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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Cleaner, 2025 – ★★

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

Lux Æterna, 2019 – ★★

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