SCREAMS FROM THE TOWER movie poster | ©2026 TLA Releasing

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Richie Fusco, David Bloom, Jessica Joy, Roe Hartramph, Sara Sevigny, Snag Flynn, Sydney Lolita Cusic, Ryan Gold, TJ Lee, Amanda Bruton, Madison Tevlin, Justin Prince Moy, Melody Betts Writer: Cory Wexler Grant Director: Cory Wexler Grant Distributor: TLA Releasing Release Date: April 14, 2026 (VOD) Set in the upper-middle-class suburb of New Forest, Illinois in the mid-1990s, SCREAMS FROM THE TOWER has a fair amount of verisimilitude. Writer/director Cory Wexler Grant almost effortlessly persuades us that this is what high school juniors (who become seniors over the course of the story) would do with the opportunity […]Read On »

Movie Review: FUZE

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN
FUZE movie poster | ©2026 Roadside Attractions/Saban Films

Rating: R Stars: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Theo James, Saffron Hocking, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Elham Ehsas, Sam Worthington, Alexander Arnold Writer: Ben Hopkins Director: David Mackenzie Distributor: Roadside Attractions/Saban Films Release Date: April 24, 2026 FUZE is what might be termed a what’s-going-on-here thriller that is so intent on its own complexities that it obscures its throughlines. Directed by David Mackenzie from Ben Hopkins’s script, FUZE begins at a construction site in London. All work abruptly stops when the construction crew realize they’ve partly unearthed an unexploded WWII-era bomb that is large enough to crater the whole neighborhood if it goes off. The […]Read On »

Movie Review: LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY

LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY movie poster | ©2026 Warner Bros.

Rating: R Stars: Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, Shylo Molina, Billie Roy, Veronica Falcón, Hayat Kamille, May Elghety, Emily Mitchell, Dean Allen Williams Writer: Lee Cronin Director: Lee Cronin Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: April 17, 2026 The intent behind the full title of LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY seems less to emphasize the writer/director, who is a very good filmmaker but not at present a marquee name, but rather to differentiate this MUMMY from the franchise starring Brendan Fraser or the one starring Tom Cruise. Nobody seeing more than the first fifteen minutes or so of LEE […]Read On »

MANOR OF DARKNESS movie poster | ©2025 Ridder Films

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Kim Spearman, Louis James, Sarah Alexandra Marks, Rui Shang, Stuart Wolfe-Murray, Stacey O’Shea, Glenn Salvage, Sorcha Verey Writer: Blake Ridder Director: Blake Ridder Distributor: Ridder Films Release Date: December 9, 2025 (digital, VOD) MANOR OF DARKNESS begins promisingly, with David Engellau’s HALLOWEEN-esque score accompanying us over a cursed-looking forest landscape, culminating in the isolated title estate. Lucas (Stuart Wolfe-Murray) is painting something in the basement. He looks up, reacts in horror, and something oozes through the door lock. We then cut to Laura (Kim Spearman) and her bedridden mother (Stacey O’Shea), who needs surgery. Laura’s job […]Read On »

SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT movie poster | ©2025 Cineverse

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Rohan Campbell, Ruby Modine, Mark Acheson, David Lawrence Brown, David Tomlinson, Sharon Bajer Writer: Mike P. Nelson, based on a screenplay by Michael Hickey, based on a story by Paul Caimi Director: Mike P. Nelson Distributor: Cineverse Release Date: December 12, 2025 The new SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT, directed and scripted by Mike P. Nelson, gives credit to the 1984 original of that title, which was directed by Charles E. Sellier Jr. with a screenplay by Michael Hickey, based on a story by Paul Caimi. Filmmaker Nelson takes pains to recall elements of the earlier SILENT […]Read On »

Movie Review: YOUR HOST

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN 11/02/2025
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 »

Movie Review: ANNIVERSARY

ANNIVERSARY movie poster | ©2025 Lionsgate

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 »

Movie Review: SELF-HELP

SELF-HELP movie poster | ©2025 Cineverse

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 »

QUEENS OF THE DEAD movie poster | ©2025 IFC/Shudder

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Katy O’Brian, Jaquel Spivey. Quincy Dunn-Baker, Margaret Cho, Riki Lindhome, Tomás Matos, Thomas “Nina West” Levitt, Jack Haven, Cheyenne Jackson, Dominique Jackson, Shaunette Renée Wilson, Becca Blackwell, Eve Lindley, Karan Brar, Tom Savini, Julie J Writers: Tina Romero & Erin Judge Director: Tina Romero Distributor: IFC/Shudder Release Date: October 24, 2025 (theatrical) When your personal father is also the acknowledged father of the zombie genre, that would seem to confer certain rights and responsibilities. Tina Romero, daughter of George A. Romero, seems to take these seriously even though she mixes humor into her feature directing debut, […]Read On »

Movie Review: SCURRY

SCURRY movie poster | ©2025 Signature Entertainment

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Jamie Costa, Emalia, Indianna Sparke, Brooke Marsden, Jet Tranter, Geoff Imrie Writer: Tom Evans Director: Luke Sparke Distributor: Signature Entertainment Release Date: October 3, 2025 (VOD) SCURRY takes place in real time. It is also made to look like it’s shot in one continuous take, although viewers familiar with how these things are done will notice those helpful optical swerves into black walls and the like. SCURRY begins mid-catastrophe, as the upper floor of an office building shudders while workers try to flee and at least one is grabbed and bloodily killed by something we don’t […]Read On »
