Girl with No Mouth, 2019 – ★

The film begins with a compelling setup that promises an intriguing adventure, yet as the story unfolds, it struggles to maintain momentum and becomes increasingly difficult to engage with.

Sinphony: A Clubhouse Horror Anthology, 2022 – ★

While not the worst entry in the anthology genre, the film suffers from jarring transitions that disrupt the flow between its segments. The stories themselves, though varied, struggle to form a cohesive narrative, undermining the potential for a truly engaging experience.

King Car, 2021 – ★

This film suffers from a lack of coherent direction, making it a chore to follow and ultimately, a tedious experience. The scattered narrative prevents any meaningful engagement, leading to a disappointing viewing.

Hunt Her, Kill Her, 2022 – ★★

This decent single-location film builds steady tension, though its final act ventures into almost excessively vicious territory, testing the boundaries of its confined setting.

Fake Blood, 2017 – ★★★

While at times it leans too forcefully into its themes, the film manages to deliver a compelling, if somewhat contrived, mockumentary experience.

Sunshine, 2007 – ★★★

This film shines with its gripping exploration of human resilience and cosmic wonder, but it unexpectedly veers into a less satisfying slasher finale that detracts from its thoughtful buildup. Its profound themes and stunning visuals almost manage to outshine the jarring genre shift that concludes the journey.

Inseminoid, 1981 – ★★

The film largely consists of repetitive sequences with characters sprinting through identical hallways, which grows tiresome quickly. However, the arrival of the creatures injects some much-needed excitement into the otherwise monotonous action.

Spaghetti, 2023 – ★★★★

The film is a fun watch, though it occasionally stumbles in execution. The highlight is an undeniably bizarre scene that must be seen to be believed.
