Highly Suspect Reviews

EXIT 8 MOVIE REVIEW Imagine you’re coming out of the subway, going down those meticulously scrubbed (at least in Japan) white tile tunnels on your way to the surface. You’re looking at your phone and not really paying attention. Then, you notice no one else is around. One guy, seemingly oblivious to you, walks by […]

THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE REVIEW Well, I guess we can no longer say that video game movie adaptations aren’t profitable because there have been more than a few of late, notably The Super Mario Bros. Movie in 2023. Now, it’s inevitable sequel is here with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Mario (Chris Pratt) and […]

PROJECT HAIL MARY MOVIE REVIEW Waking up in deep space on a ship with the only other crew members dead and with no knowledge of how you got there on a one-way trip to save the universe is one of my greatest fears. I’m sure if it was more likely to happen it would rank […]

UNDERTONE MOVIE REVIEW We here at oneofus.net have some experience with recording/editing podcasts all alone at night in spooky houses (some of us doing it while a beloved family member lies dying nearby). For those of us who can identify, this is a potentially very unsettling situation. Thus it is for Evy (Nina Kiri) who […]

THE BRIDE! MOVIE REVIEW The 2020s seem to be the era of the return of the Universal monster. Not that you’d always recognize them as such. I suspect original director of The Bride of Frankenstein James Whale would be very confused by the existence of The Bride! but given that he was, in his time, […]

HOW TO MAKE A KILLING MOVIE REVIEW The human quokka Glen Powell stars as Becket Redfellow, a man on death row telling a priest his life story hours before his execution. His mother was the heir to an enormous fortune when she got impregnated by a…gasp…’commoner’. Her father, Whitelaw (Ed Harris) demanded she terminate it […]

CRIME 101 MOVIE REVIEW We love a good heist movie, especially when it focuses on both the cops and the robbers as primary characters. Here, in writer/director Bart Layton’s Crime 101 you’ve got a lot of the genre tropes ticking. There’s the good master thief (Chris Hemsworth) who never lets anyone get hurt and has […]

WUTHERING HEIGHTS MOVIE REVIEW There have been a LOT of film and tv adaptations of Wuthering Heights, author Emily Bronte’s single novel from 1847. It’s been translated into different languages, different settings, times, and genres. Like a lot of romantic dramas, the love story is deeply problematic in the sense that these are two very […]

PILLION MOVIE REVIEW One of the biggest award winning and best reviewed films of 2025 was one that might not be on your radar at all. With an American release from A24 this directorial debut by Harry Lighton has garnered lots of attention in the indie cinema world. But why have you not heard about […]

THE MOMENT MOVIE REVIEW There have been plenty of musical biopics, concert films, and documentaries about incredible music artists, but none like The Moment. The film stars pop music star, Charli XCX, playing a version of herself in this warped comedic mockumentary about the tail end of her iconic “Brat Summer” tour. As Charli prepares […]
