The Uncle, 2022 – ★★★
Mean-spirited and tightly wound, it’s a grim, unsettling ride that sticks in your head long after.
Mean-spirited and tightly wound, it’s a grim, unsettling ride that sticks in your head long after.
Relentlessly tense and deeply unsettling—a masterclass in sustained dread.
Competently made and well-acted, but plays it far too safe to justify revisiting the material.
Mark Hamill shines, elevating a solid and engaging story. A strong genre outing even though I am not the biggest Stephen King fan.
Cheap, uninspired, and painfully dull—an empty cash-in with nothing to offer but frustration.
Starts off promising but crashes hard by the end—an infuriating finish to an already hollow film.
Drawn-out and repetitive, it stretches a thin idea well past its breaking point. Style without momentum.
Lifeless and filler-like, it exists only to bridge the gap to another sequel no one asked for.
Ambitious and uneven, but the effort shows—blending familiar concepts into something that’s at least engaging.
Unsettling and raw, it earns its reputation with a slow build that explodes into pure chaos. Hard to shake once it’s over.
Devastating and unforgettable—a brutal, transcendent landmark of modern horror that still cuts deep.
Polished and spooky with enough scares to satisfy—doesn’t reinvent the formula, but keeps the franchise alive and well.
Drags far past its welcome, stretching a thin premise without enough scares or energy to sustain it.
Cheap but oddly fascinating—a strange off-brand sequel that’s more weird than it has any right to be.
