The Medium, 2021 – ★★
Strong atmosphere can’t make up for the sluggish pacing and overextended runtime. Not enough substance to justify the sprawl.

Disturbing, gripping, and elevated by a haunting turn from Sally Hawkins. Another chilling, masterful outing that lingers long after.
Slow and aimless, it builds to a reveal that feels more like a shrug than a payoff. Leaves you wondering why you bothered.
Hilariously awful movie made legendary by razor-sharp riffing—one of the show’s finest hours of absurd fun.
Intriguing ideas and eerie style, but it meanders without ever hitting a satisfying stride. Feels like it’s missing a final act.
Starts strong with a unique hook, but the weight of its ambition trips it up. Still, it’s an interesting misstep.
A bloody welcome back that shakes off the dust with new tricks and gruesome flair—fans should be pleased with the carnage.
Snaps back with inventive kills and a clever final twist—proof there’s still life in the formula when done right.
Lacks the creativity and suspense of the earlier films—feels more like a placeholder than a proper sequel.
Stylish, savage, and packed with that early 2000s charm—it’s the most fun and rewatchable entry in the series.
Sets the bar with a jaw-dropping opener and keeps the tension high throughout—a near-perfect sequel that ups the ante in all the right ways.
Inventive, tense, and a lot of fun—still delivers the thrills even if the Y2K fashion doesn’t.
Thorough and informative. A must for fans, but casual viewers might find it a bit much.
Feels more manufactured than thrilling, straining to build a franchise that just doesn’t have the weight to carry it.
