Thriller
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.
Insidious – Film Review
Insidious is one of the most impressive horror films of the 2010s, serving as a genuinely bone-chilling tale of one family’s struggle to save their son from evil.
Get Away If You Can – Film Review
Get Away If You Can is an admirable effort from Dominique Braun and Terrence Martin that unfortunately fails due to it being a classic case of style over substance.

- Thriller
Vengeance – Film Review
Vengeance is a staggeringly strong directorial debut from B.J. Novak, who writes one of the year’s most gripping stories.
Orphan: First Kill – Film Review
Orphan: First Kill is a gritty, thrilling, and chillingly dark exploration of Esther’s origins, brought to life beautifully by a sharp script and a powerful performance from Isabelle Fuhrman.
They/Them – Film Review
They/Them features an admittedly creepy Kevin Bacon performance but is an otherwise horribly written slasher that fails to expand upon its interesting premise.
Bullet Train – Film Review
Bullet Train is completely overstuffed, hugely boring, highly predictable, and relies way too much on comedy that simply isn’t funny.
Prey – Film Review
With Prey, director Dan Trachtenberg injects some new life into the Predator franchise. It’s a bold, exciting, and riveting prequel and is easily the best in the series since the first.
