Rogue Reviews

Street Fighter (2026) follows estranged fighters Ryu and Ken as they are recruited for the World Warrior Tournament, forcing them to confront each other and their past. Directed by Kitao Sakurai, the film stars Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, Callina Liang, Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa'i, David Dastmalchian, Cody Rhodes, Eric André and Jason Momoa.

We look back on our own memories of the Street Fighter games, compare the film to recent Mortal Kombat adaptations, and discuss its 1990s setting, over-the-top tone, fight sequences, casting choices and thin story. Plus, we share our overall verdicts on whether the film works as fan-focused entertainment and what they would want from a sequel.

Rob Savage, the director of The Boogeyman, returns to supernatural horror with Other Mommy, written by Nathan Elston. The film follows Bela (Arabella Olivia Clark), a young girl who comes into contact with a paranormal entity that has taken on the form of her mother. Jessica Chastain stars in a dual role as Bela's mother and Other Mommy, with Jay Duplass, Dichen Lachman, Arian Moayed and Karen Allen co-starring.

With Halloween upon us, we discuss whether Other Mommy is a solid scare for casual horror fans or too by-the-numbers for hardcore ones, how Chastain's unsettling performance and some clever lighting and camera work create its creepiest moments, and why a likeable family who make sensible decisions feels refreshing. We also compare it with The Babadook and Mama, which also starred Chastain, and share our favourite scary sequences.

Three very different films and none of them are playing it safe. Nuremberg puts Rami Malek and Russell Crowe in a locked room: an army psychiatrist across the table from Hermann Göring, trading psychological blows in a courtroom thriller built on the real aftermath of the war. Sisu: Road to Revenge doubles down on the Finnish one-man army, a hyper-violent sequel that sends him straight at the Red Army. Anaconda tries something stranger, a meta comedy-horror remake with Jack Black and Paul Rudd that never quite finds the bite of the 1997 original.

We get into whether Nuremberg holds up against other recent World War II dramas like Pressure, why Sisu: Road to Revenge is an absolute blast even if you missed the first film, and how Anaconda wastes an incredibly talented comedic cast on a weak, mainstream script.

Fast-forward to hear about:

01:12: Nuremberg (2025)

10:08: Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025)

20:38: Anaconda (2025)
