Thriller
Pearl – Film Review
Pearl is a blood-soaked, white-knuckling horror drama with incredible character work, a razor-sharp script from Ti West, and a genuinely masterful lead performance from Mia Goth.
Emily the Criminal – Film Review
Aubrey Plaza delivers an award-worthy performance in Emily the Criminal – an excellently gripping and intense crime thriller written and directed wonderfully by John Patton Ford.
The Bad Seed Returns – Film Review
The Bad Seed Returns has some thrills sprinkled throughout and features a killer Mckenna Grace performance, but it’s ultimately a disappointingly predictable and familiar horror drama.
The Bad Seed – Film Review
There are some elements to like, but The Bad Seed is a mostly awful horror-thriller that can’t escape its Lifetime movie trappings.
Barbarian – Film Review
Barbarian is a legitimately bone-chillingly terrifying, gruesome, bizarre, and fantastically crazy horror film from Zach Cregger, who proves himself to be a master behind the camera.
Beast – Film Review
Beast may feature a strong Idris Elba performance, but it’s an otherwise painfully flat survival thriller that we’ve seen done before countless times.
Fall – Film Review
Fall is the most uncomfortable moviegoing experience you’ll have all year in the best way possible. Scott Mann’s direction is sublime and the lead performances are gripping.

Haunt – Film Review
Scott Beck and Bryan Woods’ Haunt is a devilishly entertaining and violent haunted house-style horror film even if it suffers from poor pacing.
The Neon Demon – Film Review
The Neon Demon is a neon-drenched exercise in unease, directed excellently by Nicolas Winding Refn and featuring a stellar lead performance from Elle Fanning.
