Rating: R Stars: Joe Bird, Stacy Clausen, Jeremy Blewitt, Mia Wasikowska, Ewen Leslie, Davida McKenzie, Nicholas Hope Writer: Adrian Chiarella Director: Adrian Chiarella Distributor: Neon Release Date: June 19, 2026 “Conversion therapy,” for those thankfully unacquainted with the term and/or process, is designed to make LGBTQ people, largely (but not always) teens, lose their innate sexuality and become heterosexual. It is still legal in twenty-seven U.S. states. This “therapy” has been denounced by the American Psychiatric Association and has resulted in suicides and nervous breakdowns, but no provable “conversions.” The phrase “conversion therapy” is never heard in LEVITICUS. Writer/director Adrian […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Sara Khorami, Mikkel Bratt Silset, Ingvild Holthe Bygdnes, Øyvind Brandtzæg, Jenny Evensen, Steiner Klouman Hallert, Filip Bargee Ramberg, Hans Morten Hansen, Jon Erik Myre Writers: Vilde Eide and Kjersti Helen Rasmussen and Natasha Arthur, story by Pål Øie and Sjur Aarthun Director: Pål Øie Distributor: Samuel Goldwyn Films/Nordisk Film Release Date: June 12, 2026 Given the English-language joking about “unleash the Kraken” and “release the Kraken,” this KRAKEN is surprisingly and pleasingly non-campy. True, KRAKEN does have a sonic transducer as part of its plot, but no one mentions or even hums a bar from THE […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Katie Cassidy, William H. Macy, John Patrick Jordan, Allen McCullough, Sari Arambulo, Jeremy Matthew Feight, Sky Vaux Fuller, Noriko Sato, Michael John Improta, Sabrina Schlegel-Mejia Writer: Domenico Salvaggio Director: Jon Keeyes Distributor: Maverick Film/Complex Corp. Release Date: May 31, 2026 (theatrical, digital, VOD) SPEED DEMON has a title that epitomizes truth in advertising: it’s about a literal demon on a speeding out-of-control train. The opening, which is effectively eerie, has a little girl alone in her room. Her father at moments seems to be there with her, but he then blurs out and we see the […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Jacob Scipio, Lou Llobell, Melissa Leo, Joseph Lopez Writers: Zachary Donohue & T.W. Burgess Director: André Øvredal Distributor: Paramount Release Date: May 22, 2026 The new PASSENGER – not to be confused with Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1975 THE PASSENGER, 2022’s THE PASSENGER (LA PASAJERA), or other previous films with similar titles – is crowd-pleasing horror, the kind that has the audience interacting enthusiastically (as opposed to derisively) with the screen. This is the result of a number of intelligent choices made by PASSENGER’s writers, Zachary Donohue & T.W. Burgess, and its director, André Øvredal. For starters, the movie’s […]Read On »

Movie Review: OBSESSION

OBSESSION movie poster | ©2026 Focus Features

Rating: R Stars: Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless, Andy Richter, Haley Fitzgerald, Darin Toonder Writer: Curry Barker Director: Curry Barker Distributor: Focus Features Release Date: May 15, 2026 There are whole supernatural subgenres of fantasy (lighter) and horror (darker) about wishes. The stories predate movies and TV, going back to Greek/Roman/Asian mythology. Whether the intention is to make us laugh, cry, and/or scream, what these tales generally have in common is the message that one should be careful and restrained in making wishes, as these wishes can, and generally do, have unintended consequences. This is the case […]Read On »

AFFECTION movie poster | ©2026 Brainstorm Media

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Jessica Rothe, Joseph Cross, Julianna Layne Writer: BT Meza Director: BT Meza Distributor: Brainstorm Media Release Date: May 8, 2026  AFFECTION is an odd title for this tale. While it is about a number of topics and emotions, fondness isn’t one of them. Obsession, definitely. Love, possibly. The kind of general warm fellow feelings associated with “affection”? No. There have been a lot of movies lately in which characters – mostly women – are grappling with false identities and/or false memories imposed upon them, mostly by men. Let us stipulate that the protagonist (Jessica Rothe) in […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Jay Kang, Olivia Kang, Monica De Oliveira, Steven Alonte, Mia Ventura Lucas, Patrick Michael Valley, Douglas Stirling, Ximena Uribe Writer: Bari Kang Director: Bari Kang Distributor: Trinity Content Partners/Seven Tales Release Date: April 21, 2026 (VOD, U.S./U.K.) Despite the exclamation point in its title and the playfulness of having the look of a “scratchy” print at the start and finish, ITCH! is absolutely not a comedy. It is and isn’t technically a zombie movie, in that people are lethal before death, a la the 28 … LATER franchise. Here, victims of a disease of unknown origin […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh, Michael Patric, Will O’Connell, Brendan Conroy, Austin Amelio, Ezra Carlisle, Mallory Adams, Sioux Carroll Writer: Damian McCarthy Director: Damian McCarthy Distributor: Neon Release Date: May 1, 2026 American novelist Ohm Bauman (Adam Scott) is at the Bilberry Woods Hotel in Ireland in order to scatter his parents’ ashes in the surrounding forest, per their wishes. Despite being a famous author worldwide – even the staff at the out-of-the-way Bilberry have read his books – Bauman is bleak, depressed, and cynical. His opinion of local folklore is that it’s “hokum.” […]Read On »

Usually in horror movies, regardless of […]Read On »
