Blue Heron
(2025)
|
Mike McGranaghan

At roughly the 45-minute mark, Blue Heron goes from being one of the year’s best films to one of the year’s most frustrating films.

Far from being the bloodiest or goriest horror picture out there, it manages to freak you out through suggestion, although a couple A+ jump scares help, too.

RZA's One Spoon of Chocolate

Deep Water

The refusal to water down (no pun intended) the devastating impact of both the crash and the shark attacks guarantees you get the satisfying B-movie insanity you crave.

I would love to know what the people who made the animated Animal Farm were thinking when they embarked upon this endeavor. Here is a movie so misguided that its existence doesn’t make sense.
