Movie Review: TOGETHER

TOGETHER movie poster | ©2025 Neon

Rating: R Stars: Dave Franco, Alison Brie, Damon Herriman Writer: Michael Shanks Director: Michael Shanks Distributor: Neon Release Date: July 30, 2025 What do we need out of a committed relationship and what are we willing to give up to get it? These questions are often asked in films (and television and plays and books and songs and articles and so on), but they are usually not posed as they are in TOGETHER. Written and directed by Australian filmmaker Michael Shanks (not to be confused with the STARGATE SG-1 actor of the same name), TOGETHER starts with a search for […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE HOME

THE HOME movie poster | ©2025 Lionsgate

Rating: R Stars: Pete Davidson, John Glover, Bruce Altman, Mary Beth Peil, Jessica Hecht, Victor Williams, Mugga, Ethan Phillips, Adam Cantor, Matthew Miniero, Jagger Nelson, Marilee Talkington Writers: James DeMonaco & Adam Cantor Director: James DeMonaco Distributor: Roadside Attractions/Lionsgate/Miramax Release Date: July 25, 2025 Writer/director James DeMonaco is probably best known for creating THE PURGE franchise. While his new film THE HOME, co-written with Adam Cantor, is significantly different in many ways, it shares with THE PURGE a certain philosophy about how privilege can easily lead to predation. We meet Luke (Matthew Miniero) and his eleven-year-old brother Max (Jagger Nelson) […]Read On »

Movie Review: ET TU

ET TU movie poster | ©2025 Buffalo 8 Productions

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Lou Diamond Phillips, Malcolm McDowell, Antwone Barnes, Isabella Blake-Thomas, Rachel Alig, Brennan Keel Cook, Jaclyn Mofid, Trevor James, Timothy Patrick Cavanaugh Writer: Max Tzannes Director: Max Tzannes Distributor: Buffalo 8 Productions Release Date: July 25, 2025 (VOD) ET TU is a very dark theatrical horror comedy that succeeds in large part because writer/director Max Tzannes and his leading man Lou Diamond Phillips understand the value of quiet exasperation. While the film revolves around Shakespeare, this is not THEATER OF BLOOD – although there winds up being quite a lot of blood in the theatre. Phillips plays […]Read On »

Movie Review: HOUSE ON EDEN

HOUSE ON EDEN movie poster | ©2025 RLJE Films

Rating: R Stars: Kris Collins, Celina Myers, Jason-Christopher Mayer, Barb Thomas Writer: Kris Collins Director: Kris Collins Distributor: RLJE Films/Shudder Release Date: July 25, 2025 THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT was released approximately twenty-six years ago. Since then, there have been many (to put it mildly) other films inspired by or, indeed, imitative of its style and/or substance. HOUSE ON EDEN is one of the latest to follow in BLAIR’s ultra-low-budget, faux documentary footsteps. The irony here is that writer/director Kris Collins has come up with a fundamental mythology that’s intriguing but might have been better served by a regular narrative […]Read On »

You just can’t keep a good serial killer down. Though considerably more personable – and with a much clearer if imperfect code of ethics – Michael C. Hall’s Dexter Morgan is on track to having as many returns as Michael Myers. Dexter, a crime scene investigator for the Miami Police Department, spent his spare time tracking down and terminating other serial killers over the eight seasons of Showtime’s DEXTER, 2006-2013. In the series’ final episode, Dexter faked his own death. Then, in 2021’s DEXTER: NEW BLOOD, Dexter was living under an assumed identity in Iron Lake, where he was found […]Read On »

It is set and was made during COVID (the July 2020 wrap date is given in the end credits). The personal-devices variant on found-footage movies can be great and terrifying (HOST), gripping and suspenseful (SEARCHING), or it can suffer the same pitfalls as fare in any other narrative format. Writers/directors […]Read On »
