Rite Here Rite Now, 2024 – ★★★

Having discovered GHOST only recently, they’ve quickly become one of my favorites. The high production value of the concert film sets a standard I wish more artists would follow.

Eight Eyes, 2023 – ★★★

The gritty, lo-fi vibe of this film appeals to me, even if the plot is sometimes hard to follow. Its raw charm and atmospheric intensity make for an intriguing watch despite the narrative’s lack of clarity.

Megalomaniac, 2022 – ★★

The predictability of the plot twist made this film a tough watch, diminishing the overall impact. Its lack of suspense resulted in a rather tough sit.

Yellow Dragon's Village, 2021 – ★★★

The film impresses with its inventive plot, showcasing a fresh take on its genre. With a larger budget, it’s easy to envision this creative story becoming a major hit.

There's Something Wrong with the Children, 2023 – ★

This film lacks originality, shamefully ripping off the far superior “Here Comes The Devil” without adding any daring or distinct elements of its own. Its reluctance to visually depict its monsters further dilutes any potential for genuine scares or intrigue.

The Prodigy, 2019 – ★★

This film follows a familiar formula, delivering predictable scares without adding anything new to the horror genre landscape of its time. It’s a typical entry that fails to stand out amidst its contemporaries.

Day of the Dead, 1985 – ★★★★

Spectacular creature effects enhance the riveting exploration of human resilience and evolution, making each viewing a deeper appreciation of the characters’ compelling arcs. The film masterfully balances visceral horror with poignant, character-driven storytelling.

Love Lies Bleeding, 2024 – ★★★

The film delves deeply into the lives of fringe characters, weaving a narrative that crescendos with explosive violence, a familiar hallmark of A24 that may not surprise fans of the genre. Its visual storytelling and character exploration, while beautifully crafted, tread familiar ground, offering little in the way of new...
