Writer and director Taratoa Stappard’s feature film debut may be obvious in its trajectory but satisfying. More please. It would make a terrific double feature with "Is She Is"

The Chaplain & the Doctor
(2025)
|
Sarah Vincent

While it is always wonderful to see a system work and coworkers getting along, it is unclear what Dr. Zitter hoped to accomplish with this poignant film. If it is to memorialize a relationship, then it worked.

The Devil Wears Prada 2
(2026)
|
Sarah Vincent

"The Devil Wears Prada 2" (2026) is the rare perfect sequel that deviates from the source material and finds some optimism without pulling punches about how things have changed for the worse twenty years later.

Hokum
(2026)
|
Sarah Vincent

"Hokum" (2026) will be a delightful surprise reminiscent of Stephen King’s work ("1432," "The Shining") combined with quotidian horror grounded in today’s statistics about common ways that people die.

Faces of Death
(2026)
|
Sarah Vincent

erreira may be my latest favorite final girl, but either Montgomery and/or director and cowriter Daniel Goldhaber and cowriter Isa Mazzei overdid the killer in a way that seemed ridiculous, not chilling inexplicable evil.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy

prepared to be grossed out, see older people and children go through the ringer and enjoy the mummy aesthetic mixed with signs of possession, this movie is for you, but Cronin kind of loses the plot on the way without a consistent, relatable protagonist

Deep Water
(2026)
|

"Deep Water" (2026) is Renny Harlin’s latest shark flick, which is no instant classic like "Deep Blue Sea" (1999), but is reportedly more entertaining and better quality than his latest horror trilogy, "The Strangers" prequels.

You need an attention span and a desire to read subtitles for this film, but it is well worth it. It is another film that captures true government terror unlike "One Battle After Another" (2025).

It is a sad, predictable and ultimately uplifting story, but it also makes the BBC and BAFTA seem more like monsters for knowing as much as they do about Davidson’s story and making his life worse on a global scale after overcoming so much.
