Thriller
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.
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.
