The Dead Don’t Die Review [Overlook 2019]

The Dead Don't Die is a procedurally bland zomcom with little genre personality, playing as if Jarmusch invents a subgenre horror fans haven't been watching for decades.

Godzilla: King Of The Monsters Review

Godzilla: King Of The Monsters lays many a colossal Kaiju smackdown, but human arcs crumble under the heavy weights of those 'Zilla-sized behemoths they're forced to shoulder.

Octavia-Spencer-in-Ma-poster

Ma is a showcase for Octavia Spencer's ability to turn her typecasted traits into utterly disturbing obsession destabilization, but the film's less potent genre punch never lives up to its main character's psychotic allure.

Brightburn

Brightburn doesn't ask if you want blood, but you've damn-well got it in this nastily gruesome superhero hack-n-slash nightmare for parents everywhere.

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum Review

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum features the same cyclical franchise storytelling, but as executed thus far, further evolves action with newfound freshness and invigoration that ensures John Wick is Hollywood's most reliable action star.

Something Else Review [Tribeca 2019]

Something Else promises monsters but delivers more demons of the human experience variety, as this sweet and sincere creature feature is far more romantically heartfelt than expected.

"Shazam!" is the magic word as far as DCU establishment is concerned, as David Sandberg proves WB's superhero slate can be hilarious, heartfelt, *and* pack an electrified blast of action all at the same time.

Depraved

Depraved Review [What The Fest?! 2019]

Depraved hits empathetic highs as his creature learns harsh realities about humanity under a New York City haze, while the passion for the material is always evident.

Pet Sematary

Pet Sematary Review

Pet Sematary is proficiently tense, dashingly macabre and soaked in nightmarish tones that thrive on audience screams.
