Rating: R Stars: Kim Spearman, Jack Parr, Alexander Arnold, Erin Mullen, Arlo Carter, Julian Sands Writer: Nick Saltrese, story by Alexander Prendergast and Nick Saltrese Director: Joachim Hedér Distributor: RLJE Films Release Date: July 26, 2024 There is no point in comparing a movie to anything it isn’t trying to be in the first place. Shark movies, therefore, generally shouldn’t be held up against, say, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, but rather JAWS. THE LAST BREATH isn’t JAWS (not much is), but it’s decent enough. For novelty, it takes place mostly in and around the sunken wreck of the WWII […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Ladi Emeruwa, Charlotte Price, Eddie Eyre, Amerjit Deu, Miki Davis, Nathan Turner, Tom Gordon Writers: Bertie Speirs & Samantha Speirs Directors: Bertie Speirs & Samantha Speirs Distributor: Slated Release Date: July 23, 2024 (VOD, digital) In MIDNIGHT TAXI, we meet licensed London cab driver Eddie Carter (Ladi Emeruwa). Eddie works nights, which suits him. He’s good at his job, has “the knowledge” (the memorization of the placement of every street in London required of all licensed cabbies), regularly cleans his vehicle, and is courteous to his fares. But Eddie suffers from sleep disorders and is permanently […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Gwilym Lee, Carolyn Bracken, Tadhg Murphy, Caroline Menton, Jonathan French, Steve Wall Writer: Damian McCarthy Director: Damian McCarthy Distributor: IFC Films/Shudder Release Date: July 19, 2024 (theatrical) ODDITY is a contemporary Irish horror film that uses multiple mythic ingredients for maximum effect. Dani Timmis (Carolyn Bracken) is alone in a huge, isolated manor. She seems unafraid as she chats on the phone to her husband, Dr. Ted Timmis (Gwilym Lee), who works at a mental hospital in the city. Dani has a tent and an automatic camera set up, hoping to capture images of ghosts. Dani also […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE ABANDON

THE ABANDON Key Art | ©2024 Lionsgate

Rating: R Stars: Jonathan Rosenthal, Tamara Perry, Regis Terencio Writer: Dwain Worrell Director: Jason Satterlund Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: July 19, 2024 (theatrical); July 30, 2024 (VOD) THE ABANDON is a fairly engaging science-fiction film that is mostly set in a single room. Not to worry – the scenery doesn’t get boring. Under Jason Satterlund’s direction, there is a sense of propulsion and suspense as the room keeps changing its configurations, gravity, and magnetism. THE ABANDON isn’t all minimalism, either. We begin in a war zone, with tanks and artillery continually firing and planes dropping bombs. On the ground, things […]Read On »

Movie Review: THINE EARS SHALL BLEED

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Andrew Hovelson, Hannah Cabell, Lucas Near-Verbrugghe, Lea Zawada, Duke Huston Writers: Ben Bigelow & William Bigelow Director: Ben Bigelow Distributor: Miracle Media/Trinity Creative Partnership Release Date: July 9, 2024 (digital U.S.); July 15, 2024 (digital U.K.) THINE EARS SHALL BLEED is period folk horror that feels like a less ambitious version of 2016’s THE WITCH. We’re in the 1860s rather than the 1600s, the central family is not quite so strict, and the supernatural gets more verbal explanation. Nevertheless, it’s a clash between conventional evangelical religion and the forces of darkness. Reverend Ezekiel Thatcher (Andrew Hovelson), […]Read On »

Movie Review: LONGLEGS

Rating: R Stars: Maika Monroe, Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, Nicolas Cage, Michelle Choi-Lee, Lauren Acala, Kiernan Shipka, Ava Kelders, Carmel Amit Writer: Osgood Perkins| Director: Osgood Perkins Distributor: Neon Release Date: July 12, 2024 LONGLEGS succeeds at being admirably scary, leavened by some very funny moments. Mixing FBI procedural thriller with supernatural chiller, writer/director Osgood Perkins has made a film that feels something like a hybrid of 1991’s THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and 1982’s HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH. (The latter isn’t a spot-on comparison, but it’s close as far as the magical mechanisms.) We get quite a […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Bob Gunton, Peyton List, Briana Middleton, Rachel Nichols, Austin Stowell, David Walton, Reese Alexander Writers: Chris LaMont & Joseph Russo Director: Alejandro Brugués Distributor: Vertical Release Date: July 12, 2024 (theatrical and VOD) NBC’s horror anthology series THE NIGHT GALLERY ran from 1969 through 1973. Created and hosted by Rod Serling, the show mixed gore with gentility in often upscale surroundings that looked expensive without being too extensive for television, and almost always with a twist ending. While THE INHERITANCE is a 2024 single-story feature (not to be confused with multiple other films with the same […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Rupert Lazarus, Sidney Nicole Rogers, Andrea Tivadar, Ken Lawson, Eleanor Williams, Emily Hall, Eric Roberts Writer: Gino McKoy Director: Gino McKoy Distributor: Goldove Release Date: July 12, 2024 LUMINA has a cool premise. What if your life partner turned out to be a frequent alien abductee? And where on Earth would you go to search for that person if they were taken again during your relationship? The opening seems promising. A vehicle drives past a helmeted skull in the desert. Spaceships are hovering in the air. A reptile that looks like a tiny dinosaur investigates a dropped […]Read On »
