Touch Me (2025) 90% 8/10 EDIT “Even as Heimann spends plenty of time rounding out his central characters, he doesn't focus all of his attention there, also making Touch Me a truly out-of-this-world visual experience.” – Screen Rant Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Tow (2025) 81% 6/10 EDIT “It's something of a disappointment that the film, as a whole, fails to live up to Byrne's great work in it. But it's certainly not a bad film.” – Screen Rant Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Kill Me (2026) 100% 9/10 EDIT “Day shines, giving one of his best performances yet in a film that is just as emotionally raw as it is funny.” – Screen Rant Mar 13, 2026 Full Review The Gates (2026) 55% 3/10 EDIT “The film wants so badly to be a timely exploration of racial and class divisions, but it's so lacking in nuance, subtlety, or intrigue that it not only proves to be aggressively on the nose, but also woefully devoid of any kind of thrills. ” – Screen Rant Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Slanted (2025) 68% 8/10 EDIT “Infused with a sharp exploration of the immigrant experience in America and a smattering of such high school tropes as mean-girl cliques and prom queen competitions, the movie is a wonderfully bonkers ride.” – Screen Rant Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Protector (2025) 19% 4/10 EDIT “But while it has a mix of fresh and familiar concepts, Protector ultimately still feels too routine to stand out from the crowd.” – Screen Rant Mar 6, 2026 Full Review Dolly (2025) 62% 4/10 EDIT “More troublesome is just how thinly written Dolly's script is. Making the leap from a short to a feature-length story is certainly no easy task, and Blackhurst and Weavil do a few engaging things with the longer material.” – Screen Rant Mar 4, 2026 Full Review The Mortuary Assistant (2026) 38% 6/10 EDIT “...with the terror never really registering and overstuffing its short runtime with lore, the movie feels like a throwback to the ambitious-yet-mediocre days of the video game adaptation genre.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review 12 Monkeys (1995) 88% 10/10 EDIT “Even more supportive of the script's twisty nature is the mesmerizing direction from Gilliam. Utilizing the same hyperstylized art design he had on Brazil, the Oscar nominee brought a haunting feel to the apocalyptic future.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review The Hateful Eight (2015) 74% 9/10 EDIT “The tension simmers perfectly through the whole film, even after what appears to be the occasional reprieve, and with a cast at the top of their game, and direction that never feels like it's distracting from the core excitement.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Night of the Reaper (2025) 77% 4/10 EDIT “It doesn't really have enough going for it to stand apart from its genre counterparts. It's a fairly slow, low-stakes journey that, despite its interesting ending twists, never has enough of a hook to feel like more than a slasher retread.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review The Jester 2 (2025) 4/10 EDIT “In his apparent effort to pull from the success of Terrifier 2, he learned the wrong lessons regarding mythology pacing and crafting a compelling final girl, making this slasher sequel another learning experience rather than a celebration.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Bang Bang (2024) 82% 8/10 EDIT “Janowitz's script has lots of potential to break free from its trope-filled genre, and has moments of doing so, but if it weren't for the great performances at the forefront, it'd be easy to become disillusioned with the darker parts of the film.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Whisper of the Witch (2024) 4/10 EDIT “The haunted object formula actually has some proper stakes, while the imagery proves memorable enough. Yet its clumsy story, bizarre character choices, and awful dubbing turn it into a truly messy affair.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Lurker (2025) 95% 9/10 EDIT “In addition to providing a great script, Russell proves to have an excellent eye in the director's chair. He and cinematographer Pat Scola nicely mix a range of visual styles for their scenes, making particular use of handheld close-ups.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review V for Vendetta (2005) 73% 8/10 EDIT “With McTeigue and cinematographer Adrian Biddle also making some of the more emotionally powerful scenes feel just as grand, V for Vendetta remains an absolute treasure to watch 20 years later.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Mission: Impossible (1996) 67% 8/10 EDIT “De Palma delivered some great imagery for future filmmakers. Even as the stakes in the film continue to rise and the set pieces become bigger, he never forgets to keep the characters in the forefront of the camera to make the film feel intimate.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Jaws (1975) 97% 10/10 EDIT “While Spielberg's stylish direction and the haunting shark may be what initially draws us back to watch the film, it's the excellent performances of Jaws' cast that keep us hooked from start to finish. ” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Lake Jesup: Bonecrusher's Revenge (2025) 3/10 EDIT “Where Steven Spielberg's Jaws hid its shark villain due to practical production issues and a desire to build tension, it seems they tried to hide Bonecrusher for most of Gator Lake simply because they didn't spend enough money on a good-looking puppet.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) 95% 5/10 EDIT “It's really disappointing how much of a mess Predator: Killer of Killers is by comparison to Prey. It's a directionless way to continue the franchise and tide audiences over while they wait for Badlands' release.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Nonnas (2025) 82% 7/10 EDIT “Featuring everything from handmade pasta to beautifully rolled cannolis and even the unique delicacy of capuzzelle, I could practically smell the kitchen through the screen, and it certainly kept me hooked on hanging out with the movie's charming cast.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review The Trouble with Jessica (2023) 59% 3/10 EDIT “Despite all of their posturing about morality and ethics, there are few moments that allow us to sympathize or empathize with them, adding up to a largely frustrating escalation of events and character moments.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review The Grove (2025) 1/10 EDIT “White lacks any real charisma, emotion, or humor. He follows in the footsteps of Tommy Wiseau in putting himself at the forefront of the film in the belief of authentically playing his lead role while also having steamy scenes with his co-star.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) 72% 8/10 EDIT “With the film oscillating between a darkly humorous take on aging to a genuinely unsettling psychological thriller, it's important to have actors who navigate that tightrope well, and Ashcroft couldn't have chosen better than when casting John Lithgow.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Rock Springs (2026) 70% 6/10 EDIT “Rock Springs is an unfortunate mixed bag... The themes she highlights are relevant and admirable, and she has a great cast, but in failing to make a cohesive whole of her different halves, it's hard to invest in her tackling of generational trauma.” – Screen Rant Feb 12, 2026 Full Review
