Ash (2025) 74% 2.5/4 “Ash is a solid delivery mechanism for genre thrills.” – Slant Magazine Mar 17, 2025 Full Review In the Lost Lands (2025) 24% 2.5/4 “The film provides Paul W.S. Anderson with a sturdy canvas for his unique brand of gaudy, campy cool.” – Slant Magazine Mar 5, 2025 Full Review The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) 71% 2/4 “The film single-mindedly sees its elderly characters as objects of disgust or receptacles for harm.” – Slant Magazine Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Rounding (2022) 63% 2/4 “A few scenes show glimmers of promise for what Alex Thompson can achieve when he’s more in his wheelhouse. It’s a shame that the horror and tension that make up the bulk of Rounding are so clearly outside of it.” – Slant Magazine Feb 10, 2025 Full Review Armand (2024) 75% 2/4 “By the time we’re watching whole conversations be drowned out by noise of pounding rain, the abstract tendencies of Armand begin to feel like an act of unintentional self-sabotage.” – Slant Magazine Feb 2, 2025 Full Review The Colors Within (2024) 93% 3.5/4 “The film is able to suggest great depths by withholding so much, by having characters express what they feel only in abstract terms during a fraught, transitional period of their lives.” – Slant Magazine Jan 20, 2025 Full Review Night Call (2024) 81% 2/4 “Michiel Blanchart’s film often feels like a patchwork of half-developed ideas, each more loosely and tenuously woven into the whole than the last.” – Slant Magazine Jan 12, 2025 Full Review Flow (2024) 97% 3/4 “Gints Zilbalodis’s animated feature is movingly attuned to its characters’ primal instincts.” – Slant Magazine Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Memoir of a Snail (2024) 95% 3/4 “Adam Elliot, whose work is no stranger to despondency, never allows the film to fully succumb to despair.” – Slant Magazine Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Sleep (2024) 95% 2.5/4 “Jason Yu’s film may not reach its full potential, but it offers a devious commentary on the all-too-human desire for easy explanations.” – Slant Magazine Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Apartment 7A (2024) 43% 1.5/4 “The film’s potential never crystallizes outside of one 10-minute stretch that, unfortunately, is immediately followed by the credits.” – Slant Magazine Sep 20, 2024 Full Review His Three Daughters (2023) 98% 3/4 “His Three Daughters sneaks up on you, for as chatty, monologue-forward as Jacobs’s screenplay may be, it conveys so much through absence and suggestion.” – Slant Magazine Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Only the River Flows (2023) 85% 2.5/4 “The craft brought to bear on Only the River Flows is captivating, but when it comes to matters of story, it cultivates a frustrating air of disinterest.” – Slant Magazine Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Crumb Catcher (2023) 87% 2.5/4 “Chris Skotchdopole’s feature debut is a tantalizing mix of the absurd and the mundane.” – Slant Magazine Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Oddity (2024) 96% 2.5/4 “Thanks to its expert staging, the film doesn’t lose much in the way of immediacy.” – Slant Magazine Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Dandelion (2024) 75% 2/4 “So much of making art is about confidence, and while Nicole Riegel has set aside some of the clattering obviousness of her debut feature, 2020’s Holler, she still doesn’t fully trust her textured images to do the talking.” – Slant Magazine Jul 7, 2024 Full Review Blood for Dust (2023) 79% 2.5/4 “The film is held together by the intensity of its haunted-looking cast and the dour atmosphere.” – Slant Magazine Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Chicken for Linda! (2023) 94% 2.5/4 “However pleasurable and pretty Chicken for Linda! may be in its individual scenes, it doesn’t so much achieve harmony through its balancing of contrasting elements as it fully surrenders to childlike whimsy.” – Slant Magazine Apr 2, 2024 Full Review Stopmotion (2023) 91% 2/4 “The film falters when it attempts to mold its best instincts into a discernible narrative shape.” – Slant Magazine Feb 18, 2024 Full Review The Promised Land (2023) 97% 3/4 “Even when it’s painting its story in broad strokes, the film plays expertly to audience emotion.” – Slant Magazine Feb 1, 2024 Full Review Handling the Undead (2024) 75% 2/4 “For how committed it is to convincing the audience of the profundity of a rudimentary point, the film’s measured pacing comes to feel like a kind of torture.” – Slant Magazine Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Realm of Satan (2024) 70% 1.5/4 “The film isn’t designed to challenge what you think you know about the Church of Satan.” – Slant Magazine Jan 22, 2024 Full Review Sujo (2024) 93% 2.5/4 “Befitting the unseen forces that seem to drive the characters, writer-directors Fernanda Valadez and Astrid Rondero bring a haunted, dreamlike undercurrent to the film similar to sequences from their prior collaboration, Identifying Features.” – Slant Magazine Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Mayhem! (2023) 81% 1.5/4 “Whenever Mayhem! makes any attempt at character building, it feels as if we’re watching a trashy D온라인카지노추천 movie, and as a result reveals itself as a run-of-the-mill revenge flick that practically crawls toward its preordained destination.” – Slant Magazine Jan 2, 2024 Full Review Society of the Snow (2023) 90% 2/4 “J.A. Bayona rarely lets his images speak for themselves, which is frustrating given his obvious gift for poetic, almost surreal succinctness.” – Slant Magazine Dec 18, 2023 Full Review
