Grafted (2024)
77%
4/5
“Without a strong lead, a film like Grafted wouldn’t hit a home run. Thankfully, Joyena Sun’s performance goes from soft-spoken to deliciously unhinged.” –

Jethica (2022)
92%
“I recommend Jethica to anyone who enjoys stunning scenery, a somewhat throwback film style, good performances from the leads, an unnerving depiction of stalking, and some comedic moments throughout.” –

Attachment (2022)
95%
“I recommend Attachment for folks who want something new, queer, and surprising. And if you’re a big fan of Shudder originals, this is another splendid addition to their catalogue.” –

Slayers (2022)

2/5
“There are funny beats, one of the protagonists is a lesbian gamer, and Malin Akerman is as alluring as ever. The problem is that when it comes down to it, the movie doesn’t do anything new.” –

“Each segment is like an appetizer, and they are all tasty in their own ways. It’s late ’90s overload, and it works. ” –

Sissy (2022)
96%
4/5
“The film will appeal to those who love horror comedies and chaos in their horror in general -- in particular, chaotic women and how that's often depicted in horror as freeing. Aisha Dee's performance balances tenderness and chaos so well. ” –

86%
“Do Revenge has pleasant cinematography, fabulous costume design, an on-point soundtrack, and minor characters that actually lend to the humor or story, while artfully capturing Gen Z. ” –

“It’s nearly impossible not to be drawn in by Kate Bosworth’s sultry movements and intense performance as Mina -- and it deserves a classic slow clap.” –

Orphan: First Kill (2022)
70%
“Throw any reservations you may have about prequels down the stairs. Orphan: First Kill has twists and turns that make it feel like a slasher -- and it is quite an enjoyable (and still surprising) ride.” –
