Rating: R Stars: Michael B. Jordan, Michael Caton, Wunmi Mosaku, Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell, Delroy Lindo, Jayme Lawson, Peter Dreimanis, Lola Kirke, Omar Benson Miller, Li Jun Li, Yao, Buddy Guy, Robert Maldonado, Saul Williams Writer: Ryan Coogler Director: Ryan Coogler Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: April 18, 2025 It’s entirely possible that there’s another movie that combines music, period action, and a straight-faced (as opposed to parody) supernatural side the way that SINNERS does, but if so, this reviewer can’t recall it. Writer/director Ryan Coogler brings this singular tale to life in a manner that can be described as […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Vincent Cassel, Diane Kruger, Guy Pearce, Sandrine Holt, Jennifer Dale, Elizabeth Saunders Writer: David Cronenberg Director: David Cronenberg Distributor: Sideshow/Janus Films Release Date: April 18, 2025 Director/writer David Cronenberg has made his share of mainstream prestige cinema, including M. BUTTERFLY, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, and EASTERN PROMISES. However, when people use the adjective “Cronenbergian,” they are usually thinking of the filmmaker’s tales of eccentric scientists, bodily metamorphosis and conspiracy scenarios. A few of his more notable adventures in this vein include SCANNERS, VIDEODROME, and THE FLY. The latest addition to the latter category is THE SHROUDS. Vincent […]Read On »

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 »

While there is plenty of body horror, and Shudder is listed as a co-distributor, the movie is not conventionally scary. Directed and written by Emilie Blichfeldt, THE UGLY STEPSISTER is mostly simply dark period comedy/social commentary, […]Read On »

It also probably refers to the vertiginous setting of an upscale high-rise-topping restaurant, where much of the action takes place. DROP begins with a nasty bang. A woman (Meghann Fahy) is being brutally beaten, kicked, and threatened with a gun by a hysterical man (Michael Shea). We learn more […]Read On »
