Rating: Not Rated Stars: Caitlin Carver, Mina Sundwall, Richard Ellis, Christian Antidormi, Ethan Herisse, Ted Barton Writer: James B. Cox Director: James B. Cox Distributor: Night Hawks Entertainment/One Tree Entertainment Release Date: April 15, 2025 (digital) CALL OF THE VOID is one of those movies that invites a salute simply for its existence. Made on a low budget in the mountains of San Bernardino, California, it is well-acted, well-photographed, and has some great traditional American folk music. It doesn’t even do anything preposterous. At the outset, we see what appears to be an elemental void swirling around a black hole. […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Sari Arambulo, Billy Burke, Molly Brown, Eddie Leavy, Margot Anderson-Song, Taylor Seupel, Angel Theory, Matt Hopkins, Jeffrey Dean Morgan Writer: Matthew John Lawrence Director: Matthew John Lawrence Distributor: RLJE Films/Shudder Release Date: December 27, 2024 (theatrical); March 21, 2025 (Shudder streaming) With apologies to Stephen Graham Jones, who wrote an unrelated novel with this title, I WAS A TEENAGE SLASHER would have been a more informative moniker for BLOODY AXE WOUND. The initial set-up for BLOODY AXE WOUND, which we’ll get to in a bit, suggests that the film is going to head in one direction, […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Miles Teller, Anya Taylor-Joy, Sigourney Weaver, Sope Dirisu, William Houston Writer: Zach Dean Director: Scott Derrickson Distributor: Apple TV+ Release Date: February 14, 2025 THE GORGE has something for everyone, especially monster lovers. We get espionage, romance, sharpshooters, mysteries that mostly have logical answers, and eventually, lots of different kinds of homicidal creatures. Levi (Miles Teller) is a former U.S. government assassin, now retired, who is called back to service by his old colleague Bartholomew (Sigourney Weaver). Bartholomew reaches out to Levi because this is a top-secret year-long job that will have (supposedly) no human contact, and […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Olivia Holt, Mason Gooding, Gigi Zumbado, Michaela Watkins, Jordana Brewster, Devon Sawa Writers: Phillip Murphy and Christopher Landon & Michael Kennedy Director: Josh Ruben Distributor: Sony/Screen Gems Release Date: February 7, 2025 As masked slasher horror/Hallmark-type romantic comedies go, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect example than HEART EYES. Writers Phillip Murphy and Christopher Landon & Michael Kennedy and director Josh Ruben demonstrate keen knowledge of both genres, plus the ability to affectionately and cleverly poke fun at both. Simultaneously and miraculously, HEART EYES manages to faithfully replicate the look and feel of more sober offerings, […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, Matilda Firth, Sam Jaeger, Zac Chandler Writers: Leigh Whannell & Corbett Tuck Director: Leigh Whannell Distributor: Universal Pictures Release Date: January 17, 2025 With their reluctant monster protagonists, werewolf stories are an obvious source of emotion and metaphor, as well as straight-out horror. Director Leigh Whannell and his co-writer, the late Corbett Tuck (the film is dedicated to his memory), attempt to bring enormous heart and introspection to their take on lycanthropy in WOLF MAN. We can see how their approach is meant to work, and our awareness of the tactics involved may […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Whit Kunschik, Zack Gold, Jim Tuck, Madonna Young Magee, Robert Louis Stephenson Writer: Jon Sarro Director: Cody Ashford Distributor: Dark Sky Films Release Date: November 8, 2024 (theatrical, VOD, digital) The title of DRIVE BACK appears once in the film, scrawled on the reverse side of a road sign. It has several meanings, but the most immediate is, “Turn back, don’t go this way.” Of course, the warning is neither seen nor heeded. In the opening, nine-year-old Reid is sitting in a tree, drawing on his sketchpad. He is startled by the sound of rifle fire. […]Read On »
