The Green Inferno, 2013 – ★★

Revisiting this film, I still find the dialogue and attempts at humor lacking, but it excels visually and maintains a brisk pace. Its striking cinematography keeps the experience engaging despite its flaws.

Longlegs, 2024 – ★★★★

The film is incredibly creepy and tense, making for a gripping experience best enjoyed with no prior knowledge. Nicolas Cage delivers a standout performance worthy of at least an Oscar nomination.

Death Game, 1977 – ★★★★

This 70s grindhouse gem is criminally underseen, deserving far more recognition for its bold storytelling. Sondra Locke and Colleen Camp deliver wildly unhinged performances that truly steal the show.

Oddity, 2024 – ★★

The film treads familiar ground, offering nothing we haven’t seen countless times before. The unsatisfying ending only adds to the overall disappointment.

The Outlaws, 2017 – ★★★

The compelling performances by Ma Dong-seok and Yoon Kye-sang elevate the film, making it an engaging experience from start to finish. Their strong presence has me eager to check out the other films in this series.

Alien: Romulus, 2024 – ★★★★

Initially, I was torn between giving it 1 or 4 stars, but after some thought, it definitely deserves 4 stars for capturing the 1970s retro-futuristic aesthetic perfectly. Alvarez’s bold direction and commitment to the style make it a standout entry in the series.

Cocaine Werewolf, 2024 – ★★

Even by Mark Polonia standards, this film feels like a low-effort endeavor, lacking the usual charm of his work. The minimal effort put into the production makes it hard to find anything redeeming.

The Stabilizer, 1986 – ★★

The stunts and questionable acting offer some fun moments, but they fall short of their full potential. I found myself wishing they had pushed the envelope just a bit more to make it truly memorable.

The Pink Cloud, 2021 – ★★

After the intriguing premise wears off, there’s little to hold your interest. The film struggles to maintain engagement, leaving it feeling somewhat flat.

Blood Conscious, 2021 – ★★

The one redeeming quality of this film is Nick Damici’s dedicated performance; he never phones it in, even when the material falls flat. His effort is the only thing keeping this movie remotely watchable.

We Are Zombies, 2023 – ★★

The script felt a bit undercooked, leading to a movie that often struggled with uneven pacing and tone. Despite some interesting moments, it never quite finds its footing.

Guyver: Dark Hero, 1994 – ★★★

This sequel offers a stronger story than the first, but the two-hour runtime tests your patience. Despite its improvements, the pacing makes it a bit of a slog to get through.

ZEF – The Story of Die Antwoord, 2024 – ★★

This film feels more like a propaganda piece aimed at rehabilitating the band’s tarnished image rather than an honest documentary. The lack of critical outsude perspective makes it hard to take seriously.

The Gingerdead Man, 2005 – ★

This film marks a real low point for Full Moon Pictures, offering little in the way of entertainment. The lack of fun makes it a disappointing experience overall.
