Rating: R Stars: Peter Zizzo, Terri Apple, Jessee Clarkson, Andy Lauer, Janna Cardia, Joel Searls, Brendan James Hanrahan, David Hemphill, Matthew Peschio, Dawsyn Eubanks, Roy Abramsohn Writer: Stuart Ortiz Director: Stuart Ortiz Distributor: Saban Films/Roadside Attractions Release Date: August 8, 2025 STRANGE HARVEST is done in the style of a true crime documentary. It is (as its closing credits proclaim) entirely fictional, but so solid in its presentation that viewers may be tempted to check some of the facts just to be sure. We begin with narration by former San Bernardino, California, police detective Joseph Kirby (Peter Zizzo), who speaks […]Read On »

Movie Review: BIRTHRITE

BIRTHRITE movie poster | ©2025 Brainstorm Media

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Alice Kremelberg, Juani Feliz, Jennifer LaFleur, Henny Russell, Owen Campbell, Michael Chernus Writers: Patch Darragh & Erin Gann Director: Ross Partridge Distributor: Brainstorm Media Release Date: August 8, 2025 (theatrical, VOD) BIRTHRITE has a satisfyingly creepy atmosphere, but the way it doles out its mythology is problematic, as is its character logic. The film begins with a small fire in the woods at night. A cloaked figure wearing horns hands something to another hooded person, who runs away with the gift. Then it’s daylight. Wren Collins (Alice Kremelberg) is astonished to learn that not only did […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Amy Madigan, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Benedict Wong, Cary Christopher, Toby Huss, Whitmer Thomas, Clayton Ferris, Callie Schuttera, Justin Long Writer: Zach Cregger Director: Zach Cregger Distributor: Warner Bros./New Line Cinema Release Date: August 8, 2025 WEAPONS has a climactic sequence so striking, so perfect in its contemporary fairytale horror, that we wonder if writer/director Zach Cregger didn’t start with this and build backwards. As it is, Cregger presents us with a major what’s-going-on-here mystery at the outset, which is revealed in segments, each devoted to a different character’s point of view. An […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Danny Huston, Kevin Durand, CCH Pounder Writers: Dan Gregor & Doug Mand & Akiva Schaffer Director: Akiva Schaffer Distributor: Paramount Release Date: August 1, 2025 As the saying goes, comedy is hard. As a less concise saying might go, comedy honoring a previous comedy that was released thirty-seven years ago, in the style of that earlier film but still funny for modern audiences, is harder. Rather remarkably, the new iteration of THE NAKED GUN – not a remake, but rather a sequel to the earlier films – mostly succeeds. In […]Read On »

Barrett Cooper Writer: Calvin Lee Reeder Director: Calvin Lee Reeder Distributor: Dark Star Pictures Release Date: July 25, 2025 (theatrical), August 5, 2025 (digital) How do you make curing cancer play as sinister? Writer/director Calvin Lee Reeder handily accomplishes this in THE A-FRAME. Donna Walker is a young pianist who has been diagnosed with cancer in one hand. Her doctor (J. Barnett Cooper) wants to amputate as soon as possible to prevent the cancer’s spread, but Donna is desperately searching for alternatives, […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Airisa Durand, Jason Brooks, Naomi, Charlie Dae, Steve Larkin, Chynna Shurts, Laura Ellen Wilson Writer: Calvin Morie McCarthy Director: Calvin Morie McCarthy Distributor: Breaking Glass Pictures Release Date: August 1, 2025 (digital) THE LIZZIE BORDEN GAME is a riff on the BLOODY MARY/CANDYMAN-style invocation of a spirit, achieved by chanting into a mirror. In this case, the familiar rhyme about Lizzie Borden, accused and then acquitted of killing her father and stepmother with an axe, provides the ritual words. After two young sisters unfortunately play the game and get the exact result you’d expect, three months […]Read On »
