Faceless After Dark, 2023 – ★★

The film had an interesting concept but never quite reached its full potential, leaving me wanting more. While it had moments of promise, it ultimately fell short of delivering a satisfying experience.

The Devil Inside, 2012 – ★

This movie stands out as one of the laziest and most boring experiences I’ve had in a while. The ending takes the cake for being completely nonsensical and utterly disappointing.

Sixty Minutes, 2024 – ★★

The movie is decent overall, but the MMA fighting scenes lack the cinematic flair needed to make them truly engaging on screen. While exciting in a live setting, they don’t translate as well to film.

Freehold, 2017 – ★★★

This film ranks as one of the most disturbing I’ve ever watched, keeping me on edge the entire time. The thrill of guessing when everything would unravel added to the twisted fun.

Killing God, 2017 – ★★★

The movie starts off strong with a fun setup and intriguing characters, leading to a satisfying dark ending. However, it loses its direction in the middle, which dampens the overall impact.

Land of Bad, 2024 – ★★★

This film is the epitome of a “dad movie,” and I couldn’t be happier about it. It’s exactly the kind of action-packed, straightforward entertainment I love.

Croc Tsunami, 2021 – ★★

There’s hardly enough happening in this film to justify its already short runtime, leaving much to be desired. However, the city rampage at the end provides a small dose of fun amidst the otherwise slow pacing.

Framed, 2017 – ★★

Though the movie is a bit of a mess, I appreciate the effort they put into using practical effects. It’s rough around the edges, but the effects add a layer of gritty charm to the chaos.

Assholes, 2017 – ★★

The title couldn’t be more fitting for this film, capturing its chaotic and abrasive nature. Despite its short runtime, the final act still manages to drag, leaving the experience feeling unnecessarily stretched.

Rebel Ridge, 2024 – ★★★

By now, you know exactly what to expect from a Saulnier film, with familiar themes and pacing throughout. While it’s solid, it might be time for him to shake things up and try something different.

Open Grave, 2013 – ★★

The film feels stretched thin, with a plot that might have been more effective as a 30-minute segment in an anthology. There’s simply not enough substance to justify its full-length runtime.

Sleep Tight, 2011 – ★★★

The film features one of the creepiest main characters I’ve encountered in years, making for an unsettling watch.
