The Strangers: Chapter 3, 2026 – ★
A trilogy finale that doubles down on what didn’t work. The stripped-down approach feels empty instead of tense, and the repetition kills any impact. No…

The Other Lamb, 2019 – ★★
Another isolated cult drama that mistakes stillness for depth. The woodland setting looks great, but the pacing drifts and the themes feel undercooked. A few…
The Fetus, 2025 – ★★
Familiar beats carry it, but a few seasoned horror faces add some life when it starts to drag. Not much new, just mildly watchable.
Ms .45, 1981 – ★★★★
A grimy, propulsive revenge ride that still hits hard. The pacing is tight, the tone is mean as hell, and the silent lead performance is…
The Banishing, 2020 – ★★
The pacing is sluggish, the scares are tame, and it never finds its own identity.
The Lie, 2018 – ★
Every choice somehow manages to be the worst possible one. The script bends reality just to keep the mess going, and the forced “serious” tone…
Mercy, 2026 – ★★
The premise does most of the heavy lifting – an AI judge with a 90-minute countdown is genuinely interesting on paper. But once the structure…
Found Footage: The Making of the Patterson Project, 2025 – ★★★
Takes its time setting the table, almost too much, but once it clicks the meta angle becomes genuinely fun.
Forbidden World, 1982 – ★★★
Scrappy, sleazy sci-fi that leans hard on atmosphere and creature effects. The pacing is uneven and the budget shows, but the grimy tone and practical…
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, 2026 – ★★★★
A massive step up, with performances that actually carry the weight this time. The tension feels earned, the pacing is sharp, and it finally balances…
Arsenal, 2017 – ★★
Leans hard on that chaotic Nicolas Cage energy, but it feels like a retread without the spark. The pacing drags, the story barely holds together,…
The Girl in the Photographs, 2015 – ★★
Spins its wheels for most of the runtime, with flat characters and sluggish pacing. Then it finally wakes up with a nasty, bloody finale that…
Primate, 2025 – ★★★
Exactly the kind of chaotic creature feature it promises. The setup is predictable, but the pacing keeps things moving and the creature work delivers enough…
Mansion of the Living Dead, 1982 – ★★★
A sleazy, sun-baked zombie curio that’s more vibes than story. Franco drags his feet, but the eerie island setting and bizarre atmosphere keep it watchable.…
