Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 76% 3/5 EDIT “There's a bunch of fun scenes and strong performances, but the connecting material often feels flimsy. Still, going from not bad gags to okay banter to decent action to gory deaths and back again isn't the worst way to spend 100-odd minutes” – It's Better in the Dark Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 79% EDIT “Cold Storage might feel a little reheated at times, but there's enough flavour left in the many ingredients to create a tasty snack.” – It's Better in the Dark Mar 15, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% EDIT “What this does have in spades is problem solving, and as with The Martian that turns out to be enough” – It's Better in the Dark Mar 13, 2026 Full Review War Machine (2026) 69% 3.5/5 EDIT “The story's familiarity just means it’s easier to focus on what counts, which would be the action sequences – and they’re varied, effective and relentless.” – ScreenHub Mar 11, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 3/5 EDIT “While this never stitches itself together into a satisfying creation, the many parts are entertaining enough on their own to make this a thrilling, if occasionally frustrating, experience” – It's Better in the Dark Mar 6, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 43% 3/5 EDIT “There may not be a lot beneath the surface, but How to Make a Killing is more than just a way to kill time” – It's Better in the Dark Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% 3/5 EDIT “Every scene where someone doesn't die feels like it's slowing things down.” – It's Better in the Dark Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% 3/5 EDIT “What this aspires to - and largely achieves - is a kind of mature crime vibe, a noir-ish tale of people pushed into situations they didn't choose because of circumstances and a general sense that the rich folks up on the hill don't want to share” – It's Better in the Dark Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Addition (2024) 60% 3.5/5 EDIT “Grace is a strong central character who could easily have anchored either a bubbly rom-com or a more sombre look at her struggles. But Addition never gives anyone else in her orbit enough air to breathe” – ScreenHub Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% 3.5/5 EDIT “Nothing here is remotely realistic, and yet it never quite leans into embracing the excesses of the story. Its strengths are scattered, coming through in isolated moments and stray glances.” – It's Better in the Dark Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% EDIT “Director Sam Raimi is up to his old tricks, and he cranks up the energy here to create a highly entertaining story that never feels like it's just two people hanging around on a beach” – It's Better in the Dark Feb 1, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “Ralph Fiennes' big dance number alone is worth the price of admission; the rest of the film is a surprisingly low-key and thoughtful take on being caring in the face of destruction (plus some people are skinned alive)” – It's Better in the Dark Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “This is a film that gradually locks everything down, leaving nothing to chance or interpretation. Some subjects require this level of hand-holding: something as universal as grief, not so much” – It's Better in the Dark Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% 3/5 EDIT “Christy starts out flat on the canvas and never gets up” – It's Better in the Dark Jan 8, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% EDIT “Paul Feig plays this adaptation pretty much note-perfect, slowly ramping up the campy thrills, taking this from a relatively straight thriller to something a lot wilder and smarter” – It's Better in the Dark Dec 25, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's the kind of story that escalates rather than innovates. For once, Pandora doesn't seem like a place where there's something new around every corner. ” – It's Better in the Dark Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 24% 3/5 EDIT “The whole thing is pitched at a level where it's difficult to know what to focus on, which is possibly a strength as nothing here is worth your full attention” – It's Better in the Dark Dec 14, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 76% EDIT “Despite always taking its ridiculous premise seriously, Eternity has a bubbly sense of humour that manages to breath a little life into love after death” – It's Better in the Dark Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% EDIT “It's a surprisingly entertaining adventure of a kind Hollywood doesn't make anywhere often enough” – It's Better in the Dark Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “Grande and Erivo are pretty much carrying this, and they're easily the strongest elements here (aside from the set design, which remains gorgeous). Both wring every drop of emotion out of characters drawn in broad strokes” – It's Better in the Dark Nov 19, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 3/5 EDIT “The pace is where Wright really succeeds here; the film moves fast enough to keep you leaning in, rushing past points where the story or setting feel just a little flimsy” – It's Better in the Dark Nov 16, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 61% 3/5 EDIT “The result is a hangout movie best experienced as a chance to watch a group of good-looking airheads run around trading quips while everything around them is either glamourous, fake or a chance to make cops and security guards look silly.” – It's Better in the Dark Nov 16, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% EDIT “A big part of why Predator: Badlands works is that it's running against what you'd expect to get from a Predator film - but it never just ignores the franchise's violent past” – It's Better in the Dark Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 87% EDIT “Stone and Plemons find the humanity in characters that are often little more than debating points, giving this offbeat mix of environmental concern and unhinged conspiracy some much-needed grounding.” – It's Better in the Dark Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 3/5 EDIT “If this could have somehow just focused solely on how someone puts together a record as memorable as Nebraska, it might have been something special. At least the music - of which there is plenty - is always ready to lift things up” – It's Better in the Dark Oct 26, 2025 Full Review
