Bulk, 2025 – ★★

I can appreciate the ambition and willingness to take big creative risks, even if the story never connected with me. It reaches for something different,…

Lee Cronin's The Mummy, 2026 – ★★

Loud from start to finish, but somehow never exciting. The ugly visuals wear out their welcome, the action blurs together, and there’s almost no sense…

Faces of Death, 1978 – ★★★

More exhausting than shocking at this point. Its reputation far outweighs the experience, and sitting through it feels more like checking off a box than…

Faces of Death, 2026 – ★★

The concept is clever, but it leans too heavily on the original’s reputation. Modern audiences don’t have the same connection to what made the first…

Sharks in the middle of a hurricane? I’m buying a ticket every time. The movie knows exactly how ridiculous its premise is and has fun…

Whistle, 2025 – ★★★

Just turn your brain off and enjoy the ride. The story is paper-thin, but the pacing stays brisk and the set pieces are fun enough…

Send Help, 2026 – ★★★

You can feel Sam Raimi’s fingerprints all over it, but it never fully cuts loose. The survival setup is engaging and the pacing stays steady,…
