Lowlifes, 2024 – ★★

Lowlifes falls short of expectations, delivering an uninspired and clichéd narrative that fails to offer anything fresh or innovative to the genre.

Infested, 2023 – ★★★

Infested impresses with its well-crafted tension and effective horror elements, showcasing the director’s talent and setting high expectations for their future work, particularly in the upcoming Evil Dead movie.

Vice Academy 5, 1996 – ★★★

Embracing the 90s with a VR villain, this installment continues to entertain, especially with the ongoing subplot involving the Commissioner and Ms. Devonshire.

Vice Academy Part 2, 1990 – ★★★

Spanish Fly stands out as a fun villain, and despite Quigley’s departure, Elizabeth Kaitain does a commendable job as her replacement for the rest of the series.

Too Late, 2021 – ★

Too Late fails to resonate, offering an insufferable portrayal of the alternative comedy scene that struggles to engage viewers with its tedious narrative and uninteresting characters.

Silent Night, 2023 – ★★

In a post-John Wick landscape, its style feels overly familiar and lacking in innovation. While Woo’s directorial flair shines through, the film struggles to carve out its own identity in a genre saturated with similar offerings.

Dr. Alien, 1989 – ★★★

Dr. Alien revels in its 90s aesthetic, embracing the era’s quirks with nostalgic charm while delivering a delightfully silly plot that never takes itself too seriously. With its tongue planted firmly in cheek, the film offers a lighthearted romp through sci-fi absurdity that’s sure to entertain fans of retro cinema.

Jailbait, 2014 – ★★★★

Jailbait whizzes by with breakneck speed, hitting every prison cliche like rapid-fire punches, leaving audiences in stitches with its unintended comedic energy.

Vice Academy, 1989 – ★★★

Probably the highest budgeted movie of the whole series, with Linnea Quigley and Ginger Lynn Allen delivering some genuinely funny moments, although Queen Bee is the least interesting villain of the series.

Late Night with the Devil, 2023 – ★★★

Late Night With The Devil boasts a compelling premise with its live TV broadcast concept, but its decision to mix in other perspectives dilutes the intensity and immediacy of the format, ultimately detracting from the film’s overall impact. Despite this, standout performances and moments of dark humor still make it...

Immaculate, 2024 – ★★★

Sydney Sweeney delivers a captivating performance in Immaculate, bringing depth and authenticity to her character. However, the movie’s ending feels rushed and leaves several crucial plot points unresolved, ultimately detracting from the overall impact of the story.
