The Unthinkable, 2018 – ★★★

Grounded and intense, it paints a chillingly believable picture of societal collapse. Imperfect, but its realism leaves a strong impression.

It Feeds, 2025 – ★★

Has the bones of a good creature feature but drags too often to build real tension. A few eerie moments can’t save the sluggish pace.

Mickey 17, 2025 – ★★★

Ambitious and full of potential, it keeps you intrigued but never quite delivers the punch it promises. Almost great — just missing that final spark.

Drop, 2025 – ★★★

A clever premise keeps things engaging, and the ride is fun if you’re into high-concept setups. Just don’t expect the title to fully cash its check.

The Monkey, 2025 – ★★

Swings between horror, grief, and comedy without ever finding the right branch to land on. Uneven pacing and tonal whiplash keep it from being more than a curiosity.

Cold Fish, 2010 – ★★★

It started off really strong, but I have no idea why it needed to be 2.5 hours—the middle dragged quite a bit. Thankfully, the wild ending helped bring it back around.

Opus, 2025 – ★★

Visually slick and full of mood, but it meanders without much payoff. Ends up feeling more like a vibe experiment than a fully formed narrative.

The Ambulance, 1990 – ★★★

A cheesy blend of suspense and camp with a gloriously dated style. It’s uneven but fun, and the sheer strangeness keeps it from ever getting dull.

Shark Lake, 2015 – ★★

Outside of a few fun B-movie moments, there’s not much bite here. Worth a glance for fans of Sara Malakul Lane, but otherwise skippable.

The Last Breath, 2024 – ★★

Tension deflates quickly when every decision feels like a bad one. There’s atmosphere, but it’s hard to care when the cast keeps making the worst choices possible.

Novocaine, 2025 – ★★★

Leans into its bloody setup with a sharp edge and twisted humor. It’s not groundbreaking, but it drills into its concept with enough flair to keep things lively.

Heavier Trip, 2024 – ★★★

Keeps the energy up with plenty of laughs and heart. A worthy follow-up that doesn’t overstay its welcome — and honestly, a trilogy wouldn’t be the worst idea.

Heartless, 2009 – ★

A total slog from start to finish. Dull, aimless, and almost entirely devoid of anything worth remembering.
