Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
(2026)
|
Kat Hughes
|
Doing just enough to please the fans of the original, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come has an overreliance on familiarity, which dulls its sparkle a little too much.

Neon has truly never looked better on screen than in Drew Kirsch’s He Bled Neon. A feature debut that shows plenty of promise, this engaging crime Vegas crime thriller is certainly worth keeping an eye out for.

Fifteen
(2026)

A monstrous tale of the bond of friendship and the pain its dissolution can bring, Fifteen is equal parts Ginger Snaps and Eighth Grade, making it a coming-of-age horror that nails both the high-school politics and the horror.

Not quite as fun as the premise teases and tonally a tad loose in formation, Don’t Let the Cat Out is greatest when leaning into its camper and more outrageous side.
