Hokum (2026) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Hokum thankfully doesn't live up to the implications of its title, a sinister slow-burn expertly building dreadful folk horror flourishes atop subtexts on the kindness of strangers. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) May 5, 2026 Full Review Obsession (2025) 96% 3.5/5 EDIT “In Obsession, love meanings always having to say you're sorry, as Curry Barker delves into upsetting, nightmarish exaggeration of how our projected desire can have the propensity to overwhelm, degrade, and ultimately destroy...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 30, 2026 Full Review Blue Film (2025) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Blue Film is a rare cinematic unicorn in that it vaults over the moral high ground and stop gaps assigned to visualizations of human nature instead to wallow in the uncomfortable reality of blurred boundaries...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 30, 2026 Full Review Deep Water (2026) 73% 2.5/5 EDIT “The water might be deep but the storytelling techniques are not in Deep Water, Renny Harlin's action packed survival thriller which sees the director returning to shark infested territory in this calamitous but well-paced cheese. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 30, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% 2/5 EDIT “Various themes of deeper resonance (dematerialization of contemp. industry and architecture) are scuttled by frantic velocity in the nonsensical narrative...its beloved characters resurrected as desiccated corpses propped up in a bejeweled straitjacket. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 30, 2026 Full Review Fuze (2025) 73% 2/5 EDIT “Mackenzie's pulpy, workman-like heist thriller Fuze eventually fizzles thanks to a convoluted plot overwhelming substandard and overtly nefarious characterizations from a principle cast who seem forced to rely on the appeal of...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 39% 2.5/5 EDIT “Fuqua's steering of Michael Jackson's trajectory is a heartfelt homage to his incomparable talents but is ultimately a glossy slice of fan fiction deftly navigated by a fantastic Jaafar Jackson. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Apex (2026) 67% 2/5 EDIT “Kormakur's familiar survival thriller is so lean on narrative it feels absolutely skeletal, squandering the weirdness of its villain to satisfy a derivative sense of empty catharsis. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Over Your Dead Body (2026) 68% 3/5 EDIT “Segel and Weaving are odd but charming bedfellows in this dark cuckold comedy, dependably conveying how the couple that slays together stays together - but not much else. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 3/5 EDIT “Buoyed by a sense of humankind's propensity for hope even when faced with certain demise, Project Hail Mary is a crowd pleasing odd couple melodrama leaning heavily on sentimentality, sometimes to its detriment. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Dolly (2025) 62% 2.5/5 EDIT “As far as backwoods horror films go, Dolly is running on empty story wise, but Blackhurst channels the grimy, grainy ambience of 70s charnel house terror well enough to tolerate its existence. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 74% 2/5 EDIT “Blah, Blah, horror film Have you anything to say? Yes sir, yes sir And in the simplest way” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Slanted (2025) 68% 2/5 EDIT “A provocative conception reveals itself to be disappointingly skin deep in Slanted, reifying the insidiousness of white privilege while also simultaneously ignoring the ingrained Eurocentric beauty standards actually inspiring the protagonist's...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 56% 1/5 EDIT “Colleen Hoover returns with more deviance and dysfunction defining her commonplace and woefully simple working class heterosexual characters who exist in the morbid realm of a Lifetime film and yet always ascend to the horizon of a Hallmark card greeting.” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review The Gates (2026) 48% 2.5/5 EDIT “Too many odd and sometimes jarring choices tend to mar an otherwise tense and unfortunately pertinent thriller concerning the realities of bigotry and religious charlatans. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 74% 2/5 EDIT “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come may retain the devil-may-care posturing of its predecessor but this cash grab sequel lazily repeats the same template, and if there's anything blasphemous to Beelzebub, it's making him boring. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Tow (2025) 77% 2/5 EDIT “Rose Byrne leads a formidable cast in Tow, a glossy sitcom treatment of enormous disparity requiring a bit more grit to properly convey the kitchen sink miserabilism and mental health issues lurking underneath a hollow David v. Goliath triumph. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) 76% 2/5 EDIT “Nostalgia itself is not a subtext upon which to pointlessly center a comedic narrative, especially when the final product also happens to be as joyless, generic, and inconsequential as Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% 3/5 EDIT “Though more silly than sinister, They Will Kill You at least justifies the definitive promise of its title while the familiarity and ludicrousness of its narrative are often ameliorated by a vibrant Zazie Beetz...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% 4/5 EDIT “Kristoffer Borgli returns with another heightened exercise on our implicit obsession and socially codified need to control the narrative of how are perceived while also examining how humans are constantly compromised by the performative hypocrisy...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% 3/5 EDIT “While Goldhaber's call back to the cult classic franchise could never dream to match the infamy of its inspiration in the social media age, it's a serviceable serial killer thriller elevated by a compelling lead performance. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review The Christophers (2025) 96% 3/5 EDIT “Michaela Cole and Ian McKellen forge a compelling chemistry as the odd couple centering Soderbergh's comedic drama The Christophers which is much about embracing authenticity in the creative realm as it is the critical. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review You, Me & Tuscany (2026) 66% 2.5/5 EDIT “Formula without flavor makes for a stale exercise with You, Me & Tuscany, where the vibrant garnish provided by a lovely supporting cast only highlights the sparks missing between the bland blustering explored by boring lead characters. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Normal (2025) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Wheatley lassoes Odenkirk's alternate action persona in Normal, a noir-tinged Western of sorts which feels like the Coen Bros. version of The Wicker Man...” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Mother Mary (2026) 72% 3.5/5 EDIT “Lowery's psychodrama soap opera may bite off more than it can metaphorically chew, but a wounded, glowering Michaela Cole elevates this moody, melancholic expiation beyond the confines of glittery pop-icon artifice. ” – Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Apr 17, 2026 Full Review
