Tell-Tale, 2009 – ★★

Wastes a strong lineup on a forgettable script. It’s all moody buildup with little payoff, and never gives its actors much to work with.

The Primevals, 2023 – ★★★

Overflowing with old-school charm and creature feature creativity. Rough around the edges, but it’s a heartfelt tribute that earns its place.

Out of Darkness, 2022 – ★★★

An atmospheric survival tale with a unique setting that begs for more stories. Not flawless, but refreshingly different from the usual fare.

Doghouse, 2009 – ★★★

Starts off rocky, but once it finds its groove, it’s a bloody good time with plenty of cheeky charm and genre fun.

The Night House, 2020 – ★★

Nicely crafted and well-acted, but emotionally distant and hard to connect with. Despite the talent behind it, this one left me cold.

Cleaner, 2025 – ★★

Promising setup quickly fades into mediocrity. Solid concept squandered on a script that never digs deep enough.

The Maid, 2020 – ★★

Mostly forgettable with a final act that nearly redeems it. Too little, too late — but there’s a spark buried in the last few moments.

Lux Æterna, 2019 – ★★

Stylized chaos with a runtime that’s mercifully brief. Visually bold but narratively thin, it mostly tests your endurance.

Inexorable, 2021 – ★★★

Tense and elegantly twisted, it creeps along with quiet dread. Another dark gem from a director who knows how to unnerve.

Adoration, 2019 – ★★★

Unsettling and poetic, it explores obsession and innocence with an eerie intensity that stays under your skin.

Till Death, 2021 – ★★

Takes a good premise and squanders it with clunky execution and unintentional laughs. Too silly to take seriously, too dull to enjoy ironically.

Bull, 2021 – ★★★

Lean, mean, and brutally effective—it hits all the right notes for a revenge tale without wasting a second.
