THE WRONG GIRLS MOVIE REVIEW I definitely did not have on my scorecard for 2026, NEON releases a stoner superhero movie with Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat. But here we are. The Wrong Girls follows these two (Frankie and Molly respectively) who are best friends, roommates, bombed out stoners, and total losers. Rent and bills […]

LEVITICUS MOVIE REVIEW Horror is big in 2026 and I’m not just talking about having a visceral reaction to the current state of America. The studios with horror projects on their shelves are getting dollar signs in their eyes after the wild and unpredicted success of Obsession, Hokum, and Backrooms and everybody wants in. No […]

SHELBY OAKS MOVIE REVIEW A popular online video series of paranormal haunt investigators turns into a huge mystery when after going to investigate an abandoned town, Shelby Oaks, all four members of the cast go missing. The case drags on for years and years until only the sister of one of them still is determined […]

THE LIFE OF CHUCK MOVIE REVIEW The latest Stephen King adaptation isn’t a horror movie, although there is an apocalypse underway and a LOT of existential dread in the first (or third, as marked) act. No, it’s a feel-good, tear-jerker, ‘enjoy your life because it doesn’t last forever’ inspirational film. It’s also told in reverse […]

THE MONKEY MOVIE REVIEW Director/writer Osgood Perkins is on a roll.

Gretchen (Hunter Schafer) is a grieving teen who can't really deal with the death of her mother. Being not quite 18, she reluctantly moves with her father (Marton Csokas), stepmother (Jessica Henwick) and mysteriously...

LONGLEGS MOVIE REVIEW The hype is here for director/writer Osgood Perkins new horror film Longlegs. It’s everywhere. Even not huge horror fans I know are talking about it in anticipation. Which is weird because I only know a handful of people who actually saw his terrific other films, The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel and Hansel, and […]

EILEEN MOVIE REVIEW It’s Christmas time in a small town in 1960’s Massachusetts, a place where any hopes and dreams are killed and buried beneath the cold and the grey of the monotonous tedium of everyday life. At least that’s the case for Eileen Dunlap (Thomasin McKenzie) as she spends her days listlessly going from […]

FERRARI MOVIE REVIEW It’s been 8 years since his last film Blackhat and Michael Mann is finally back in the director’s chair with his newest film, Ferrari. The film follows ex-racer and entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari, played here by an aged up Adam Driver, during a tumultuous summer in 1957 where he jungles his auto-empire and […]
