Fear Below, 2024 – ★★★
A fresh backdrop and solid characters make this a worthwhile ride. There’s enough tension and style to keep things afloat.
A fresh backdrop and solid characters make this a worthwhile ride. There’s enough tension and style to keep things afloat.
Twisted in all the right ways and surprisingly sharp, it delivers on the promise of its premise with style, wit, and just the right amount of bite.
Leans into the slasher fun with just enough flair to rise above the pack. Not a genre game-changer, but a bloody good time compared to weaker peers like Founder’s Day.
Too stretched for its own good, with long spells of nothing that sap the tension. Any sparks of intrigue get lost in the slow drag toward a payoff that hardly feels earned.
Visually arresting and bold, but its abstract turns often undercut the emotional stakes. A more grounded approach might have made the waves hit harder.
Lacks the bite and style of the earlier entries, stumbling through familiar beats without much spark. A flat and forgettable chapter in a once-promising series.
Moves fast and hits hard, packing solid thrills and dense lore into bite-sized chunks. It’s uneven, but the energy and action keep things engaging throughout.
Exactly the kind of over-the-top, trashy fun you’d hope for — cheesy dialogue, wild action, and zero shame. A blast if you’re in the mood. Thanks Joe Bob for the reccomendation!
Strong visuals and makeup sell the horror, but the loop concept never quite reaches its full potential. Still a fun ride with solid moments.
Stylish and gripping with a killer soundtrack and a cast that brings serious heat. Everything clicks just right.
Effectively unsettling at times, but stretches a thin story too far. A tighter runtime could have made the slow burn much more potent.
Clunky choreography and wooden pacing drag down what should have been a slick, stylish ride. Even the trademark flair of Luc Besson can’t save this from feeling like Yawn Wick.
Strong acting and solid period detail help carry the weight of a story that doesn’t quite soar. It’s competent and respectful, if not particularly memorable.
Unflinching and immersive, it captures the brutality and confusion of combat with terrifying authenticity—tense, visceral, and hard to shake.
Twisted and imaginative, it injects nasty fun into familiar fairy tale beats. The grotesque visuals stand out, even when the story stumbles.
