Rating: Not Rated Stars: Grace Collender, Clinton Liberty, Daisy Jelley, Niamh Hogan, Rhys Mannion, Oskar Smith, Charlotte Bradley, Sadbh McMullin Writer: Marco van Belle Director: Marco van Belle Distributor: Saban Films Release Date: March 14, 2026 Despite most of its main characters being streaming influencers, FEED is a straightforward and serious vampire movie. A prologue set in 1897 Ireland gives us two men wearing blindfolds carrying a bloody-faced woman, vessel of the Dearg Due (Niamh Hogan). A third blindfolded man is tapping with a stave on the side of a crypt, telling others, in Irish, to close their eyes to […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE END OF OAK STREET

THE END OF OAK STREET movie poster | ©2026 Warner Bros.

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella, Christian Convery, Jordan Alexa Davis, P.J. Byrne, Anne Gee Byrd, Emily Kuroda Writer: David Robert Mitchell Director: David Robert Mitchell Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: August 14, 2026 THE END OF OAK STREET is a giant-dinosaurs-in-suburbia movie that isn’t what we might expect from its premise. Granted, the template for this sort of thing has been pretty much set by the JURASSIC PARK franchise, so deviations should be actively encouraged. It’s just that this one feels a little odd. Apart from a Spielbergian opener that sets up the characters, and another […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE WRONG GIRLS

THE WRONG GIRLS movie poster | ©2026 Neon

Stars: Kristen Stewart, Alia Shawkat, Zack Fox, LaKeith Stanfield, Thomas La Barbera Christensen, Thor Knai, Thomas Nicholson, Kate McKinnon, Geena Davis, Morgan Krantz, Seth Rogen (voice), Kumail Nanjiani (voice), Cate Blanchett (voice) Writer: Dylan Meyer Director: Dylan Meyer Distributor: Neon Release Date: August 14, 2026 THE WRONG GIRLS has the wrong title, inasmuch as it implies this is a comedy about mistaken identity. To be fair, it is indeed a comedy, and there is an instance of mistaken identity with one woman, Frankie (Kristen Stewart). Frankie is in some ways deeply immature but not young enough to be a girl.

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Dakota Gorman, Todd Terry, Liz Atwater, Jordan Mullins, James Austin Johnson (voice) Writer: Brock Bodell Director: Brock Bodell Distributor: Shudder Release Date: August 14, 2026 (Shudder streaming) HELLCAT opens with one of those lonely stretches of highway beloved by horror movies. A truck is pulling a trailer, and a man is yelling at a woman to “get back there,” with her screaming she won’t. We learn in short order that the man is truck driver Clive (Todd Terry). The woman is Lena (Dakota Gorman). Clive abducted her earlier that night and stashed in his trailer. Clive […]Read On »

PARASOMNIA movie poster | courtesy William Malone

WILLIAM MALONE’S PARASOMNIA, written and directed by Malone, is finally available in its director’s cut on Prime Video. PARASOMNIA concerns a young woman, Laura Baxter (Cherilyn Wilson), who suffers from the rare title condition. Narcolepsy is a disorder where people fall asleep without warning, but with parasomnia, waking moments are few and far between. Laura’s condition makes her vulnerable to the control of serial killer Byron Volpe (Patrick Kilpatrick). Record store employee Danny Sloan (Dylan Purcell) attempts to come to Laura’s rescue. PARASOMNIA is unquestionably a horror movie. However, this is an instance where its distribution history may be even […]Read On »

Movie Review: TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA

Rating: R Stars: Hannah Einbinder, Gillian Anderson, Jack Haven, Amanda Fix, Patrick Fischler Writer: Jane Schoenbrun Director: Jane Schoenbrun Distributor: MUBI Release Date: August 7, 2026 Part of the fun of writer/director Jane Schoenbrun’s TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA is to spot its influences, although this is an instance of inspiration rather than derivation. The single most obvious nod here is to FRIDAY THE 13TH, mainly because nobody can comment on the summer-camp-slasher subgenre without acknowledging that seminal franchise. However, the film also tackles the SLEEPAWAY CAMP movies, which have a premise rooted in transphobia. Filmmaker Schoenbrun is […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Brandon Scott, Krsy Fox, Adam Marcinowski, Catherine Corcoran, Torio Van Grol, Kate Freund, Jordan Elsass, Radek Lord, David Howard Thornton, Tracie Thoms, Sierra McCormick, Del Howison, Angel Melanson Writer: Spider One Director: Spider One Distributor: Brainstorm Media Release Date: August 7, 2026 (streaming) Horror movies that want us to guess if one character is losing their mind or if something supernatural is going on are tough to pull off. Just a little over-emphasis in one direction or the other can not only tip off the audience too early, but it can make everything between that revelation […]Read On »

Blu-Ray Review: STRANGER THINGS: THE COMPLETE SERIES DELUXE EDITION 4K BOX SET

STRANGER THINGS: THE COMPLETE SERIES DELUXE EDITION 4K BOX SET | ©2026 Arrow Video / Netflix

Distributor: Arrow Video I have been here since the beginning. I started watching STRANGER THINGS the night it premiered on Netflix and watched ever single drop through to the finale. Sure, there were ups and downs with it, but what series (especially one as ambitious as this one) doesn’t have some lulls in the storytelling. I wasn’t one of the people who hated the series finale. The show was always evolving and changing. The special effects, the storylines, the actors were aging and the ones that started as kids really came into their own by the end of the run. STRANGER […]Read On »

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY is the fourth SPIDER-MAN movie to star Tom Holland (who has also played the character in other Marvel Cinematic Universe, aka MCU, movies) once Spider-Man/Peter Parker had been […]Read On »
