express the audacity of something like this.” – Comic Years Sep 11, 2021 Full Review My Summer as a Goth (2018) 17% “This movie doesn't reinvent the teen movie wheel, but it's a lovely way to spend some time.” – Comic Years Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Antebellum (2020) 31% “As for the why of it all, that too stays shrouded in mystery-but perhaps that's for the best. The rest of the movie is rendered in such dull tones, such clumsy execution, that it's likely they would have fumbled a more concrete message.” – Comic Years Sep 8, 2021 Full Review Alabama Snake (2020) 64% “Unlike some viewers, I didn't need subtitles to understand a single speaker in this doc. I heard them just fine. I just wanted to hear more.” – Comic Years Sep 8, 2021 Full Review Wrong Turn (2021) 64% “If they'd tightened these ideas up just a tad, mainly by sharpening the viewpoint, then this movie might be a new modern classic. As it is, though, it's mainly a sometimes exciting detour.” – Comic Years Sep 8, 2021 Full Review The Turning (2020) 12% “You keep getting the feeling that there's another story-or stories here-that are leading somewhere.” – Comic Years Sep 5, 2021 Full Review Gretel & Hansel (2020) 63% “Ultimately, while this was a very striking and oftentimes unsettling film, it ends up as unsatisfying as a make-believe meal.” – Comic Years Sep 5, 2021 Full Review Bloodthirsty (2020) 80% “If you're going to make your audience wait over an hour to see some werewolf stuff, then you have to nail it. Sadly, though, it's just not there..” – Comic Years Sep 5, 2021 Full Review Candyman (2021) 84% “...for the most part, the film succeeds in its aspirations. It's never particularly scary, except in its first scene. But it does tell a solid story, capably fusing together the original film with this one.” – Comic Years Aug 27, 2021 Full Review Don't Breathe 2 (2021) 43% “You'll probably enjoy this film if you're looking for some b-movie horror fun. But if you're looking for something more substantial, then don't hold your breath.” – Comic Years Aug 13, 2021 Full Review Gigli (2003) 6% “Jennifer Lopez lights up the screen every time she's on it. Unfortunately, that's also to the movie's detriment, because from her first scene, she becomes the most interesting thing happening in any given moment.” – Comic Years Aug 9, 2021 Full Review The Grudge (2020) 20% “...despite the impressive gore, this just isn't a scary movie. It's a slow one that turns plodding after too long. It plays like someone tried to make It Follows and then stuffed it with millennial horror tropes.” – Comic Years Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Doctor Sleep (2019) 78% “Flanagan opted against the rather cheap jump-scares that plague so many other horror films these days. Instead, there's a quiet dread behind what Rose and company do.” – Comic Years Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Black Christmas (2019) 40% “While I didn't hate or even strongly dislike the film, I felt it was a little weak tea. As both a feminist movie and a horror movie, it tries too hard (or maybe not hard enough) to be both.” – Comic Years Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Blood Quantum (2019) 90% “Befitting its title, this movie is awash in blood, and it isn't afraid to show us some truly gnarly images. I just wish it'd gone as far with the social commentary.” – Comic Years Aug 5, 2021 Full Review
