THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% EDIT “Despite Buckley and Bale arriving ready for madness, The Bride! only fleetingly rises to their level.” – The Spool Mar 13, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 72% EDIT “No need to track down ancient demons or listen to nursery rhymes backwards to figure out why undertone never reaches its full potential. Tuason’s rudimentary narrative impulses are the primary problem.” – The Spool Mar 13, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “Offering up such a fresh tableau really lets DaCosta’s filmmaking instincts soar, particularly in a bombastic climactic set piece that’s nothing short of enthralling.” – The Spool Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% EDIT “Primate’s weird screenwriting problems are especially exasperating as the monkey, er, ape business is far better-than-expected.” – The Spool Jan 10, 2026 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% EDIT “[Dust Bunny's] full of vibrant images and aesthetics that a fresh wave of audiences can call their own.” – The Spool Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% EDIT “Unfortunately, [Paul Feig's] straightforward visual sensibilities rob The Housemaid of the unpredictability it needs to flourish as a trashy thriller.” – The Spool Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 87% EDIT “Writer/director Chloé Zhao’s latest cinematic triumph, Hamnet, unflinchingly chronicles corporal agony.” – The Spool Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “[T]he film geek in me couldn’t ignore how Chu’s cinematic vision too often lacks verve.” – The Spool Dec 2, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 98% EDIT “[A] remarkably crafted production rife with extraordinary performances, imagery, and even a smattering of deftly executed comedic moments.” – The Spool Dec 2, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% EDIT “The revolution may start with The Running Man, but it is a stumbling beginning.” – The Spool Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Theater Is Dead (2025) EDIT “A movie that once breezed along at a good clip now juggles way too many narrative elements for its own good.” – The Spool Nov 1, 2025 Full Review CAMP (2025) 94% EDIT “valon Fast’s attempt to make Ginger Snaps/Jennifer’s Body/Raw by way of Lost Highway is better as individual pieces than as a cohesive whole” – The Spool Nov 1, 2025 Full Review A Useful Ghost (2025) 86% EDIT “Boonbunchachoke keeps things inspired right until the intentionally abrupt cut to credits.” – The Spool Nov 1, 2025 Full Review The Restoration at Grayson Manor (2025) 100% EDIT “If there’s a problem, though, it’s that McQuaid and Chapman can’t come up with a fittingly bizarre or darkly hysterical finale to wrap everything up.” – The Spool Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “[T]here’s a shocking dearth of vigor.” – The Spool Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% EDIT “Good Fortune’s low-key tempo is sometimes competent but not very impactful. Not even the charms of Keanu Reeves and Keke Palmer can minimize that reality.” – The Spool Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% EDIT “Cianfrance can’t quite nail his own feat of transitioning from Blue Valentine bleakness to crowd-pleaser cinema.” – The Spool Oct 8, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “One Battle After Another’s virtues would enthrall in any era.” – The Spool Sep 26, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 31% EDIT “[S]tagnancy epitomizes HIM’s greatest sin. It’s a buttoned-up movie struggling to channel freak impulses.” – The Spool Sep 19, 2025 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 37% EDIT “Throughout A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, there’s often too much exposition or self-referential “isn’t this weird?” quips.” – The Spool Sep 19, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% EDIT “Accentuating the compelling nature of The Long Walk is its sterling collection of performances.” – The Spool Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Honey Don't! (2025) 45% EDIT “Alas, Honey Don’t!, while not devoid of Ethan Coen charms or queer gal joys, left even this lesbian cinema lover cold.” – The Spool Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Ne Zha II (2025) 91% EDIT “It recalls Hellboy II: The Golden Army or Evil Dead II as a sequel that drastically improves on the original.” – The Spool Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Nobody 2 (2025) 76% EDIT “Unfortunately, serious storm clouds harsh Nobody 2’s sunny action vibes, courtesy of Derek Kolstad and Aaron Rabin’s overly cluttered screenplay.” – The Spool Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Saiyaara (2025) 63% EDIT “Going all-in on Kapoor in the third act is extra strange screenwriting decision considering Saiyaara has been filtered through Batra’s eyes up to this point. Drastically recentering the story’s focal point isn’t a gambit that pays off at all. ” – The Spool Aug 12, 2025 Full Review
