Rating: R Stars: Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Ryan Bader, Bas Rutten Writer: Benny Safdie Director: Benny Safdie Distributor: A24 Release Date: October 3, 2025 THE SMASHING MACHINE is a fact-based drama about the life and career of mixed martial arts fighting star Mark Kerr. This follows the 2022 HBO documentary about Kerr, THE SMASHING MACHINE: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF EXTREME FIGHTER MARK KERR. What sets the new SMASHING MACHINE apart from other narrative features covering mixed martial arts, boxing, wrestling, and other full-contact one-on-one sports is not so much the approach of writer/director Benny Safdie to the material. Instead, […]Read On »

Movie Review: BONE LAKE

Rating: R Stars: Alex Roe, Maddie Hasson, Marco Pigossi, Andra Nechita, Clayton Spencer, Elaine Reis Writer: Joshua Friedlander Director: Mercedes Bryce Morgan Distributor: Bleecker Street Release Date: October 3, 2025 BONE LAKE is an erotic thriller, an entry in the horror subgenre of predatory couples who get off on terrorizing other couples. It’s reasonably entertaining, although the heroes are so dense and the villains so overconfident in their appeal that we’re not sure whether or not it’s intended as an example of yet another genre: parody. We start out seeing a naked man (Clayton Spencer) and woman (Elaine Reis) running […]Read On »

HELL HOUSE LLC.: LINEAGE movie poster | ©2025 Shudder/Terror Films

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Elizabeth Vermilyea, Sierra Sawka, Mike Sutton, Joe Bandelli, Nicholas Stoesser, Emily Fan, Victoria Andrunik, Kayla Berejikian Writer: Stephen Cognetti Director: Stephen Cognetti Distributor: Shudder/Terror Films Release Date: October 3, 2025 (Shudder) There is something impressive about writer/director Stephen Cognetti’s ability to inject just enough changes into a formula to keep things lively, while maintaining the elements that make a franchise hang together. However, he presses his luck with HELL HOUSE LLC: LINEAGE, as it refers a little overmuch to its predecessors, and ends on a cliffhanger. HELL HOUSE LLC: LINEAGE is the fifth film Cognetti has […]Read On »

Movie Review: ALL THE DEVILS ARE HERE

ALL THE DEVILS ARE HERE | ©2025 Republic Pictures

Rating: R Stars: Eddie Marsan, Sam Claflin, Burn Gorman, Tienne Simon, Suki Waterhouse, Rory Kinnear Writer: John Patrick Dover Director: Barnaby Roper Distributor: Republic Pictures Release Date: September 26, 2025 ALL THE DEVILS ARE HERE begins with a long shot of an isolated two-story farmhouse in the English countryside. We hear men’s voices, then gunfire. One of the things that we later realize is that this scene is not repeated, as we expect it to be, in the third act. Ronnie Blake (Eddie Marsan) starts out speaking to us in voiceover. He wants to tell us some things. It will […]Read On »

Pat Benatar is singing “Heartbreaker” on MTV, and all of suburbia has VCRs on their cathode ray tube TVs. Babysitter Emily (Summer H. Howell) is reassuring her two young charges, Mark (Huxley Fisher) and Marina (Isla Spencer). Mark is afraid of the “Skinny Eater” that […]Read On »

Moffett, Tony Goldwyn, Shayna McHayle, Starletta DuPois Writer: Paul Thomas Anderson, inspired by the novel VINELAND by Thomas Pynchon Director: Paul Thomas Anderson Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: September 26, 2025 ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER begins with an attack on a U.S. internment camp along the U.S./Mexico border. The revolutionaries/terrorists (pick your preferred term) threaten but do not shoot the soldiers on the premises while liberating the prisoners, including families with small children. We then follow the militants, who call themselves […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Lulu Wilson, Omari Hardwick, Wrenn Schmidt, Trae Romano, Josh Cooke, Paul Schneider, Garrett van der Leun Writer: Matthew Loren Oates Director: Matthew Loren Oates Distributor: Blue Fox Entertainment Release Date: September 19, 2025 The alien is bigger and scarier, and the situations become darker, but XENO in essence is a variation on E.T. Fifteen-year-old Renee Rowan (Lulu Wilson) lives in an isolated house with her widowed mom Linda (Wrenn Schmidt) outside a medium-sized town in the New Mexico desert. Linda’s alcoholic boyfriend Chase (Paul Schneider) technically has his own place, but always seems to be there, picking […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Austin Pulliam Writers: Zack Akers & Skip Bronkie and Justin Tipping Director: Justin Tipping Distributor: Universal Release Date: September 19, 2025 The good news about HIM is that it is not what it first appears to be. Viewers who have seen the ad campaign or even watch the first section of the movie may understandably think this is one of those horror films where an older person uses supernatural means to install their soul into the body of an unsuspecting younger person. This does not turn out to be […]Read On »
