'Disclosure Day' - Steven Spielberg's Awe-Inspiring Return to the Unknown

One of the most thoroughly fascinating works from one of America’s greatest filmmakers and the best extraterrestrial story put to screen since Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival.

Creature Feature Showdown: 'Chum' vs 'Hungry'

Sadly, both Chum and Hungry serve as reminders that even the most reliable monster movie formula can easily go wrong.

'Backrooms' Invites You to Get Lost (Forever)

Even when the answers fail to satisfy, the terror of wandering those endless yellow halls remains impossible to shake.

You may not love every second of it, but you’re certainly never going to confuse it for anything else.

'Obsession' Sets a New Bar for Horror in 2026

One of the decade’s strongest horror films and an enormously confident statement from a filmmaker who already seems poised to become one of the genre’s defining new voices.

'The Punisher: One Last Kill' Shoots First and Asks Questions Later

As a standalone story, One Last Kill feels a little thin, but as a brutal coda to the Netflix era and a reintroduction for whatever Marvel has planned next, it gets the job done.

'Mortal Kombat II' is Dumb, Violent Fun

No, it’s not a good movie. But it’s definitely an entertaining one.

'Hokum' Checks You In to a Hotel from Hell

A worthwhile, if imperfect, addition to McCarthy’s growing body of work. It may not hit with the same terrifying precision as Caveat or Oddity, but its atmosphere, craftsmanship, and willingness to linger in discomfort ensure that it’s never less than engaging.

'The Serpent's Skin' is Part Dream, Part Nightmare→

April 27, 2026/ Nicolas Delgadillo
'The Serpent's Skin' is Part Dream, Part Nightmare

Much like the series that influenced it like Twilight or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Mackay’s latest film defies standard genre definition and is instead something more fluid: part coming-of-age drama, part supernatural horror, and, most compellingly, a sensual, emotionally charged romance.

'Lee Cronin's The Mummy' is One Nasty Piece of Work

There’s something undeniably compelling about this version of The Mummy, even when it’s at its most uneven. Cronin fills the film with moments of pure horror that can make even the most hardened of horror veterans squirm in their seats.

'Exit 8' is a Video Game Adaptation Done Right

It lingers not as a puzzle to be solved, but as a question to be reckoned with. It’s a film that echoes long after you’ve found your way out.

'Beast' Packs a Familiar but Powerful Punch

It’s overstuffed and occasionally melodramatic, but it definitely delivers where it counts. For all its narrative shortcomings, the film understands the primal appeal of the fight itself: the spectacle, the brutality, the catharsis. It may not be a champion, but it’s one tough contender.

'Our Hero, Balthazar' Goes for the Dark Comedy Jugular

It’s funny, yes, and often sharply so, but it’s also deeply affecting in its uniquely unsettling way.

'Faces of Death' - A Bold and Sinister Reimagining for the Algorithm Age

Nearly five decades after the original Faces of Death blurred the line between morbid reality and illusion, this bold reinterpretation makes that question feel urgent again.

'Pizza Movie' Swings for the Stoner Movie Fences

Loud, random, and increasingly ridiculous, but once it locks into its weird no-holds-barred wavelength, it becomes a genuinely fun time.

'Dead Lover' is a Hilarious and Wildly Grotesque Love Story

It’s a weird, wild, and wholly singular piece of work, one that won’t be for everyone, but for those willing to meet (and smell) it on its own terms, it’s unforgettable.

'Touch Me' is a Wildly Deviant Extraterrestrial Horror Comedy

For those willing to meet it on its level and get wrapped up in its alien tentacle embrace, it’s an experience that’s equal parts uncomfortable, hilarious, and oddly poignant; a reminder that sometimes the messiest, most unhinged stories can also be the most honest.

'They Will Kill You' is All Style, All Blood, and All Gas

Anchored by a ferocious lead turn from Zazie Beetz, this gonzo satanic horror-actioner wastes very little time getting to the good stuff. Even if it occasionally stumbles when it tries to convince you it has more on its mind than carnage, this is a worthwhile thrill ride for genre fans.
