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 »

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 »

Movie Review: AFFECTION

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 »

ITCH! Movie Poster | ©2026 Trinity Content Partners/Seven Tales

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 »

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 »

The scrappy indie slasher ends with the onscreen statement, “We made a movie!” The enthusiasm encapsulated there is reflected throughout. Directed and written by Brittney Greer, HAPPY HALLOWEEN has game performances, an impressive corn maze, […]Read On »

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 »

Rating: R Stars: Barbie Ferreira, Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday, Jermaine Fowler, Charli XCX Writers: Isa Mazzei & Daniel Goldhaber, based on the Gorgon series Director: Daniel Goldhaber Distributor: IFC/Shudder Release Date: April 10, 2026 1978’s FACES OF DEATH is an odd mixture of faked mayhem and real expirations. Written and directed by John Alan Schwartz (who wrote under the pseudonym Alan Black and directed as Conan LeCilaire), it purports to be the musings of pathologist Francis B. Gross (Michael Carr) on the transition between life and death. The movie combines staged and actual footage of accidents, executions, newsreels […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Kazunari Ninomiya, Yamato Kochi, Naru Asunuma, Kotone Hanase, Nana Komatsu Writers: Kentaro Hirase & Genki Kawamura, based on the video game THE EXIT 8 developed by Kotake Create Director: Genki Kawamura Distributor: Neon Release Date: April 10, 2026 (U.S. theatrical) Based on the hugely popular video game first released in 2023, EXIT 8 is surreal, symbolic and surprisingly immersive. Director Genki Kawamura and his co-screenwriter Kentaro Hinase, along with leading man Kazunari Ninomiya, deserve enormous credit for making something compelling out of challenging material. It’s generally difficult to make a good movie from a video game, but […]Read On »
