KEEPER movie poster | ©2025 Neon

Rating: R Stars: Tatiana Maslany, Rossif Sutherland, Birkett Turton, Eden Weiss Writer: Nick Lepard Director: Osgood Perkins Distributor: Neon Release Date: November 14, 2025 With KEEPER, the studio has gone out of its way to request no spoilers. Fair enough. Therefore, we’ll try to keep to just with what’s in the trailer and the first few minutes of the film. KEEPER starts with a quick montage of several attractive women who are in relationships that are at first promising and descend into atrocity. We only see the women; whoever they’re interacting with has the camera’s point of view. We meet […]Read On »

CHAIN REACTIONS movie poster | ©2025 Dark Sky Films

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King, Karyn Kusama Writer: Alexandre O. Philippe Director: Alexandre O. Philippe Distributor: Dark Sky Films Release Date: September 19, 2025 (theatrical); October 21, 2025 (digital, VOD) CHAIN REACTIONS is a killer title for a documentary that is all about people’s reactions to the 1974 horror movie THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE. It works not just because of the pun, but also because CHAIN REACTIONS, written and directed by Alexandre O. Philippe, explores the “chain reaction” that the now-fifty-one-year-old film has influenced so much of what followed, which in turn […]Read On »

Movie Review: PETER HUJAR’S DAY

PETER HUJAR'S DAY movie poster | ©2025 Janus Films

Peter Hujar was a New York-based photographer in the 1960s through the 1980s. Although he became much more famous after his death in 1987 than he had been in life, he was already acknowledged as an influential figure, known for the authenticity he captured in his mostly black-and-white work. On December 19, 1974, Hujar sat down with his good friend Linda Rosenkrantz, who at that point was planning to do a book of interviews with a variety of people she knew. While that project never materialized, the transcript of Rosenkrantz’s interview with Hujar was located in 2019 and published in […]Read On »

DIE MY LOVE movie poster | ©2025 Mubi

Rating: R Stars: Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte, LaKeith Stanfield Writers: Enda Walsh & Lynne Ramsay and Alice Birch, based on the novel by Ariana Harwicz Director: Lynne Ramsay Distributor: Mubi Release Date: November 7, 2025 Despite what is implied in the advertising, DIE MY LOVE is not a thriller in any common usage of that word. Instead, it is a drama about postpartum depression that spirals into psychosis. At the beginning of DIE MY LOVE, Grace (Jennifer Lawrence) and Jackson (Robert Pattinson) share a sexual desire that burns as hot as the forest fire intercut with […]Read On »

Movie Review: YOUR HOST

YOUR HOST movie poster | ©2025 RNF Productions

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Jackie Earle Haley, Ella-Rae Smith, Jamie Flatters, David Angland, Joelle Ray, Tom Claxton Writer: Joey Miller Director: DW Medoff Distributor: RNF Productions Release Date: October 14, 2025 (VOD) YOUR HOST concerns a torture game show, videotaped by the Host (Jackie Earle Haley). Since what seems to be happening at the outset is in fact the substance of the movie, it’s not too spoilery to say that the Host is doing this for his own reasons and that it’s not supernatural. We see “winner” Jake (Tom Claxton), shackled and bloodied, get shot after the Host breaks his […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Diane Lane, Kyle Chandler, Madeline Brewer, Zoey Deutch, Phoebe Dynevor, Mckenna Grace, Daryl McCormack, Dylan O’Brien, Selda Kaya, Sky Yang, Flavia Watson Writer: Lori Rosene-Gambino, story by Jan Komasa and Lori Rosene-Gambino Director: Jan Komasa Distributor: Lionsgate/Roadside Attractions Release Date: October 29, 2025 (theatrical) No one is going to confuse ANNIVERSARY with a movie made after the 2024 election. Few would argue that the U.S. has remained the same since then, but it hasn’t changed in exactly the way ANNIVERSARY anticipates. Scripted by Lori Rosene-Gambino from a story she co-wrote with director Jan Komasa, ANNIVERSARY shows political […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Landry Bennett, Madison Lintz, Amy Hargreaves, Jake Weber, Erik Bloomquist, Carol Cadby, Blaque Fowler, Adam Weppler, Marlee Eaton Writers: Erik Bloomquist & Carson Bloomquist Director: Erik Bloomquist Distributor: Cineverse Release Date: October 31, 2025 SELF-HELP is a refreshingly odd psychological thriller that has elements of true-crime shows but is considerably weirder than most. Directed by Erik Bloomquist and written by the helmer and his brother Carson, SELF-HELP starts with a startling incident in which little Olivia (Marlee Eaton) sneaks away from her birthday party to see where her mother Rebecca (Amy Hargreaves) has gone. The upshot is […]Read On »
