'Mad God' Channels Nightmares and Monsters Into a Grotesque Masterpiece

Something in this film’s dense tapestry of horror always manages to pull you back in.

'Lux Æterna' is a Bewitching Sensory Overload

A solid, distilled example of Noé and his collaborators’ musings, ideas and unique brand of creative neon-lit chaos.

'Jurassic World Dominion' Delivers Loud Dino Action but Not Much Else→

'Jurassic World Dominion' Delivers Loud Dino Action but Not Much Else

Jurassic World Dominion does next to nothing with what it has nor does it feel like any kind of real finale to what began with the 1993 original or even Trevorrow’s own 2015 reboot.

'Watcher' Keeps Things Simple and Scary

What’s new here? Well to put it simply, Watcher is first and foremost really fucking scary.

'RRR' is Revolutonary

Turns what could easily be a ridiculous and cheesy tall tale into a compelling saga by the sheer power of its sincerity.

'The Bob's Burgers Movie' Serves Up Solid Summer Laughs

It doesn’t take full advantage of the big screen opportunity it has but at the same time it may not particularly need to.

'After Blue' is a Dreamy and Daring Blend of Sci-Fi and Fantasy

For all of its dreamlike and arthouse qualities, Mandico’s experimental film has the benefit of an accessible and cohesive narrative. It’s a strangely intoxicating cinematic experience, one bursting with boundless imagination.

'Top Gun: Maverick' Flies on Nostalgia and Breathtaking Action

To fans that fall into the nostalgia trap (knowingly or otherwise) or others who are here just for some truly spectacular aerial stunts (they are genuinely awesome), the storytelling shortcomings of Top Gun: Maverick probably won’t matter. In many ways, the legacy sequel does improve upon its predecessor.

'The Sadness' is a Seriously Messed Up, Astoundingly Gory Horror Flick

Disgusting carnage is made all the more impossible to look away from thanks to incredible practical effects, props and makeup. It’s astounding work.

May 20, 2022/ Nicolas Delgadillo
'Men' is One Blunt and Gut-Churning Metaphor

Perhaps that overindulgence of nastiness and abandoning of subtlety is the point of a story about the inescapable, gross prevalence of the terrors of men.

'Firestarter' Fails to Ignite So Much as a Spark

A flat, dull and sadly uninspired take on King’s work that is neither scary nor exciting.

'Monstrous' is a Mixed Bag of Various Genres

Christina Ricci is the not-so-secret weapon of Monstrous, whose performance makes up for the film’s at times lackluster execution of its various intriguing ideas.

Marvel Dips into Horror With 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness'

The multiverse itself may be left feeling significantly unexplored, but it’s hard not to celebrate a Marvel movie as streamlined as this one is, right down to its shorter runtime.

April 25, 2022/ Nicolas Delgadillo
'The Northman' Delivers Blood, Sweat, Tears and Viking Vengeance

While the story takes a rather linear route with few surprises, Eggers and his team still deliver incredibly visceral sequences of Viking brutality, an impressively massive and beautiful production and an engaging take on an old legend. It’s easy to get lost in time during those two hours.

'Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off' Chronicles the Life of a Legend

Hawk is a legend, and while this documentary may be more invested in that rather than what makes him a human, it’s still a dazzling story worth telling.

'Metal Lords' Blends Heavy Music and Culture into a Coming of Age Story

The film gets that misfit feeling that draws kids to the genre in the first place and is then able to explore the ways in which they externalize and internalize it.

'X' Sets the Bar for Horror in 2022

A no holds barred, take no prisoners horror flick that possesses that magical ability to still genuinely (and delightfully) shock and astound you.
