Rating: R Stars: Taylor Russell, Timothée Chalamet, Mark Rylance, André Holland, Michael Stuhlbarg, David Gordon Green, Jessica Harper, Jake Horowitz, Anna Cobb, Chloë Sevigny Writer: David Kajganich, based on the novel by Camille DeAngelis Director: Luca Guadagnino Distributor: MGM Release Date: November 18, 2022 (Los Angeles & New York); November 23, 2022 (wide) It’s 1988. Maren Yearly (Taylor Russell) is an eighteen-year-old with an unusual compulsion: she is occasionally driven to eat human flesh. Her father (André Holland), who does not share this trait, finally can’t take it. We get the impression that it’s not so much the running and […]Read On »

If the exact same movie had been made by anyone except director/co-writer (with Tony Kushner) Steven Spielberg, would it be received in anything like the same way? But then, could anyone except Spielberg have made anything […]Read On »

Well, really the first thing people should know about THE MENU is that it’s a very good movie. However, the advertising is such that people should be warned, or reassured, as the case may […]Read On »

Rating: Not rated Stars: Peyton List, Brendan Meyer, Kelcey Mawema, Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Dylan Schombing, Miriam Smith Writer: Damien Ober Director: Scooter Corkle Distributor: RLJE Films Release Date: November 11, 2022 In THE FRIENDSHIP GAME, the title refers to both a pastime and an actual object. The latter is a bowling ball-sized device that looks like a cross between a huge twelve-sided dice and the Lament Configuration. Friends Zoosa (Peyton List) and Cotton (Kaitlyn Santa Juana), in the summer between high school and college, come across the Friendship Game at a lawn sale.

YOU RESEMBLE ME is here to provide one answer. It is a singular answer, not even attempting to cover all possible responses, but a convincing one. The real Hasna Ait Boulahcen was twenty-six years old when she died in an explosion in Paris, France in November, 2015. At […]Read On »

Rating: Not rated Stars: Lauren LaVera, David Howard Thornton, Elliott Fullam, Sarah Voigt, Kailey Hyman, Casey Hartnett, Charlie McElveen, Samantha Scaffidi, Chris Jericho, Amelie McLain Writer: Damien Leone Director: Damien Leone Distributor: Cinedigm (theatrical), Screambox (VOD), Bloody Disgusting (all media) Release Date: October 6, 2022 The original 2016 TERRIFIER is a brisk hour and twenty-five minutes. Its new sequel, TERRIFIER 2, is two hours and eighteen minutes long. Since most slasher horror films don’t run that long, this makes TERRIFIER 2 an immediate oddity. Both TERRIFIER and TERRIFIER 2 are the epitome of hardcore slashers. It’s understandable why neither one […]Read On »

Rating: Not rated Stars: Eva Green, Mark Strong, Chai Fonacier, Billie Gadson Writer: Garret Shanley Director: Lorcan Finnegan Distributor: RLJE Entertainment Release Date: November 4, 2022 (theatrical); November 22, 2022 (on demand and digital) NOCEBO is a remarkably good horror film that pulls off two difficult tasks. First, it successfully keeps us engrossed and in suspense as to exactly what will happen, even when we work out what’s happening and why. Second, it plays with our sympathies to a degree that is seldom achievable. When we meet Christine (Eva Green), she’s happy in everything. She’s in a loving marriage with […]Read On »
